Social: Ethiopia is one of the most populous countries in Africa. Due to strong growth, the population has more than doubled in 30 years despite the wars and famine.

The average population density (2017) is 95 residents / km ². Despite government resettlement programs, the majority of the population lives in small villages in the Woina Dega. The country’s only metropolis, Addis Ababa, is also located here. Overall, only (2018) 21% of the population live in cities. Many Ethiopians have left their country and live abroad. On the other hand, according to the UNHCR, 1.97 million migrants were staying in Ethiopia at the end of 2017, of which 889 400 were registered refugees.

Religion

The constitution guarantees freedom of religion and follows the principle of the separation of state and religion. The dominant religions are Christianity (Christians predominantly of Ethiopian Orthodox denomination) and Islam (Sunnis from the Hanefi, Maliki and Shafiite schools of law). Traditional African religions are (still) assigned a maximum of 3% of the population.

Around 44% of the population belong to the Orthodox Ethiopian Church (state church until 1974), around 19% to Protestant churches (especially Lutherans, Pentecostals, Baptists), around 0.7% to the Catholic Church (including the Uniate Ethiopian Christians). The Protestant denominations are growing steadily; one of the largest among them is the Lutheran Mekane Yesus Church.

Since the legal equality of all religions after the overthrow of Emperor Haile Selassie (1974), Islam has been the strongest growing religion, whose mission is mainly carried by Sufi orders. Most of the followers of traditional African religions live in the south-west of the country.

Small groups of the so-called “black Jews” (Falascha) who once lived north of Lake Tana and in Addis Ababa are still scattered around in Ethiopia.

Climate

The considerable climatic differences within Ethiopia are primarily due to the altitude. Annual precipitation generally increases with altitude, but regardless of this, it has higher values ​​in the lower south of the mountains than in the north and east (below 600 mm, Godjam and Wollo more than 1,600 mm, Kaffahochland more than 2,000 mm). The precipitation falls mainly in the great rainy season (Keremt) in summer. Most of the Afar Basin and the south-east of the country are markedly dry.
