Aden to Bermuda and beyond - Part 8

Part 8. We're nearly done. Hang on.

The flag of Sierra Leone ('Lion Mountains') doesn't have a lion on it. That seems like a bit of an oversight.

But - again - there's no time to fret about it, because this is another easy one:

That's from page 953 of the 1967 World Television Factbook. And, again, TTI and TIE are both present and correct.

Part 9 awaits.

Aden to Bermuda and beyond - Part 7

Part 7, being the Seventh Part, in which Ethiopia is briefly discussed, and a splash of colour is introduced.

The Ethiopian flag, from 1941 to 1975. I'm not sure the lion is actually running away from home, if you look closely. It only seems that way from a distance. 

Sit nearer your screen, and it'll be fine. You won't have to worry about how he'll manage, whether he'll fall in with a bad crowd, how worried his parents will be - none of that. 

And you won't have time, because this is an easy one, and will not detain us long. 

Here is the entry for Ethiopia on page 942 of the 1967 World Television Factbook:

And there's also this, from African Media Development Initiative: Ethiopia Context, a report by the BBC World Service Trust:

So: TTI and TIE played together nicely in Ethiopia. Now, quick - head for Part 8!

Alternatively, if you'd rather dawdle around and find out whether Ethiopian TV is really all that bad, you can find some here:
