Ethiopia is a multilingual nation, with around 80 ethno-linguistic groups, the four largest of which are the Oromo, Amhara, Somali and Tigrayans. Most people in the country speak Afroasiatic languages of the Cushitic or Semitic branches. Economy: According to the IMF, Ethiopia was one of the fastest growing economies in the world, registering over 10% economic growth from 2004 through 2009. It was the fastest-growing non-oil-dependent African economy in the years 2007 and 2008. In 2015, the World Bank highlighted that Ethiopia had witnessed rapid economic growth with real domestic product (GDP) growth averaging 10.9% between 2004 and 2014. Health: The World Health Organization’s 2006 World Health Report gives a figure of 1,936 physicians for 2003,which comes to about 2.6 per 100,000. A brain drain associated with globalisation is said to affect the country, with many educated professionals leaving Ethiopia for better economic opportunities in the West. Why Ethiopians Relocate to the Diaspora Ethiopia is one of the poorest countries in the world and in 2005 had an emigration rate of 0.6 percent, which is low in comparison to Africa as a whole. Ethiopia faces complex challenges of food insecurity, overpopulation, drought, political instability, and ethnic conflict. In addition to these issues, Ethiopia faces large challenges with respect to migration flows. From the 1980s onward, the Horn of Africa, which consists of Eritrea, Sudan, Djibouti, Somalia, and Ethiopia, became the largest refugee-producing area in the world, with Ethiopia being the largest contributor to the refugee flows (Bariagaber, 1999). As a consequence, Ethiopia became internationally known for its refugee crisis, including problems of managing refugee flows and the issue of repatriation. Today the number of Ethiopians seeking refuge in other countries has drastically decreased For Ethiopians worldwide, the process and legal requirements for body repatriation may seem a complicated process, coupled with the high flight costs for transporting a dead body. Repatriated bodies are received at the Bole International Airport. Cost of repatriating a dead body to Ethiopia The cost can vary from one funeral director to another depending on where the body remains are. For example the average cost of repatriating a body from the UK to Ethiopia averages £4000. The cost is much higher when repatriating to Ethiopia from the USA.

According to Aaron Matteo Terrazas, "if the descendants of Ethiopian-born migrants (the second generation and up) are included, the estimates range upwards of 460,000 in the United States (of which approximately 350,000 are in the Washington, DC Metropolitan Area; 96,000 in Los Angeles; and 10,000 in New York)." A large Ethiopian community is also found in Israel, where Ethiopians make up almost 1.9% of the population; almost the entire community are members of the Beta Israel community. There are also large number of Ethiopian emigrants in Saudi Arabia, Italy, Lebanon, United Kingdom, Canada, Sweden and Australia.
