> What kind of "shamans" is Ethiopia supposed to have, anyway? Aren't they a Siberian thing? Ethiopia has one of the most ancient Christian traditions in the world, you know. I agree with some other posters that this whole thing is some kind of a politically correct cringe which somehow tries to compliment Ethiopians for something they have nothing to do with, and only ends up insulting them. And every reader's intelligence, to boot. You are flailing at windmills here. Sure the country has a long history of Christianity; however that part of the world has a long history of overlapping animistic traditions too.
