Ethiopia copied our Star and put it on their flag

[Hubble]

The star on their flag was created in 1996 and it's a poor copy of the star we had on our banknotes and across the country to represent unity and colonial division. The adopted a very close copy to symbolise unity.

Prior to 1996 (and to some extent even today) the 'plain' flag was commonly seen across the nation and the world. Previously, especially during the Derg regime, a number of different emblems were experimented with. However, the basic colour schematic has remained constant. Even the oppressive Derg did not dare to tamper with the colours' layout, but simply removed and changed the imperial emblem after Haile Selassie's overthrow. An alternative emblem featuring a five pointed star and rays over a cogwheel surrounded by a wreath of leaves is now the featured emblem.

Compare their emblem

With our emblem, seen here on our money. Notice how their gold sticks are the exact number of the lines of a Pentagon? It's like they took apart our Pentagon and made it stab our star.

Those bastards want to incorporate their country into Somalia. Look at it this way, a landlocked country with no port access, a population of 99 million. Next door, a country with the longest coastline in Africa, a population of 10 million (in war). It's like giving a plate full of food to a hungry person, and telling them not to eat it.

They know that won't happen, they can loan our ports and be our cash cows.
