Ethiopia

Ethiopia is a country in north-east Africa when the Brotherhood of Nod invaded Sudan to make a prison riot and rescue their comrades, killing two GDI Commanders in charge of those prisons in Kafia-Kingi and Al-Ubayyial.

First Tiberium War
When the Invasion Of Egypt destroyed the GDI forces and overthrew the Egyptian Prime Minister, the Brotherhood of Nod had controlled the Suez Canal as an important lifeline to their trustees in Libya, Egypt and now reaching Sudan. Without the Suez Canal, GDI shipping such as Hovercrafts, Aircraft Carriers and Gunboats can't reach Ethiopia and other countries in north-east Africa with supplies and reinforcements to handle the rivalry tensions against the Brotherhood of Nod.

The Global Defense Initiative said that the Suez Canal is lost and told world leaders including those in Africa to strengthen their forces ready for a fight against Nod. The Ethiopian government had been overthrown by the Brotherhood of Nod and GDI forces in the area were destroyed by the unruly faction which a new Nod government had been put into political assets by Kane during the early days of the First Tiberium War.
