  • The Role of Community Radio for Integrated and Sustainable Development in Ethiopia: a Critical Review on the Holistic Approach D
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 10 December 2020 doi:10.20944/preprints202012.0260.v1 The Role of Community Radio for Integrated and Sustainable Development in Ethiopia: A Critical Review on the Holistic Approach Destaw Bayable Yemer Guna Tana Integrated Field Research & Development Center, Debre Tabor University, Ethiopia Email: [email protected] Abstract Community radios play a paramount role in the development of the community. Community radio stations have been highly engaged in addressing social, economic, cultural, educational, health, environmental, sanitation, and disaster issues effectively and strategically using local languages in context. Community radios are also used to express, and share indigenous views, thoughts, ideas, problems, and perspectives of local people. The purpose of this analysis is to explore the role of community radio for integrated and sustainable development in Ethiopia. It used a systematic narrative review. Nine research works and five assessments report were selected purposively and analyzed in a quantitative approach. Currently, in Ethiopia, there are 50 community radio stations that received broadcast licenses from Ethiopian Broadcast Authority with four types of licensing and broadcasting in 29 local languages. Community radio helps the community to identify their common goals, create holistic plans, monitor the progress of their developmental activities, and guide on sustainable development. It contributes to integrated and sustainable development in a collaborative and creative process that cultivates the social, economic, and political conditions needed for the community to succeed which aimed to improve and sustain the livelihoods of the community. However, the media can’t achieve its target goal to support the development activities and bring holistic development of the community.

  • The Quest for Resolution of Guji-Gedeo Conflicts in Southern Ethiopia: a Review of Mechanisms Employed, Actors and Their Effectiveness
    The Quest for Resolution of Guji-Gedeo Conflicts in Southern Ethiopia: A Review of Mechanisms Employed, Actors and Their Effectiveness Girum Kinfemichael1 Abstract This article assesses the quest for resolution of Guji-Gedeo conflicts, the federal device as a means of managing conflict employed and their effectiveness. Methodologically, the study is mainly based on qualitative approach with an opinion and descriptive surveys to reveal the existing problems. It emerges from the study that the different structures, processes and mechanisms, which are employed at various levels of administrative hierarchies of governments for managing the conflicts, remain ad-hoc, not well-coordinated and, above all, their actions are mainly reactive. The study draws an argumentative conclusion that the Federal Government and authorities of the Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples’ Region (SNNPR) and Oromiya Regional State need to boost their close cooperation, engagement in early warning and conflict management endeavors in addressing the conflict as the two communities are still at loggerheads over the issue of defining the contested boundary claims. It is also useful to extend the scope of such cooperation and engagement to the level of local governments in both Regional States. Along with these efforts, it would be better if authorities at various levels revitalize and empower traditional conflict resolution institutions to run parallel with ‘modern’ government structures to respond to the conflicts promptly. It is thus prudent to use the advantage of federalism as flexible and innovative system of governance to manage the conflict constructively. Keywords: Boundary conflicts, ethnicity, ethnic federation, federal restructuring, Guji-Gedeo conflicts, indigenous institutions. 1 Lecturer, Department of Federalism and Local Government Studies, Institute of Federalism and Legal Studies, Ethiopian Civil Service University.

Box 144 Abstract The main purpose of this paper is to investigate Gadaa power transfer, which is performed every eight years among the Oromo society in general and Gujii Oromo in particular. In this study the researcher employed boththe primary and secondary sources. Secondary data sources were collected by assessing published and unpublished materials. The primary data were collected through observation,discussion and interview.Furthermore, these data were described qualitatively. Finally, all data were analyzed and interpreted carefully according to social science disciplines. As revealed by the study, power ( baalli i) transfer is a ritual celebration passing through different steps and concluded by sacrificial activities from giving and taking Abbaa Gadaa’s peacefully. The findings of this paper indicated that in Gadaa Democracy power transferred peacefully through fair, free and periodic election. It has real significance in intercommunity peace-building and sustaining social solidarity and integration. Finally, the paper explored how theOromo nationdeveloped this amazing and exemplary philosophyfor self-rule, self-determination and sustainable development.It also illustrates how it had functioned as a socio-political institution by preventing oppression and exploitation and promoting relative peace, security, sustainable development, and political sovereignty.

  • Contradicting Strategy to Rural Resettlement: Analysis of Socio-Economic Rehabilitation Nexus Environmental Management at Adola
    discip ter lina OPEN ACCESS Freely available online In ry f o S l o a c n i a r l u S o c J i l e a n b c e o l Global Journal of Interdisciplinary Social Sciences s G ISSN: 2319-8834 Research Article Contradicting Strategy to Rural Resettlement: Analysis of Socio- Economic Rehabilitation Nexus Environmental Management at Adola Rede and Odo Shakiso in Eastern Gujii Zone Mekuria Guye* Department of Geography and Environmental Studies, Bule Hora University, Ethiopia ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to assess incongruity between resettlement strategies and environmental management at resettlement scheme of Adola and Shakiso in Eastern Guji Zone. This research is case study research design by its nature, which focus on resettlement practice and resultant environmental responses. Resettlers from four resettlement scheme in Adola and Shakiso were target groups. Then, sample respondents selected by using simple random sampling techniques from each kebele. Both quantitative and qualitative research methods were employed. Questionnaires and in-depth interviews were the data gathering tools employed. Obtained information were analyzed by using SPSS and presented in simple statistical tools. It is investigated that, even though 44.1%, resettlers’ had chance of owing their own land, the compensation made haven’t helped them assist themselves in sustaining livelihoods. The resettlement practices were procedurally unplanned and environmentally devastating. The process of the relocation was socio-economically worthwhile but environmentally disparaging. Resettlers are reluctant in protecting big, old and sacred trees and wild animals being eager in the extension of size of their farm land.

Until recently, the oldest APs of the country that were available had been taken in the period 1958-1964. The APs over Ethiopia in 1935-1941 consist of 8281 assemblages on approx. 50 cm x 20 cm hardboard tiles, each holding a label, one nadir-pointing photograph flanked by two low-oblique photographs and one high- oblique photograph. The four APs were exposed simultaneously and were taken across the flight line. The high-oblique photograph is presented alternatively at left and at right.
