Dubale Admasu, the Pastoralist and Livestock Program Coordinator from USAID played an instrumental role in developing the mission and USAID provided the funding. The tireless efforts of Theodros Jimma from Save the Children-US in Negele Borana and Zinabu Bora from the Oromia Pastoral Area Development Commission were vital components of the mission. They worked many long days in planning and coordination efforts to assure everything was organized, everyone was working together and all logistical needs were met. They should both be commended for their efforts and accomplishments in taking prescribed fire training and implementation to the next level in Ethiopia. The participants in the workshop should all be recognized for their commitment to improving the lives of the pastoral communities and their eagerness and ability to become skilled at using prescribed fire as a tool to improve rangeland health. The team collected information and advice from many sources that assisted greatly in the accomplishment of the mission. Thanks go participants from previous missions, professors and staff from the Forestry College at Wondo Genet, Peace Corp volunteers, other member s of the USFS mission (and their supervisors at the USFS that allowed them to participate) and other in country professionals. Lastly, the drivers deserve our gratitude for going above and beyond expectations to not only get us where we needed to be, but to assist in logistical support, communications and day to day operations. Photo 2: Did-Xuyura Prescribed Burn near Yabello, March 2012. 3 Executive Summary- A group of prescribed fire specialists from the United States Forest Service travelled to Ethiopia in January through March of 2012 to provide training on prescribed fire planning, implementation and monitoring. The objective of the prescribed fire mission was a scaling up of prescribed burning practice in Borana and Guji Zones; to strengthen capacities of communities, NGO’s and government partners in prescribed fire implementation and planning. The training built on training provided in previous missions and served to scale up capacities for prescribed fire implementation and planning. One prescribed fire “train the trainer” workshop was held in Negele Borana to prepare instructors. Two subsequent prescribed fire workshops, one in Negele Borana and one in Yabelo, were held using those trainers as primary instructors. There were 18 participants involved in the train the trainer workshop, 35 participants involved in following workshops and ~95 community members involved in the implementation of prescribed burns. Implementation of prescribed fire was completed on 111 hectares in 4 different communities. For future missions and burns, a list of individuals with Rx Fire training and implementation skills is in Annex 4. Table 1: 2012 Accomplishments compared to 2011. Note- After the 2011 mission, 25 additional hectares were burned near Negele without the support of USFS specialists. 2012 Workshop Negele Negele Yabello 2012 2011 Summary Train the Workshop Workshop Total Total Trainer Workshop Workshop 18 25 10 53 28 Participants Community ~75 ~20 ~95 ~25 Members Participating Sites Burned 3 1 4 1 Hectares Burned 91 20 111 25 The significant steps forward that were achieved in the program this year were: - Much of the classroom training was planned and taught by Ethiopian instructors (under the direction of USFS specialists), whereas in the past, all instruction was provided by USFS specialists. - Participation in the workshops included community members whereas in the past all participants were from NGO’s or government. - A larger number of sites (4) and larger area (approximately 111 hectares) was treated than has been treated in the past. - Ethiopian instructors assumed all leadership roles during the prescribed fire implementation and USFS personnel acted as advisors. 4 Significant findings and recommendations include: Future USFS Prescribed Fire Missions are recommended continuing to use similar workshop approaches. Future prescribed fire workshops should utilize Ethiopian specialists as trainers. USFS prescribed fire specialists do not need to be present at each prescribed fire implementation; however, their presence as advisors will benefit the participants and the implementation, especially on more complex burns. A cadre of capable instructors has been built up for basic prescribed fire workshops. USFS prescribed fire specialists do not need to be present at every workshop, but their being there as advisors will still be very helpful. Any larger workshops, advanced workshops or train the trainer workshops should have USFS prescribed fire specialists involved. Monitoring efforts, both qualitative and quantitative, should continue so as to assess the effects of prescribed fire implementation. Utilize the planning efforts (Table 1) that took place during the 2012 workshops to plan and support training and implementation efforts in 2013/2014. Continue to support the use of prescribed fire by providing specialized equipment. Photo 3: Oda-Yabi Prescribed Burn three months after treatment in March of 2011. 5 Background and Context- Historically, prescribed fire has been extensively used as a rangeland management tool in Southern Ethiopia. Pastoral communities used prescribed fire to maintain grassland savannas for forage production and other benefits. Governmental restrictions caused prescribed burning to be halted in the 1970’s and that has led to an increase in brush encroachment and a decrease in rangeland health. The Pastoralist Livelihood Initiative (PLI) is working to return the responsible use of fire to the pastoral communities. The USFS has been sending teams to Ethiopia since 2006 to assist in the reintroduction of fire as a rangeland management tool. The trip reports from these missions are available through USFS International Programs1 Prescribed fire is a valuable tool that can be utilized by the pastoral communities to maintain healthy rangelands.

  • 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’.

  • Comment on Melbaa Gada, Author of “Oromia, an Introduction to the History of the Oromoo People”
    1 Comment on Melbaa Gada, Author of “Oromia, an Introduction to the History of the Oromoo People”. (by Tefera Dinberu) This comment is in regards to Melbaa Gadaa’s book on Oromia that was published in Minnesota in 1988 on the history of the Oromoo people. The objective of my comment is to help Melbaa and other thinkers like him see history with all its vices and virtues and intellectually project the destiny of Oromoo people in the future in relation to the rest of Ethiopians and what we can contribute for justice to prevail for the well-being of all peoples in that part of Africa. The book is his second edition. The author has gathered information from many different sources – oral, his own experience or observation, professional/historical sources, and non-history sources. Melbaa relied more on some foreign sources and seems to have refrained from referring to domestic sources that he must have been familiar with. Any ways, I will try to dwell on the general scheme of his book as a whole by specifying some major points entertained in the book as follows:- Regarding the source of Oromoo people, Huntingford says, “It is clear that the first African homeland of the Galla was what is now British Somaliland and northwestern Somalia, to which their own traditions bring them … It was the Somali settlement that drove the Galla to the west and south west” (Huntingford 19). Melbaa used this book as a reference; however, he did not mention this point. He holds that Ethiopian governments used to believe that Oromoo people were foreigners who migrated to this country.
