Politics anyone?

Ethiopia is bordered by the countries Somalia, Eritrea, Sudan, Kenya, and Djibouti. It is in the area called the “horn of Africa”. As far as I am aware, the political scene in Ethiopia is fairly stable, however, we have all heard the names of several of the countries surrounding Ethiopia countless times in the news lately as being in pretty serious political turmoil. It is entirely possible that instability in surrounding areas could impact our adoption. As we are waiting for our last few pieces of paper for our dossier I think I will dig into the history and political scene of the area and hopefully give you a synopsis of what is going on in that part of the world. History and politics definitely are NOT my strong point so this could be interesting...
