I, John Doe, also known by the pseudonym “Kidane” am a U.S. citizen, and a former citizen and resident of Ethiopia. I have personal knowledge of the matters stated in this Declaration and, if called upon to do so, I am competent to testify to all matters set forth herein. 2. I am one of several siblings in my family. I was born in Ethiopia and lived there for decades until the early 1990s, during which time I visited the United States on vacation. 3. While in the U.S., the political situation in Ethiopia changed rapidly, and I was fearful to return to the country. Thus, I filed for, and was quickly granted, asylum to remain in the U.S. 4. I have subsequently lived in the U.S. and obtained U.S. citizenship. Many of my siblings and extended family, including minor children, continue to live in Ethiopia to the present day. 5. I have, from time to time for approximately the last five years, provided technical and administrative support to other members of the Ethiopian diaspora. Some of my contacts JA 016 Case 1:14-cv-00372-RDM Document 1-1 Filed 03/05/14 Page 2 of 3 USCA Case #16-7081 Document #1651139 Filed: 12/14/2016 Page 21 of 433 participate in a movement to protest and raise awareness of the current state of political corruption and human rights abuse occurring in Ethiopia. 6. I consistently use the pseudonym “Kidane” in my work with the Ethiopian diaspora to protect the physical and mental well being of both myself and my family members who may be targeted by the Ethiopian government and members of the Ethiopian diaspora sympathetic to the government in response to my association with other Ethiopian expatriates. Indeed, not even all of my closest, most immediate family members know about my work providing support to the diaspora. 7. I would be extremely hesitant to continue to seek legal redress in this case should I be denied this request to proceed pseudonymously, as I fear the litigation would put my life and the lives of my family at substantial risk. 8. One particular organization was formed outside of Ethiopia within the diaspora community in order to protest abuses by the Ethiopian government. The organization came to be known as “Ginbot 7,” a reference to the month and date of a repressed election in Ethiopia. Ginbot 7 has subsequently organized a democratic opposition to the Ethiopian government, and operates as way for members of the diaspora movement to protest against the abuses of Ethiopian government in a collective fashion. 9. I am not a leader of Ginbot 7, nor am I a member of the organization. I have provided some technical support and assistance to members of the organization for the past few years.

  • By Jennifer M. Fogel a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
    A MODERN FAMILY: THE PERFORMANCE OF “FAMILY” AND FAMILIALISM IN CONTEMPORARY TELEVISION SERIES by Jennifer M. Fogel A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Communication) in The University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Amanda D. Lotz, Chair Professor Susan J. Douglas Professor Regina Morantz-Sanchez Associate Professor Bambi L. Haggins, Arizona State University © Jennifer M. Fogel 2012 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe my deepest gratitude to the members of my dissertation committee – Dr. Susan J. Douglas, Dr. Bambi L. Haggins, and Dr. Regina Morantz-Sanchez, who each contributed their time, expertise, encouragement, and comments throughout this entire process. These women who have mentored and guided me for a number of years have my utmost respect for the work they continue to contribute to our field. I owe my deepest gratitude to my advisor Dr. Amanda D. Lotz, who patiently refused to accept anything but my best work, motivated me to be a better teacher and academic, praised my successes, and will forever remain a friend and mentor. Without her constructive criticism, brainstorming sessions, and matching appreciation for good television, I would have been lost to the wolves of academia. One does not make a journey like this alone, and it would be remiss of me not to express my humble thanks to my parents and sister, without whom seven long and lonely years would not have passed by so quickly. They were both my inspiration and staunchest supporters. Without their tireless encouragement, laughter, and nurturing this dissertation would not have been possible.

This move came for many by surprise. The announcement was welcomed by the Eritrean Authorities. On 9th of July both countries an- nounced a joint declaration of peace. All these developments have been documented in my first publication “A new Era: Eritrea – Ethiopia in Peace”1. Since then the drive to peace and cooperation between the two countries have gained mo- mentum. Furthermore, it spread all over the crises-ridden region of the Horn of Africa. Eritrea settled the longstanding dispute with Somalia. Djibouti and Eritrea decided to settle the border issue. Ethiopia urged Eritrean opposition groups to not work from Ethiopian terri- tory against Eritrea no more. Eritrea herself broke peace agreements with Ethiopian opposi- tion groups and their military wings. With the agreements with Somalia and Djibouti, Eritrea is next to the lifting of the UN-sanctions. Meanwhile the harbors of Massawa and Assab are open for Ethiopian imports and exports. The first Ethiopian ship to dock at Massawa was “Mekelle”, named after the capital city of Tigray – what a symbolic sign! Plans being made to build an oil-pipeline from Assab to Addis Abeba and to revamp the oil refinery of Assab.

To do so, an individual base cross-sectional data analysis along with the two stage sampling technique of both purposive and random sampling technique was undertaken. To analyze the data, the study employed two sets of models (logistic and the method of principal component analysis). The econometric results of the study indicates that determinants like lack of credit access, lack of financial planning, complexity of banking system, monthly expenditure on stimulants, sex, significantly and negatively affects households saving capacity, but monthly income, age, bank account holding experience, marital status, and occupation positively and significantly affects saving capacity. In similar fashion, determinants include improper government policy, weak institutional set up, complexity of banking system, distance in Km away from their home to financial institutions, and religion significantly and negatively affect the probability of households to be banked, on the other hand, sex of households, credit access, income, marital status, education and age positively and significantly affects the probability of households to be banked.
