The entire text of the dissertation is composed of six chapters. At the end of each chapter there are critical analyses, conclusions, references and notes. Finally at the end of the whole body of the dissertation there is bibliography and appendix. The appendix contains the pictures of some of the elderly informants who orally shared their knowledge of the traditional moral values of the Oromo society. The first chapter attempts to lay out the problems that instigated the research, the general problems that the dissertation addresses, the methods that the researcher employs, and a conceptual and theoretical groundwork for the subsequent chapters.","PeriodicalId":129334,"journal":{"name":"Ethiopian journal of the social sciences and humanities","volume":"43 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113938763","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this purpose, aerial photographs covering the study area, GIS tools and GPS were used; questionnaires were also distributed to sample urban households, and interviews were conducted with a sample of farming households in Kebele 15 of Bole sub-city. The main findings of the study indicate that the rate of urban settlement expansion in the fringes of Addis Ababa has been very fast. While the city has not been expanding uniformly both in space and time, the fastest rate of expansion has been observed in recent years, everywhere except in the northern part of the city. In particular, the rate for the study Kebele in eastern Addis Ababa has been high. Population growth, which is the direct cause of such expansion in the fringes of the city, is the result of in-migration. In the fringes of the city, for instance, population growth has been more than four times that of the city as a whole. In addition to population growth, the prevailing urban development practice of the city government has contributed significantly for the rapid horizontal expansion of the city. This has resulted in, among other things, the loss of the arable land, and most importantly, the loss of the agricultural livelihood of the farmers in the city fringe. The measures being taken by the government to compensate for the loss of peasants' agricultural livelihoods, including the efforts to re-establish them, are very far from being adequate. As a result, the affected farming households have been marginalized and impoverished.

By exploring curriculum, management guidelines and other relevant policy documents, this paper argues that within a decentralized federal system of governance primary curriculum provisions still suffer from a centralized control. The Ministry dominates curriculum policy decision environment in the name of ‘setting & maintaining of standards', ‘provisions of assistance' and ‘ensures whether the curriculum developed at all levels was free from gender, cultural and political bias'. Capitalizing these discretions, the Ministry goes beyond its jurisdiction in developing primary curriculum. As a result, this paper recommends that regional states balance the power struggle over primary curriculum decision environment, untie themselves to some extent, exercise their policy right and play effectively as genuine stakeholders in the provisions of meaningful and localized curriculum for the only forms of education available to the majority of their constituencies.

Historically, many aspects of social, cultural and economic linkages have been the shared features of the people's of these two countries making them interdependent in many ways. Politically there was a time when the Sudan intensively supported Eritrea's liberation struggle and built cordial relations with post-independent Eritrea. However, a closer look at their bilateral relationship during the decade under study reveals a pattern that is not befitting what can be commonly expected of between countries with such historic ties; rather it has seen frequent clashes primarily at the political level preventing them from developing and consolidating their age-old historical and cultural relations. Of particular note is the triangular configuration of relationship between Eritrea on the one hand and Ethiopia and the Sudan on the other hand that has determined in a big way their bilateral relations that each of them had with the other. Analyzing the ups and downs in relationship could bring out the “strategic concerns” that defined their ties and therefore, to understand this, this article first gives a brief survey of the past relationship in order to highlight the role and impact it has on contemporary relationship between them. The post-independent cordiality and the period of irritant relationship are brought out next to describe and highlight the trend and finally, the normalization of relations is discussed and conclusions put forward.

Wife beating and child corporal punishment are major family/domestic violence in Ethiopia. This study focused on wife beating (battering). It has attempted to find out the main causes for the spouses' violence, what husbands and wives do when their respective spouses are at fault. Also, attempts are made to relate the violations to the dominant culture and to specific human rights articles. It is a descriptive study that used a questionnaire. The data were collected on a sample of 56 family heads (33F, 23M) in Lideta and Shiro Meda areas of Addis Ababa. The responses to the open ended questions were content analyzed by the author and research assistant. Thematic categories were developed based on the literature reviewed and the responses of the respondents.\u0000It is found that poor living conditions, poor management of family income, jealousy/mistrust, husbands coming home drunk and poor communication (lack of understanding) are the major causes of family conflicts mentioned. The reasons listed for beating wives include: Suspicion of adultery, husbands' drunkenness, jealousy (kinat), husbands desire to show dominance, misunderstandings and lack of discussion, and claim of culturally accepted way of disciplining. Calling on elders/relatives, discussing the problem, leaving home, and tolerating the problem are the main actions taken by the wives when their husbands are at fault. \u0000Teaching the public and couples about the habit of discussion and tolerance, providing marriage and family life education to the youth, improvement of the economic conditions of families, teaching of human rights education to the public, and taking of serious legal measures on those who are violent are steps/actions suggested by a large number of the participants.

Possible areas of intervention of food production we have considered are physical resources, human resources, policy issues, and the management of the agricultural sector. In each case merits and demerits are identified. Among the merits of physical resources are land area, diverse climate, and relatively abundant water. The possibility of bringing more area of land under rain-fed and irrigated cultivation, benefiting from the climatic variations the country is characterized with, exploiting more water resources, and raising productivity are examined. At the same time, the need to overcome certain difficulties that may arise in the process of expanding food production is indicated. As regards the human resource, the large population size the country has, and the presence of unemployed and underemployed population in rural Ethiopia are considered useful pools to draw labor force from to the proposed expansion of agriculture. However, that appropriate use of the labor force requires expanding education, training, and health care is also noted. The need to re-examine our land tenure policy, internal mobility of people, and diversifying our economy as part of our strategy of achieving food security is suggested. br> Ethiopian Journal of the Social Sciences and Humanities Vol. 3 (1) 2005: pp. 21-48","PeriodicalId":129334,"journal":{"name":"Ethiopian journal of the social sciences and humanities","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115289046","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
