Al-Nejashi Mosque, Negash, Tigrai region: Ethiopia

The historically significant mosque, Al-Nejashi Mosque in Negash, Ethiopia, is built
in the town of the famous King Nejashi, who gave asylum to the early followers of Islam
when they were being perescuted in Makkah.

The kind King Nejashi resisted the attempts of the Quraysh, who tried in vain
to have the Muslims deported to Makkah, and instead gave them
security and a homeland in Ethiopia.

The old medieval walled city of Harar
A city of mosques, minarets, and markets, a center of Muslim learning, a city which once struck its own local currency, and still has its own unique language has long been regarded by the outside world as a city of mystery and romance. Situated on a high escarpment overlooking surrounding plains, which extend as far as the eye can reach, it enjoys a balmy climate and a fascinating history.
Its a blessing to share your values without making a religion an issue of dissagreement. You can learn this from Ethiopians.

It is unfortunate that most aid agencies do the opposite, talk the country down, and emphasise the negative, since their bread and butter depends on creating and perpetuating these types of images.
