Allah curses them for imprisoning the sons of Somal inside of their nacalad "Nation"

Plus they don't have an ocean and have to fight against two of the most well-armed nations in the world.

Communists took over and famined that shit like '33.

Is this guy back in the new civ game? Having a nation deliberatley limit itself to gain advantages was a cool concept and i hope it returns.

Iraq is a shithole,afghanistan is a shithole
Ethiopia is just irrelevant

It's been a shithole since the 16th century. Fucking Gragn ruined everything.

It's not a state at all but a Hodge podge of feuding clans. There is only a "somali government" because the rest of the world can't stand dealing with a large number of disputing emissaries from an insignificant land, so it recognizes one regime as official and all others as paramilitary, pirates, warlords, etc.

In 1958, Ethiopia had a famine that took 100,000 lives. Before they were able to recover from it, they had another famine in 1966. Then another famine in 1973, and then a drought resulting in a famine in 1983 to 1985.

Commies. Without commies would probably be at least Egypt tier.

>and they all hate muslims

The majority of Ethiopia are muslims though.

A third is not a majority, especially when almost half of the population is Orthodox Christian.

Intertribal disputes. Places like Egypt have been unified since Pharaoh times, but Ethiopia never really was more than a confederation of tribes before recently.

Both. Ethiopian nobles fought tooth and nail against Sellassies attempts at land reform and modernization because "Muh Noble privileges". Then the Derg comes in and fucks everything up, turning the slowely improving country into a commie shithole. Ethiopia went from a net exporter of food to one of the worlds biggest importers.
