Ethiopia is the oldest independent country in Africa and one of the oldest in the world. What is believed to be the oldest remains of a human ancestor ever found, which have been dated as being some five million years old, were discovered in the Awash Valley in Ethiopia? This beats the discovery of "Lucy", a 3.2 million-year-old skeleton, who was unearthed in the same area in 1974.
Ethiopia's history which culminates in the 1975 revolution poses some very critical issues in Marxist theory, which revolve around the role of feudalism. Ethiopia is one of the few countries in the world that had something resembling an authentic feudal system at the time of what appeared to be an embryonic socialist revolution. Although Trotsky wrote about combined and uneven development in the context of the theory of the permanent revolution, he was writing more about a situation in which feudal and capitalist property relations stood side-by-side. Ethiopia is somewhat different.
Fortunately, the Communist regime in Ethiopia was overthrown in 1991. In 1993 Eritrea became independent. In Ethiopia a new constitution was introduced in 1994 and elections were held in 1995. Today Ethiopia is still an overwhelmingly agricultural country and it is poor but the economy is growing steadily.
The Ethiopian banner was embraced on February 6, 1996. The Ethiopian hues date from the 1890s when powers faithful to the sovereign are accepted to have flown flags of green, yellow and red as they battled against Italian powers. The principal Ethiopian banner using these same hues was received in 1897. The banner of Ethiopia comprises of three equivalent level stripes - the top stripe is green; the center is yellow, and the base stripe is red. Amidst the banner is the nation's ensign on a blue circle.
The colored stripes on the Ethiopian flag are significant - the red stripe stands for power, faith and blood; the yellow symbolizes the church, peace, natural wealth and love; and the green represents the land and hope. The colors were also interpreted to have a connection to the Holy Trinity, and the three main provinces of Ethiopia. The star represents the unity of the people and the races that make up Ethiopia. The five rays on the outside of the star represent prosperity and the blue disk represents peace.
Ethiopia is credited with building up the green, yellow and red hues that have come to symbolize African freedom and solidarity. Ethiopia is the most independent free African state. The hues got to be known as Pan-African hues. In some cases, dark is added to these hues to speak of the African individuals. The Flag Company Inc spent significant time in banner outlines offered an extraordinary release of decals and banners to retain the historical backdrop of Ethiopian Flag for future generations.
