completion of this thesis deserve acknowledgement. The first one for whom I want to forward my special thanks is Dr. Assefa Balcha, my advisor. He helped me much beyond his advisory duty in enriching this thesis. Early on when I began consulting the literature for this research, he provided me with books pertinent to and much related with historical writing and doctoral study. His intellectual advices, during our face to face contact in Addis Ababa and Dessie towns and also over the telephone, were informative and educative. In the processes of writing this thesis, I have benefited a lot from his constructive feedbacks. Thus, without his resourceful and considerate support, the completion of this thesis was unthinkable. I would also thank my wife w∕o Mestawot Masresha and her youngest brother Melaku Masresha. They were almost fully shouldering the arduous task of looking after my children. I am indebted to Ato Tewodros Yosef and Ato Esayas Belay, curators of the archive section in the National Archive and Library Agency. Particularly, I owe a great deal to Ato Tewodros Yosef. His patience in furnishing me with several archival documents time and again was really beyond a resourceful professional duty. My thanks also goes to Ato Dejene Fikremariam, Ato Fekede Bekele, Ato Yeheyis Aregu, Ato Alemu Alene, and Ato Beyene Chekol, staff-members of the Department of History and Heritage Management of

    PREFACE Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) decided to conduct the preparatory survey on “the Project for Construction of Secondary Schools in Amhara Region in the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia” and entrust the said survey to Mohri, Architect & Associates, Inc. The survey team held a series of discussions with the officials concerned of the Government of Ethiopia, and conducted field investigations. As a result of further studies in Japan, the present report was finalized. I hope that this report will contribute to the promotion of the project and to the enhancement of friendly relations between our two countries. Finally, I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the officials concerned of the Government of Ethiopia for their close cooperation extended to the survey team. July, 2011 Nobuko Kayashima Director General, Human Development Department Japan International Cooperation Agency Summary 1. Outline of the Country The Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia (hereinafter referred to as “Ethiopia”) is a republic of 1.104 million km2 with a population of approximately 82.82 million (World Bank, 2009). Its population is the second largest amongst Sub-Sahara African nations. It is an in-land country bordered by Somalia on the east, by Sudan on the west, by Kenya on the south, by Eritrea on the north and also by Djibouti on the southeast. The Ethiopian Highland and other plateaus occupy the majority of the land, and those vary from 1,500 to 4,000 m above sea level. Ethiopia belongs to the tropical region however, the climate differs from one place to another. Addis Ababa, the capital city of Ethiopia, is located at 2,400 m above sea level, and the average annual temperature is 16C.

For instance, Kombolcha, Mieso and Dolomena reported slight wilting and partial drying on sorghum and maize fields due to water stress. On the contrary, some areas of western Amhara, western and central Oromiya including central Tigray and northern Benishangul Gumuz received heavy falls ranging from 30 – 74 mm. During the Second dekad of July 2004, the observed normal to above normal rainfall over most parts of Kiremt benefiting areas favored season's agricultural activities. As a result the general field condition of the crop was in a good shape in most parts of the reporting stations. Moreover, sowing of wheat, teff and pulse crops was underway in some areas of central and western Oromiya, northern SNNPR and eastern Amhara. However some pocket areas of western and eastern lowlands were still under deficient condition. On the other hand some areas of central, eastern and southern highlands exhibited falls greater than 30 mm. For instance Bahir Dar, Senkata, Debre Markos, Kachisie, Debre Birhan, Wegel Tena, Limu Genet and Kombolcha recorded 95.5, 68.2, 58.3, 55.7, 45.6, 44.6, 42.6 and 40.6 mm of heavy fall in one rainy day, respectively.

  • Conflict Prevention in the Greater Horn of Africa
    UNITED STATES INSTITUTE OF PEACE Simulation on Conflict Prevention in the Greater Horn of Africa This simulation, while focused around the Ethiopia-Eritrea border conflict, is not an attempt to resolve that conflict: the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) already has a peace plan on the table to which the two parties in conflict have essentially agreed. Rather, participants are asked, in their roles as representatives of OAU member states, to devise a blueprint for preventing the Ethiopian-Eritrean conflict from spreading into neighboring countries and consuming the region in even greater violence. The conflict, a great concern particularly for Somalia and Sudan where civil wars have raged for years, has thrown regional alliances into confusion and is increasingly putting pressure on humanitarian NGOs and other regional parties to contain the conflict. The wars in the Horn of Africa have caused untold death and misery over the past few decades. Simulation participants are asked as well to deal with the many refugees and internally displaced persons in the Horn of Africa, a humanitarian crisis that strains the economies – and the political relations - of the countries in the region. In their roles as OAU representatives, participants in this intricate simulation witness first-hand the tremendous challenge of trying to obtain consensus among multiple actors with often competing agendas on the tools of conflict prevention.

  • War in Tigray Ethiopia’S Test of Power
    LAURENZ FÜRST War in Tigray Ethiopia’s Test of Power Abstract In November 2020, war broke out in Ethiopia’s northernmost province of Tigray. What started out as a struggle of a breakaway province soon turned into a full- scale war, pitting the Tigrayan Peoples Liberation Front against the Ethiopian central government. Not being able to crush the insurrection on its own, Ethiopia invited troops from neighbouring Eritrea and potentially even Somalia to put down the rebellion. When Abiy Ahmed assumed the office of Prime Minister of Ethiopia in April 2018, one thought that the winds of change had finally reached Ethiopia. It seemed that Ethiopia was able to perform the transition from an authoritarian one-party state to a Western- style democracy on the one hand and on the other hand be a force for stability and reconciliation in the Horn of Africa.
