Overall, approximately 20,000 people from Ethiopia moved to the West to achieve higher education and conduct diplomatic missions from 1941 to 1974 under the Emperor Haile Selassie I's rule. However, the net movement of permanent immigrants remained low during this period as most temporary immigrants ultimately returned to Ethiopia.〔 The passing of the 1965 Immigration Act, the Refugee Act of 1980, as well as the Diversity Visa Program of the Immigration Act of 1990, contributed to an increased emigration from Ethiopia to the United States, prompted by a desire to pursue studies abroad and political unrest during the Ethiopian Civil War and Eritrean War of Independence. The majority of Eritrean immigrants arrived later in the 1990s, following the Eritrean–Ethiopian War.〔 By 2000, the Eritrean community in the U.S. had grown to around 30,000 members.〔 Eritrean Americans have since established ethnic enclaves in various places around the country, particularly in the Washington D.C. area. Fairfax Avenue in Los Angeles, California has come to be known as Little Ethiopia, owing to its many Ethiopian and Eritrean businesses and restaurants. Additionally, Eritreans have opened a number of garages and auto repair shops.〔 They also run several taxi establishments, including the Eritrean Cab company based in San Diego.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.beachcalifornia.com/trca/transportation-services/san-diego/1-eritrean-cab-619-229-9600.html )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eritrean Americans」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
