"Ethiopia's Time Warp: Living in 2016"
Ethiopia currently follows a unique calendar system that places them in the year 2016. Unlike the Gregorian calendar used by most countries, Ethiopia uses a calendar with 13 months, each consisting of 30 days, followed by a final month of five or six days. The Ethiopian calendar is based on the birth of Jesus and has not adopted the revised calculations made by the Catholic Church in 500 CE. As a result, Ethiopia's new year falls on September 11 in the Gregorian calendar, and the country has not experienced events like Brexit.
