Ethiopia.

The Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia is a landlocked country located in East Africa, occupying most of the area known as the Horn of Africa. The country is home to ancient and unique culture. Some of the oldest discovered hominid fossils have been found there. The source of the Blue Nile River is in Ethiopia. It is one of the only African nations to have escaped European colonization, except for a brief Italian occupation from 1936 to 1941. In recent decades, Ethiopia has struggled with drought, famine, and extreme poverty.
