    E I N F Ü H R E N D E G E D A N K E N Z U M W I D E R S T A N D „They have learned that resistance is actually possible. The holds are beginning to slip away.” -George Jackson (Afro-amerikanischer Bürgerrechtsaktivist) Der äthiopische Widerstand symbolisiert genau diesen erlernten Widerstandswillen der äthiopischen Bevölkerung, die sich nicht von der italienischen Übermacht beeindrucken lassen hat. Trotz militärischer Niederlagen früh im zweiten äthiopisch-italienischen Krieg und dem Übergang von einer konventionellen Kriegsführung zu einem Guerillakrieg, bestand der äthiopische Widerstand fort. Obwohl das äthiopische Streben nach Freiheit von Anfang an anwesend war, erlaubte ihnen ihr unorganisierter und aggressiver Widerstand nicht den Krieg zu gewinnen. Ohne Plan und Strategie haben sie sich in den Krieg gestürzt, auf sich alleine gestellt, hoffend, dass sie gewinnen. Den aktiven Widerstand nie in Frage stellend, war ihr einziges Ziel, die italienischen Invasoren umzubringen und aus ihrem Land zu verjagen. Obgleich die Mehrheit Widerstand geleistet hat, gab es einige, die sich nicht am Widerstand beteiligt haben. Zu dieser Zeit waren Frauen in Äthiopien im Alltag den Männern unterlegen, im Krieg aber fanden sie ihre Rolle und halfen durch andere Methoden mit - beispielsweise Shewareged Gedle, die als Informantin agierte, oder Senedu Gebru, die Mitglied der Black Lions war.. Auch die Religion spielte eine große Rolle im äthiopischen Widerstand (Orthodoxe Kirche). Sie haben den Widerstand finanziell unterstützt, manchmal haben sie sogar selbst mitkämpft. Dies war ein Grund, warum auch Priester in Äthiopien zu Zielen der italienischen Vergeltungsaktionen wurden. Der Mythos, dass Äthiopien nie kolonialisiert wurde, ist allgemein bekannt in anderen Ländern, doch in der Realität war Äthiopien fünf Jahre lang von Italien besetzt.

Just as America’s civil and governmental forces came together during the imperial tours, in 1954 and 1975 respectively, to strongly promote Cold War ideological narratives to a global audience, African American and Japanese American racial and ethnic groups within the United States created their own interpretations of the tours.

  • Revisiting Resistance in Italian-Occupied Ethiopia: the Patriots’ Movement (1936-1941) and the Redefinition of Post-War Ethiopia
    4 Revisiting resistance in Italian-occupied Ethiopia: The Patriots’ Movement (1936-1941) and the redefinition of post-war Ethiopia Aregawi Berhe During the Italian occupation of Ethiopia, a significant indigenous resistance movement, the Patriots Movement, emerged. The nature and impact of this resistance is reconsidered by highlighting aspects of its role in ‘redefining Ethiopia’, its internal policy and its position in the global community after the start of the Second World War. The resistance movement was based on the ideals of restoring national independence and preserving cultural identity. There is also discussion of the reasons for the abrupt end to the resistance – mainly due to an external intervening factor (the British army) and the defeat of Italy – which prevented the challenge posed by the resistance movement and its incipient ideas of political reform being taken up seriously by the post-war imperial regime. Introduction In 1935, Ethiopia, until that time a traditional polity with a predominantly feudal political system, was invaded by the industrialized nation of Italy under the Fascist regime of Benito Mussolini. In defiance of the ensuing occupation, Ethiopians became involved in a multi-dimensional ‘patriotic resistance’ to drive the invaders out of their country, fighting against many odds, including indifference from the League of Nations and the West. It lasted for five years, The author wishes to express his gratitude to Professor J. Abbink for his advice and comments on this chapter. 88 Aregawi while the Ethiopian Emperor, Haile Selassie, was engaged in a largely fruitless diplomatic struggle from exile. This chapter explains the resistance that was launched to counter the Italian occupation in Ethiopia, reconsiders the nature and impact of the resistance, and highlights aspects that ‘redefined Ethiopia’, its internal policy and its position in the global community following the beginning of the Second World War.

ETHIOPIA’S SOVEREIGN RIGHT OF ACCESS TO THE SEA UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW by ABEBE TEKLEHAIMANOT KAHSAY Under the direction of Daniel Bodansky ABSTRACT Since Eritrea’s secession from Ethiopia there has been continuous opposition by intellectuals and the opposition to the government’s policy of making Ethiopia a landlocked country. Some totally reject the secession, while others accept the independence as a “fait accompli” and voice concern over the lack of an outlet to the sea, and still others acknowledge the right of self-determination and secession of Eritrea but denounce the inconsistency of the application of the Transitional Charter regarding the Red Sea Afar and the Algiers Agreement for denying Ethiopia its legitimate right to access to the sea and allege that the government is acting against the paramount national interest of the country.

  • Literary Networks in the Horn of Africa: Oromo and Amharic Intellectual Histories Sara Marzagora and Ayele Kebede
    This is the version of the chapter accepted for publication in Routledge Handbook of African Literature published by Routledge https://doi.org/10.4324/9781315229546-29/ Accepted version downloaded from SOAS Research Online: https://eprints.soas.ac.uk/30591/ Literary networks in the Horn of Africa: Oromo and Amharic intellectual histories Sara Marzagora and Ayele Kebede Scholarship on Ethiopian and African literature In his 1971 study on Four African Literatures, Albert Gérard states that “no imaginative literature seems to have been produced in any of the Non-Amharic vernaculars of Ethiopia” so that ”the phrase Amharic literature can legitimately be used nowadays as a synonym for Ethiopian literature” (1971: 272). This remark reflects a broader bias in Ethiopian literary scholarship. Ethiopia has over 80 languages, some of them spoken by millions of people, but scholars throughout the twentieth century have largely privileged the study of Geez and Amharic traditions1. These two languages were considered “the virtually exclusive carriers of Ethiopian civilization, literature and intellectual prestige”, in the now infamous words of Edward Ullendorff (1960: 116). Other language-traditions, one may deduce from Ullendorff’s statement, were not as prestigious, aesthetically accomplished, or even ‘civilised’. The scholarly dismissal of non-Amharic literatures had strong political reverberations. For the majority of the twentieth century, successive Ethiopian rulers attempted to impose Amharic as the only national language. By belittling the literary heritage of non-Amharic traditions, scholars like Gérard lent support and legitimacy to the Ethiopian state’s linguistic centralism. Some of the prime targets of the state’s policy of Amharisation were Oromo-speaking people, whose literature, as a result, was systematically marginalised.

OROMO PEOPLEHOOD: HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL OVERVIEW BY: ASAFA JALATA In the formation and development of individual or collective identity, the social condition is an objective agent, arising from economic, political, social and cultural aspects which are characteristic of the growth and history of the society in question. If one argues that the economic aspect is fundamental, one can assert that identity is in a certain sense the expression of an economic reality. This reality, whatever the geographical context and the path of development of the society, is defined by the level of productive forces (the relationship between man and nature) and by the means of production (the relations between men [and women] and between classes) within this society.

  • Ethiopia in the Modern World Haile Seiassie from Triumph to Tragedy
    8 ETHIOPIA IN THE MODERN WORLD HAILE SEIASSIE FROM TRIUMPH TO TRAGEDY Liberation When Mussolini declared war on Britain and France on lO June 1940, Britain moved quickly to punish him where he was most vulnerable­ his African Empire. For a brief period, it was Britain that was punished, but less than a year later Africa Orientale Italiana was under British occupation, Ethiopia had been liberated, and Haile Selassie was back on his throne. It was not superiority in manpower which enabled British Com­ monwealth forces to prevail in 1941. The Italians had far more manpower in East Africa than Britain: 84,000 men, 7,000 officers, and a locally recruited colonial army of 200,000. 1 British Commonwealth forces were scraped together from many sources: Sudan, India, Kenya, South Africa2, Northern Rhodesia, Australia, as well as British regiments that had come directly from fighting in Egypt and a few men from other Middle Eastern locations. Advancing from three directions they overcame Italian regulars and native levies. Not all of the latter remained loyal to Italy. The support - and welcome - British Commonwealth troops received from Ethiopian Patriot forces was essential to their success. But success was not preordained and could never have been taken for granted. There were frustra­ tions and complications. The m~or portion of Africa Orientale Italiana was actually overrun in just four months. From life as an obscure exile in Bath, Haile Selassie suddenly returned to the center of a major historical drama. He arrived in Khartoum on 24 June 1940, having been flown via Malta, Cairo and Wadi-HaIfa on orders of Winston Churchill, who overruled the objec­ tions of the British governor-general and colonial service officers in Sudan who did not want to have an Emperor on their hands.

  • My Life: My Vision for the Oromo and Other Peoples of Ethiopia the Red Sea Press, 2013
    My Life: My Vision for the Oromo and Other Peoples of Ethiopia The Red Sea Press, 2013 Authored by Bulcha Demeksa Reviewed by Ghelawdewos Araia, PhD September 19, 2013 Obbo Bulcha, dubbiin kun maal isini fayyadhaa? As the title of the book clearly implies, the book is an autobiography but it is also about what the author wants to write on what he knows and believes about the Oromo, as he aptly puts it in the preface of the book. Upon reading the book, I have come to conclude that Bulcha Demeksa is honest and candid in his analysis of the Ethiopian phenomenon. At times he vents anger toward the oppressive machinery that mistreated and exploited the Oromo and other Ethiopian minority nationalities; unlike other Oromo nationalists, however, Bulcha is very much concerned about the Ethiopian nation as he is very much interested in promoting the self-determination of the Oromo people. In this sense, thus, the book is more of advocacy for the cause of the Oromo rather than solicit vision as the subtitle of the book indicates. While the author did a superb job in delineating the condition of the Oromo throughout the chapters in the book by intermittently digressing from the central thesis of a given chapter, he actually renders his own experience in Haile Selassie’s Government. “I write so much about public service,” says Bulcha, “because it is where I served, worked, and earned my livelihood. In the course of my public service, I came across many people, some good and some not so good.
