Ethiopia, the only African country that was never subjugated to colonial rule, is a “free land” with a very long history. It ranks among the oldest continuously operating states in the world. Its emperors saw themselves as the descendants of the Bible’s King David (which led to their deification by the Rastafarians) until the last one, Haile Selassie, who was toppled in 1974.
