  • Memo on Violence in South Omo Areas, SNNPRS, Ethiopia (October 2019): a Call for Preventive Action and Rule of Law
    Memo on violence in South Omo areas, SNNPRS, Ethiopia (October 2019): a call for preventive action and rule of law Concerned Scholars Ethiopia (CSE) 25 October 2019 1. Since the 2018 change of government and the significant and promising reform process in Ethiopia, not all regions and peoples have fared equally well. While the policies of the new, Nobel Laureate PM Abiy Ahmed and his government hold out hope for millions and have bought very meaningful, positive changes, developments on the local level in ‘peripheral’ regions outside the purview of the Federal government are not yet addressed. Scores of people – including those of ethnic minority groups - are suffering of displacement, killings, and discrimination – all issues that are not in line with the new ethos of democratic reform and human rights respect. 2. The present Memo calls attention to the situation in the South Omo Region - as emblematic for more general problems that play out in some areas of the Southern Regional State (SNNPRS), in Beni Shangul-Gumuz, Gambela and possibly other Regional States of Ethiopia. 3. The prime cases at hand here are that of the ‘Bodi’ people (self-name: Me’en, with two sub-divisions: Mela and Chirim) in South Omo Zone (since 2nd week of September), and the Mursi people in South Omo Zone (since 29 September 2019, through to 13 October). Since 20 October there are also indications of additional instability in the Dima area (southwest of Mizan town) that has led to killings of people of the Suri ethnic group. So far, no decisive action has been taken by either the Federal Army or by local, Zonal or SNNPRS Regional authorities against abusive police and armed forces units.

    Cultural Capital as Access to Livelihood Opportunities for Title Local People at Destinations, and Effect of Changes in Cultural Practice: A Case Study in South Omo Zone, Ethiopia Author(s) Girmai, Azeb African study monographs.

Type Journal Article Textversion publisher Kyoto University African Study Monographs, Suppl. 59: 105–122, March 2020 105 CULTURAL CAPITAL AS ACCESS TO LIVELIHOOD OPPORTUNITIES FOR LOCAL PEOPLE AT DESTINATIONS, AND EFFECT OF CHANGES IN CULTURAL PRACTICE: A CASE STUDY IN SOUTH OMO ZONE, ETHIOPIA Azeb Girmai Graduate School of Asian and African Area Studies, Kyoto University ABSTRACT The objectives of this paper are to understand the Mursi people’s perspectives on the significance of cultural tourism on their livelihood and wellbeing, and identify assets and drivers that determine Mursi engagement in tourism activities. The data for this case study methodology was gathered through in-depth interview, focus group discussion, unstructured interviews, and participator observation. Findings show that the Mursi people at tourist destination have taken opportunity of their cultural identity as an asset to diversify their livelihood. Photo for cash, a transaction of cash for photo taken by tourists, is providing indispensable income to purchase grain in times of poor harvest without having to sell their livestock. Photo for cash also provides women with a source of income. While tourism is considered beneficial by the Mursi people, a benefit valuation exercise reveals that the economic benefits of tourism falls below the local peoples’ aspired state of wellbeing.

  • Mursi-English-Amharic Dictionary
    Mursi-English-Amharic Dictionary David Turton Moges Yigezu and Olisarali Olibui December 2008 Culture and Art Society of Ethiopia (CASE) is a non- profit, non-governmental Society operating in Ethiopia. The Society's mission is to document, nurture and promote the cultural and artistic practices, natural heritage, indigenous knowledge and socio-economic institutions of local communities in Ethiopia and to help these continue to play an active role in their lives. It is committed to fostering the continuation of all activities that the Ethiopian people see as signifying their cultural identity and traditional heritage. Indigenous institutions are imbued with the wisdom needed to keep society healthy, both in terms of economic /material well-being and spiritual satisfaction. They are also rich in ways of caring for and sustaining the environment and the landscape. CASE is committed to studying and promoting these traditional systems and institutions and to finding ways of preserving them as living practices for posterity. The Society is therefore interested in documenting and promoting the linguistic heritage of the Ethiopian people, with a particular focus on the least studied languages, such as that of the Mursi. It was in accordance with this part of its mission, therefore, that the Society supported the production of this dictionary. CASE would like to take this opportunity to thank The Christensen Fund, a USA based organization which provides support for the conservation and promotion of the traditions and natural environment of Ethiopia. CASE also extends its sincere appreciation to Dr David Turton of the African Studies Centre, University of Oxford, Dr. Moges Yigezu of the Department of Linguistics, Addis Ababa University and Ato Olisarali Olibui, of the Mursi community, for their efforts to produce this important work.

  • Murle History
    The History of Murle Migrations The Murle people live in southeastern Sudan and are proud to be Murle. They are proud of their language and customs. They also regard themselves as distinct from the people that live around them. At various times they have been at war with all of the surrounding tribes so they present a united front against what they regard as hostile neighbors. The people call themselves Murle and all other peoples are referred to as moden. The literal translation of this word is “enemy,” although it can also be translated as “strangers.” Even when the Murle are at peace with a given group of neighbors, they still refer to them as moden. The neighboring tribes also return the favor by referring to the Murle as the “enemy.” The Dinka people refer to the Murle as the Beir and the Anuak call them the Ajiba. These were the terms originally used in the early literature to refer to the Murle people. Only after direct contact by the British did their self-name become known and the term Murle is now generally accepted. The Murle are a relatively new ethnic group in Sudan, having immigrated into the region from Ethiopia. The language they speak is from the Surmic language family - languages spoken primarily in southwest Ethiopia. There are three other Surmic speaking people groups presently living in the Sudan: the Didinga, the Longarim and the Tenet. When I asked the Murle elders about their origins they always pointed to the east and said they originated in a place called Jen.

  • Indigenous Communities of Ethiopia's Lower Omo Valley
    Facing Gibe 3 Dam: Indigenous Communities of Ethiopia’s Lower Omo Valley By Terri Hathaway1 International Rivers January 26, 2009 “The rise and fall of the Omo waters is the heartbeat of the Lower Omo Valley. More than any other single factor, the river determines everyday economic practice throughout the region.” Executive Summary The Omo River is a lifeline for southwest Ethiopia’s indigenous peoples whose food security and economy depend on the river’s seasonal flooding and subsequent flood-retreat cultivation of the river banks. The Lower Omo Valley is home to an estimated 500,000 people, a significant number of whom practice traditional agro-pastoralist livelihoods.2 At least eight distinct indigenous communities depend on the river’s flood cycle within the isolated Lower Omo Valley: the Mursi, Bodi, Muguji (Kwegu), Kara (Karo), Hamar, Bashada, Nyangatom and Daasanech. Although many also keep livestock, cultivation is essential to local livelihoods as grasslands are becoming more degraded and herding more vulnerable. Since 2006, construction of the Gibe 3 hydropower dam project has been underway on the Omo River, and two more dams (Gibe 4 and Gibe 5) are planned. The Gibe 3 Dam will greatly alter the river’s flow and reduce the seasonal flooding of the Omo River, which provides up to 80-90% of the flow into Northern Kenya’s Lake Turkana. According to official Gibe 3 project documents, more than 21,000 families (at least 100,000 individuals) 1 This report is based on interviews with academic researchers from some of the world’s leading universities who have studied the people of the Lower Omo Valley.

    LOOKING AT ETHIOPIA: HISTORY, PHOTOGRAPHY, AND POWER By JAIME BAIRD A THESIS PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2005 Copyright 2005 by Jaime Baird This thesis is dedicated to Brian, Hayes, and Marley. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The study would not have been possible without the generous assistance of a great many people. Firstly, I would like to thank my committee: Robin Poynor and Vicki Rovine provided guidance and crucial insight throughout every stage of this project, and Eric Segal was always available to answer my questions and give valuable advice. Additionally, all three offered moral support and encouragement during the arduous final stages of the writing process. Dr. Rebecca Nagy, Director of the Harn Museum of Art, also provided much crucial assistance. Her vibrant enthusiasm for Ethiopian culture was the impetus for my own interests in this topic and had it not been for her encouragement, I may never have realized how rich Ethiopian culture truly is. I would also like to thank several other professors, who all contributed in one way or another to my thinking on this project. In the art school, Dr. Barbara Barletta, Dr. Alex Alberro, and Dr. Melissa Hyde, all deserve many thanks. I would also like to thank Dr. Abdoulaye Kane in anthropology, Dr. Fiona Mclaughlin in linguistics and African studies, Dr. Joan Frosch in theater and dance, and Dr. Akintunde Akinyemi in African languages. I am also very grateful to several individuals who assisted me in a number of ways during the research and writing process.
