Ethiopia’s history and culture was hidden for centuries from the outside world due to different factors and has not been known as it deserves. One of the factors is the fact that Ethiopia was largely isolated following the decline of the Axum (Aksum) civilization around 700 A.D. Unlike most ancient civilizations, the history of Axum is not widely known in the mainstream and some historians are surprised when they somehow learn about it, wondering why it was not part of their university studies. Ethiopia has a rich history of at least three thousand years. Its prehistory, the Axum civilization and the last one thousand and three hundred years of its history are fascinating. Today, thanks to the internet, Ethiopian history and culture is increasingly being known, overcoming past prejudices and biases. This is good not only for Ethiopia, but also for many who are interested in history, culture and religion. It is especially good for Ethiopian history because, as seen in Youtube videos and online articles, it helps in the systematic exploration and documentation of Ethiopian history by genuine historians and enthusiasts around the world. Many people, however, still remain unaware of Ethiopia’s history. This note aims to help interested readers discover and explore Ethiopian history and culture for themselves. It also examines the prolonged violence that has unfolded in Ethiopia over the past four decades against the Amhara people, which many scholars and observers have long identified as a genocide.

The paper presents a simple and fair method to proportionally allocate presidential electors from each state, in a transparent and reproducible manner, based solely on mathematical considerations. States are free to adopt this method for allocating their electors on their own, and citizen led movements can organize to create ballot initiatives for its adoption in their states to force it. Its adoption will create a host of benefits to voters and the country, resulting in more fair and democratic electoral outcomes.
