Overview <p>Ethiopia is Africa&#039;s oldest independent country and its second largest in terms of population. Apart from a five-year occupation by Mussolini&#039;s Italy, it has never been colonised. </p> <p>It has a unique cultural heritage, being the home of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church - one of the oldest Christian churches - and a monarchy that ended only in the coup of 1974. </p> <p>It served as a symbol of African independence throughout the colonial period, and was a founder member of the United Nations and the African base for many international organisations.</p><br> <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-13349398">Full Article</a> <p>Venezuela has some of the world&#039;s largest proven oil deposits as well as huge quantities of coal, iron ore, bauxite and gold.</p> <p>Yet most Venezuelans live in poverty, many of them in shanty towns, some of which sprawl over the hillsides around the capital, Caracas.</p> <p>Venezuela&#039;s economic fortunes are tied to world oil prices. A 1970s boom largely benefited the middle classes, but a subsequent price collapse condemned many of this class to poverty while eroding the living standards of the already impoverished. </p><br> <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-19649648">Full Article</a>
