Claim
Ethiopia 110 million
Correction
This population figure is far too low. UN Data lists Ethiopia's 2025 population at 135.472 million, not 110 million.
Full reasoning
UN Data's country profile for Ethiopia gives a 2025 population of 135,472,000. That is more than 25 million higher than the post's figure of 110 million, so the claim materially understates Ethiopia's current population.
Because the post says "Today" and was published in 2025, a current official estimate is the relevant benchmark here. On that benchmark, Ethiopia is not a 110-million country.
