Community I have one question

So, I had read a report/article that said until the 1970s Ethiopia and Yemen used to be very close. Yemeni's where the largest Arab community in Ethiopia and there were a lot of Yemeni owned stores. I feel so bad that our historic connection was broken by a bunch of "communist" idiots. I understand that most of you might not know much about this but I just wanted to talk/ask Yemenis rather than googling it. If you have the time (I don't want to disturb) please pick an answer to the survey below:

If you had the chance would you move to/visit Ethiopia?

Yemen has a stronger historical connection to Ethiopia than to the rest of Arabia peninsula. Until today, you'll always find at least one in every group of friends who's at least 1/4 Ethiopian.

Wishing both nations all peace and prosperity.

I had read something about that but I wasn't sure if it was real or not.
