Searching for a Way out of Social Discrimination: A Case Study of the Manjo through the 2002 Incident in Kafa SAYURI YOSHIDA Nagoya University Under the present Ethiopian government, social discrimination is a human rights issue. De- spite the national policy of the right to self-determination launched by the Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front, the Manjo, a socially discriminated minority who live in the western Kafa and eastern Sheka zones, feel that they are being deprived of this right. In 2002, the Manjo attacked the Kafa in an attempt to put an end to this discrimination. Knowledge of the circumstances surrounding the Manjo uprising is essential for understanding the confl ict. Th is article describes these circumstances and the changes brought about by the incident. Key words: Kafa, Manjo, social discrimination, minorities, confl icts 1. INTRODUCTION In this article, I investigate the social background of an armed attack against the Kafa by the Manjo. In March 2002, Manjo living in Bita wäräda in the Kafa zone and Yeki wäräda in the Sheka zone of the Southern Nations Nationalities People’s Region (SNNPR) mounted an attack on their Kafa neighbors. Many Kafa were killed and their houses burned to the ground. Th e attack was violent, especially in Woshero k’ebele and Shota k’ebele of Bita wäräda. Th e Manjo are a minority group who live in pockets in the Kafa, Sheka, Benchi Maji, and Dawro zones and the Konta special wäräda in SNNPR. Th ey also occupy the Oromia and Gambella Re- gional States. Manjo living in the Kafa zone have long been discriminated against by the Kafa. -

Ethiopia’s economy, decentralise its state, and democratise its politics have sought to reverse a history of centralised autocracy and violent political conflict. Despite important advances, the capacity and the freedom of action of civil society and political opposition remain limited. The cur- rent period is critical in terms both of political stability and pluralism, and of pro-poor socio-economic development in Ethiopia. The study advocates an analysis of power that takes account of the political culture, knowledge, and be- liefs of Ethiopia’s diverse citizens.

The Contribution of GUDO Forest Conservation Culture Is Key to Biodiversity Conservation
Journal of Geography & Natural Disasters Research The contribution of GUDO forest conservation culture is key to biodiversity conservation Getaneh Haile Shoddo Department of Natural Resource Management, Jigjiga University,Ethopia. ABSTRACT Background: The Sheka people have long been sustainably managing and conserving the Sheka forest by utilizing different procedures. Shockingly, these indigenous methods for natural resource management are ordinarily absent from scientific forest management and not archived. This paper aims to document “the GUDO culture” and demonstrate how the Sheka people through their indigenous culture can provide valuable, appropriate, and effective forest conservation strategies. Thus, every culture has a system of beliefs that guides their interactions with nature. One of the traditional forest management practice commonly found in Sheka zone is the GUDO. Results: The GUDO is a designated forest area mostly found in the mountainous and the rocky area of the Sheka zone. It is found mostly in rocky and mountainous parts of the Sheka zone. They are cultural symbols related to indigenous beliefs and signify spiritual connections to the forestland. Conclusions: This paper concludes that the GUDO forest conservation culture is illustrated in the Sheka people forest utilization, protection, and management. Therefore, the GUDO forest conservation culture provides important insights into the protection of various forest types and tree species, contributing to the conservation of biodiversity. Keywords: Gudo Culture; Forest; Indigenous Belief; Natural Resource Management. INTRODUCTION indigenous networks, people groups, and countries (Martinez Recent developments in the field of traditional forest-related Cobo, 1986/7). Numerous specialists have put accentuation on knowledge have led to renewed interest in the conservation, incorporating traditional forest-related knowledge and scientific management, and sustainable use of natural resources. -
Forest Allocation, Bene T Sharing, and Management Practice in the KOBO
Forest Allocation, Benet Sharing, and Management Practice in the KOBO Community Forest Among the Sheka People Getaneh Haile Shoddo ( [email protected] ) Jigjiga University Research Keywords: KOBO forest, forest allocation, forest benet sharing and forest management practice Posted Date: October 22nd, 2020 DOI: https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-94567/v1 License: This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. Read Full License Page 1/17 Abstract Background: Sheka people have the right to forest allocation, benet sharing, and management practice that they possess due to traditional ownership or other traditional occupation. Locally, these forests are known as KOBO. There is a scarcity of documented information on the KOBO culture of forest allocation, benet sharing, and management practice among Sheka people. A study was conducted in Sheka zone southwestern Ethiopia. Methods: A framework based on ethnographic information is proposed in this paper; accordingly, qualitative indicators are suggested for different variables relating to indigenous forest allocation, benet sharing, and management practice. A representative sample of 20 volunteered research participants were chosen. Observational and interview surveys were done by the rst author through personal visits. Results: The analysis of data shows the KOBO culture is productive and ecient for forest management, and this useful culture has demonstrated its signicance in the protection of various forest types and tree species, contributing to the conservation of biodiversity. These results lend support to the idea that the KOBO forest conservation culture is illustrated in the Sheka people forest utilization, protection, and management provide important insights into the protection of various forest types and tree species, contributing to the conservation of biodiversity. -

International Journal For Research In Agricultural And Food Science ISSN: 2208-2719 Characterization of indigenous chicken production systems in Sheka zone, south western Ethiopia Hailu Assefa*1, Aberra Melesse2 , Mestawet Taye2 *1Mizan Agricultural Technical, Vocational, Educational and Training College, P.O. Box 217. Southern Nations Nationalities Regional State, Ethiopia 2 School of Animal and Range Sciences, Hawassa University, P.O. Box 5, Hawassa, Ethiopia *Corresponding author: E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The survey was conducted in Sheka Zone to characterize the production system of indigenous chicken populations. A mixture of purposive and random sampling techniques was used to collect the data. Data on chicken production system were assessed through semi-structured questionnaire survey. Households who rear only indigenous chicken were considered in this study. The findings revealed that the mean flock size in the study area was 13.2 per household. About 38.3 and 61.7% of respondents replaced their flock through buying from market and from hatched, respectively. The primary purpose of egg production in the study zone was for income generation (80.4%). The study indicated that indigenous chicken production system in study area is characterized by scavenging with seasonal feed supplemented system. The most common supplementary feed was Ensete ventricosum (processed enset) (64.9%) in the study zone. About 52.5% of respondents keep their chickens in a separate house while the rest (47.5%) used different types of night sheltering systems. Newcastle disease (40.5%) was the main devastating diseases reported by the households. The mean age at first egg laying for pullets and sexual maturity for cockerels was 6.3 and 5.6 months, respectively. -
