  • Anticipating Violence Intelligently Functional Impacts of Integrating Intelligence Products Into Regional Conflict Early Warning Systems
    ANTICIPATING VIOLENCE INTELLIGENTLY FUNCTIONAL IMPACTS OF INTEGRATING INTELLIGENCE PRODUCTS INTO REGIONAL CONFLICT EARLY WARNING SYSTEMS AARON ELI VILLARRUEL MORA MASTER THESIS IN PEACE AND CONFLICT STUDIES DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF OSLO AUTUMN 2009 i To my family. The original and new members (You know who you are). ii Acknowledgements Ideas spawn projects that eventually become research. This case is not the exception. Even though the original idea and aims resulted from personal interests and wonder, this final product has been benefited from the worthy and constructing contributions of fellow scholars, institutional supports and personal belief in the endeavour. Without following an order of importance since any input has been instrumental in the stage it was received, I want to express my recognition and gratitude to those who deserve it. Thanks to Martin Austvoll Nome, to his patience, sincere involvement and methodological support in the early phase of this enquiry, the idea took shape and gained analytical precision for further development. My deep gratitude to Karin Dokken, whose sound, devoted and pleasant supervision, encouragement and time allowed the proper fulfilment of this thesis. Thank you for reminding me that in research the art of communication is equally as important as systematic investigation. I am grateful to the Conflict Early Warning and Response Mechanism of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development, for providing excellent working conditions and facilitating this study and my stay in Addis Ababa. Without the willingness and time of each of the key informants this analysis would have never been substantiated, thence I gratefully appreciate it. Thanks to fellow colleagues and friends Rasmus Christian Bering, Jakob Aasland Ravndal and Sébastien Miraglia-Yossen for your rhizomatic feedback and comments on early ideas and drafts.

DISCLAIMER This document is based on Ethiopia’s ‘pledge commitments’ made at the September 2016 Leaders’ Summit in New York as articulated and published in the Roadmap for the Implementation of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia Government Pledges and for the practical application of the CRRF in Ethiopia. Whilst this report endeavors to largely follow the format of the Roadmap, as with the 2018 reports, additional information is also offered where deemed relevant. This document is not a Government of Ethiopia (GoE) publication. Rather it responds to the requests of stakeholders to have some assessment of pledge implementation made available – relating directly to UNHCR’s expected ‘supportive and catalytic’ role in the Global Compact on Refugees / Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework (GCR/CRRF).

  • An Independent Review of UNHCR's Response to the Somali Refugee
    An Independent Review of UNHCR’s Response to the Somali Refugee Influx in Dollo Ado, Ethiopia, 2011 Conducted October to November 2012 by: Leah Richardson –NutritionWorks Partner Anne Bush – NutritionWorks Associate June 2013 Guido Ambroso – Evaluation Coordinator, PDES, UNHCR PDES/2013/07 1 Acknowledgements First and foremost the evaluation team would like to acknowledge the generosity of the Ethiopian Government for maintaining open borders and hosting large numbers of refugees on multiple different fronts. Without this spirit of compassion the Somali refugees in 2011 would have faced a far worse outcome. We also personally appreciate the cooperation and information we received within all levels of ARRA during this evaluation. The evaluation team would also like to acknowledge the excellent cooperation of the UNHCR Offices in Addis Ababa and Dollo Ado who were willing to act on all requests and facilitated the logistics for the mission in a very professional manner. It was through this cooperation that the evaluation team was able to interview so many people and gather so much information in a relatively short period of time. This report would not be possible without the participation of over eighty individuals from the humanitarian community who took time to meet with us, provide documents, and furnish us with valuable insight. The willingness to discuss honestly and openly was much appreciated and we would like to acknowledge the continued dedication of these individuals and their agencies. Last but not least, we would like to sincerely thank the refugees who met with us in Dollo Ado. We asked them to recount an extremely difficult and traumatic time in their past when children and relatives were lost, homes abandoned, and possessions scattered.

The rate of influx of refugees from Somalia has further declined since the beginning of September and on average less than 200 new arrivals are crossing the border from southern Somalia regions of Bay, Gedo and Bakool into Dolo Odo per day. Levels of acute malnutrition have improved in Dolo Odo since August, although the average GAM prevalence remains at roughly 34 percent across the camps.

    Studies and Reports Taxonomical Series 8 (1-2): 67-116, 2012 A check-list of the subfamily Panagaeinae Hope, 1838 of the World (Coleoptera: Carabidae) Martin HÄCKEL1) & Jan FARKAČ 2) 1) Faculty of Environmental Sciences, Czech University of Life Sciences, Kamýcká 1176, CZ-165 21 Prague 6, Czech Republic e-mail: [email protected] 2) Faculty of Forestry and Wood Sciences, Czech University of Life Sciences, Kamýcká 1176, CZ-165 21 Prague 6, Czech Republic e-mail: farkac@fl d.czu.cz Checklist, Coleoptera, Carabidae, Panagaeinae, world distribution Abstract. In this checklist of the subfamily Panagaeinae (Coleoptera: Carabidae) we summarize taxonomic data including synonyms, type localities and geographic distributions of all listed species described up to July 2012. The subfamily (or according to various authors “group of tribes“) includes in this work the following tribes: Bascanini Basilewsky, 1953a, Brachygnathini Basilewsky, 1946, Panagaeini Bonelli, 1810 and Peleciini Chaudoir, 1880, together divided into 29 genera and 375 species. INTRODUCTION The family Carabidae (Coleoptera: Adephaga) contains more than 35 000 species and is one of the most successful groups of beetles found in all geographic regions and environments with the exception of polar areas. After a positive response to the catalogue of the tribe Broscini Hope, 1838 (Häckel, Farkač & Wrase 2010), we decided to continue publishing such catalogues and chose next to compile another less frequented subfamily, the Panagaeinae Hope, 1838. The species of this subfamily inhabit mainly tropical regions (Ethiopian, Neotropical, Oriental and tropical part of Australia), but distributions of some representatives of the tribe Panagaeini Bonelli, 1810 (namely the genera Dischissus, Micrixys, Microcosmodes, Panagaeus, Peronomerus and Tinoderus) often extend into the Holarctic region, with the highest diversity outside of the tropics recorded in the eastern part of the Palearctic subregion.
