Ethiopia imeelea ndani ya habari za kimataifa  wiki hizi mbili.

Jumapili iliyopita wanawake watatu  wa Kihabeshi  walishinda  mbio za Marathon hapa London. Zilishirikisha wakimbiaji 38,000, wengi  wananchi wa kawaida ( wasio  wanariadha wa kulipwa);  mataifa mbalimbali. Baada ya ushindi “ wanariadha hawa wenye fahari” walipeperusha bendera rangi kijani, manjano na nyekundu. Bendera hii ya Ethiopia iliyosanifiwa mwaka 1897  imekuwa  kielelezo maarufu cha Umoja wa Waafrika na watu weusi duniani zaidi ya miaka mia moja sasa.  Wekundu ni nguvu na imani, kijani ardhi na manjano, kanisa. Tufasili hili kifupi.
