History of Sudan - The Turkiyah.
Main article: History of Sudan (1821-1885)
In 1820–21, an Egyptian-Ottoman force conquered and unified the northern portion of the country. The new government was known as the Turkiyah or Turkish regime.

Although Egypt claimed all of the present Sudan during most of ...

| | | | | History of Ethiopia: Encyclopedia II - Ethiopia - History The Kingdom of Aksum, the first verifiable kingdom of great power to rise in Ethiopia, rose during the first century AD.

For this accomplishment, he received the title "Abba Selama". At various times, includi ...

| | | | | | | History of Ethiopia: Encyclopedia II - History of Sudan - The coming of Islam Islam came to Egypt in the 640s, and pressed southward; around 651 the governor of Egypt raided as far south as Dongola. The Egyptians met with stiff resistance and found little wealth worth capturing. They thus ceased their offensive and a treaty known as the baqt was signed between the Arabs and Makuria. This treaty held for some seven hundred years. The area between the Nile and the Red Sea was a source of gold and emeralds, and Arab miners gradually moved in. Around the 970s an Egyptian envoy Ibn Sulaym went to Dongola and wrote an accou ...

| | | | | History of Ethiopia: Encyclopedia II - History of Sudan - Early history During the ancient period, the area that today is northern Sudan was known as Nubia. Egyptians and people of the Mediterranean world also referred to it as Ethiopia (see History of Ethiopia).

Each of these kingdoms was strongly culturally, economically, politically ...

Ethiopia's population is highly diverse. Most of its people speak a Semitic or Cushitic language. The Oromo, Amhara, and Tigrayans make up more than three-fourths of the population, but there are more than 80 different ethnic groups within Ethiopia. Some of these have as few as 10,000 members.
Semitic-speaking Ethiopians (as well as some Eritreans) collectively refer to themselves as Habesha or Abesha, though others reject these names on the basis that they refer only ...

Ethiopia is 1,127,127 km² in size, and is the major portion of the Horn of Africa, which is the eastern-most part of the African landmass. Within Ethiopia is a massive highland complex of mountains and dissected plateaus divided by the Great Rift Valley, which runs generally southwest to northeast and is surrounded by lowlands, steppes, or semidesert.

Ethiopia remains one of Africa's poorest nations: many Ethiopians rely on food aid from abroad.
After the 1974 revolution, the economy of Ethiopia was run as a socialist economy: strong state controls were implemented, and a large part of the economy was transferred to the public sector, including most modern industry and large-scale commercial agriculture, all agricultural land and urban rental property, and all financial institutions. Since mid-1991, the economy has evolved toward a de ...
