| | *The independence of Ethiopia was interrupted by the Second Italo-Ethiopian War, beginning when it was invaded by Fascist Italy in early October 1935, and '''Italian occupation of the country (1936–1941)'''. Ethiopia had over 75,000 '''Italian settlers''' during the Italian occupation of the country. After independence, many Italians remained for decades after receiving full pardons from Emperor Selassie, as he saw the opportunity to continue modernization efforts. However, due to the Ethiopian Civil War in 1974, nearly 22,000 Italo-Ethiopians left the country. |
| | *In the 2000s, some Italian companies returned to operate in Ethiopia, and many Italian technicians and managers arrived with their families, residing mainly in the metropolitan area of the capital. |
| | *In 2009, Ethiopia hosted a population of refugees and asylum seekers numbering approximately 135,200. The majority of this population came from '''Somalia''' (approximately 64,300 persons), '''Eritrea''' (41,700) and '''Sudan''' (25,900). The Ethiopian government required nearly all refugees to live in refugee camps.<ref>"Ethiopia: Demographics", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethiopia#Demographics, accessed 8 July 2021.</ref> |
