"The emergence of Ethiopia from her centuries of self-imposed and self-enforced isolation was itself a sharp break with the concept that physical separation was essential to the nation's precious independence. Only isolation, it was believed, could guarantee security from the repeated invasion mounted against Ethiopia by those who would despoil her land and rob her people. The nation's solitude had thus to be jealously preserved and maintained.
"Today how far we have come; each year, Ethiopia plays host to increasing thousands of foreign visitors who travel to our land to view the people in their way of life. No longer uncertain of Our ability to protect Our vital interest, no longer questioning whether Our strength is indeed sufficient to protect Us against the exploiter, Ethiopia today welcomes all who seek entry at her frontiers, and we see the technology and expertise which others can bring to Our development."
Haile Selassie I
His Majesty the Father of Africa tells InI that we must welcome anyone who seeks entry at Our Fronteirs(Ethiopia), to enter...Plain & Simple we cannot shut down Africa.
