Getachew Molla (Msc) 1 Firew Tegegne (PhD) 2 Yeshambel Mekuriaw (PhD) 2 1.Woreta College of Agriculture, Woreta-Ethiopia 2.Bahir Dar University, College of Agriculture & Environmental Sciences, Bahir Dar-Ethiopia Abstract The study was conducted in Fogera district with the objectives to understand farmers’ sheep fattening practices, and to identify the opportunities and challenges of sheep fattening practices. The study area was stratified into three groups based on agro- ecology in Mizuwa watershed i.e., upper, medium and lowers with an average altitude of 2061, 1853 and 1794 m.a.s.l, respectively. Seven kebeles were selected purposively from these agro- ecologies. A total of 140 households (HHs) were selected randomly that is twenty from each kebeles. Each HHs was interviewed with a semi-structured questionnaire. General issues related to sheep fattening practices, opportunities and challenges were obtained through group discussion with key informants. Data analyses were carried out using both SPSS software and index method. In the study area about 44.3% of the respondents were involved in sheep fattening practices. The major available livestock feed resources identified in the study area were natural pasture 28.6%, crop residue 27.75%, stubble grazing 13%, hay 13.45%, fodder trees and improved forages 14% and agro industrial by products 3.2%. Majority (61 %) of the respondents used separated room in the family house for fattening sheep.

    Robert JOUMARD Awra Amba, a current experiment of utopian socialism June 2012 Robert Joumard is emeritus senior scientist (Ifsttar), in Bron, France. Contact: [email protected] Summary This is a review of the available literature on the Ethiopian utopian community of Awra Amba, i.e. mainly of four master reports and secondly of news reports and accounts. It allows us to show the troubled historic evolution of this community founded in 1972 by a small group of illiterate peasants around one of them. Then, we present the values – honesty, equality, solidarity, rationalism – which are founding the community and are at the heart of its pattern of living. Next we present the social organization of this village of 400 inhabitants, through its institutions, economic activities, gender equality, especially at work, marriage, solidarity between members and especially with the elders, children activities, funeral and management of internal conflicts. Finally, we look in depth at education, which is a priority for the community, and at the relationships with neighbouring communities, authorities and generally Ethiopians, as well as foreigners. In conclusion, we focus on some dangers for the future development of this experiment full of lessons. አጭር መግለጫ አውራ አምባ፡ ወቅታዊው ኅብረተ ሰብአዊ አንዋንዋር፡፡ ይህ ጥናት ኢትዮጵያ ውስጥ የሚገኘው ምኞታዊው አውራ አምባ ኅብርተ ሰብን በሚመለከት ተጽፈው የሚገኙትን ልዩ ልዩ ጽሁፎች ፥ ማለትም በተለይ አራት የማስተሬት ምርምሮችንና በተጨማሪም የተለያዩ ዘገባዎችንና ምስክሮችን ያቀነባበረ ነው ። ይህም በ1972 ዓ/ም በጥቂት አርሶ አደሮች የተጠነሰሰውን የአውራ አምባ ኅብርተ ሰብን ታሪካዊ ሂደት ለማብራራት ይረዳል ። በመቀጠል የአውራ አምባን ባህልና ዋና መሠረት
