  • The Interaction Between International Aid and South Sudanese
    Lost in Translation: The interaction between international humanitarian aid and South Sudanese accountability systems September 2020 This research was conducted by the Conflict Sensitivity Resource Facility (CSRF) in August and September 2019 and was funded by the UK, Swiss, Dutch and Canadian donor missions in South Sudan. The CSRF is implemented by a consortium of the NGOs Saferworld and swisspeace. It is intended to support conflict-sensitive aid programming in South Sudan. This research would not have been possible without the South Sudanese and international aid actors who generously gave their time and insights. It is dedicated to the South Sudanese aid workers who tirelessly balance their personal and professional cultures to deliver assistance to those who need it.

  • Identifying Malaria Epidemic Prone Area Hotspot Map by Using
    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 24, Issue 11, Series. 5 (November. 2019) 65-79 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Identifying Malaria Epidemic Prone Area Hotspot Map by Using Geospatial Technologies and Spatial Multi Criteria Evaluation Techniques: The Case of Majang Zone, Gambella Region, Ethiopia Mikir Kassaw1, Ayalu Zewdie2, Workaferahu Ameneshewa3 1Lecturer in Department of Surveying Engineering, Debre Berhan University, Debre Berhan, Ethiopia 2Lecturer in Department of Geography and Environmental Studies, Debre Berhan University, Ethiopia 3Lecturer in Department of Surveying Engineering, Mizan Tepi University, Tepi, Ethiopia Abstract: Malaria is one of the worlds serious and complex public health problems and it remains one of the greatest killers of human beings in developing countries. Due to its tropical location and other environmental, socio economic and epidemiological factors, southwestern part of Ethiopia where Majang zone is located is favorable for mosquito breeding and malaria transmission. The objective of this research was identifying malaria epidemic prone areas (hotspot) map using Geographical Information System and Spatial Melti-Criteria Evaluation techniques in the case of Majang Zone, Gambella Regional State, Ethiopia. To identify malaria epidemic prone areas, three parameters (environmental, socio economic and epidemiological) were selected depending on previous works and based on discussion made with malaria experts. Environmental parameters include wetness, elevation, drainage buffer, slope, aspect, forest cover, rainfall data, and temperature and water body buffer while socio economic parameters were categorized population and proximity to hospital. An annual parasitic incident case was classified as epidemiological parameters. Rasterization and reclassification process was done using GIS and remote sensing environments for the sake of weighted overlay analysis.

  • Heading with Word in Woodblock
    Gambella Region Area Brief Regional Overview Gambella Peoples' region is one of the nine regional states of Ethiopia. This region is located at the western edge of the country bordering South Sudan. The capital of the region, Gambella, is 766km from Addis Ababa. This region has an estimated density of 10 people per square kilometre. The main ethnicities of the region are the Nuer (46.66%), the Anuak 21.16%), Amhara (8.42%), Kafficho (5.04%), Oromo (4.83%), Mezhenger (4%), Shakacho (2.27%), Kambata (1.44%), Tigrean (1.32%) and other ethnic groups predominantly from southern Ethiopia 4.86%. Children below the age of 18 years accounts for 66.5% (27,974) of the refugee population. Female (women and girls) significantly outnumber male (adult & young men) due to the fact that sizable number of adult and young men died during the 21 years of liberation struggle. Currently there are three refugee camps in Gambella region namely Pugnido, Leite Chore and Okugo which host about 68,000 refugees from South Sudan. Pugnido, 876 kilometres from Addis Ababa to the south west is the oldest refugee camp, which is hosting 42,044 refugees and has existed since 1992 while Okugo, which hosts 5,927 refugees, was established in mid 2013 following interethnic clash between Nuer and Murle people. Leite Chore refugee camp, which is under establishment, will host 20,000 South Sudanese asylum seekers displaced from their homeland due to the countrywide deadly armed conflict that erupted in December, 2013 between the supporters of President Salva Kir and the former vice president Dr.

  • Murle History
    The History of Murle Migrations The Murle people live in southeastern Sudan and are proud to be Murle. They are proud of their language and customs. They also regard themselves as distinct from the people that live around them. At various times they have been at war with all of the surrounding tribes so they present a united front against what they regard as hostile neighbors. The people call themselves Murle and all other peoples are referred to as moden. The literal translation of this word is “enemy,” although it can also be translated as “strangers.” Even when the Murle are at peace with a given group of neighbors, they still refer to them as moden. The neighboring tribes also return the favor by referring to the Murle as the “enemy.” The Dinka people refer to the Murle as the Beir and the Anuak call them the Ajiba. These were the terms originally used in the early literature to refer to the Murle people. Only after direct contact by the British did their self-name become known and the term Murle is now generally accepted. The Murle are a relatively new ethnic group in Sudan, having immigrated into the region from Ethiopia. The language they speak is from the Surmic language family - languages spoken primarily in southwest Ethiopia. There are three other Surmic speaking people groups presently living in the Sudan: the Didinga, the Longarim and the Tenet. When I asked the Murle elders about their origins they always pointed to the east and said they originated in a place called Jen.

This study was carried out to describe the species composition, diversity, distribution and species richness of amphibians and reptiles in Gambella Zuria District, Gambella National Regional State, Western Ethiopia. The study was conducted in 2018. Pitfall traps along with drift fence and Visual encounter survey methods were used to capture the amphibians and reptiles for visual estimation. Herpetofauna was investigated in three habitat types such as wetland, agricultural land, and house and riverine forest. A total of 95 amphibian individuals categorized under nine species, belonging to six genera in six families were recorded. In addition to amphibians, a total number of 17 reptile species belonging to three orders, 11 different families, and 13 genera were recorded. Out of which, five species were snakes, 10 species of lizards, one species of Turtle and one species of Crocodile. Ptychadena nilotica was the most abundant amphibian species while Agama finchi was highest from reptile species in the study area. Tedia riverine forest (H=1.81; D=5.02) was the most amphibian species-rich and diverse among the four habitat types.
