Honey Wine Chart Honey Wine in Ethiopian Languages Here is a list of Ethiopian languages and their words for "honey wine" and "honey." Note frequent similarities: Some are cognates, or words that evolved from a common ancestor, and some represent borrowing. More than one word may appear for a language because of the difficulty of transliterating the words into English, or because different linguists have recorded different words. Where linguists have identified a dialect with a different word, I have created a line for that data. I began this project around 2008 and finally completed it in 2021, when a linguist provided me with the Nayi word for honey wine. The presence of a word in a language doesn't necessarily mean the culture drinks honey wine. Some cultures make honey beer or other feremented drinks, and Moslem cultures tend not to drink it. I have noted those instances. The languages come from Ethnologue and the words from linguists. To learn more about t'ej, visit my website: T'ej: The Ethiopian Honey Wine.

  • Interagency Rapid Protection Assessment - Bahir Dar, Amhara Region
    Interagency Rapid Protection Assessment - Bahir Dar, Amhara Region 18-19 December 2018 MISSION OBJECTIVE / PURPOSE: In mid-December 2018, the Protection Cluster was informed of the arrival of approximately 1,200 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) from Kamashi zone in Benishangul-Gumuz region to Bahir Dar in Amhara region. Amhara regional DRM confirmed the numbers and added that an upwards of 200 IDPs continue to arrive Bahir Dar on a daily basis. The IDPs are of Amharic ethnicity, whom have reported instances of GBV and human rights violations, suffered in Kamashi and en route to Bahir Dar. The Protection Cluster conducted an interagency Rapid Protection Assessment between the 18th – 19th December, to better understand the protection needs of the new arrivals to Bahir Dar, as well as the conditions in Kamashi zone. As humanitarian access to Kamashi zone is restricted, the total number of IDPs and conditions in Kamashi, remains largely unknown by the humanitarian community. The aim of a Rapid Protection Assessment is to assist the Protection Cluster and protection agencies to collect relevant information to identify key protection concerns and information gaps according to an agreed common methodology, which included: key informant interviews, focus group discussions and observations.

  • Implications of Land Deals to Livelihood Security and Natural Resource Management in Benshanguel Gumuz Regional State, Ethiopia by Maru Shete
    Implications of land deals to livelihood security and natural resource management in Benshanguel Gumuz Regional State, Ethiopia by Maru Shete Paper presented at the International Conference on Global Land Grabbing 6-8 April 2011 Organised by the Land Deals Politics Initiative (LDPI) in collaboration with the Journal of Peasant Studies and hosted by the Future Agricultures Consortium at the Institute of Development Studies, University of Sussex Implications of land deals to livelihood security and natural resource management in Benshanguel Gumuz Regional State, Ethiopia 1 (Draft not for citation) Maru Shete Future Agricultures Consortium Research Fellow, P.O.Box 50321, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Email: [email protected] Abstract The Federal Government of Ethiopia (FGE) is leasing out large tracts of arable lands both to domestic and foreign investors in different parts of the country where land is relatively abundant. While the FGE justifies that it is part of the country’s strategy to achieve food security objective, critics have been forwarded from different directions. This research aims at studying the implications of land deals to livelihood security and natural resource management in Benshanguel Gumuz Regional State. Exploratory study was done and data were collected through interviewing 150 farm households in two districts of the region. Key informants interview and focus group discussions were also held to generate required data. Primary data were complemented with secondary data sources. Preliminary findings suggest that there is weak linkage, monitoring and support of investment activities from federal, regional and district levels, weak capacity of domestic investors, accelerated degradation of forest resources, and threatened livelihood security of community members.

  • Places of Detention
    ICRC The ICRC is present in Ethiopia since the beginning of the 1977 Ethio-Somalia armed conflict. Its current major activities in the country are visiting places of detention so as to ensure both the treatment and conditions of detainees and helping people with physical disabilities (PWDs) get access to quality and sustainable physical rehabilitation services. It also works closely with the Ethiopian Red Cross Society (ERCS) to restore family links among people separated by armed conflict and other situations of violence and provides assistance mainly to people displaced by conflict. The ICRC also promotes the knowledge of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) among members of defense and polices forces as well as higher learning institutions. In 2020, the ICRC’s humanitarian activities mainly focused on responses to two major crises caused by COVID-19 outbreak and fighting in northern Ethiopia. The ICRC had rapidly adapted to the evolving reality of the outbreak of the coronavirus in the country and had stepped up its response to the crisis integrating COVID-19 as an important new parameter in its operations. In response to the humanitarian crisis caused as a result of the fighting in northern Ethiopia since early November, the ICRC had quickly scaled up its response in delivering medicine and medical supplies to health facilities, which were badly affected by shortage of supplies and reconnecting the families with their relatives in Tigray. Moreover, the ICRC and ERCS jointly provided emergency relief and water to the affected communities, including to internally displaced persons. PLACES OF DETENTION From January to December 2020, the ICRC: Visited nearly 72,000 detainees and followed up 242 detainees individually.

  • Benishangul-Gumuz Region
    Situation Analysis of Children and Women: Benishangul-Gumuz Region Situation Analysis of Children and Women: Benishangul-Gumuz Region ABSTRACT The Situation Analysis covers selected dimensions of child well-being in Benishangul-Gumuz Regional State. It builds on the national Situation Analysis of Children and Women in Ethiopia (2019) and on other existing research, with inputs from specialists in Government, UNICEF Ethiopia and other partners. It has an estimated population of approximately 1.1 million people, which constitutes 1.1% of the total Ethiopian population. The population is young: 13 per cent is under-five years of age and 44 per cent is under 18 years of age. Since 1999/00, Benishangul-Gumuz has experienced an impressive 28 percentage point decline in monetary poverty, but 27 per cent of the population are still poor; the second highest in the country after Tigray and higher than the national average of 24 per cent. SITUATION ANALYSIS OF CHILDREN AND WOMEN: BENISHANGUL-GUMUZ REGION 4 Food poverty continued a steep decline from 55 per cent in 1999/00 to 24 per cent in 2015/16; close to the national average of 25 per cent. In Benishangul-Gumuz, in 2014, only 1.1 per cent of rural households were in the PSNP compared to 11 per cent of households at the national level In 2011, the under-five mortality rate in Benishangul-Gumuz was the highest in Ethiopia (169 per 1,000 live births); this declined significantly, but is still very high: 96 deaths per 1,000 births, which is the second highest in the country after Afar.

  • ETHIOPIA IDP Situation Report May 2019
    ETHIOPIA IDP Situation Report May 2019 Highlights • Government return operations continue at full scale and sites are being dismantled. • Where security is assured and rehabilitation support provided, IDPs have opted to return to their areas of origin. IDPs who still feel insecure and have experienced trauma prefer to relocate elsewhere or integrate within the community. Management of IDP preferences differs in every IDP caseload. • There is minimal to no assistance in areas of return. Local authorities have requested international partner sup- port to address the gap. Meanwhile, public-private initiatives continue to fundraise for the rehabilitation of IDPs. • The living condition of the already vulnerable host communities has deteriorated having shared their limited resources with the IDPs for over a year. I. Displacement context Government IDP return operations have been implemented at full scale since early May 2019 following the 8 April 2019 announcement of the Federal Government’s Strategic Plan to Address Internal Displacement and a costed Re- covery/Rehabilitation Plan. By end May, most IDP sites/camps were dismantled, in particular in East/West Wollega and Gedeo/West Guji zones. Humanitarian partners have increased their engagement with Government at all levels aiming to improve the implementation of the Government return operation, in particular advocating for the returns to happen voluntarily, in safety, sustainably and with dignity. Overall, humanitarian needs remain high in both areas of displacement and of return. Most assistance in displace- ment areas is disrupted following the mass Government return operation and the dismantling of sites, while assis- tance in areas of return remain scant to non-existent, affecting the sustainability of the returns.

  • The Reaction of the Gumuz People Against Large-Scale Land Acquisitions in Benishangul-Gumuz Region, Ethiopia Tsegaye Moreda1
    Listening to their silence? The reaction of the Gumuz people against large-scale land acquisitions in Benishangul-Gumuz region, Ethiopia Tsegaye Moreda1 Abstract In Ethiopia, large-scale land acquisitions have been looming ever larger over the last few years, mainly in the lowland parts of the country. A substantial amount of land has already been acquired by both domestic and foreign investors in Benishangul-Gumuz region. The land acquisitions pose apparent threats to the economic, cultural, and ecological survival of local indigenous communities. In particular, Gumuz ethnic groups, who depend on customary forms of land access and control, as well as whose livelihoods based heavily on access to natural resources, are being differentially affected. Through a case study in some selected administrative districts of the Benishangul-Gumuz region, this paper is an attempt to use empirical evidence to examine how local indigenous communities are engaging with or challenging the recent land acquisitions. By doing so, the paper shows how the apparent silence of the Gumuz people regarding the land acquisitions is misleading. It shows how local communities, although not organized either politically and economically, express their discontent in differentiated ways against the state and social forces - particularly over land, access to employment and around state politics. As I show in this paper, local reactions range from covert to more open forms of resistance. Key words: large-scale land acquisition; local resistance; Benishangul-Gumuz; Ethiopia 1 International Institute of Social Studies of Erasmus University Rotterdam, The Hague, The Netherlands; e-mail: [email protected] 1 1. Introduction This paper sets out to examine how local indigenous communities perceive ongoing large-scale land acquisitions in Ethiopia, and how these communities, with a particular focus to the Gumuz people in the Benishangul-Gumuz region, have been reacting to it.

  • 1. INTRODUCTION Ethiopia Is One of the Most Populous Countries In
    CHAPTER VII SIZE, CHARACTERISTICS AND PURPOSE OF LIVESTOCK AND USE OF LIVESTOCK PRODUCTS 1. INTRODUCTION Ethiopia is one of the most populous countries in Africa, having an estimated population of about 67.2 million in July 2002 with annual growth rate of 2.9%. This growing population demands much better economic performance than in the past, at least to ensure food security and other basic needs. The dominant economic feature of the country is the agriculture sector of which livestock is a very important and essential component. The highlanders raise livestock together with crop cultivation for their livelihood whereas the lowlanders or the ‘pastoralists’ subsistence is based mainly on livestock and livestock products. Consequently, the government should give due attention to this sector in order to take advantage of its contribution to the economic growth and as a result to meet the needs of the expanding population. The livestock sector has been contributing significant portion to the economy of Ethiopia, but still has great potential to assist the economic development of this country. It is well known that livestock products and byproducts in the form of meat, milk, honey, eggs, cheese, and butter supply the needed animal protein that contribute to the improvement of the nutritional status of the people. Livestock also plays an important role in providing export commodities, such as live animals, hides and skins to earn foreign exchanges to the country. On the other hand, draught animals provide power for the cultivation of the small holdings and for crop threshing virtually all over the country and are also essential modes of transport to take holders and their families long- distances, to convey their agricultural products to the market places and bring back their domestic necessities.
