Introduction
Ethiopia, a sleeping giant in the world of tourism, holds the history of one of the oldest countries in the world. Located in the heart of East Africa, in the Horn of Africa, it, like Liberia, escaped complete colonization, preserving its identity and pristine appearance, like an unpolished diamond. Ancient traditions and a unique atmosphere have been preserved in its depths, which awaiting discovery. Ethiopia is an island of identity, whose history goes back to the most ancient times, when the first civilization was born on the planet. The only country on the continent that was able to maintain its independence during the era of colonial conquest, Ethiopia has preserved not only the legacy of ancient Christianity and its unique alphabet, but also its own chronological system, different from all others. In Ethiopia, where coffee originated, there are amazing contrasts: the majestic highlands of the Abyssinian Highlands stand side by side with the fantastic landscapes of Danakil, as if transporting us to another planet. The ancient heritage of the Aksumite kingdom is intertwined with the modern dynamics of Addis Ababa, which is the diplomatic center of Africa. This country is full of surprises, where the emerald peaks of the highlands are replaced by other equally spectacular landscapes of Danakil, and traditional rituals continue to live on in everyday life.

On Wednesday evening, April 1, 2026, President Trump addressed the nation from the White House to provide a major update on the military conflict known as Operation Epic Fury.

He told the American people that the U.S. military has been incredibly successful, claiming that Iran’s navy and missile programs have been almost entirely destroyed.
