The 19th CID from the Mercator Country Information Day series and the last for 2005 took place on November 24th, 2005. The Ethiopians, backed by strong international support among the participants, staged a performance both entertaining and educative. Along with the already traditional crash course in the Ethiopian language and writing, this CID included a very well received fashion-review of national Ethiopian clothes. Dressed in the very same national attire, the Ethiopians also presented their famous group dancing, being awarded with a lot of applause from the audience. The night concluded with the Ethiopians serving some of their finest national food.
