  • Life As an Eritrean Refugee: an Ethnographic Study of Eritrean Refugees in Mekelle
    Running on Hope - Life as an Eritrean Refugee: An Ethnographic Study of Eritrean Refugees in Mekelle Gunn Berit Obrestad Master thesis submitted to Department of Social Anthropology University of Oslo May 2017 i © Gunn Berit Obrestad 2017 Running on Hope – Life as an Eritrean Refugee: An Ethnographic Study of Eritrean Refugees in Mekelle Gunn Berit Obrestad http://www.duo.uio.no/ University of Oslo: Reprosentralen ii Running on Hope - Life as an Eritrean Refugee: An Ethnographic Study of Eritrean Refugees in Mekelle iii I dedicate this thesis to a hope – a hope, in which we may all engage, that we transcend our fears and share this world. “Why don’t the boats that are saving the people in the water pick them up in Libya instead; instead of waiting until they are in the water. They know they are planning to go on the boats”- An Eritrean refugee. iv Abstract This thesis gives an account of some Eritrean refugees’ lives in Mekelle and their engagement with the future. My informants belonged to the Tigrinya-speaking group that straddle the border between Eritrea and Ethiopia. They were temporarily stuck in Ethiopia but most envisioned migrating further, to a place where they could picture a future. As a result, this thesis is both local and global in scope. I investigate how Eritrean refugees navigate the complex two-sided ambivalence in the relationship between themselves and the locals in Mekelle, through theoretical frameworks of borders, boundaries, reconciliation and social networks. I argue that the way my informants navigate the ambiguous relationship between themselves and the locals is best explained within a “dividual” and processual understanding of identity and the self.

    ETHIOPIA MONTHLY MARKET October WATCH 2011 ETHIOPIA MONTHLY MARKET WATCH October 2011 Highlights The Year to Year country level general and food inflation rate increased by 39.8% and 51.7% respectively. Cereal inflation rate increased by 63.1%. The Ethiopian Grain Trade Enterprise has started the sale of subsidised wheat to the urban consumers at US $ 321/mt which is far below the import parity and private traders’ retail prices. Maize, wheat and sorghum import parity prices remained the same at the elevated level with slight decline of 3% to 4% against last month. The local price at Addis Ababa stood below the import parity prices by 44% for maize, 19% higher for wheat and equivalent with sorghum price. In most monitored markets, retail prices of cereal showed a declining trend but still stood above last year the same time. The decreasing price is associated with the progression of upcoming Meher season harvest. The average price of shoat at Dire Dawa and Jijiga remained the same with slight changes but at Gode declined by 7%. However, the terms of trade remained the same due to marginal decline of cereal price. Special issues Subsidised wheat sale: The Government (Ethiopian Grain Trade Enterprise) has started the sale of imported wheat grain to urban consumers through the local level Government institution, kebele, particularly in the capital, Addis Ababa. The selling price of grain wheat is decided at US $ 321/mt at exchange rate of Birr 17.13 against US Dollar.
