Recently, I watched a talk show and it was about asking foreign residents in Ethiopia about the problem in Ethiopia and one of them who has been interviewed was a man from Cameroon. He said, he is very annoyed being called " African " in Ethiopia.


But then am confused why he is mad. . .

Cameroon is in Africa, so what is the matter??

Then he said he is dissaponted that Ethiopians call themselves Ethiopian. . .if I went out of my country and if people ask me where am from, honestly I would say that am from Ethiopia. . .And this dissapoints many OTHER Africans.

Ethiopia is in Africa, and I don't see any reason why this is a mistake. I needn't mention that am from Africa because my face tells the story. It does not mean I have no respect for Africa, I do care for my continent and who I really am.



This is not my first time hearing OTHER African nation become disappointed at us for this reason I just want a clear definition why this is disappointing and if there is anyone here who have experienced the same thing..
