  • Hyenas like Us: Social Relations with an Urban Carnivore in Harar, Ethiopia

    This thesis is an exploration of the ongoing, dynamic processes which shaped hyena andhuman relations in a Muslim town in Ethiopia. These processes had their roots in worldprehistory; in millions of years of coexistence which is evidenced by the fossilisedremains of human and hyena ancestors. Whereas hyenas recently disappeared frommuch of their former range, they persisted in eastern Ethiopia and figure prominently inthe oral traditions and historical accounts of the walled city of Harar. At the time ofwriting, the hyenas of Harar combined with hyena feeders and tourists in processes inwhich two hyena feeding places were evolving along different lines.NOTE, The Illustrations are not available in this document.

  • Ethiopia: land of slavery & brutality - League of Nations, Geneva 1935

    In 1935 Hile Silase requested League of Nations Based (the UN of that time) assistance against Italian invasion of Ethiopia. The League of Nations declined Haile Selase’s request and handed him the attached document that has detailed record of Ethiopians human right violation. The document narrates how Abyssinia transformed into Ethiopia through invasion of independent States in South and Emirate of Harar. The document gives detail account about Ethiopias rulers involvement in slave trade, massacar of many nations and nationalities, land grab and exploiting farmers. Most of all, the document presents empirical evidence of physical boundaries and boarders of each independent State before Minilik’s invasion and territorial expansion. To give better understanding for those who are not familiar with the names of the Rivers, Mountains, and Valleys mentioned as border demarcation in the document, I incorporated a map drawn by Italian scholars based on the description given in the document.
