Wherein Lies the Equilibrium in Political Empowerment? Regional Autonomy Versus Adequate Political Representation in the Benishangul Gumuz Region of Ethiopia
ACTA HUMANA • 2015/Special edition 31–51. Wherein Lies the Equilibrium in Political Empowerment? Regional Autonomy versus adequate Political Representation in the Benishangul Gumuz Region of Ethiopia BEZA DESSALEGN* After the implementation of the post 1991 EPRDF government’s program of ethnic re- gionalism, local ethnic rivalries have intensified among indigenous nationalities and non-indigenous communities of Benishangul Gumuz. The quest for regional autono- my of the indigenous nationalities, especially, to profess their need of self-rule, did not resonate very well with the political representation rights of the non-indigenous com- munities. In this regard, the paper argues that the problem is mainly attributable to the fact that the Constitutional guarantees provided under the FDRE Constitution have not been seriously and positively implemented to bring about a balanced polit- ical empowerment. Making the matter even worse, the regional state’s Constitution placement of a Constitutional guarantee by which the indigenous nationalities are considered to be the ‘owners’ of the regional state coupled with an exclusionary po- litical practice, relegating others to a second-class citizenship, has undermined the notion of “unity in diversity” in the region. Thus, striking a delicate balance between the ambitions of the indigenous nationalities regional autonomy on the one hand and extending adequate share of the regions political power to the non-indigenous communities on the other is a prerequisite for a balanced political empowerment. 1. Introduction Benishangul Gumuz is one of the nine federated states of the Ethiopian federation. It has a total area of 50,380 square kilometers with a population size of 670,847 inhabit- ants.1 It is administratively divided into three zones of Assosa, Metekel and Kamashi.

Alternative Citizenship the Nuer Between Ethiopia and the Sudan ABORNE Workshop on Sudan’S Borders, April 2011 Dereje Feyissa
Alternative citizenship The Nuer between Ethiopia and the Sudan ABORNE Workshop on Sudan’s Borders, April 2011 Dereje Feyissa Abstract A lot has been written about state borders as constraints to local populations who are often ‘artificially’ split into two and at times more national states (Asiwaju 1985; Kolossov 2005). The Nuer, like many other pastoral communities arbitrarily divided by a state border, have experienced the Ethio-Sudanese border as a constraint, in as much as they were cut off from wet season villages in the Sudan and dry season camps in Ethiopia. As recent literature on the border has shown, however, state borders function not only as constraints but also as opportunities (Nugent 2002), and even as ‘resources’ (Dereje and Hohene 2010). The paper examines how the Nuer have positively signified state border by tapping into - taking advantage of their cross-border settlements -fluctuating opportunity structures within the Ethiopian and Sudanese states through alternative citizenship. Nuer strategic action is reinforced by a flexible identity system within which border-crossing is a norm. Sudan's Southeastern frontier: The Toposa and their Neighbours (abstract) The Topòsa and some of their neighbours have long been among the groups in particular remoteness from the political and economic metabolism of the state system. Until recently, the borders of the Sudan with three other nations, Uganda, Kenya and Ethiopia, that touch on their area could be considered mere notions and lines on maps of another world. This situation has substantially changed since the 2nd Sudanese Civil War – and with it the meaning of terms like “their area”.

Homogenisation of cultures and languages by the earlier regimes led to the emergence of ethno-national movements and civil wars that culminated in the collapse of the unitary state in 1991. For this reason, the federal system that recognises ethnic groups‟ rights is the first step in transforming the structural causes of civil wars in Ethiopia.

Emmanuel Kalipha Birthdate: 1995 Tribe/People Group: Berta of Ethiopia Experience in Ministry: Pastor of Faith Bible International (Baptist)
Church Planter Profile Name: Emmanuel Kalipha Birthdate: 1995 Tribe/People Group: Berta of Ethiopia Experience in ministry: Pastor of Faith Bible International (Baptist) Testimony: Emanuel was born in Asosa, Ethiopia from the Berta tribe. He grew up in the church, his father is a pastor, and was one of the first Berta people to ever accept Jesus. He has the vision to reach the Berta people with the Gospel. The church has been here in Asosa many years, but they have not tried to reach the Berta people. The Berta are somehow excluded from the community, they live in the rural area. The Berta speak Sudanese Arabic and Bertinia. We have two have strategies, short term and long term. Short term focus on Berta people in the town. Then when we get success in these things the long term will be using these indigenous Berta people to reach the rural Berta people. For the Berta people Christianity is for others and not for them that’s why they are 100% Muslim. His Father was totally excommunicated from the Berta community for his faith. In this society if they say Jesus Christ, they will be killed, so for that reason they will not accept Jesus. Emanuel has one young Berta man that was saved and follows him in secret. The parents don’t know because if they knew they will kill him. His name Ibrahim. He is underground, hidden. Emanuel currently pastors a church of 150. He has the special hurt for the Berta people. They don’t have access to hear about Jesus.
