Oromia is the largest National Regional State of Ethiopia. Here we present the first comprehensive checklist of its birds. A total of 804 bird species has been recorded, 601 of them confirmed (443) or assumed (158) to be breeding birds. At least 561 are all-year residents (and 31 more potentially so), at least 73 are Afrotropical migrants and visitors (and 44 more potentially so), and 184 are Palaearctic migrants and visitors (and eight more potentially so). Three species are endemic to Oromia, 18 to Ethiopia and 43 to the Horn of Africa. 170 Oromia bird species are biome restricted: 57 to the Afrotropical Highlands biome, 95 to the Somali-Masai biome, and 18 to the Sudan-Guinea Savanna biome.

  • Ethiopia: West Guji – Gedeo Conflict Displacement Flash Update 2
    Ethiopia: West Guji – Gedeo Conflict Displacement Flash Update 2 22 May 2018 Highlights • A rapid assessment conducted in Gedeo zone (SNNPR) found that at least 274,5481 people were displaced from West Guji (Oromia) to Gedeo zone following the violence that erupted along the regional boundary in mid-April. Some 84,000 people were also displaced in West Guji zone. More than 4,000 houses were reportedly burnt down or damaged in West Guji and livelihoods destroyed. • Official reports indicate that as of early May, 102,593 people of the 274,548 people displaced in Gedeo were returned to their villages in West Guji zone • The Government, the local community and civil society were the first and main responders to date, with sup- port from few partners. Significant gaps in food, shelter, NFI and WaSH are reported • Although there were no reported health outbreaks so far, AWD, scabies and measles are potential health risks due to the use of water from unsafe sources, open defecation, overcrowded shelter and sharing of clothes. The overcrowded shelter conditions within hosting households also present protection concerns. Dara Sidama Dila I.

Abstract The study was conducted to identify major causes of total organs condemnation in cattle slaughtered at Hawassa city municipal abattoir and to estimate the associated direct financial losses. To this effect, a cross sectional active abattoir survey was conducted on 609 cattle from October 2015 to April 2016. During ante mortem examination, various types of abnormalities were detected in 39 (6.4%) cattle which includes rough hair coat 8(1.3%), teeth grinding 7(1.2%), dyspnea 5(0.8%), diarrhea 5(0.8%), lameness 4(0.7%), nasal discharge 2(0.3%), blindness 2(0.3%), early LSD signs 2(0.3%), dry muzzle 2(0.3%), paraphimosis 1(0.2%) and gangrenous testis 1(0.2%).

  • The State of Human Rights in Ethiopia Was Very Critical of What She Observed During Her Visit to Ethiopia
    EPRDF on the 46th Session of the African Commission on Human and Peoples Rights (ACHPR) News release by Ethio-Horn Discourse EPRDF’s top ambassador at its mission in Geneva, Fisseha Yimer, was bombarded with blasting questions by the commissioners at the 46th Session of the African Commission on Human and Peoples Rights (ACHPR) that is currently in session in Banjul, Gambia. Mr. Fisseha was confronted with tough questions after he presented the EPRDF’s record on human rights. Before Fisseha’s deliberation, a Shadow Report had earlier been circulated to the eleven commissioners by the Holland-based NGO called Ethio- Horn Discourse founded by Ethiopians in Holland. (See below) According to Article 62 of the ACHPR, governments have to present periodic report to the Commission every two years. Many governments did not heed to this rule, only six have done so far. The EPRDF representing Ethiopia, the seat of the OAU and later AU was expected to set the example in many respects. Not only on issues of human rights, but also on general issues of development as well, Ethiopia has lagged behind all the countries of Africa save four or five. It was for the first time that the EPRDF government presented its report since the formation of the ACHPR in 1986. The ACHPR has a clear guideline on how to present a report to the commission. The EPRDF report did not stick to these guidelines and instead dwelt on the Constitution, government structure and power relations within the various structures of government as well as on issues of ‘economic development’.
