Die Demokratische Bundesrepublik Äthiopien liegt am Horn von Afrika und grenzt an Eritrea, Kenia, Somalia, Sudan und Südsudan sowie an Dschibuti. Äthiopien ist das älteste unabhängige Land Afrikas und war nie kolonialisiert, mit Ausnahme einer Zeit, als es von Mussolinis Italien besetzt war, von 1936 bis 1941.
Die Bevölkerung des Landes beträgt etwa 93 Millionen. Die Regierung ist eine föderale Republik mit einem Präsidenten als Staatsoberhaupt und einem Premierminister als Regierungschef. Es werden neunzig Sprachen gesprochen, und alle Sprachen sind vom Staat gleichermaßen anerkannt. Englisch ist die Hauptfremdsprache, die in den Schulen gelehrt wird.
Das Land wurde von Hungersnöten, Dürre, Krieg und Flüchtlingsproblemen geplagt.
Hungersnöte und Dürre führten zu einem Grenzkrieg mit Eritrea, das 1993 seine Unabhängigkeit von Äthiopien erlangte. Aufgrund der unzureichenden Grenzziehung kam es in den späten 1990er Jahren zu einem umfassenden und verheerenden Krieg. Äthiopien erkennt die Grenzen immer noch nicht an und Truppen halten das Gebiet immer noch besetzt. Das Land beginnt sich zu erholen und hatte in den letzten Jahren ein schnelles Wirtschaftswachstum, obwohl es nach wie vor einer der ärmsten Staaten Afrikas ist.
Aufgrund der unsicheren persönlichen Sicherheitslage empfehlen einige Länder, Reisen in die Grenzgebiete zu Kenia, Somalia (einschließlich der Ogaden-Region), Sudan und Südsudan (einschließlich der Gambella-Region) und Eritrea (einschließlich der Danakil-Wüste) zu vermeiden.

コレラワクチン
The U.K. NaTHNaC recommends the oral cholera vaccine for some travellers whose activities or medical history put them at increased risk, travelling to areas of active cholera transmission. These risk factors include: aid workers; those going to areas of cholera outbreaks who have limited access to potable water and medical care; travellers for whom the vaccination would be considered potentially beneficial, such as chronic medical conditions. The U.S. CDC recommends the cholera vaccine for travellers who are 18-64 years of age and who plan to travel to areas of active cholera transmission. CDC notes that most travellers do not travel to areas of active cholera transmission, and that safe food and water practices can prevent many cholera infections.

個人の安全性
The crime level is moderate overall, although violent attacks against foreigners have been reported, including areas near hotels and Bole Road. Petty crime is common in crowded areas, particularly by groups of children. Displaying expensive jewelry, clothing, etc., will make you a target for theft.
Pay careful attention to personal security on days leading up to special events, special national or religious days, or international meetings.
If driving, keep doors locked and windows up, and keep valuables out of sight as there have been reports of carjacking and banditry on roads and highways. Traffic can be unpredictable and drivers often do not follow the rules of the road. Traffic accidents are frequent. It is not advisable to travel to Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, and Sudan over land due to landmines and the risk of armed robbery and carjacking. Avoid taking public transportation as it is often overcrowded and unsafe.
Possession of illicit drugs is illegal, except for khat. It is also illegal to own ivory (including ivory jewelry).
Same-sex sexual activity or relationships are illegal in Ethiopia.
Travellers should take note of whether they will be travelling during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

It is illegal to photograph government buildings, military or police installations, or any industrial area or infrastructure, such as roads or bridges, etc.
Frequent power outages, fuel shortages, and poor cellular coverage may present risks to the traveller.
Time conventions in Ethiopia differ from most countries in the world. The start of the day is at dawn, not midnight.
