  • Starving Tigray
    Starving Tigray How Armed Conflict and Mass Atrocities Have Destroyed an Ethiopian Region’s Economy and Food System and Are Threatening Famine Foreword by Helen Clark April 6, 2021 ABOUT The World Peace Foundation, an operating foundation affiliated solely with the Fletcher School at Tufts University, aims to provide intellectual leadership on issues of peace, justice and security. We believe that innovative research and teaching are critical to the challenges of making peace around the world, and should go hand-in- hand with advocacy and practical engagement with the toughest issues. To respond to organized violence today, we not only need new instruments and tools—we need a new vision of peace. Our challenge is to reinvent peace. This report has benefited from the research, analysis and review of a number of individuals, most of whom preferred to remain anonymous. For that reason, we are attributing authorship solely to the World Peace Foundation.

Cover photo: A Tigrayan child at the refugee registration center near Kassala, Sudan Starving Tigray | I FOREWORD The calamitous humanitarian dimensions of the conflict in Tigray are becoming painfully clear. The international community must respond quickly and effectively now to save many hundreds of thou- sands of lives. The human tragedy which has unfolded in Tigray is a man-made disaster. Reports of mass atrocities there are heart breaking, as are those of starvation crimes.

According to Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey 2011 report, the total fertility rate is decreasing from 5.5 children in 2000 to 4.8 in 2011. However, the rate of decline has been very slow as compared to the developed world. Thus, the objective of this study was to determine the magnitude and factors associated with high fertility among ever married women aged 25-49 years in Northern Ethiopia. Methods: A community based cross-sectional study was conducted on randomly selected 531 subjects in Enderta district using an interviewer administered questionnaire. A multistage sampling technique was used to draw the study participants. Data were collected using a pretested and structured questionnaire from March 10-19/2013. The study participants’ fertility was categorized as high and low. The collected data were coded, entered, and cleaned.

  • Conflict and Alternative Dispute Resolution Among the Afar Pastoralists of Ethiopia
    African Journal of History and Culture (AJHC) Vol. 3(3), pp. 38-47, April 2011 Available online at http://www.academicjournals.org/AJHC ISSN 2141-6672 ©2011 Academic Journals Full Length Research Paper Conflict and alternative dispute resolution among the Afar pastoralists of Ethiopia Kelemework Tafere Reda Mekelle University, P. O. Box 175, Mekelle, Ethiopia. E-mail: Kelem40@yahoo.com. Fax: +251 344 407610. Accepted 28 March, 2011 A study was conducted on institutions of conflict resolution in the Northern Afar administration. The main objective was to examine alternative mechanisms of peace-making with a prime focus on informal indigenous structures. An attempt was made to assess such institutions vis-à-vis changing circumstances in the political and socio-economic arena. The paper found out that, following disputes, people seem keen not to prolong hostilities that may eventually divide community members in blood feuds. Thus, elders and community leaders converge to discuss matters pertinent to stability thereby allowing disputes to subside. The Afar have local assemblies through which inter-clan conflicts are sorted out and thoroughly addressed. The local assemblies function as indigenous courts whose rules emanate from shared norms and mutually binding value systems. The traditional institutions maintain symbiotic relations with modern administrative and legal machineries. The prevalence of a complementary rather than competitive relations between the state and traditional system has contributed to the resilience and continued influence of the latter. The paper concludes that while the indigenous system is an efficient means of dealing with conflicts in the study area, an integration of the traditional and modern systems is needed for sustainable peace in the future.

  • The Route Most Traveled: the Afar Salt Trail, North Ethiopia1
    Volumen 51, N° 1, 2019. Páginas Páginas 95-110 Chungara Revista de Antropología Chilena THE ROUTE MOST TRAVELED: THE AFAR SALT TRAIL, NORTH ETHIOPIA1 LA RUTA MÁS TRANSITADA: EL SENDERO DE LA SAL DE AFAR, NORTE DE ETIOPÍA Helina S. Woldekiros2 In Africa and elsewhere, scholars have demonstrated that early social, political, and economic structures were shaped by salt production, distribution, and long-distance trade in areas where salt was a critical resource. However, despite salt’s significant role in developing these structures, archaeological studies of the salt trade have focused almost exclusively on artifacts and historical text references. As a result, data on the diverse and complex routes through which this important commodity has traveled and the nature of its transportation are lacking. This paper examines evidence of ancient Aksumite (400 BC–900 AD) salt trade and exchange from the lowland Ethiopian deserts to the North Ethiopian and Eritrean highlands, drawing on recent ethnoarchaeological and archaeological fieldwork conducted in the Danakil Desert and Aksumite towns. The data reveal that the Afar salt trail passes through diverse regional ecozones, highland trader towns, and foothill towns, via several highland routes and one major lowland route. The study shows that caravaners followed the least costly path on the highland portion of the route, with ideal slopes for pack travel and plentiful water sources. The study also describes ancient caravan campsites dating to ca. 5th century CE and shows that participants differed in religion and identity. Key words: Salt caravan, Aksumite trade, Africa, ethnoarchaeology. En África como en otros lugares, los investigadores han demostrado que estructuras políticas, sociales y económicas tempranas fueron moldeadas por la producción de sal así como por su distribución y comercio de larga distancia en áreas donde la sal era un recurso crítico.
