ETHIOPIA: HISTORY OF INTERNAL CONFLICTS AND INTERSTATE WARS IN MODERN AGE
Journal Title: Scientific Journal of the Military University of Land Forces - Year 2009, Vol 153, Issue 3
Abstract
Ethiopia is a landlocked country situated in the Horn of Africa bordered by Eritrea, Sudan, Somalia, Kenya and Djibuti. It is the oldest country in Africa and one of the oldest in the world. The ancient Ethiopian monarchy maintained its freedom from colonial rule with the exception of a short-lived Italian occupation from 1936 to 1941. In 1974, a military junta, the DERG, deposed Emperor Haile Selassie and established a socialist state. The regime of Colonel Mengistu Haile Mariam was toppled in 1991 by a coalition of rebel forces. Ethiopia is known for its periodic droughts and famines, its long civil conflict and a border war with Eritrea. Addis Abeba could be a very important ally of the West in the Horn of Africa dominated by jihadist movements from Somalia and Sudan.
