    VICTORIA FALLS Ethiopian Airlines Factsheet - April 2017 OSLO ANTANANARIVO Overview Ethiopian Airlines (Ethiopian) is the leading and most profitable airline in Africa. In 2014 IATA ranked Ethiopian as the largest airline in Africa in revenue and profit. Over the past seven decades, Ethiopian has been a pioneer of African aviation as an aircraft technology leader. It all started with a military surplus C-47, leading the way with the first Jet service in the continent in the early 60’s to the first B-767 in the mid 80’s, to the first African B-787 Dreamliner in 2012 and the first African Airbus A-350 in 2016. Ethiopian joined Star Alliance, the world’s largest Airline network, in December 2011. Ethiopian is currently implementing a 15-year strategic plan called Vision 2025 that will see it become the leading airline group in Africa with seven strategic business units. Ethiopian is a multi-award winning airline, including SKYTRAX and Passenger Choice Awards in 2015, and has been registering an average growth of 25% per annum for the past ten years.

Federalism and Autonomy 6 Conflicts in the Somali Region 6.1 Introduction The preceding chapter gave a general background to the history and ethnic makeup of the study regions. In contrast, this chapter presents the impact of federal restructuring on intra and inter-clan relationships in the newly constituted Somali region. In fact, some of the theoretical propositions about the role of federalism in decentralising conflicts through ‘proliferation of points of power,’ outlined in chapter 2 appear to have been worked in the SNRS. In other words, federal restructuring by making resources such as political appointments, civil service jobs, regional/local budget and others available at local and regional levels impelled both intra and inter-clan contestations that often lead into violence. The division that emerged between the dominant Ogaden and the non-Ogadeni clans in the wake of ethnic regionalisation appeared to reduce possible threats from the Somali region to the political centre. However, inter-clan autonomy conflicts in the region are typically violent and localised.

    EanZ aE0 /20 Public Disclosure Authorized ETHIOPIA Public Disclosure Authorized CALUB GAS DEVELOPMENT PROJECT Environmental Assessment Public Disclosure Authorized March 1993 Public Disclosure Authorized Public and Pri-ate Enterprise Division Eastern Africa Department Preface This EnvironmentalAssessment was conductedas part of the preparation for the Calub Gas DevelopmentProject in Ethiopia. The Project Team comprised: Luciano Borin (Team Leader), Paul Ballard (Private Sector Development), Carine Du Marchie and Gerda Heyde (WID consultants),Tom O'Connor (Gas Field Geology), Thuvara Nayar (Refinery Operations), Harry Sasson (Privatization, consultant) Maurizia Tovo (Regional Development), Salman Zaheer (Financial and Economic Analysis, consultant). The project will be located in the part of Region 5 traditionally known as the Ogaden. In view of the project implicationsvis-a-vis the fragility of the Ogaden's environment, both human and natural, a special sub-team, coordinated by Maurizia Tovo, was established to prepare an EnvironmentalAssessment. The sub-teamincluded the following consultants:Mohamoud Ayan (RangelandEcologist), Richard Hogg (Anthropologist)and Marino Martin (IndustrialPollution Specialist). A number of visits to key areas and communitieslikely to be affected by the Calub Gas DevelopmentProject took place between May and December 1992. Discussionswere held with government agencies, donors and NGO's working in the region, as well as with traditional leaders, local authorities, women's groups and community members. The resulting report, therefore, reflects the knowledgeand wisdomof a large number of individualsthoroughly familiar with the area under study. The draft report was submitted to the Government for review and approval, and it benefitted from the contributions of the Water Commission, the Ministry of Environmental Protectionand Natural ResourceDevelopment, the Ministry of Planning, and the Third Livestock Project (Ministry of Agriculture).

Peripherality, Ethnic Makeup 5 and History: Somali and Benishangul-Gumuz Regions 5.1 Introduction The previous chapter examined the asymmetrical features of Ethiopian federalism and provided an outline about emerging trends of autonomy conflicts at the country level. The task of this chapter is, however, to provide a general background on the two study regions – Somali and Benishangul-Gumuz. Both regions share a number of similarities. For instance, they were historically peripheral to the Ethiopian State and hence their constituent ethnic groups have little presence in the national political landscape. They also suffered from chronic marginality in terms of social and physical infrastructure development. Indeed, in spite of some of the positive changes since 1992, the two regions still lag significantly behind the highland regions. Besides peripherality, both regions have cross-border ethnic ties. In fact, the international boundaries that Ethiopia shares with the Sudan and Somalia divide the ethnic groups of the two regions. There is, however, some variance in the significance of the ethnic groups to the politics of the neighbouring countries.

DISCLAIMER This document is based on Ethiopia’s ‘pledge commitments’ made at the September 2016 Leaders’ Summit in New York as articulated and published in the Roadmap for the Implementation of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia Government Pledges and for the practical application of the CRRF in Ethiopia. Whilst this report endeavors to largely follow the format of the Roadmap, as with the 2018 reports, additional information is also offered where deemed relevant. This document is not a Government of Ethiopia (GoE) publication. Rather it responds to the requests of stakeholders to have some assessment of pledge implementation made available – relating directly to UNHCR’s expected ‘supportive and catalytic’ role in the Global Compact on Refugees / Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework (GCR/CRRF).

    Fik Pastoral Livelihood Zone (LZ1) Geographical Features • Terrain: mostly hilly and browse-rich (thick, thorny bush good for goats and camels). Some pockets of good grazing for cattle and sheep. Dagahbur zone Shallow wells in seasonal river areas provide fairly • reliable water sources, although water quality (saline) deteriorates in dry seasons. Areas distant from seasonal rivers are more vulnerable to water shortages; here people use natural ponds where rainwater collects, available in the wet season only.

Opportunistic farming if the rains are good (but unreliable: only two successful harvests in the last ten years). Access to water: There are numerous water points, mostly shallow wells in seasonal riverbeds; but distant areas may suffer water shortages as they rely on rainwater ponds. Livestock and migration: Goats and camels are predominant due to the terrain; shoats (mainly goats) are important ‘liquid’ livestock in the local markets, therefore important for cereal purchases. Camels are important for transport and milk (consumption and income). Pasture is surveyed regularly (more in dry seasons); migration follows accordingly.
