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.

Chapter Iii Socio-Economic Characteristics of the Population in Agricultural Households
CHAPTER III SOCIO-ECONOMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE POPULATION IN AGRICULTURAL HOUSEHOLDS 1 INTRODUCTION Population as a producer and consumer is closely related with agriculture. On the one hand, population affects production in general and agricultural outputs in particular by furnishing the required labour. On the other hand, the size of a population and its anticipated growth is the main factor determining food consumption requirements. Regarding the balance between population and consumption, if more people are to be fed than the food or services produced, saving and capital investments will be negatively affected. Moreover, population growth also negatively influences agriculture by putting pressure on the environment, such as water, fertility of land, . etc. Population size further influence productivity mainly through the diversification and specialization of the economy, the size of the market, and the importance of foreign trade. Not only the size, but also the socio-economic characteristics of the population of the agricultural households are important to the agricultural production. Study of the nature of the agricultural sector of a country will not be complete without proper understanding of the socio-economic characteristics of the population engaged in it. The population statistics of the agricultural households can be used to describe the characteristics and distribution of the population in space, its density and degree of concentration, the fluctuation in its rate of growth and the movement from one area to another. Data on population and agriculture will also help in finding out what percentage of resources will be needed at a particular time for the meeting of basic needs of the people and what amount of socially useful and productive labour is available in the country, regardless of whether labour or capital intensive techniques will suit the nation's economy.

Forests in Ethiopia are threatened by unsustainable uses and conversion to alternative land uses. In spite of the consequences of forest degradation and biodiversity loss and reliance of communities on forests livelihoods, there is little empirical data on the role of biodiversity in livelihoods of the local communities. This study was done in Benishangul Gumuz Regional state, in selected kebeles of Assosa and Bambasi Districts aiming to determin the Socioeconomic and biocultural uses of biodiversity to the local communities living around biodiversity hotspot areas selected. These data were obtained by interviewing 151 households. Forest product market survey was undertaken to determine prices of various forest products for valuation of forest use. Forest income was significant to households contributing 33% of total household income. Fuel wood contributed 50%, food (27%), construction material (48%), and fodder, and thatching material 51% to household forest income.

Email: [email protected] https://dx.doi.org/10.4314/evj.v21i1.1 Abstract PGF2α induced estrus characteristics and reproductive performance of free ranging goats were studied in six districts of Assosa and Metekel zones of the Benishangul-Gumuz region, Ethiopia. Structured questionnaire and a field survey were applied on a total of 200 randomly selected households. The entire goats (n=1073) owned by the households were clinically examined for the pres- ence of any health problem. Records of animal identification, parameters of reproductive performance such as weaning age and age at puberty, litter size, kidding interval (KI), the type of management practice and clinical param- eters were taken on pre-designed format. Further, 40 cycling local breed does were selected and randomly assigned into PGF2α treatment (n=20) and control (n=20) groups to study estrus characteristics. Age at puberty was 6.5±1.22 and 6.7±1.22 months for male and female goats, respectively. The mean (±sd) kid- ding interval was 252.35±31.46 days with a mean (±sd) litter size of 1.6±0.3.

Epidemiology of Trypanosomosis in Domestic Ruminants and Donkeys in Asosa Zone, Northwestern Ethiopia: Prevalence and Vectors Involved
Epidemiology of Trypanosomosis in Domestic Ruminants and Donkeys in Asosa Zone, Northwestern Ethiopia: Prevalence and Vectors Involved Mintesnot Tsegaye, Tafese Hailemariam, Kumela Lelisa and Behablom Meharenet National Institute for the Control and Eradication of Tsetse Fly and Trypanosomosis (NICETT), Akaki Kaliti Sub-city P.O. Box 19917, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia Key words: Asosa, Bambasi, domestic ruminants, Abstract: African animal trypanosomosis is among the donkeys, trypanosomosis, vectors most serious livestock diseases alleviating food sufficiency in Sub-Saharan Africa. Accurate information related to the prevalence, vectors distributions and densities have of great importance in designing the appropriate control and interventions strategies to combat trypanosomosis and its vectors. This study aimed to generate a base line data to implement the trypanosomosis and tsetse control operations. A cross-sectional involved dark phase ground buffy coat technique and deployments of baited traps was conducted from November 2014 to March 2015 in Asosa and Bambasi districts of Asosa Zone, Northwestern Ethiopia. Positive samples were stained by Giemsa’s in thin blood smears, fixed with methanol for 5 min and examined under oil immersion using 100× objectives to identify the species of trypanosomes. Glossina morsitans submorsitans was the only caught tsetse fly species with an apparent density of 5.77 fly/trap/day. Among 42 G. m. submorsitans dissected, five (11.90%) were found to harbor T. congolense (9.52%) and T. vivax (2.38%). The prevalence of trypanosomosis was significantly higher in cattle (8.55%) than in donkeys (2.35%), goats (1.68%) and sheep (0.00%). In all infected study animals, T. congolense was the dominant trypanosome species Corresponding Author: (97.32%); T.

The Problems of Water Supply in Asosa Woreda Benishangul Gumuz Regional State
ADDIS ABABA UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF DEVELOPMENT STUDIES INSTITUTE OF ENVIRONMENT, WATER AND DEVELOPMENT The Problems of Water Supply in Asosa Woreda Benishangul Gumuz Regional State BY ABDULKERIM MUSA MOHAMMED June, 2010 Addis Ababa 1. CHAPTER ONE: Introduction 1.1 Background Water is one of the basic necessities for human survival and socio-economic development. Access to safe water and adequate sanitation is a universal need and basic human right. It is currently estimated that 1.1billion people in the world lack access to potable water supplies and 2.6 billion people lack adequate sanitation (UNICEF, 2004). The global health burden associated with this condition is staggering with an estimated 4000-6000 children dying each day from diseases associated with lack of access to safe drinking water in adequate sanitation and poor hygiene (WSSCC, 20004). The UN Millennium development Goals (MDG) aim to reduce by half the proportion of people with out sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation by the year 2015. The lack of access to improved drinking water is still a serious problem in many Asia and Africa. In sub-Saharan Africa, only 36% of the population has access to basic sanitation (UNICEF, 2004). To meet the MDG for basic sanitation alone implies that sanitation must be provided for approximately 2.1 billion people from 2002 to 2015. In order to provide toilets for 2.1 billion people over 13 years requires a minimum of 44,300 installations per day for the next 13 years (assuming one toilet for every 10 people).They must not provide "improve" water and "basic" sanitation to those who currently lack these fundamental services but also to ensure that these services provide safe drinking water, adequate quantities of water for health, hygiene, agriculture, development and sustainable sanitation approaches to protect health and environment(WHO, 2000).Water supplies and sanitation were first high lighted on the development agenda about 30 years ago.
