  • Historical Survey of Limmu Genet Town from Its Foundation up to Present
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC & TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH VOLUME 6, ISSUE 07, JULY 2017 ISSN 2277-8616 Historical Survey Of Limmu Genet Town From Its Foundation Up To Present Dagm Alemayehu Tegegn Abstract: The process of modern urbanization in Ethiopia began to take shape since the later part of the nineteenth century. The territorial expansion of emperor Menelik (r. 1889 –1913), political stability and effective centralization and bureaucratization of government brought relative acceleration of the pace of urbanization in Ethiopia; the improvement of the system of transportation and communication are identified as factors that contributed to this new phase of urban development. Central government expansion to the south led to the appearance of garrison centers which gradually developed to small- sized urban center or Katama. The garrison were established either on already existing settlements or on fresh sites and also physically they were situated on hill tops. Consequently, Limmu Genet town was founded on the former Limmu Ennarya state‘s territory as a result of the territorial expansion of the central government and system of administration. Although the history of the town and its people trace many year back to the present, no historical study has been conducted on. Therefore the aim of this study is to explore the history of Limmu Genet town from its foundation up to present. Keywords: Limmu Ennary, Limmu Genet, Urbanization, Development ———————————————————— 1. Historical Background of the Study Area its production. The production and marketing of forest coffee spread the fame and prestige of Limmu Enarya ( The early history of Limmu Oromo Mohammeed Hassen, 1994). The name Limmu Ennarya is The history of Limmu Genet can be traced back to the rise derived from a combination of the name of the medieval of the Limmu Oromo clans, which became kingdoms or state of Ennarya and the Oromo clan name who settled in states along the Gibe river basin.

Vol. 9, No. 3, 2021, pp. 79-85. doi: 10.11648/j.ajbio.20210903.12 Received : April 17, 2021; Accepted : May 11, 2021; Published : May 20, 2021 Abstract: Forty seven Coffea arabica L. germplasm accessions collected from Limmu district were field evaluated from 2004/5 to 2013/14 with two commercial check varieties at Agaro Agricultural Research sub center in single plot. The objective of the experiment was to assess the variability among the accessions using quantitative traits. Data for about eight quantitative traits were recorded only once in experimental period, while the yield data were recorded for six consecutive cropping seasons. Cluster, genetic divergence, and principal component analysis were used to assess the variability among the genotypes. The results revealed that average linkage cluster analysis for nine traits grouped the germplasm accessions in to three clusters. The number of accessions per cluster ranged from three in cluster III to 25 in cluster II. The clustering pattern of the coffee accessions revealed that the prevalence of moderate genetic diversity in Limmu coffee for the characters studied.

  • Books and Networks in South Western Ethiopia
    Books and Networks in South Western Ethiopia Report of the Second Mission of the Islam in the Horn of Africa Project (30 January -4 March 2016) Michele Petrone Adday Hernández López Historical Framework The region object of our study during the first two missions is central for the understanding of the diffusion of Islam among the Oromo of South-Western Ethiopia. The Islamization of the region is quite recent and coincided with significant political and social changes among the population. The process has developed at multiple stages and had different centers of propagation of the doctrines. For Jimma region we have already significant historical data. As for the other areas studied during the missions, there is still no significant study on them. The first place visited has been the small town of Wolkite, located in a Gurage and Qabena area.1 The city was originally the residence (gĕbbì) of the fitaurari2 Habte Gyorgis3 in the second half of the 19th century. Antonio Cecchi (d. 1896), fifty years earlier, did not mention Wolkite. The Guida dell'Africa Orientale Italiana, published in the 1938, describes it as a small city with telegraph, postal service and infirmary.4 From the notices given by Enrico Cerulli (d. 1988), is not clear if the Islamization of the area was already extended in the late '20s, while he mentions the presence of the tomb of a Saint not far from the city.5 The ḥaḍra of Zabi Molla was probably founded before Cerulli passed there, but he does not mention it, nor he mentions the 1 Qabena is a cushitic language spoken in the area, different from the most diffused Afaan Oromo; see Crass, Joachim, The Position of K’abeena within Highland East Cushitic, Afrikanistische Arbeitspapiere 67 (2001), 5-60; Cecchi, Antonio, Da Zeila alle Frontiere del Caffa, Roma : Società Geografica Italiana, 1885, 3 vols., II 26-29.

Typhoid fever is prevalent in Ethiopia and the burden differs with diverse demography, environment, and climate. Ecient evidence concerning the trend of typhoid fever is important for targeted intervention in the catchment area. So, ongoing analysis of surveillance data is vital but there is no data regarding typhoid fever trend and distribution in the study area. The study aimed to determine the proportion of typhoid fever cases by person, district, and time ,and to assess the mortality rate of typhoid fever. Method Descriptive cross-sectional study design was conducted among monthly reported typhoid fever surveillance data of 5 years (2015-2019) in Jimma Zone. The data were retrieved, analyzed, and interpreted from May 20/2019 to June 7/ 2019. The study population is estimated to be 3425206. SPSS version 21 was used to enter and analyze the data.
