In a brief summery highlighting the history of Ethiopia yesterday prior to the football match, the paper described Ethiopia as a deeply-rooted country which contributed to the making of Africa's history, mainly in the religious sphere.

 Though a Christian country, Ethiopia contains several religion including Islam.  In fact, Ethiopia's Christians are linked with Muslims as it was the first country to which early Muslims immigrated before they settled in Madina.  When sanctioned and oppressed by the Quraish infidels, Prophet Mohammed ordered his fellows to move to Habasha - Ethiopia - which was as described by the prophet, ruled by a fair king who never abuses his nation, meaning king Nagashi.
