Wilbur Smiths to mest magtfulde familier mødes igen i denne længeventede selvstændige fortsættelse til bestselleren Solens sejr. Penrod Ballantyne og hans forlovede, Amber Benbrook, går gennem Cairos gader i 1888. De er lykkelige og opfyldt af drømme om deres fælles fremtid, men drømmene knuses, da en jaloux ekskæreste kommer imellem dem. Amber rejser til Abessinien sammen med sin tvillingesøster, Saffron, og hendes eventyrlystne mand, Ryder Courtney, på jagt efter lykken. De begiver sig ud på en farefuld færd til Addis Ababa, hvor de bydes velkommen af den magtfulde hersker Menelik II, Kongernes konge. Men Italien har planer for Abessinien, og der florerer rygter om en invasion. Tilbage i Cairo søger en knust Penrod trøst i byens opiumhuler. Han reddes af sin gamle ven, Lorenzo, som nu er i den italienske hær, og da Lorenzo tilbyder ham at slutte sig til den militære indsats, slår Penrod til. En storm er på vej, og Penrod og Amber befinder sig på hver deres side af invasionen - kan de nogensinde finde deres vej tilbage til hinanden mod alle disse odds?

Mødet med en tilsyneladende fremmed kultur og trospraksis i Etiopien sætter en refleksion i gang i teolog og forfatter Henrik Højlund. Er det muligt at tro med større overbevisning og mindre blufærdighed – er det muligt hér, i Danmark?Jeg tror, du er her er en personlig bog, der går tæt på tvivlen, troen og livet. Forfatteren skriver afvæbnende og med stor indsigt om den mulige konflikt mellem det vante og det fremmede, når han samtidig opmuntrer læseren – og sig selv – til at slippe blufærdigheden og vove troen. Henrik Højlund (f. 1960) er præst i Aarhus Bykirke og forhenværende sognepræst i Østjylland og København. Han har skrevet og bidraget til flere bøger om kristendom og eksistens, bl.a. Mærk Gud (2013), der fik mange læsere.

»¿¿¿ bauhaus« (selam bauhaus) means »hello bauhaus« in Amharic, one of the most important languages in Ethiopia. Visually, one could also interpret the Amharic letters as "Why Bauhaus" to question the overuse of this label during the Bauhaus Centennial in 2019. So, why Bauhaus?100 years ago, the teaching of architecture and urban design at the Bauhaus responded to rapid changes in society and their impact on the built environment. The ambitions and methods of the historical Bauhaus can still inspire us in the present day: Today, facing global climate change and human migration, these themes are more pressing than ever. Through the Emerging City Lab Addis Ababa (ECL-AA), the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar and the Ethiopian Institute of Architecture, Building Construction and City Development (EiABC) at Addis Ababa University established a joint lab. Combining innovation and social responsibility through experiments with building materials, practices and planning technologies beyond cultural, social, and disciplinary boundaries, this publication shows educational and research projects that emerged from the collaboration. In 2019 they were presented in the exhibition »¿¿¿ bauhaus (selam bauhaus) - hello bauhaus« on the occasion of the centenary of the Bauhaus and the 65th anniversary of the EiABC.

A comprehensive historical, geographic, and thematic analysis of the multidimensional and dynamic migration experience of Ethiopians within and beyond Africa.

The original forests of the central and northern highlands of Ethiopia are almost entirely confined to the "sacred groves" surrounding the churches and monasteries of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahido Church. In Ethiopian tradition sanctity starts from the Tabot on the altar of the church and extends to the outer periphery of the compound. Church forests serve as shade and shelter for the sacred, and are seen as integral parts of the churchyard.The Act of Gebre Menfes Qiddus (GGMQ) is an original Ethiopic hagiographic text. It depicts the life and struggle of the saint in the wilderness of forests and mountains. Hagiographic texts like GGMQ are in Ethiopia not mere historical records, but texts linked to the daily liturgical services that shape and mould the perceptions and actions of their readers and listeners. The aim of the thesis is to analyse how GGMQ presents the relation between the saint and the natural environment in order to see if there is a correlation with how the Ethiopian tradition has preserved the church forests and has considered these to be sacred spaces representing the wilderness. The aim is achieved through a close reading of the text and its intertexts using four selected themes as analytical instruments: ascetic estrangement, coexistence with non-human creation, identification with the angels and reconciliation of opposites. The analysis, and the fact that the GGMQ is one of the most venerated texts, read and heard with great liturgical solemnity, show that there are good reasons to believe that the constant reading of GGMQ has made and makes a significant impact upon the readers' views on the mutual co-habitation of human and non-human creation and the development of an awareness of the need to preserve the wilderness and non-human creation.

The words that accompany our experience of and thinking about death are rarely uplifting: grief, loss, mourning, and, of course, fear. Death and everything surrounding it can be terrifying. People fear death. People fear dying. People fear missing out. People fear the loss of others, too. The loss of a loved one is undoubtedly a source of fear for many. The fear and sorrow bound up in the term "death" make it a morbid subject. Often, the topic is avoided in conversation. Death is too melancholic. Death is too miserable. Death is too personal. Death can be personal, of course. The ways it affects oneself can be intimate and, by virtue of its closeness, it can be a thoroughly private matter. Death is personal when it is one's own death, perhaps one's contemplation of or attempt at suicide, or the death of someone known and/or loved. Death has a part to play in our past, our present, and (unavoidably) our future. Death is an omnipresent possibility. Hidden in the wings, death waits for its cue before the final curtain call. All of us await this death and it is the future of us all. The death described here is one that almost everyone will be familiar with: the end of a life. However, there is another death. A second death. An impersonal death. A depersonalised, dispossessed, ungraspable death - that death is the focus of this thesis.

Sumaya war eine Frau, die häufig vergessen wird. Nicht viel ist über sie bekannt. Zu früh musste sie sterben. Zu früh hatte sie angeeckt. Deshalb ist wenig bis kaum Historisches über sie überliefert. Umso inspirierender ist es, was wir über sie wissen. Beispielsweise ist da der Fakt, dass sie nicht nur die erste Frau, sondern die erste Person überhaupt war, die getötet wurde, weil sie sich Muhammads Botschaft anschloss. Die Frage ist aber: Warum gerade sie? Warum gerade eine Frau? In Überlieferungen lesen wir, dass Sumaya zu den sieben ersten Personen zählte, die sich in Mekka öffentlich zur Sendung Muhammads bekannten. Unter diesen Sieben war sie die einzige Frau. Das ist ein bedeutsamer Punkt. Sumaya hat also unweigerlich eine besondere Stellung unter den ersten Gefährten des Propheten Muhammad. Zuvor eine hilflose Sklavin, avancierte sie zu einem Vorbild für alle Menschen. Doch über sie und über die Perspektive einer Frau auf die Sendung Muhammads, wird, meiner Ansicht nach, immer noch zu wenig gesprochen. Mit diesem Werk möchte ich das ändern.

Ennatu Domingo was adopted from her native Ethiopia at the age of seven and transplanted to Barcelona where she learned to be and to speak both Spanish and Catalan. But she never forgot her nomadic childhood in the mountains and meadows of Gondar, near the northern border with Eritrea. Having suffered great loss at an early age, she was inspired to study the patriarchal structures that underpinned her individual experiences, both in the West and in contemporary Ethiopia. She has lived in Kenya, Belgium and the UK, and has travelled across the five continents, but keeps returning to the country of her childhood, to relearn her first language Amharic and to immerse herself in the sights and sounds of her birth mother s life. Torn between forgetting and remembering, Ennatu explores the dilemma of international adoptees and the quest for belonging in a book destined to be a classic of its genre.

This volume calls attention to the worst massacre of Christians that has occurred on the African continent, a 1937 attack on the monastic village of Debre Libanos that has previously been hidden from public knowledge.

Thorough investigations in recent decades have brought to light a relatively large number of ancient manuscripts of the various books of the Old and New Testaments from different parts of Ethiopia. This has led to a renewed interest in up-to-date critical editions of all the books of the Ethiopic Bible. For the Book of Jeremiah, however, there has never been a critical edition. This collection of seven essays marks the beginning of a new endeavour to fill this gap. Stefan Weninger introduces the reader medias in res, providing a condensed overview of the history of Ethiopic Jeremiah scholarship. Martin Heide's essay is a sample edition of the Book of Jeremiah based on nearly sixty manuscripts. The data that became available through collation allow to classify the manuscripts and provide first insights into the textual history of the Jeremiah Cycle. Michael Knibb invites the reader to review his experience with the critical edition of the Book of Ezekiel. Furthermore, another essay by him deals with the very intriguing manuscript Leiden Or. 14.692, being probably the earliest Ethiopic manuscript of Ezekiel. Steve Delamarter and Garry Jost introduce the reader to the digital methodology of the Textual History of the Ethiopic Old Testament project, which they apply to a sample chapter of Jeremiah, coming to a similar conclusion - from a different perspective - as Martin Heide. Alessandro Bausi addresses important methodological questions, that is, the status of a reconstruction or whether critical editions of Ethiopic texts should be written in normalized orthography. Finally, Siegfried Kreuzer introduces the reader to an up-to-date view of the textual history of the Septuagint. This enables (and challenges) scholars dealing with textual criticism of Ethiopic Old Testament books to carefully consider the question of the Greek Vorlage.

The author resists identity politics through a postcolonial political pastoral care and praxis that decolonizes biopolitical governmentalities, reframes hegemonic and fragmented identities, and restores the in-between spaces and in-between subjectivities of Ethiopians.

Particularly in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attack, the threat of terrorism, however, defined, has been invoked as a common 'justification' in the pursuit of remodelling policies, laws, and institutions, both at the international and in the domestic politico-legal showground. The broader central theme that this book explores is the normative vibe under which the present-day counterterrorism discourse is construed and sculpted in the legislative and institutional structures of an authoritarian state where the political power and government institutions are functioning under a single-party-monopolised system. Presenting the Ethiopian legislative and institutional frameworks as a case study, the book critically reflects on the extent that the international legal and/or institutional counterterrorism response is sensitised in a manner lessening the risk of conflating authoritarian regime's unbearable reactions to citizens' legitimate demands and resistances against its repression vis-àvis that of its response to the common threat of international terrorism. In particular, the book ponders whether or not the range of the substantive and procedural aspects of the Ethiopian antiterrorism legislative and institutional frameworks are wrought to fit into the main objectives and standards that emanate from the pertinent international laws relating to terrorism and the international human rights law as well as the domestic constitutional law maxims.

Academic Paper from the year 2019 in the subject Politics - Topic: Peace and Conflict, Security, Haramaya University, language: English, abstract: This paper attempts to see the need for peace building and reconciliation in post-TPLF Ethiopia. It employed qualitative research approach. It draws heavily on secondary sources, including books, journals, researches and reports of various institutions. The facts collected are analyzed thematically, trans-active approach as alternative explanations. Ethiopia needs a peace-building rule to improve coordination and effectiveness of its interventions in promoting peace and human security. The constitution, sectoral policy pronouncements, international conventions and policy frameworks which the country has ratified, contain bits and pieces of policy pronouncements on peace-building.In most post-conflict situations, there are major divisions throughout impacted societies, manifested in ethnic, political, economic, social, and religious rifts. The consequent psycho-social impacts that invariably result from protracted civil divergences are often more harmful than the physical damage shaped by the conflicts itself. Conflict is pervasive in every society, so the term post-conflict in this instance indicates the period after a formal dictatorial party in coalition is fired out by long-term protest. The high-profile reconciliation initiatives with which we are familiar tend to be national-level, top-down approaches: truth commissions, legal processes and reform, national reparation programs, public apologies, etc. These initiatives can only take place once there is a recognized state-wide system of governance with sufficiently broad legitimacy that such initiatives can be carried out under its auspices. In conclusion for reconciliation activities to have any meaning, structural issues leading to conflict must also be addressed. There must be a harmonization of objectives between economic, political and psycho-social interventions. Peace building is increasingly institutionalized across the international landscape.

Scientific Essay from the year 2017 in the subject Business economics - Banking, Stock Exchanges, Insurance, Accounting, , language: English, abstract: The main objective of the paper is to analyze the impact of bank specific and macro-economic factors on the profitability of selected Ethiopian private commercial banks over the period of 2005 to 2014. To meet the objective, both descriptive and random effect panel econometrics method of data analysis has been employed. The study uses both return on asset (ROA) and return on equity (ROE) as a measurement for banks profitability. Private Banks profit after tax gets increasing year after year and their ROA is found to be three percent on average. The deposit share of private commercial banks reached above 30 percent in 2014, while it was only 10 percent in 2000. The panel econometrics result shows that, the variable bank size and GDP growth rate has a positive and significant impact on private commercial banks ROA and ROE. While, interest rate spread has a negative and significant impact. The variable Loan to deposit ratio has negative and significant impact on banks ROA while, it has no effect on their ROE. Inflation also an important variable in explaining ROA at 10% significant level but, it has no effect on ROE. The other important variable in explaining ROE is loan concentration index it has positive and significant impact on banks ROE. But, it does not significantly explain ROA. As a recommendation the significant and positive impact of Bank size can be taken as a good signal for commercial banks to merge and to have scale advantage. The significant impact of macro-economic variables in explaining banks profit is an indicator to designed policies that promote sustainable output growth and controlling inflation to have stable banking sector.

Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject Business economics - Trade and Distribution, grade: A, , language: English, abstract: Ethiopia is the single largest African producer of coffee with about half of its production going for export. It plays a central role in Ethiopiäs economy and as the country¿s leading export is an important source of foreign exchange. The coffee bean export business reserved for Ethiopia citizens. Out of the total number of coffee exporting companies, 93 percent are private companies, 5% are coffee growing farmers' cooperatives, and 2 % are governmental enterprise. The extent to which cooperatives and private, including previous Ethiopian Grain Trade Enterprise (EGTE) now named Ethiopia Trading Business Corporation (¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿) and state farms, play a role in coffee exports from Ethiopia. Currently coffee generates less than 35 percent of the total export earnings. For the last several years its relative predominance in the export sector is decreasing because of increased contribution of other agricultural products like horticulture and floriculture. Consequently, only a little over 26% percent of the total export earnings is contributed by coffee during the year of 2011 (FDRE, 2011). This is the lowest share earned from export of coffee in the history of economy.

Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2019 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 3.68, , language: English, abstract: The Balanced Score Card (BSC) is one of the most popular Public service reform initiatives in Ethiopia that tries to translate a company¿s strategic direction and objectives into actionable initiatives and measurements.

Then, data collected through questionnaires were analyzed using SPSS Version 24 software and presented by table, bar graph and pie chart. Interview and document analysis were also made to complement the information obtained. The major findings of the study revealed that employees understanding on the vision and strategic objectives and employees positive perception regards to BSC initiative relevance is a good opportunity for ERC. whereas, lack of committed management and employee, manpower skill gap and lack of training, ineffective communication with employees, lack of monitoring and evaluation system are the variables that are statistically significant and have influence on balanced scorecard reform implementation at the Corporation. Therefore, it is recommended that ERC should strength the commitment of management and employee by providing adequate and continuous refreshment training on the concept of Balanced Scorecard.

Scientific Study from the year 2019 in the subject Cultural Studies - Miscellaneous, grade: A, , course: Archology and musume, language: English, abstract: As the findings of the study, clearly reveal that all of the research participants were recognized that , even if people of Wolaita has a divers possession of in its cultural ,historical and religious heritages , the museum has poor collection Therefore, the museum and its stakeholders from these valuable heritage resources the should have clearly define stakeholder engagement policy and collocate different aspects me trials for the museum ; The governing bodies have the overall responsibilities for the museum better performance. Therefore, the governing bodies of the should be dedicate, culture and heritage lovers; Ethiopia has many cultural and historical heritages among which museums are worth mentioning. There are several regional and national museums in the country. Most of them have numerous collections such as artifacts, photographs, cultural goods and clothes, traditional weapons, charts and maps that attract many visitors or tourists. Many museums are used as a means of generating good revenue while some are not used well for the same purpose. It may be difficult to generalize about the situation of museums in having conducted a case study on Wolaita Sodo Museum. However, our country¿s tourism policy still needs some sort of special attention. Future Absence of well-developed profile, its inappropriateness to people¿s with disabilities, lack of good promotion strategy and absence of light source to some sections of the museum are some problems which are looking for urgent response unless the museum will not able to generate good revenue from it. A further research on this area should be carry out in a way that it can help tourism experts, employees of the museum and other concerned bodies to develop good strategies to improve the present practices and to mitigate the existing challenges. This, in return, will help the city to generate revenue and develop from the sector.

Scientific Study from the year 2020 in the subject Politics - Topic: Public International Law and Human Rights, Wolkite University, course: Political Science and Internationhal Relations, language: English, abstract: This paper examines the constitutional and legal derogations or limitations to which the enjoyment of Human Rights could be subjected, during a period of a State of Emergency in Ethiopia and explores Ethiopia's compatibility to International Human rights standards. The scope of the Research is general and broad because of which it was not possible to identify and elaborate on each and every legislation and provisions that are inconsistent with constitutional and international human rights principles and propose recommendations. For example, regarding how courts, national human right institutions and etcetera are handling domestic application of international human rights instruments is not the scope here. The research approach for this study was qualitative one. As a matter of the fact that the issue of human rights is subtle and the lack of adequate data system of the legal system, a multi-methodology approach was deployed. Data collection tools employed is a Document analysis, qualitative interview and Literature review. The study concludes that the declaration of emergency and the resultant derogation of human rights has been the normal form of exercise of state of sovereignty in Ethiopia. In addition to the governing norms and principles the country use as a precondition to justify the need to take emergency measures and giving power to the concerned organ, a proper institutional and procedural mechanism of checking and necessary control against a possible abuse of emergency powers is vital.

Essay from the year 2018 in the subject African Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, Jimma University College of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine (Department of Animal Sciences), language: English, abstract: This review was aimed to indicate the dairy cattle production system including small holder, pastoral and agro pastoral, urban and per urban and intensive dairy cattle production system, breeding practice including mating system (natural mating and AI), breeding objective and reproductive and productive traits of dairy cattle in Ethiopia. Now in Ethiopia most farmers use natural, unplanned and uncontrolled mating system by using breeding from communal grazing and a few farmer use AI for improvement of breed and production by upgrading the genetic makeup of indigenous breed of cattle. Therefore, in Ethiopia, there is a need to use breeding objectives in line effective breeding policies for both AI and natural service for sustainable and effective animal breeding practice. There should be appropriate animal breeders, policy designers and stalk holders have to give due attention to transform the existing traditional breeding practices targeting towards dairy productivity and production with careful consideration of genetic conservation of local cattle breeds.
