  • The Role of Indigenous Languages in Southern Sudan: Educational Language Policy and Planning
    The Role of Indigenous Languages in Southern Sudan: Educational Language Policy and Planning H. Wani Rondyang A thesis submitted to the Institute of Education, University of London, for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2007 Abstract This thesis aims to questions the language policy of Sudan's central government since independence in 1956. An investigation of the root causes of educational problems, which are seemingly linked to the current language policy, is examined throughout the thesis from Chapter 1 through 9. In specific terms, Chapter 1 foregrounds the discussion of the methods and methodology for this research purposely because the study is based, among other things, on the analysis of historical documents pertaining to events and processes of sociolinguistic significance for this study. The factors and sociolinguistic conditions behind the central government's Arabicisation policy which discourages multilingual development, relate the historical analysis in Chapter 3 to the actual language situation in the country described in Chapter 4. However, both chapters are viewed in the context of theoretical understanding of language situation within multilingualism in Chapter 2. The thesis argues that an accommodating language policy would accord a role for the indigenous Sudanese languages. By extension, it would encourage the development and promotion of those languages and cultures in an essentially linguistically and culturally diverse and multilingual country. Recommendations for such an alternative educational language policy are based on the historical and sociolinguistic findings in chapters 3 and 4 as well as in the subsequent discussions on language policy and planning proper in Chapters 5, where theoretical frameworks for examining such issues are explained, and Chapters 6 through 8, where Sudan's post-independence language policy is discussed.

Michael Bryant, Kite Siralugu. Introduction This Suri-Amharic-English/English-Suri Dictionary contains around 1400 Suri words which are organized in alphabetical order and includes mainly the words describing the lifestyle, traditions etc. of the Suri people. It is hoped that this dictionary will be helpful for many people: those of any age who are learning about the Suri language and culture; for anyone doing translation from or into the Suri language; and for the Suri themselves who may desire to learn Amharic or English. Any improvements and suggestions would be appreciated. Suri Translation Project P.O. Box 2576 Addis Ababa Acknowledgments The Suri Translation Project is a project of the Ethiopian Evangelical Church Mekane Yesus in cooperation with SIL Ethiopia. We want to thank the many Suri speakers who helped us with the editing of the dictionary.

  • Alternative Citizenship the Nuer Between Ethiopia and the Sudan ABORNE Workshop on Sudan’S Borders, April 2011 Dereje Feyissa
    Alternative citizenship The Nuer between Ethiopia and the Sudan ABORNE Workshop on Sudan’s Borders, April 2011 Dereje Feyissa Abstract A lot has been written about state borders as constraints to local populations who are often ‘artificially’ split into two and at times more national states (Asiwaju 1985; Kolossov 2005). The Nuer, like many other pastoral communities arbitrarily divided by a state border, have experienced the Ethio-Sudanese border as a constraint, in as much as they were cut off from wet season villages in the Sudan and dry season camps in Ethiopia. As recent literature on the border has shown, however, state borders function not only as constraints but also as opportunities (Nugent 2002), and even as ‘resources’ (Dereje and Hohene 2010). The paper examines how the Nuer have positively signified state border by tapping into - taking advantage of their cross-border settlements -fluctuating opportunity structures within the Ethiopian and Sudanese states through alternative citizenship. Nuer strategic action is reinforced by a flexible identity system within which border-crossing is a norm. Sudan's Southeastern frontier: The Toposa and their Neighbours (abstract) The Topòsa and some of their neighbours have long been among the groups in particular remoteness from the political and economic metabolism of the state system. Until recently, the borders of the Sudan with three other nations, Uganda, Kenya and Ethiopia, that touch on their area could be considered mere notions and lines on maps of another world. This situation has substantially changed since the 2nd Sudanese Civil War – and with it the meaning of terms like “their area”.

  • Tourism and Its Discontents. Suri–Tourist Encounters in Southern Ethiopia*
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by DSpace at VU JON ABBINK Tourism and its discontents. Suri–tourist encounters in southern Ethiopia* Tourism as an ‘avant-garde’ of globalisation Tourism is big business – the biggest in the world. Apart from its economic aspects, the social and cultural impact of tourist activity on local societies and places deserve attention. Tourism exchanges are predominantly about the production and valuation of images and ‘exotopic’ experiences (Harkin 1995). In its present, late twentieth-cen- tury form, tourism is the expression of a particular kind of consumer identity with a global, and globalising, impact. It emanates largely from societies that are relatively powerful and wealthy. Communities and places visited by tourists often undergo unforeseen changes due to the visitor’s unrelenting presence. While both positive (Boissevain 1986: Bruner and Kirshenblatt-Gimblett 1994) and negative aspects (cf. Sindiga 1996, Peake 1989) can be recognised, in most cases an essentially ‘transforma- tive’ role of the exchanges between tourists and locals is notable, though these need more extensive study in emerging contexts of globalisation (here defined as a trans- formative process of intensified contacts – via mass and electronic media and migration – between human collectivities and communities in the economic, political and cultural domains, forging new and more pervasive interrelations and dependency between social and cultural units of varying scale). This article is a reflection on the encounter of foreign tourists with the Surma or Suri1 people of southern Ethiopia, a relatively small ethnic group only recently ‘dis- covered’ by the tourist industry.

  • Forgotten Tribes of Ethiopia
    Forgotten Tribes of Ethiopia Come with us on this wild journey that takes you through some of the most remote parts of Africa and to the most incredible tribes in Ethiopia; the Surma & Mursi. Ethiopia is a country that is rich with colourful history, amazing wildlife, breathtaking scenery and fascinating tribal groups that have resisted pressures of the modern world to hold onto their ancient traditions. The Surma tribe are so remote that it can take up to five days to reach them by car, stop at various sites along the way to enjoy the magnificent landscape of Africa with rolling hills and barren deserts. Explore Addis Ababa, the largest city in Ethiopia and home of the ‘Mercato’ one of the largest open- air markets in Africa. Discover Mago National Park, Ethiopia’s newest nature reserve and home to the Mursi tribe and herds of African Elephants, Grant ’s gazelle and Burchill’s Zebra. The Mursi are known for their body scarification and (among the women) the wearing of lip plates. If you’re lucky, you will get the chance to witness the coming of age ritual practised by this tribe of bull jumping. Day 1 - Arrive in Addis Ababa Welcome to Ethiopia! Upon arrival in Addis, you will be met and transferred to your hotel. The name of the city, in Amharic, means ‘new flower’. Founded in 1886 by Menelik II, it is located at 2,500 metres above sea level in one of the highest parts of the Entoto mountain chain (3,000 metres above sea level). Addis enjoys an excellent climate all year round, with an average temperature of 25°C.
