This and the next chapter (chapter 9) deal with inter-regional conflicts between the study regions and their neighbours. The federal restructuring carried out by dismantling the old unitary structure of the country led to territorial and boundary disputes. Unlike the older federations created by the union of independent units, which among other things have stable boundaries, creating a federation through federal restructuring leads to controversies and in some cases to violent conflicts. In the Ethiopian case, violent conflicts accompany the process of intra-federal boundary making. Inter-regional boundaries that divide the Somali region from its neighbours (Oromia and Afar) are ill defined and there are violent conflicts along these borders. In some cases, resource conflicts involving Somali, Afar and Oromo clans transformed into more protracted boundary and territorial conflicts. As will be discussed in this chapter, inter-regional boundary making also led to the re-examination of ethnic identity.

  • Women in Conflict and Indigenous Conflict Resolution Among the Issa and Gurgura Clans of Somali in Eastern Ethiopia
    Women in conflict and indigenous conflict resolution among the Issa and Gurgura clans of Somali in Eastern Ethiopia Bamlaku Tadesse, Yeneneh Tesfaye and Fekadu Beyene* Abstract This article tries to show the impacts of conflict on women, the role of women in conflict and indigenous conflict resolution, and the participation of women in social institutions and ceremonies among the Issa and Gurgura clans of the Somali ethnic group. It explores the system of conflict resolution in these clans, and women’s representation in the system. The primary role of women in the formation of social capital through marriage and blood relations between different clans or ethnic groups is assessed. The paper focuses on some of the important elements of the socio-cultural settings of the study community that are in one way or another related to conflict and indigenous conflict resolution mechanisms. It also examines the positive aspects of marriage practices in the formation of social capital which strengthens friendship and unity instead of enmity. * Mr Bamlaku Tadesse has an M.A. in Social Anthropology and is Head of the Department of Gender and Development at the Institute of Pastoral and Agro-Pastoral Studies, Haramaya University, Dire-Dawa, Ethiopia. Mr Yeneneh Tesfaye also has an M.A. in Social Anthropology and works in the Department of Rural Development and Agricultural Extension at the College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences, Haramaya University.

The rail link is of utter significance both to Ethiopia and to Djibouti, as it would not only renovate this tiny African nation into a multimodal transport hub but also will provide competitive advantage over other regional ports. The pre-feasibility study conducted in 2007 emphasized the importance of the renovation of the project from economic and financial angle. However, as a part of GTP of Ethiopia this project has been restored with Chinese intervention. The operation expected in 2016. The proposed project is likely to provide multiple benefits such as time saving, reduction in road maintenance costs, fuel savings, employment generation, reduction in pollution, foreign exchange earnings and revenue generation. These benefits will accrue to government, passengers, general public and to society in nutshell. Here an economic analysis has been carried out to evaluate certain benefits that the project will realize against the cost streams in 25 years. The NPV of the cost streams @ 12% calculated to be 6831.30 million US$. The economic internal rate of return of investments will be 18.90 percent.

  • Places of Detention
    ICRC The ICRC is present in Ethiopia since the beginning of the 1977 Ethio-Somalia armed conflict. Its current major activities in the country are visiting places of detention so as to ensure both the treatment and conditions of detainees and helping people with physical disabilities (PWDs) get access to quality and sustainable physical rehabilitation services. It also works closely with the Ethiopian Red Cross Society (ERCS) to restore family links among people separated by armed conflict and other situations of violence and provides assistance mainly to people displaced by conflict. The ICRC also promotes the knowledge of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) among members of defense and polices forces as well as higher learning institutions. In 2020, the ICRC’s humanitarian activities mainly focused on responses to two major crises caused by COVID-19 outbreak and fighting in northern Ethiopia. The ICRC had rapidly adapted to the evolving reality of the outbreak of the coronavirus in the country and had stepped up its response to the crisis integrating COVID-19 as an important new parameter in its operations. In response to the humanitarian crisis caused as a result of the fighting in northern Ethiopia since early November, the ICRC had quickly scaled up its response in delivering medicine and medical supplies to health facilities, which were badly affected by shortage of supplies and reconnecting the families with their relatives in Tigray. Moreover, the ICRC and ERCS jointly provided emergency relief and water to the affected communities, including to internally displaced persons. PLACES OF DETENTION From January to December 2020, the ICRC: Visited nearly 72,000 detainees and followed up 242 detainees individually.

  • Knowledge of Obstetric Danger Signs and Associated Factors Among
    Maseresha et al. BMC Women's Health (2016) 16:30 DOI 10.1186/s12905-016-0309-3 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Knowledge of obstetric danger signs and associated factors among pregnant women in Erer district, Somali region, Ethiopia Nebiyu Maseresha1, Kifle Woldemichael2 and Lamessa Dube2* Abstract Background: Knowledge of danger signs of obstetric complications is first step in the appropriate and timely referral to essential obstetric care. Although women’s knowledge about the obstetric danger signs is important for improving maternal and child health, little is known about the current knowledge and influencing factors in pastoral community of Ethiopia. This study, therefore, aims to fill this gap by assessing the current level of knowledge and associated factors of pregnant women living in Erer district of Somali region, Ethiopia. Methods: A community based, cross-sectional study was conducted from April 7 to 21, 2014. The study involved 666 pregnant women residing in the district. Two-stage sampling technique was used to select the study subjects. Data about women’s socio-demographic information, reproductive history, knowledge of the danger signs, exposure to media and interventions were collected by interviewer administered questionnaires. A respondent who spontaneously mentioned at least two of the danger signs during each of the three periods was considered knowledgeable; otherwise not. Descriptive, bivariate, then multivariable logistic regression were done. Results: Six hundred thirty two pregnant women were interviewed with a response rate of 94.9 %. Only 98 (15. 5 %) respondents were knowledgeable about obstetric danger signs. Urban residence [AOR = 2.43; 95 % CI (1.40, 4.21)], women who had been pregnant five or more times [AOR = 6.65; 95 % CI (2.48, 17.89)] and antenatal care utilization [AOR = 5.44; 95 % CI (3.26, 9.09)] were associated with being knowledgeable about obstetric danger signs during pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum.

Schutz Edition Open Access Development Team Lindy Divarci, Sylvia Szenti, Klaus Thoden The Edition Open Access (EOA) platform was founded to bring together publication ini­ tiatives seeking to disseminate the results of scholarly work in a format that combines tra­ ditional publications with the digital medium. It currently hosts the open­access publica­ tions of the “Max Planck Research Library for the History and Development of Knowledge” (MPRL) and “Edition Open Sources” (EOS). EOA is open to host other open access initia­ tives similar in conception and spirit, in accordance with the Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the sciences and humanities, which was launched by the Max Planck Society in 2003. By combining the advantages of traditional publications and the digital medium, the platform offers a new way of publishing research and of studying historical topics or current issues in relation to primary materials that are otherwise not easily available. The volumes are available both as printed books and as online open access publications. They are directed at scholars and students of various disciplines, as well as at a broader public interested in how science shapes our world.
