The seven orders of the Ethiopic alphabet are represented as follows:- 1st order u = Bä 2nd order u< = Bu 3rd order u= = Bi 4th order v = Ba 5th order u? = Bé 6th order w = Be 7th order x = Bo II. Regarding the sixth form in the above list, it must be noted that the “e” will be suffixed to the letter only if the letter is vocalized or stressed. Otherwise it would not be required at all. As a general rule also, the “e” is not required when the sixth form is the last letter of a word. Example: SUI` = Mämher wÉ` = Bedder III. Palatalized sounds are represented as follows : g = Š † = Č – = Ň ¶ = Ž iii Ë = J IV. Glottalized sounds are represented as follows: k = Q Ö = T Ú = Č ç/ì = S â = P ® = A = (Pronounced as in Tigri ňa Agamä) N = H = (pronounced as in Tigri ňa Ha ramat) ¤ = Kh (pronounced as in Tigriña Ãkhora) V. Germination is indicated by doubling consonants: E.g: Käbbädä Täsämma IV. General Examples: ›v} = Abatä MÏ , Lej ›[Ò© = Arägawi S”Ñh , Mängäša ›nm = Aqaqi ™™ , Noñño ¯c=Uv = Asimba ×Ã~ , Taytu ¯§^ = Akhora ìHÃ’i , Sähaynäš ¯ÒS = Agamä ewPƒ , Sebhat ÅÍ´T‹ = Däjjazma č â?Øae , Pétros Ú`Ú` = Čärcär ²’u¨`p , Zänäbäwärq Ñ» = Gäž iv OS^ = Humära v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS When I joined the Graduate Programm of the Department of History as a student I have been interested and prepared to write my thesis on another topic inspite of the disapproval of the topic by the department. Hence, I found the task of changing a topic for an M.A. thesis, in a very short period of time, not an easy task. Ato Tsegay Berhe, a staff member of the Addis Ababa University, however, helped and encouraged me, with compliment, to develop an interest in the study of the political history of Tigray (1910-1935). It is, therefore, a pleasure to acknowledge with gratitude the assistance and encouragement I received from him in having an interest in the topic I have worked on. I have drawn up on the help of many people in the research for this thesis. Of the many who helped me to facilitate my research, my brothers, Ato Girmay G/yohannes, Ato Habtom Tsegay and Ato Mekonnen G/Tsadiq, who were very helpful during my fieldwork at Adigrat and in Maqalle, deserve my special thanks. They did all they could to assist in the success of my fieldwork. I recall with great pleasure the hospitality and encouragement I received from them and I am indebted to them very much indeed. I also thank all my informants for sharing with me their wide knowledge and experience and for enduring the many hours of interviews I made with them. From among my informants Dr. Zewde G/Sellasse who also provided me with almost all the photographs, which I included in my thesis, deserves special thanks. vi I will always be grateful to my advisor, Dr. Tecle-Haimanot Gebre-Sellasse, for giving his time and energy, for counseling me, and for reading the draft of my thesis and for critically commenting on it. The constant encouragement of my brothers, Ato Teklay G/yohannes, Ato G/Egeziabher G/yohannes, Ato Mekonnen G/yohannes, Ato Haile-Sellasse G/yohannes and my sister Tsehaynesh G/yohannes, and of my friends, Ato Abadi G/Kidan, Ato Teklu Equar and Ato Tarekegn G/Eyesus has also been a valuable prop throughout the period of my research and preparation of the thesis. I thank them all indeed. My special thanks also go to my Italian language teacher at the Addis Ababa University, Signorina Irene Tosato, whose support in translating some of the Italian texts, necessary for the thesis has been invaluable. It is with immense gratitude that I acknowledge her contribution to the success of my work. An indefatigable lady, Eyerusalem Mahitem, has typed my thesis with hardly a word of complaint about the intricacies of the transliteration system. I thank her very much indeed. Finally, I want to express my indebtedness to my friend and staff member at the Aksum Senior Secondary School, Ato G/Giorgis G/Kidan, for making light of difficulties, which could have been almost insurmountable all through the years of my stay at the university. vii PREFACE The period between 1910 and 1935, in Tigray, was a period of complex games of political

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT The arrival of a Protestant mission in Ethiopia during the 1850s marks a turning point in the history of the Falashas. Up until this point, they lived relatively isolated in the country, unaffected and unaware of the existence of world Jewry. Following this period and especially from the beginning of the twentieth century, the attention of certain Jewish individuals and organisations was drawn to the Falashas. This contact initiated a period of external interference which would ultimately transform the Falashas, an Ethiopian phenomenon, into Ethiopian Jews, whose culture, religion and identity became increasingly connected with that of world Jewry. It is the purpose of this thesis to examine the external influences that implemented and continued the process of transformation in Falasha society which culminated in their eventual emigration to Israel.

  • PETROS III (D. 1607) Petros Was Certainly the Successor Of
    PETROS III (d. 1607) Petros was certainly the successor of Krestodolu I, but in Ethiopian documents, information about his episcopate is fragmentary and scant, perhaps explained by the fact that the annals of the sovereigns of his time do not survive. Only the manifesto issued around 1624 by Negus Susenyos (1607-1632) in an effort to explain his joining the Catholic church gives a summary view of this episcopate. Denouncing the conduct of certain metropolitans in Ethiopia, this negus wrote: Abuna Petros [III], who succeeded this metropolitan [Krestodolu I], had relations with the wife of a Melchite, and when this fact became public, he paid the fine levied against any adulterer who corrupts the wife of another; certain witnesses having knowledge of this are still living, such as Joseph and Marino, who are foreigners not Ethiopians. Moreover, to this sin the metropolitan added other misdeeds. In the seventh year of Negus Ya‘qob's reign, Petros [III] issued a general excommunication which caused the people to depose Yaqob, exile him to Ennarya, and replace him with Za-Dengel. Later, he [Petros III] issued a second general excommunication in order to persuade the Ethiopians to get rid of Negus Za-Dengel, who was in fact killed [and replaced by Ya‘qob]. And as if that were not enough, when we [Susenyos] decided to fight against Negus Ya‘qob, the metropolitan [Petros III] went to war with him and fell with him on the battlefield. The essential facts referred to in this passage from Susenyos' manifesto must be summarized. Sarsa Dengel had had no male offspring by his wife Maryam Sena, but at his death he did leave some illegitimate sons.

New history. We understand the new history generally in the same way as the representatives of Marxist history. It is a history of establishment of new social-economic formation – capitalism, which, in difference to the previous formations, uses the economic impelling and the big machine production. The most important classes are bourgeoisie and hired workers, in the last time the number of the employees in the sphere of service increases. The peasants decrease in number, the movement of peasants into towns takes place; the remaining peasants become the independent farmers, who are involved into the ware and money economy. In the political sphere it is an epoch of establishment of the republican system, which is profitable first of all for the bourgeoisie, with the time the political rights and liberties are extended for all the population. In the spiritual plan it is an epoch of the upper mental, or causal (later lower intuitive) plan, the humans discover the laws of development of the world and man, the traditional explanations of religion already do not suffice. The time of the swift development of technique (Satan was loosed out of his prison, according to Revelation 20.7), which causes finally the global ecological problems.

  • The Paintings in St. George Church in Addis Ababa As a Method
    Studies of the Department of African Languages and Cultures, No 49, 2015 ISSN 0860-4649 Hanna Rubinkowska-Anioł University of Warsaw The Paintings in St. George Church in Addis Ababa as a Method of Conveying Information about History and Power in 20 th - century Ethiopia 1 Abstract: In one of the most important churches in Addis Ab- aba (Ethiopia), there is a panel containing several paintings. They are exact copies of photographs showing Emperor Haile Sellasie I during the war against Italy (1935-1941). The paint- ings were copied from frequently published, and thus well- known, photographs, which served imperial propaganda to show the Emperor’s role in fighting for Ethiopia’s independ- ence. Using the paintings as source material, it is the aim of this article to discuss specific propagandistic methods applied in Ethiopia under Haile Sellasie to transmit a message about power and history, and to present the intended image of the Emperor to his subjects. Keywords : Ethiopia, visual representation, St. George Church, Haile Sellasie I, Italo-Ethiopian War Introduction In St. George Church, one of the main Addis Ababa churches, there is a panel of paintings presenting scenes from the Italo- Ethiopian war (between 1935 and 1941). The paintings were made as a reminder of the role Haile Sellasie I (the emperor of Ethiopia from 1930 to 1974) performed in regaining Ethiopia’s independence. The pictures were meant to testify to the Emperor’s services to the nation and emphasize his right – frequently undermined by his opponents – to rule the country after independence was regained.

  • Ethiopian Flags and History)
    Ethiopian Constitution, the Flag, Map, and Federalism by Mastewal There have been contentions to the Ethiopian present constitution and even the flag and its administrative arrangement in the way it is governed federally. In the forefront of these oppositions have been the political parties and the Ethiopian diaspora, who have been airing their concerns. Some, who oppose the present flag, are seen with the flag used during the Emperor Haile Selassie’s rule with the lion carrying the cross. Some use the civil flag of Ethiopia. Why changes have been made in the Ethiopian flag and its administrative regions have their historical backgrounds. But, the argument goes on and on as pros and cons in fear of disintegration of the country. The contentions can be damaging if the struggle for changing the above if not made in a civilized way and go out of hand as evidenced in some instances. Innocents can be incited to adopt radical changes. If you remember Aesop, the Greek fabulist and storyteller in your school time, then you come across in what he is presumed to have said, “the injuries we do and those we suffer are seldom weighted in the same scales.” I just want to quote George M. Church in respect to changes. He is taking the comparison between a dinosaur and ostrich. As you all know dinosaur is an extinct creature, which lived in our world over hundred millions years ago. May be the dinosaur evolved to an ostrich. “What dinosaur traits are missing from an ostrich? The ostrich has a toothless beak, but there are mutations that cause teeth and claws to come back to their mouth and limbs.

Throne names and horse names were used solely by the emperors and the ruling class. Those name changes exalted the bearer by either stating his authority or connecting him to divine power. Pen names and field names were used by people not in power to hide their identity from people with the power to harm them. Although the purpose of those name changes was to disguise, the names that

The attractions in these regions include water related heritage resources like hot springs, dike, cannels, brooks, water lodges, backlands, river forelands, bridges and other related resources; historic and strategic military sites, beautiful monuments, ancient caves and ancient and medieval churches and monasteries as well as rich intangible cultural heritages, particularly the performing art of folk music traditions of Burbuax communities. Many countries use architectural symbolism in memorial monuments, cultural projects, landscapes and institutions to commemorate individuals and events and promote them for sustainable development through tourism. Though significant battles were fought and huge sacrifices were made in the study area in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries to defend the sovereignty of Ethiopia, many of the leaders and events are not well commemorated. Though much has been said about Emperor Téwodros II, no significant memorials are attached to the spaces which have special acquaintances with him in Quara, Dembia, Mahebere Sellassie, Derasgie and Gafat. Two places where Emperor Yohannes IV was fatally wounded and died fighting against the Sudanese Mahadists in Metemma are marked with small monuments but both monuments have their own 1 This paper is outcome of research conducted in the last few years funded by University of Gondar and by Amhara Region Culture and Tourism Bureau.
