Based on this estimation, the population on the year 2013 would be 4,156,251.

Time in Ethiopia

The time zone in Ethiopia is East Africa Time (EAT). The IANA time zone database identifier is "Africa/Addis Ababa". Some Ethiopians use a 12-hour clock, with one cycle of 1 to 12 from dawn to dusk, and the other cycle from dusk to dawn. Unlike the convention in most countries, the start of the day is dawn, rather than midnight. Thus, 7:00 AM in East Africa Time corresponds to 1:00 in daylight hours in local Ethiopian time.
