Abstract This paper is a part of my Ph.D. research work and entitled “Recent trends on the socio- cultural and economic life of the Shinasha tribal in Ethiopia: In the case of Benishangul- Gumuz Region.” This work analysis how the recent trends on the socio-cultural and economic changes and its implications underwent on the Shinasha community? I address this question by historically juxtaposing socio-economic and cultural life of the people with my interviews with the key informants and observation of changes in conditions of the Shinasha. This inquiry illuminates aspects of the recent trends in the socio-economic and cultural life of the Shinasha. This layered analysis and illuminates the contextual of the study area and complex relationships between socio-economic and cultural changes with geographical locations of the areas. It is well-known that the socio-cultural and economic changes of the Shinasha are the least studied subjects in Ethiopian historiography. The method used contains the interviewing key informants to support the existing sources. Their witnesses were cautiously crosschecked and analysed through qualitative methods.

    Journal of Critical Reviews ISSN- 2394-5125 Vol 7, Issue 9, 2020 SOCIAL CONDITIONS OF SHINASHA TRIALS IN NORTHWESTERN ETHIOPIA 1Abebe Ano Alula, 2Arjun Rao Kuthadi (Ph.D.) 1Ph.D. candidate in Department of History, College of Social Sciences and Art Osmania University, Hyderabad, India 2Professor of History ,Supervisor, Department of History, College of Social Sciences and Art Osmania University, Hyderabad, India Received: 24.03.2020 Revised: 14.04.2020 Accepted: 22.05.2020 Abstract This article is primarily concerned to explore the social conditions of the Shinasha community in northwestern Ethiopia. Shinasha is some of the Indigenous groups with Ca. 60,587 population in Ethiopia, Africa continent, who are living Benishangul-Gumuz Regional State, near the Sudanese borderland. They have different social practices that distinguish them from others. They were part of the historical Gonga people who once lived on edges of the River Abay. Where were the early places of settlement of the Shinasha? What were the Social conditions, social changes and continuity in the Shinasha community? I address these questions by historically juxtaposing with social conditions and its dynamics with my interviews with the key informants and observations of changes in conditions of the Shinasha. This study highlights the geographic and background of the study area. The study tries to focus on the early settlement of the Shinasha and their conquest under imperial rule. It attempted to analyze the social organization of the Shinasha society. The significance of the paper is contributed to the understanding of the Social conditions and social changes and continuity of the Shinasha community in the historical outline.

Thus, Benishangul-Gumuz Regional State (hereafter used as BGRS) drafted and adopted its own constitution. The 2002-revised constitution of the region vividly recognized the establishment of administration of nationalities as administrative hierarchy by replacing the former Zonal Administration. Therefore, the writer of this paper collected various empirical evidences by using personal interview, researcher’s field note, FGD in addition to appropriate legal document investigation to explain the paradox of incompatibility of legal principles and actual practices of nationality administration in BGRS. Hence, the writer claims that, BGRS does not follow its own constitutional provisions for administration ofIJOART nationalities practically. Since constitutionally, nationality administrations in BGRS have important powers but practically these powers are symbolic/nominal.

  • A Case Study of Shinasha Tribe in Northwestern Ethiopia
    International Journal of Management, Technology And Engineering ISSN NO : 2249-7455 NEW YEAR FESTIVITY: GAARO/GAARI-WORO/ IN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVES IN AFRICA: A CASE STUDY OF SHINASHA TRIBE IN NORTHWESTERN ETHIOPIA ABEBE ANO ALULA DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY OSMANIA UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF ART AND SOCIAL SCIENCES HYDERABAD-50007, TELENGANA STATE, INDIA Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Ethiopia is home to one of the oldest peoples in the world. Thus, Shinasha tribe is one of the ethnic groups of the people in Ethiopia, Africa continent, who are living in the State of Benishangul-Gumuz Region, Ethiopia. They have different cultural, economic and social practices that distinguish them from other ethnic groups of the region. This study aimed to assess and outline New Year festivity: Gaaro or Gaaro-Woro (in local language) among the Shinasha in historical perspectives. It attempted to analysis the festivals and festivity of the New Year, Gaaro and related cultural practices among the Shinasha tribe. During various cultural activities and celebration, youths both boys and girls, children, men and women participate fully, and at times, they are the main actors in the festivals. Though some of these festivals are no longer celebrated with all ceremony and display with the advent of its traditions. Yet, there is persistence in the observances of some certain festivals in spite of social change brought about by the others influence in neighbouring areas and modernity. This paper, therefore, argues that despite the incursion of others influences, modernity and technology, there are still some adherents who through persistence have to continue till today the celebration of festivals like Gaaro and others.

Abstract: Land use planning in rangelands is challenging due to the variable nature of the environment and to the multiple often over-lapping land uses over a large scale. In 2014 the Government of Ethiopia (GoE) embarked on developing a process of local level participatory land use planning in pastoral areas. The process has now been piloted in two regions of Ethiopia led by government land experts and with support of development actors. This paper describes the woreda (district) participatory land use planning process and how it was developed. It also considers the challenges faced in piloting and implementation, the risks and benefits of the approach, and opportunities for scaling-up the process across the pastoral areas of Ethiopia.
