The Politics in Naming the Ethiopian Federation
The Politics in Naming the Ethiopian F'ederation Mulugeta Gebrehiwotl and Fiseha Haftetsion2 Abstract The Ethiopian federal arrangement is commonly referred to as a case of clarity on the system and the distinction between the concepts ethnicity and nationalism and/or the lack of interest to do so explains the remainder. Key words : Ethiopia, Federalism, Ethnicity, Nationalism, Multinationalism Introduction Naming political parties, public institutions, governments and gove(nance systems is a serious matter. First, names are expected to summarize thb nature, purpose, and behavior of the entities they represent. secondly, names convey messages with a direct bearing on the popular perception of a system or an entity and therefore contribute to its approval or rejection by the public. In some instances, names denote a political position and an action called for by a goup. For example, 'naming' the military regime that took power from the Emperor n 1974 was a controversial issue among the main progressive parties of the time. The Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Party (EPRP) named the regime 'Fascist' while advocating for a revolution to overthrow it. But the All Ethiopian socialist Party (MEISON) called it a'military junta' and asked for a 'critical support' to the regime to ensure a peaceful transition.

Social and Environmental Risk Factors for Trachoma: a Mixed Methods Approach in the Kembata Zone of Southern Ethiopia
Social and Environmental Risk Factors for Trachoma: A Mixed Methods Approach in the Kembata Zone of Southern Ethiopia by Candace Vinke B.Sc., University of Calgary, 2005 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of Geography Candace Vinke, 2010 University of Victoria All rights reserved.

Control efforts have largely focused on the antibiotic treatment (A) and surgery (S) components of the World Health Organizations (WHO) SAFE strategy. Although S and A efforts have had a positive impact, this approach may not be sustainable. Consequently, this study focuses on the latter two primary prevention components; facial cleanliness (F) and environmental improvement (E). A geographical approach is employed to gain a better understanding of how culture, economics, environment and behaviour are interacting to determine disease risk in the Kembata Zone of Southern Ethiopia. -

Periodic Monitoring Report Working 2016 Humanitarian Requirements Document – Ethiopia Group
DRMTechnical Periodic Monitoring Report Working 2016 Humanitarian Requirements Document – Ethiopia Group Covering 1 Jan to 31 Dec 2016 Prepared by Clusters and NDRMC Introduction The El Niño global climactic event significantly affected the 2015 meher/summer rains on the heels of failed belg/ spring rains in 2015, driving food insecurity, malnutrition and serious water shortages in many parts of the country. The Government and humanitarian partners issued a joint 2016 Humanitarian Requirements Document (HRD) in December 2015 requesting US$1.4 billion to assist 10.2 million people with food, health and nutrition, water, agriculture, shelter and non-food items, protection and emergency education responses. Following the delay and erratic performance of the belg/spring rains in 2016, a Prioritization Statement was issued in May 2016 with updated humanitarian requirements in nutrition (MAM), agriculture, shelter and non-food items and education.The Mid-Year Review of the HRD identified 9.7 million beneficiaries and updated the funding requirements to $1.2 billion. The 2016 HRD is 69 per cent funded, with contributions of $1.08 billion from international donors and the Government of Ethiopia (including carry-over resources from 2015). Under the leadership of the Government of Ethiopia delivery of life-saving and life- sustaining humanitarian assistance continues across the sectors. However, effective humanitarian response was challenged by shortage of resources, limited logistical capacities and associated delays, and weak real-time information management. This Periodic Monitoring Report (PMR) provides a summary of the cluster financial inputs against outputs and achievements against cluster objectives using secured funding since the launch of the 2016 HRD. -
Significance of Wheat Stem Rust (Puccinia Graminis F.Sp. Tritici) in Gurage Zone, Ethiopia
International Journal of Scientific and Research Publications, Volume 8, Issue 11, November 2018 222 ISSN 2250-3153 Significance of Wheat Stem Rust (Puccinia graminis f.sp. tritici) in Gurage Zone, Ethiopia Arif Abrahim1*, Bahiru Wabela2, Kifle Zerga3 and Endale Hailu4 1,2,3 College of Agriculture and Natural Resource, Wolkite University, P.O.BOX 07, Wolkite, Ethiopia 4EIAR, Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research, Ambo Plant Protection Research Center P.O.Box 37, Ambo, Ethiopia Corresponding Author: Arif Abrahim: (+251) 0923953894; e-mail: [email protected] DOI: 10.29322/IJSRP.8.11.2018.p8328 http://dx.doi.org/10.29322/IJSRP.8.11.2018.p8328 ABSTRACT Wheat is one of the important cereal crops of Ethiopia. It is the leading crop in land coverage and total production next to tef and maize and in productivity after maize and sorghum. Gurage highlands are also considered to be suitable areas for wheat production in the country. However, the production of wheat in this region is threatened by different wheat rusts; such as stem rust disease. So, this study was conducted with the following objectives: to determine distribution, incidence and severity of wheat stem rust in Gurage highlands. Field survey was carried out in four districts of Gurage zone. A total of 100 fields were surveyed. During survey stem rust disease was occurred in 88% of the fields surveyed in Gurage zone. The mean incidence of pathogen was 47.45%. The highest mean severity (20.68%) was recorded in Soddo followed by Cheha (12.84%). All varieties grown in the zone were attacked by the disease in one area or the other. -
