This article also wanders into many other areas....correction of errors is welcome.... The above references show that an Oromo from western Wellega could justifiably call himself "Son of Hadiya" as well as "Son of Oromo."[if he chose to emphasize his multi-ethnic heritage] Incidentally, one of the most famous Queens in Ethiopian history, Ite Jan Zela (Queen Eleni) was from Hadeya. She was the daughter of Gerad Mehmad, a Muslim ruler of Hadeya and married Emperor Ba'eda Maryam (1468-1478). Converted to Christianity, she was the Regent for her grandson Lebna Dengel, and the author of two Ge'ez works on theology.

http://www.mongabay.com/reference/country_studies/ethiopia/HISTORY.html

Extractions: COUNTRY STUDIES Starting about the mid-sixteenth century, the Oromo people, migrating from the southwest, gradually forced their way into the kingdom, most often by warfare. The Oromo, who eventually constituted about 40 percent of Ethiopia's population, possessed their own culture, religion, and political institutions. As the largest national group in Ethiopia, the Oromo significantly influenced the course of the country's history by becoming part of the royal family and the nobility and by joining the army or the imperial government. During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, religious and regional rivalries gradually weakened the imperial state until it was little more than a collection of independent and competing fiefdoms. Ethiopia's modern period (1855 to the present)represented by the reigns of Tewodros II, Yohannis IV, Menelik II, Zawditu, and Haile Selassie I; by the Marxist regime of Mengistu Haile Mariam; and, since mid-1991, by the Transitional Government of Ethiopia under Meles Zenawihas been been characterized by nation-building as well as by warfare. Tewodros II started the process of recreating a cohesive Ethiopian state by incorporating Shewa into his empire and by suppressing revolts in the country's other provinces. Yohannis IV battled to keep Ethiopia free from foreign domination and to retard the growing power of the Shewan king, Menelik. Eventually, Menelik became emperor and used military force to more than double Ethiopia's size. He also defeated an Italian invasion force that sought to colonize the country.

Search A history of the relations between Germany and Ethiopia has to start with the scholarly interest German theologians took into this biblical country in the late medieval period â since then scholarly research on Ethiopia and its southern neighbours never stopped. Much later, in the mid-19th cent., missionary undertakings became a crucial factor in the establishment of relations between Germans and Ethiopians, and later between the states. Diplomatic and commercial relations, however, started comparatively late (different from France, Great Britain and even Austria). After both Germany and Ethiopia had (re-)constituted themselves as unified states, they occasionally exchanged letters and envoys starting from the 1870s, until finally permanent diplomatic relations were established in 1905.

She is not at all surprised when they fumble with the pieces and are unable to put the country together. It is common for students to have little or no knowledge of the African continent - but that's something she's trying to change. The Ethiopia: Challenges and Possibilities symposium yesterday in the Schine Student Center brought keynote speaker Dr. Brook Hailu, the minister plenipotentiary of Ethiopia, along with several other guests to educate students and faculty on some of the issues concerning the country. The event was sponsored by the Africa Initiative, the Global Affairs Institute, the Department of African-American Studies, the Department of Anthropology, DIPA, the SU graduate school and the Office of Multicultural Affairs. "Everyone and anyone who has an interest in Africa," committee chair Mugo said, "is welcome to participate in the initiative."

Extractions: ETHIOPIA Located in northeastern Africa, in an area known as the Horn of Africa. Ethiopia is one of the largest and most populous countries in Africa. It is bordered by Djibouti and the former Ethiopian autonomous region of Eritrea on the north, Somalia on the east, Kenya on the south,and Sudan on the west. Ethiopia's landscape varies from lowlands to high plateaus and its climate from very dry to seasonally very wet. The Ethiopian population is also very mixed, with broad differences in cultural background and traits, methods of gaining a livelihood, languages,and religions. While influenced and even occasionally occupied by other nations, Ethiopia is one of the few countries in Africa or Asia never truly colonized. Since World War II Ethiopia has often been economically, politically, or militarily dependent on the major world powers. Its substantial balance-of-trade deficit has been attributed to internal disorder. Land and Climate The landscape of Ethiopia is dominated by the northern end of the East African Rift system and by central highlands of plateaus and mountains that rise from about 6,000 feet (2,000 metres) to more

Information about Ethiopia Brief outline of Ethiopia's history After his death in 1908, Menelik was first succeeded by Iyasu, but being accused of 'abjuring the Christian faith, he was deposed. Menelik's daughter Zawditu was proclaimed empress under the regency of Ras Tafari. In 1930, Ras Tafari was crowned as emperor Haile Selassie, who ruled until 1974, with a short interruption between 1935 - 1941 when Mussolini annexed Ethiopia. In 1962 Ethiopia occupied Eritrea, which started a bloody war of independence. In Ethiopia the discontent with Haile Selassie's rule grew as well, and in 1974 a military coup took place. The new leader colonel Mengistu Haile Mariam was supported by Soviet Union. His military Derg regime conducted a veritable reign of terror between 1974 and 1991. The collapse of the Soviet Union and the successes of the resistance movements caused the downfall of the Derg regime in 1991: Mengistu fled to Zimbabwe and seven days later the Tigrayan People's Liberation Front (TPLF) entered Addis Ababa. The TPLF formed a coalition with other resistance movements, including the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF), and this Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) governs Ethiopia since 1991. Eritrea became independent of Ethiopia in 1993. A border conflict between the two countries resulted in a bloody war in 1998 and 2000. In December 2000 Ethiopia and Eritrea signed a peace treaty in Algiers and the UN installed a peace keeping force (UNMEE) in the border area. Two years later, the Ethiopia-Eritrea Boundary Commission decided on the demarcation of the Ethiopian-Eritrean border. As this ruling was partly rejected by Ethiopia the border dispute remains until today.

Extractions: AXUM the site of Ethiopia's most ancient city, is today a small town blissfully ignorant of its glorious past. The 16th century Cathedral of St. Mary of Zion is built on the site of a much older church probably resembling that of Debre Damo, dating from the 4th century AD. Only a platform and the wide stone steps remain from the earlier structure. The Catedral is the repository of the crowns of some of Ethiopia's former emperors. According to church legend, it also houses the original Ark of the Covenant - thus making St. Mary's the holiest sancturary in Ethiopia. Founded perhaps 500 years after the decline of Yeha, much more is known about the historic highland city of Axum - together with its Red Sea port, Adulis. The latter was abandoned suddenly - probably in the sixth century AD - as the result of an invasion from Arabia, and was never resettled. On the other hand, protected by the mountains of northern Tigray, Axum survives to exert a profound influence on the imaginations and spiritual lives of many Ethiopians. A small and lowly town surrounded by dry hills, modern Axum does not easily yield evidence of the splendours and pageantry of its glorious past. Its drab breeze-block houses, roofed with corrugated iron, look little different from those of any other contemporary highland settlement and its people seem remarkable only for their impassive stoicism. Part buried, however, but also part exposed, the extensive traces of noble buildings with large stone foundations are found there side by side with the ruins of even more impressive structures: temples, fortresses, and rich palaces. Adding substance to ancient legends of fire-breathing monsters and testifying to the lost truths embedded in myths and fables, the bones of bygone eras protrude everywhere through the soil. Even today, long- buried hordes of gold, silver and bronze coins are exposed by heavy downpours of rain.

Extractions: Unique among African countries, the ancient Ethiopian monarchy has always maintained its freedom from colonial rule. The one brief exception was when occupied by the Italians from 1936 until 1941. Ethiopia has 1,127,127 sq km; the population was estimated in July 2002 to be almost 68 million. Life expectancy is about 45 years. Women have about 7 children each. The country has one internet service provider. Ethiopia is the oldest independent country in sub-Saharan Africa. The earliest evidence of Ethiopian history was in around 1000BC when the Queen of Sheba visited King Solomon. The first recorded kingdom in Ethiopia grew around Axum during the 3rd century BC. Axum was an offshoot of the Semitic Sabeam kingdoms of southern Arabia; it became the greatest ivory market in the north east. Ethiopia influenced the state of Meroe in Sudan. Over the next few centuries, Axum encroached more and more on Meroe until, when Christianity became the state religion in the 4th century AD, Ethiopia conquered the kingdom. Christianity was adopted in the country by a Syrian youth named Frumentius who grew up in Axum and converted the King; the youth was later made the first Bishop in 330AD.

Extractions: Ethiopian History and Politics By way of introducing these series of posts on Ethiopia, I must state at the outset that they are offered not as definitive versions of what took place historically, but more in the spirit of an open notebook. When there are errors in fact or in interpretation, I humbly invite the Ethiopian comrades of the Marxism list to point them out. There are many reasons why it is important to deepen our understanding of Ethiopian history and politics. To start off with, since it is of vital importance for Marxism to be truly internationalist, I would hope that comrades from advanced industrialized countries on the list make a continuing effort to learn about countries like Ethiopia, because effective solidarity can only be built on the basis of solid understanding. While Ethiopia might not have the advanced technology or industrial prowess of the United States or Great Britain, it *does* have a strategic role in geopolitical terms. Its geographical location on the Horn of Africa has forced it willy-nilly to be part of the world-system's periodic great struggles, from Christianity versus Islam, to capitalism versus communism. I would argue that in light of this, it is absolutely incumbent upon us to understand conflicts in Somalia, Sudan and Ethiopia in these terms, since they have drawn together religious and geopolitical conflicts in the guise of apparently "senseless" civil wars. Another important reason to study Ethiopia is that it was the site of a powerful revolution in 1975 that was hijacked by the Derg. Just as American Trotskyists have intense feelings about how their hopes were dashed by a bureaucratic monster, so might Ethiopian Marxists. It is a credit to these comrades that they have not given up hope on socialism. I suppose one of the reasons that battle-scarred victims of American Trotskyism and the Ethiopian revolution have not given up hope in socialism is that the alternative seems so wretched. In an earlier generation, it was much easier to believe in the superiority of democratic capitalism, as 1950s prosperity led the NY intellectuals to take jobs with the State Department. Nowadays, it is only jackals like David Horowitz or Eugene Genovese who try to promote similar myths.
