Ethiopia Time and Date Ethiopia Culture Back to Top The Ethiopian people are ethnically heterogeneous, comprising more than 100 groups, each speaking a dialect of one of more than seventy languages. The Amhara, Oromo, and Tigray are the largest groups. With the accession of Menelik II to the throne in 1889, the ruling class consisted primarily of the Amhara, a predominantly Christian group that constitutes about 30 % of the population and occupies the central highlands. The Oromo, who constitute about 40 % of the population, are half Orthodox Christians and half Muslims whose orthodox alliance with the Amhara in Shewa included participation in public administration and the military. Predominantly Christian, the Tigray occupy the far northern highlands and make up 12 to 15 % of the population. They or their Eritrean neighbors had been battling the government for nearly three decades and by 1991 had scored many battlefield successes. Declaring education one of its priorities, the PMAC expanded the education system at the primary level, particularly in small towns and rural areas, which had never had modern schools during the imperial era. The new policy relocated control and operation of primary and secondary schools to the subregion (awraja) level, where officials reoriented curricula to emphasize agriculture, handicrafts, commercial training, and other practical subjects. The regime also embarked on a national literacy campaign.

    Extractions: Mirabilis.ca home page about this blog contact Traditional Ethiopian artistic rules require that good persons be shown in full face (two eyes visible) while evil people are to be shown in profile, with one eye visible. Another major characteristic is that the paintings show no perspective. The usual technique is to sketch in charcoal, outline the picture in black ink, and then fill in with different colors. That's from the Ethiopian Painting page on the Cultural and Religious Traditions in Ethiopia website. That website's a treasure trove. It's got sections on Ethiopian Manuscripts, Ethiopian processional crosses, The Queen of Sheba, missionaries in Ethiopia, and a few other topics as well. Peek at the Dawit Psalter, or go look at the Sistrum, a rattle used in the Orthodox liturgy. Oh, and remember I mentioned Assefa's coptic crosses in yesterday's entry? Here are some similar cross pendants. Posted on October 24, 2002 09:12 AM. Filed under:
