Information: - A landlocked state or landlocked country is a sovereign state entirely enclosed by land, or whose only coastlines lie on closed seas. There are currently 48 such countries, including four partially recognised states. Only two, Bolivia and Paraguay in South America, lie outside Afro-Eurasia (the Old World). - Sudan ("as-Sdn", ), also known as North Sudan and officially the Republic of the Sudan ("Jumhriyyat as-Sdn"), is a country in Northern Africa. It is bordered by Egypt to the north, the Red Sea, Eritrea, and Ethiopia to the east, South Sudan to the south, the Central African Republic to the southwest, Chad to the west and Libya to the northwest. It is the third largest country in Africa. The River Nile divides the country into eastern and western halves. Before the Sudanese Civil War, South Sudan was part of Sudan but broke away in 2011.

Its members claim patrilineal descent from King Solomon of Israel and the Queen of Sheba. Tradition asserts that the Queen gave birth to Menelik I after her biblically described visit to Solomon in Jerusalem. - Addis Ababa (' , "new flower" "Natural Spring(s)") or Addis Abeba (the spelling used by the official Ethiopian Mapping Authority), is the capital and largest city of Ethiopia. It has a population of 3,384,569 according to the 2007 population census, with annual growth rate of 3.8%. This number has been increased from the originally published 2,738,248 figure and appears to be still largely underestimated. - Negassie or Negasi Krestos was the ruling prince of Shewa (reigned c. 1682 - c. 1703), an important Amhara noble of Ethiopia. Although the official account is that his father Lesba Qal (lord of Agancha, in Menz) was a male-line great-grandson of Prince Yaqob, son of Emperor Lebna Dengel, and thus descended in male line from the Solomonic dynasty (this version, told by Serta Wold, a councilor of Sahle Selassie, has been criticized as a later fabrication of genealogy, in order to help the imperial designs of his heirs two centuries later), other versions are known of his ancestry. Abir records two other traditions collected in the 1840s: one is that his mother, Senebeit, was a woman of imperial descent and his father a rich landowner from Menz; another is that Senebeit was the daughter of one Ras Faris, "who with many other followers of Emperor Susenyos escaped into Menz." - Sebestyanos ( reigned c. 1703 - c. 1718 ) was a ruler of Shewa , an important Amhara noble of Ethiopia . He was one of the sons of Negasi Krestos . Abir states that he ruled for 15 years , although noting that Harris claims he ruled for 25 years , and d'Hericourt 33 . According to Donald Levine , Sebestyanos ' father , Negasi Krestos , proclaimed in his will that his oldest son Akawa would inherit his '' throne '' . Sebestyanos would receive his spear , silver cutlass , and gilded shield . Land and money would go to his other five sons . However , drought and famine afflicted Shewa : the nobility deposed Akawa in favor of his younger son Dana . Dreading the fighting that he knew would follow , Sebestyanos fled Menz to the safety of Merhabete , where he served the governor . Meanwhile , his relatives grew dissatisfied with his brother Dana , and successfully lured Sebestyanos back to Menz , where his victories over the neighboring Oromo inevitably led him to fight his brother . He defeated Dana and proclaimed himself ruler of Menz . Pankhurst states that during his reign Shewa clearly expanded its boundaries at the expense of their Oromo rivals . As a result , he founded a number of towns , including Doqaqit , ' Ayne , and Eyabar . Although his father Negasi Krestos failed to gain the grant of the title of Meridazmach from Emperor Iyasus I , Sebestyanos assumed the title . He continued the conquests of his father in upper Yifat . According to Levine , Sebestyanos died '' by a curious accident '' . His son Qedami Qal had been rebuilding some of the churches that had been destroyed by Ahmad Gragn , one of which was in Doqaqit dedicated to St. Michael . Part of the ceremony required the tabot in the church in ' Ayne , where his father was living , and it was secretly removed to Doqaqit . Sebestyanos understood this as an act of rebellion , and set forth to capture and discipline his son ; however , in the ensuing battle one of Qedami Qal 's servants accidentally killed the Meridazmach . - A country is a region that is identified as a distinct national entity in political geography. A country may be an independent sovereign state or one that is occupied by another state, as a non-sovereign or formerly sovereign political division, or a geographic region associated with sets of previously independent or differently associated people with distinct political characteristics. Regardless of the physical geography, in the modern internationally accepted legal definition as defined by the League of Nations in 1937 and reaffirmed by the United Nations in 1945, a resident of a country is subject to the independent exercise of legal jurisdiction. - Ethiopia ('), officially known as the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia"' ( , "yetiyoya Fdralaw Dmokirasyaw Rpebilk" ), is a country located in the Horn of Africa.
