But among those also arrested were 40 members of the opposition Ethiopian Democratic Party, party chairman Admassu Gebeyehu said on Friday. Among those detained was the party's secretary-general, Lidetu Ayalew. It was not known on what charges they were being held. The violence on Tuesday and Wednesday was the worst in the Ethiopian capital since 1993.

Extractions: Web posted at: 10:29 p.m. EST (0329 GMT) ASMARA, Eritrea (CNN) Ethiopian and Eritrean troops clashed in a second day of heavy fighting Sunday, with Eritrea claiming it had repelled an Ethiopian assault on a key border outpost but the Ethiopians insisting they had inflicted heavy casualties. With the two countries moving seemingly inexorably toward a full-scale war, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan called on both sides to show restraint and try again for a diplomatic solution. Eritrea won independence from Ethiopia in 1993. The neighbors first came to blows last May in a dispute over a 620-mile border drawn during Italian colonial rule. Up to 1,000 people have died in the violence. Fearing an escalation in fighting, authorities in the Eritrean capital, Asmara, urged residents to remain indoors, warning that Ethiopian fighter planes could break a U.S.-backed moratorium on airstrikes.

The Ecole Glossary Biography, by Norman Hugh Redington. http://www2.evansville.edu/ecoleweb/glossary/frumentius.html
Extractions: Frumentius of Ethiopia During roughly the same centuries that the Roman Empire flourished by the Mediterranean, East Africa and South Arabia were under the cultural and sometimes political domination of Axum City in what is now Tigre Province, Ethiopia. The Axumite cultural sphere, which included the Biblical Sheba, had a large Jewish population including many local converts, and as the story of Queen Candace's eunuch (Acts 9:26-40) suggests Christianity was probably introduced at an early date by African and Arabian Jewish pilgrims returning from the Holy Land. The earliest Axumite churches seem to have been completely unconnected with those of the Hellenistic world; Ethiopian tradition remembers them as essentially "messianic Jewish" synagogues. That these communities began instead to worship "in the Roman manner" (as Theodoret puts it) came about in the IV Century through "Abba Salama", Frumentius of Tyre. Because of Frumentius' association with Athanasius, Ethiopia was a stronghold of Nicene Orthodoxy despite well-financed Arian missionary activity funded by the Roman government. One suspects that a phenomenally arrogant and condescending letter of the Emperor Constantius to Ezana and Sheazana demanding Frumentius' recall did little to advance the Arian cause. It may be found among the papers of Athanasius; other sources of importance for Frumentius include Rufinus, Socrates, Theodoret, the Contendings of Takla Haymanot
Ethiopian Professors Directory of ethiopians and Friends of ethiopia in higher education, both for helping ethiopians interested in a college education and to increase collaboration among professors in ethiopia and abroad. http://www.angelfire.com/de/EthiopianProfessors
Extractions: This is a resource page for all people who are interested in contacting Ethiopians/Friends of Ethiopia in higher education. It holds the names, addresses, emails, and research areas of several Professors. If you are working in a higher educational institute and interested in being contacted by Ethiopians who want to pursue higher education, please email your address and areas of research. This page is also created to facilitate the communication between Ethiopians interseted in college education and the professors who can assist them to reach their goals, and to increase collaboration among Ethiopian and other professors in Ethiopia and abroad. If your name is on the list, and want to update the information or remove your name, please email us. This sponsorship is initiated to help young Ethiopians pay the test fees and apply to graduate school in the U.S. Almost all students cannot afford to pay more than birr 2000, for these tests. This will give them an opportunity to apply for assistantships once they take the tests. The majority of graduate students receive assistantships in the U.S. today. The chance for the bright students of Ethiopia to get assistantships is excellent, as long as we help them with the test fees. It is time to open the opportunity of higher education to Ethiopians. This is the first step.

Color is a relevant to us now, but has it been so before the rise of European cultural and political dominance? Where do we stand on color? In other words, are we on one side of the black/white divide, or are we just a temporary stop on the color continuum ranging from the lily white of Northern Europe to the deep black of Equatorial Africa? You know each society has its own category and definition of color. And definitely in our society, color has a place. We use color designations that refer to ones skin tone Teyim, Qey, Qey dama

For centuries, the world Jewish community was not even aware of the existence of the Jewish community of Ethiopia in the northern province of Gondar. The miracle of Operation Solomon is only now being fully understood; an ancient Jewish community has been brought back from the edge of government-imposed exile and starvation. But once they were kings. . . Christianity spread through the Axum dynasty of Ethiopia in the 4th century CE. By the 7th century, however, Islam had surpassed Christianity and had separated Ethiopia from its Christian African neighbors. Prior to this, the Beta Israel had enjoyed relative independence through the Middle Ages. Their reign was threatened in the 13th century CE under the Solomonic Empire, and intermittent fighting continuing for the next three centuries with other tribes. In 1624, the Beta Israel fought what would be their last battle for independent autonomy against Portuguese-backed Ethiopians. A graphic eyewitness account described the battle:
