Ethiopia is a country of approximately 57 million people of many diverse and colorful ethnic backgrounds — a melting pot of ancient Middle Eastern and African cultures. It is also a country where recently may changes have taken place, but where many ancient customs and traditions remain intact. With a population of about 57 million, Ethiopia represents a melting pot of ancient Middle Eastern and African cultures evident in the religious, ethnic and language composition of its Semitic, Cushitic, Omotic and Nilotic peoples. The Ethiopian peoples comprise about seventy eight nationalities of which the Amhara and the Oromo constitute the majority, with about 60 percent of the total population. Approximately 85 percent of the population lives in the rural areas. The annual population growth rate is about 3 percent, and the economically active segment, between ages 14 and 60, is about 50 percent of the total population. Amharic, Oromiffa and Tigrigna are the major languages used by two third of the population. Amharic is the official language of the Federal Government. English is the medium of instruction in secondary schools, junior colleges, and universities, and is widely used in business transactions, particularly in banking and insurance. Arabic and Italian are also widely spoken. Christianity and Islam are the main religions practised in Ethiopia. Other traditional religions are also practised by a small section of the population, particularly in the South. There is freedom of religious practice in Ethiopia.

ETHIOPIA : A Country Profile Back to Main Menu The Country History The history of Ethiopia, known to many as Abyssinia, is rich, ancient, and still in part unknown. Anthropologists believe that East Africa's Great Rift Valley is the site of the origin of humankind. The first recorded account of the region dates back to almost 5,000 years ago during the time of the Egyptian pharaohs, when the ancient Egyptians sent expeditions down the Red Sea in quest of gold, ivory, incense, and slaves.It is in the Afar region of Ethiopia where scientists discovered the remains of "Lucy" or Dinkenesh, meaning "thou art wonderful," as she is known to the Ethiopians. "Lucy" lived more than three million years ago, and her bones now rest in the Ethiopian National Museum. The country's rich history is woven with legends of King Solomon and Queen of Sheba; the Ark of the Covenant that is said to rest in Axum; the great Axumite kingdom and the birth of Christianity; the rise of Islam; and the story of King Lalibela, who is believed to have had constructed eleven rock-hewn churches, still standing today and considered the eighth wonder of the world. Ethiopia is the only African country which was not colonized by European colonial forces. It was briefly occupied by the Italians between 1936 and 1941.In recent history, between 1889 and 1913 Emperor Menelik II reigned, fending off the encroachments of European powers. Italy posed the greatest threat, having begun to colonize part of what would become its future colony of Eritrea in the mid 1880s. In 1896, Ethiopia defeated Italy at The Battle of Adwa, which was considered the first victory of any African nation over a European colonial power.

Main Menu Source: Abysinia - "Ethiopia" Microsoft Encarta 1994 ETHIOPIA Ethiopia, formerly Abyssinia,a republic in eastern Africa, bounded on the northeast by Eritrea and Djibouti, on the east and southeast by Somalia, on the southwest by Kenya, and on the west and northwest by Sudan. The area of the country is 1,128,176 sq.km (435,606 sq mi). Land and Resources Climate The climate of Ethiopia varies mainly according to elevation. The tropical zone below approximately 1830 m (approximately 6000 ft) has an average annual temperature of about 27 C (about 80 F) and receives less than about 510 mm(about 20in) of rain annually. The subtropical zone, which includes most of the highland plateau and is between about 1830 and 2440 m (about 6000 to 8000 ft) in elevation,has an average temperature of 22 C(about 72 F) with an annual rainfall ranging from about 510 to 1525 mm(about 20 to 60 in). Above approximately 2440 m (approximately 8000 ft) is a temperate zone with an average temperature of about 16 C (about 61 F) and an annual rainfall between about 1270 and 1780 mm (about 50 to 70 in). The main rainy season occurs between mid-June and September, followed by a dry season that may be interrupted in February or March by a short rainy season. Natural Resources The resources of Ethiopia are primarily agricultural. The plateau area is fertile and largely undeveloped. The wide range of soils,climate,and elevations permits the production of a diversified range of agricultural commodities. A variety of mineral deposits exit; iron,copper,zinc,lead,potash( see potassium ), gold and platinum are the principal ones that have been commercially exploited.

It has been forty years since Vansina published Oral Tradition, which laid out an explicit argument for the use of oral evidence in reconstructing the local history of African peoples. Ironically, Vansina's method drew on the tradition of medieval historiography, a process of connecting the dots between documents that were ostensibly narrow in scope and produced by a relatively small monastic class. In both cases, there remains a larger question of the relationship between historical memory and the written and oral forms of expression, especially the contemporaneous interaction between the two in establishing social and political legitimacy in claims over property and political power. Vansina's work validated the use of oral sources, but never adequately addressed the issue of orality's relationship to literacy in societies with restricted documentary traditions. Ethiopia (like the Sudanic states to its west and Madagascar's Merina kingdom) presents just such a case, and Crummey's

Introduction Summary We are introducing our students to the political, cultural, and historical world of Eritrea and Ethiopia. Since we value our personal experiences with the culture, it is essential in our presentation to introduce ourselves, our families, and our experience in our respective cultures. We believe that a brief overview of who we are and where we come from will make the students more comfortable with us, and at the same time they will get a much more personal experience with our Eritrean/Ethiopian presentation. Activity (7-10 minutes) We give out a word association sheets to the students. This activity enables us to see what the students do and do not know about the countries. It is beneficial to the students, because it spurs a discussion about the certain thoughts and ideas that they have about Africa. Hopefully by the end of the presentation, they will have a better idea of what society and people are like in Eritrea and Ethiopia. II. Solomonic Dynasty

75. Cultural Policy The Federal Democratic Republic of ethiopia Cultural Policy. INTRODUCTION. In accordance with the agreement reached by the General Assembly of the United http://www.ethioembassy.org.uk/fact file/a-z/culture.htm

The Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia Cultural Policy I ntroduction In accordance with the agreement reached by the General Assembly of the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organisation held in Mexico City in 1982, culture is defined as a concept which incorporates all intellectual, ethical, physical, technical and other activities that characterise humankind as a rational being. It also involves the ability of man to learn and train himself in moral, technical and other spheres of knowledge. Culture is a wide concept which includes the modes of life, beliefs, traditions and the whole set of the material and spiritual wealth which characterise a certain society as distinct from others. In the context of the cultures of the peoples of the various nations, nationalities, and peoples of Ethiopia, this definition could be used to incorporate their varied social, economic, political, administrative, moral, religious and psychological conditions. The languages, history, oral traditions, housing, instruments of production, food preparation, eating habits, costumes, ornamentation, aesthetic values and appreciation, beliefs and religious practices are also components of their cultures. Even though some governmental measures were recently been taken to promote the cultural sector, they fell short of creating a proper understanding of the concept of culture. Instead, these measures were limited to organising a few narrowly envisaged cultural establishments. In relation to the modern political, economic and social establishments and enterprises created in the country, these cultural establishments came very late and this indicates the low consideration that was given to the sector. This low consideration hindered the sector from contributing its part in development programs of the country.

The Axum obelisk is regarded as one of Ethiopia's national religious treasures. An Antonov plane landed on Tuesday with the middle part of the obelisk; the top and bottom should follow within a week. Italian troops seized the obelisk in 1937 and took it to Rome, where it has remained ever since, despite a 1947 UN agreement to return it to Ethiopia. The plane carrying the first part of the obelisk appeared over the horizon just before dawn.

The first piece was due on Wednesday but the Italian culture ministry says Axum airport does not have radar, so the pilots must wait for good weather. Italy has promised to send back the artefact looted in 1937 but the return has already been put back twice. The 160-tonne pillar has been broken into three pieces to ease transport. "The return of the obelisk was delayed due to technical and logistical problems beyond our control and we therefore apologise to all those who had been invited to attend the arrival of the obelisk on 13 April," said Ethiopia's culture ministry. No new date had been given for the arrival of the first piece of the 24 metre monument. The other two pieces had been due by the end of the month. National celebration The Italian government has agreed to pay to transport the obelisk by cargo plane to Ethiopia and reconstruct it at its original site in the northern town of Axum.

Now, the ERCS has launched a workplace intervention programme targeting its employees at various levels to offer access to HIV/AIDS information and appropriate services. Ethiopia is a very religious and conservative country. Discussing personal subjects openly and frankly is not part of Ethiopian culture. HIV/AIDS is almost a forbidden topic, even among relatives and friends. Talking about sex is taboo in this country and that is the main stumbling block to HIV/AIDS education in communities. HIV-positive people often do not seek testing and treatment because they fear being ostracized by their families, neighbours and friends and losing their jobs or access to public services.

Sacred Texts Africa Index Previous ... Next p. 17 III ETHIOPIA AND EGYPT Having viewed now the land and movements of African people in main outline, let us scan more narrowly the history of five main centers of activity and culture, namely: the valleys of the Nile and of the Congo, the borders of the great Gulf of Guinea, the Sudan, and South Africa. These divisions do not cover all of Negro Africa, but they take in the main areas and the main lines in development. Egyptian monuments show distinctly Negro and mulatto faces. Herodotus, in an incontrovertible passage, alludes to the Egyptians as "black and curly-haired" a peculiarly significant statement from p. 18 Modern measurements, with all their admitted limitations, show that in the Thebaid from one-seventh to one-third of the Egyptian population were Negroes, and that of the predynastic Egyptians less than half could be classed as non-Negroid. Judging from measurements in the tombs of nobles as late as the eighteenth dynasty, Negroes form at least one-sixth of the higher class. Such measurements are by no means conclusive, but they are apt to be under rather than over statements of the prevalence of Negro blood. Head measurements of Negro Americans would probably place most of them in the category of whites. The evidence of language also connects Egypt with Africa and the Negro race rather than with Asia, while religious ceremonies and social customs all go to strengthen this evidence.
