[20] "In southern Wello, there are still a few areas where indigenous trees survive in pockets of remaining forests. -- A highlight of our trip was a visit to Anabe, one of the few forests of Podocarpus, locally known as Zegba, remaining in southern Wello. -- Professor Bahru notes that Anabe was 'discovered' relatively recently, in 1978, when a forester was looking for a nursery site. In imperial days the area fell under the category of balabbat land before it was converted into a madbet of the Crown Prince. After its 'discovery' it was declared a protected forest. Anabe is some 30 kms to the west of the town of Gerba, which is on the Kombolcha-Bati road. Until recently the rough road from Gerba was completed only up to the market town of Adame, from which it took three hours' walk to the forest. A road built by local people -- with European Union funding now makes the forest accessible in a four-wheel drive vehicle. -

The town of Gondar is located in Northwestern Ethiopia and it has outstanding and outstay world cultural heritage resources situated at its hub.

The collected data also compiled by qualitative method of data analysis. The main and the existing challenges of Gondar’s world heritage sites, specifically of the Fasil Ghebbi and the baths are plant overgrowth, human activities on the immediate vicinity of the sites (that leads to vibration of the structures and noise disturbance), negligence, visitors pressure, improper conservation, nonexistence or inapplicability of heritage management plan, Lack of tourist follow-up system as a means for deliberate graffiti of heritages, lack of cooperation among the concerned bodies and unavailability of directions and instructions. -
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.

These episodes left the empire much weakened andfragmented by the mid-seventeenth century. One result was the emergence of regional lords who are essentially independent of the throne, although in principle subject to it. In this issue of the newsletter, we will briefly describe the major events and decisive characters that shaped the course of Ethiopian history until the rise of Tewodros II in 1855.

Afewerk Tekle As Remembered by Richard and Rita Pankhurst
Afewerk Tekle As remembered by Richard and Rita Pankhurst Afewerq Tekle was Ethiopia’s most celebrated artist. Born in the old Šawan capital, Ankobar, on 22 October 1932, he was the son of Ato Tekle Mammo, a minor court functionary, and Woizero Felekech Yematawork. As a small child, Afewerq was seriously wounded during the Italian invasion. After the Liberation, he was enrolled in Addis Ababa’s Patriots’s School, together with the children of other Ethiopian Patriots. He was subsequently selected as one of the first students to be admitted to the newly established, élite Haile Selassie I Secondary School at Kotebe. There he studied with sons of the nobility and other youngsters destined to play important roles in post- war Ethiopian government. IN 1944 Richard’s mother, the British Suffragette, Sylvia Pankhurst, visited this school. She had been editing New Times and Ethiopia News – a publication in support of Ethiopia since 1936, and was on her first trip to the country. One of the school’s teachers showed her Afewerq’s exercise-books. They included several interesting sketches, which showed signs of considerable artistic promise. She took a particular interest in these, having studied art herself but, much to her regret, had given it up to dedicate herself to political campaigning. In the summer of 1947, Afewerq, then aged fifteen, was selected for further education in Britain – one of a number of chosen Ethiopian students to be sent abroad. On arrival at the airport in London there was no one to meet them, as it was a public holiday and the Ethiopian Legation had not been informed of their arrival. -
