As Head of State, the prime mover and the driving force in this drama, the public utterances of His Imperial Majesty are, in many respects, a mirror of these activities and or the events that determine the course and tempo of Ethiopia’s development. On the 75th Anniversary of his birth, it seems proper and fitting to record some of the most important of these utterances made on the many occasions that merited public statements from His Majesty the Emperor during his lengthy, brilliant and devoted service to his country and people. It is impossible to include all of the Emperor’s pronounce- ments in one volume. It is hoped, however, that through those reproduced herein, the reader will get a fair picture of His Majesty’s thoughts and ideas that have provided the centrifugal force of his thirty-seven years as Head of State and of the preceding years of, his early appearance on the scene as national leader of Ethiopia. These speeches, some of them excerpted, in the variety of occasions for which they were intended, as well as in the many subjects on which they deal, portray the breadth of the Em- peror’s vision. They detail the persistence, the determination and the unflagging drive with which he pursued the application of “modern Ethiopianism” to which history cannot fail to testify.

    Scouting: Training the “New Man” in Post-liberation Ethiopia Katrin Bromber1 ABSTRACTS Obgleich in Äthiopien Pfadfindereinheiten bereits 1919 entstanden, gewann die Bewegung erst nach dem Ende der italienischen Okkupation (1935–1941) an Bedeutung. Die Eingliede- rung der Pfadfinderorganisation in die Abteilung für Sporterziehung im Ministerium für Bildung und Kunst demonstriert seine Position als Teil des staatlichen Schulwesens. In diesem Zusam- menhang lassen sich Wandern und Camping als spezielle Praxen untersuchen, mit denen die Pfadfinder (nationales) Territorium körperlich erfahren und mit Techniken des Überlebens und Führens verbinden konnten. In diesem Zusammenhang organisierte Begegnungen der Scouts mit hochrangigen Vertretern von Militär, Polizei und Regierung zeigen, dass der „Neue Mensch“ wesentlich über eine demographisch verstandene Kategorie „Jugend“ hinausgeht. Although Boy Scouting emerged in Ethiopia as early as 1919, it was after the end of the Italian occupation (1935–41) that the movement gained momentum as an important part of youth training. The re-organization of the Boy Scouts under the Ministry of Education and Fine Arts as well as its coupling with Sports and Physical Education hints at the fact that Boy Scouting and, later, Girl Guiding were considered an integral part of education. The article looks at hiking and camping as a specific practice to link the youth to the (national) soil, to train survival and to instil leadership. It further shows that the “New Man” is not restricted to the demographic category of youth, but can include Ethiopian officials up to the highest ranks as well as local and foreign experts who re-organized the movement in Ethiopia. 1 This article is the result of an ongoing research project, “Progressive Citizen Bodies: Sports and Modernity in Ethiopia 1920–1974,” at Leibniz-Zentrum Moderner Orient, Berlin.

    Yeweinshet Beshah-Woured Citation: Beshah-Woured, Yeweinshet, 2010, Testimony. Interview conducted by Roman Herzog April 18th 2010, http://www.campifascisti.it/file/media/Testimony%20Yeweinshet%20Beshah-Woured.pdf Name: Yeweinshet Surname: Beshah-Woured Place and date of birth: Addis Abeba, 1931 Nationality: Ethiopian Gender: f Recording quality: (48 kHz., Stereo) Date of imprisonment: after Yekatit 12, 20th February 1937 Camps of imprisonment: Dejazmach Latibalu Residence, Addis Abeba, Ethiopia: 20 February 1937 Asmara, Eritrea: end of February/beginning of March 1937 Massawa, Eritrea: end of February/beginning of March 1937 Asinara (SS), Italy: March 1937 - 1938 Clinica italiana delle malattie tropicali, Rome (RM), Italy 1938 - 1938 Tivoli (RM), Italia fine 1938 - 1939 Addis Abeba, Ethiopia 1939 – April 5th 1941 Mayor topics and particularities of the interview (Summary) Yeweinshet Beshah-Woured was six years old when she has been deported to Italy together with her mother and a brother, after her father had been shot by the Italians. She is part of the almost 400 members of the old Ethiopian aristocracy, which after the attempted bombing of Graziani on February 19th 1937 has been deported to Italy. She remembers the episode from the eyes of a child and also in the reflection of her life after deportation, separating both levels of memory clearly. From the interview emerges that conditions of deportation and imprisonment have been quite roughly and hard for the majority of the Ethiopians, whereas few members of the high elite (Rases and their families), among them for luck Yeweinshets family, even if considered enemies by the Italian authorities, were confined but lived in comfortable conditions.
