  • The Surveillance of Ethiopian Women Athletes for Capital
    Tracking Work from the Wrist: The Surveillance of Ethiopian Women Athletes for Capital Hannah Borenstein Duke University [email protected] Abstract This essay explores the proliferating uses of GPS watches among women athletes in Ethiopia. Aspiring and successful long-distance runners have been using GPS watches in increasing numbers over the past several years, rendering their training trackable for themselves, partners, coaches, sponsors, and agents located in the Global North. This essay explores how the transnational dimensions of the athletics industry renders their training data profitable to systems of capitalist accumulation while exploring how athletes put the emerging technologies to work to aid in their pursuit of succeeding in the sport and work of running. New Metrics In 2013, when I was first living with young sub-elite athletes at a training camp in Ethiopia, nearly all runners wore basic digital watches. Casio was the leading brand, but any watch that had a time setting, a few alarms, and, crucially, the start-stop function, was a critical instrument for long-distance running aspirants. Watches that could record splits—different intervals of training—were coveted, but by no means the norm. Thus, the metric that everyone used to discuss training was time. Recovery runs were spoken about in terms of hours run: “one- Borenstein, Hannah. 2021. “Tracking Work from the Wrist: Surveillance of Ethiopian Women Athletes for Capital.” Catalyst: Feminism, Theory, Technoscience 7 (1): 1–20. http://www.catalystjournal.org | ISSN: 2380-3312 © Hannah Borenstein, 2021 | Licensed to the Catalyst Project under a Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial No Derivatives license Special Section: Self-Tracking, Embodied Differences, and the Politics and Ethics of Health twenty.” Speed sessions were broken down into minutes: “we did three minutes by eight with sixty seconds rest.” Athletes knew that this would need to be converted to kilometers for their performances, but conversations about training were discussed in terms of time.

  • Kanhaiya Kumar Singh a PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS STUDY of ETHIOPIAN FOOTBALL DURING 2008-2018 Dr. Kanhaiya Kumar Singh, Assistant
    International Journal of Physical Education, Health and Social Science (IJPEHSS) ISSN: 2278 – 716X www.ijpehss.org Vol. 7, Issue 1, (2018) Peer Reviewed, Indexed and UGC Approved Journal (48531) Impact Factor 5.02 A PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS STUDY OF ETHIOPIAN FOOTBALL DURING 2008-2018 Dr. Kanhaiya Kumar Singh, Assistant Professor Sports Academy, Bahirdar University, Ethiopia ABSTRACT The purpose of the study was to analyse the overall journey of Ethiopian National football at international level as well domestic level in last decade. In order to analyse the fact observation method has been used to collect data. Finding of the study reflects that Ethiopian national football is losing its position and credibility continuously in the last decade. It might be happened due to some socio-political issue the Ethiopian football federation, moreover for FIFA2014 Ethiopian national football team scored total 12 goals and conceded 21 goals and reached up to first qualifying round then Nigeria went to FIFA World Cup 2014. Further for FIFA 2018 (Russia), Ethiopian National Team reached up to second qualifying round and eliminated by COGO. Ethiopian Domestic football leagues are Premier League, Higher League and National League conducted every year, it is important to note that 70% winning position in Premier League went to one team i.e., Saint Gorge FC and rest 30% goes to other 15 playing teams. It clearly shows the lack of competitive balance in the most famous domestic league of a country. At the continent level in Champions League Country best domestic team scored 18th Rank out of 59 teams. In Super League (Winner of Champions League v/s Winners of Confederation Cup) Ethiopian football team has not seen anywhere.

DOUBLE ENGAGEMENTS: THE TRANSNATIONAL EXPERIENCES OF ETHIOPIAN IMMIGRANTS IN THE WASHINGTON, D.C., METROPOLITAN AREA ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the transnational experiences of Ethiopian immigrants in the Washington metropolitan area across generational units. Much of the recent research on transnationalism has focused on the ties immigrants maintain in the sending country. This dissertation adds to this analysis by looking at how the actions of Ethiopian immigrants contribute to nation building in the United States as well as in Ethiopia. The double engagements of Ethiopians challenge either/or views of immigrants and demonstrates how transnationality works in both directions. My research, based on 12 months of fieldwork in the metropolitan area of Washington, D.C., used participant observation, interviews, life histories and extended conversations to provide the first comprehensive study of first- and second-generation Ethiopian migrants using the transnational perspective.

Although Ethiopia is not one of Africa's leading football countries, it has created several outstanding teams at both club and international level, as well as talented individual players. The early yearsFutball in Ethiopia came under the control of the Ethiopian Football Federation (EFF) when the organization was founded in 1943. EFF, affiliated with FIFA in 1953 and the Confederation of African Football in 1957. The Football League was in existence before the formation of the EFF with regional leagues contested during the 1938/39 and 1939/40 seasons in the provinces of Eritrea, Harar, Amhara, Shoah and Oromia - Cidamo under the Italian occupation. The first recognized version of the Ethiopian Premier League was challenged in 1944, when five teams representing different communities of Addis Ababa competed for the title won by the British Military Mission-BMME. The Ethiopian Cup was added the following year and has been regularly contested since then (albeit with some gaps, especially in the 1960s). Modern Football League has been an annual competition since 1948 with St George FC becoming the country's leading club with 24 titles. Ethiopia was suspended by FIFA in 2008 after the Federal Parliament assembly dismissed Esmebir Woldegirgis as EFF president and replaced him with his candidate Ahmed Yasin. As a result, FIFA, speaking out against state interference in football, suspended the country in July 2008. The suspension was lifted in July 2009 following the election of new EFF leaders.

  • ABOUT ETHIOPIA History Ethiopia Is a Country Beset by Years of War, Severe Drought and Epidemics
    ABOUT ETHIOPIA history Ethiopia is a country beset by years of war, severe drought and epidemics. It has been crippled economically and socially, and has fought for years to regain its footing. As one of the oldest countries in the world, Ethiopia is Africa’s second most populous nation. Historically known as a relatively isolated country, by the mid-twentieth century Ethiopia became a major hub for global trade. In 1945, Ethiopia became one of the 51 original members of the United Nations. The country is infamous for its devastating famine in 1984, which left more than one million people dead, and called into question its leaders, social system and political climate. Finally, in 1991, Ethiopia’s long-standing regime—who many blamed for the famine—was overthrown and a constitution was adopted three years later. In 1995, Ethiopia’s first multiparty elections were held. Today, Ethiopia has the ourthf fastest-growing economy in the world (according to The Economist) and has been one of the fastest growing, non-oil-dependent African nations. country information • Time: GMT/UTC +3. Ethiopians use the Ethiopian calendar, which dates back to the Coptic calendar in 25 BC. One Ethiopian year consists of 12 months, each lasting 30 days, plus a thirteenth month of five or six days. They are seven to eight years behind our calendar. The 12-hour clock cycles do not begin at midnight and noon, but instead are offset sixours. h The first hour of daylight is 1. • Population: 85 million • Area: 1,104,300 sq. km. • Capital: Addis Ababa (means “New Flower”)
