    Extractions: DATE=4/20/99 TYPE=BACKGROUND REPORT NUMBER=5-43168 TITLE=ETHIOPIA / ERITREA CULTURE WAR BYLINE=SCOTT STEARNS DATELINE=ADDIS ABABA CONTENT= VOICED AT: INTRO: ERITREA'S PRESIDENT SAYS HIS WAR WITH NEIGHBORING ETHIOPIA IS NOT ABOUT RIVAL BORDER CLAIMS, IT IS ABOUT CULTURE. AS V-O-A EAST AFRICA CORRESPONDENT SCOTT STEARNS REPORTS, THESE FORMER ALLIES IN THE HORN OF AFRICA HAVE MADE THE WAR PERSONAL. TEXT: THE TWO MEN RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS CONFLICT HAVE KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR YEARS. ERITREAN PRESIDENT ISAYAS AFEWORKI AND ETHIOPIAN PRIME MINISTER MELES ZENAWI GO BACK TO THE MID-1980'S WHEN THEY FOUGHT TOGETHER AGAINST ETHIOPIAN LEADER MENGISTU HAILLE MARIAM. AT THE START OF THIS WAR LAST MAY, REGIONAL DIPLOMATS FELT THE PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PRESIDENT ISAYAS AND PRIME MINISTER MELES WOULD CALM ANY MISUNDERSTANDINGS ABOUT RIVAL BORDER CLAIMS. DAYS AFTER FIGHTING BEGAN, THE MEN SPOKE ON THE TELEPHONE. BOTH SAY THEY TRIED TO CONVINCE THE OTHER THAT WHAT WAS GOING ON ALONG THE BORDER WAS A MISTAKE, THAT THE TWO SIDES SHOULD PULL BACK AND AVOID MORE FIGHTING. BOTH NOW BLAME THE OTHER FOR REFUSING TO SEE REASON, EACH SAYING THEY ACTED TO PROTECT THEIR COUNTRY FROM FOREIGN INVASION. PRIME MINISTER MELES SAYS HE AND PRESIDENT ISAYAS HAVE NEVER BEEN THAT CLOSE, THAT THEIR PREVIOUS ALLIANCE WAS PURELY POLITICAL. /// MELES ACT ONE /// WELL, AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, THE PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP I HAD WITH ISAYAS WAS BASED ON NOT THINGS PERSONAL. SO THE BASIS OF THAT FRIENDSHIP WAS ESSENTIALLY POLITICAL. IT'S NOT BECAUSE WE ARE GOOD NEIGHBORS. /// END ACT /// ONCE THEY SUCCEEDED IN TOPPLING THE MENGISTU GOVERNMENT, PRIME MINISTER MELES SAYS HE AND PRESIDENT ISAYAS PRETTY MUCH WENT THEIR OWN WAYS AS ERITREA DECLARED ITS INDEPENDENCE FROM THE REST OF ETHIOPIA. /// MELES ACT TWO /// THE PILLAR OF THAT RELATIONSHIP WAS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TWO GOVERNMENTS AND TWO MOVEMENTS, AND WHEN THAT FALLS OUT, THERE ISN'T MUCH OF A PILLAR LEFT. /// END ACT /// BOTH SIDES HAVE CRANKED UP AN OFTEN-VICIOUS PROPAGANDA WAR, PERSONALLY ATTACKING EACH OTHER'S CHARACTER AND MOTIVES. PRIME MINISTER MELES SAYS THE ACTIONS OF ERITREA'S GOVERNMENT ARE NOT THE ACTIONS OF A SANE MAN. PRESIDENT ISAYAS DESCRIBES THE PRIME MINISTER AS "TIMID," A MAN WHO, HE SAYS, SPENDS TOO MUCH TIME IN MEETINGS. PRESIDENT ISAYAS SAYS THE WAR IS A RESULT OF THE INFERIORITY THAT PRIME MINISTER MELES AND OTHER ETHNIC TIGRAYANS FEEL TOWARD PEOPLE WHO MIGHT CHALLENGE THEIR LEADERSHIP. /// ISAYAS ACT ONE /// THE TIGRAYANS GENERALLY HAVE ALWAYS FELT THAT THEY HAVE BEEN DEHUMANIZED AND UNDERMINED OR NEGLECTED BY THIS SPECIAL GROUP. IT IS A VENDETTA. IT IS A REVENGE THAT THEY ARE DOING NOW. /// END ACT /// PRESIDENT ISAYAS SAYS PRIME MINISTER MELES IS OUT OF TOUCH WITH THE MAJORITY OF ETHIOPIANS ON WHOM TIGRAYAN LEADERS ARE NOW IMPOSING THEIR OWN CULTURAL ANXIETY. /// ISAYAS ACT TWO /// IT IS A CULTURAL PROBLEM. IT IS A PROBLEM OF THIS GROUP. THIS IS NO HIDDEN AGENDA. THIS IS A SMALL GROUP THAT HAS DEVELOPED ITS OWN POLITICAL CULTURE AND HAS DEVELOPED ITS OWN WAYS OF DEALING WITH THINGS. I SAY THEY ARE SCHIZOPHRENIC. THEY HAVE NEVER HAD ANY COMMITMENT TO ETHIOPIA. /// END ACT /// PRIME MINISTER MELES SAYS THE WAR IS NOT ABOUT TIGRAYAN CHARACTER. IT IS ABOUT ERITREAN AGGRESSION. /// MELES ACT THREE /// THERE IS NO CULTURAL THING ABOUT INVASION. THERE ARE RULES OF THE GAME THAT APPLY ACROSS ALL CULTURES. ON THE BORDER, THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN CLAIMS AND COUNTER-CLAIMS . ALL WE SAID IS, YOU DON'T SHOOT YOUR WAY INTO AN AREA THAT IS BEING ADMINISTERED BY ANOTHER PERSON. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH CULTURE AS SUCH. IT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH ACCEPTING THE NORMS OF CIVILIZED BEHAVIOR AS ACCEPTED BY EVERYONE ELSE. /// END ACT /// PRIME MINISTER MELES SAYS HE IS SURPRISED THAT AFTER SUFFERING SO LONG FOR INDEPENDENCE, PRESIDENT ISAYAS WOULD LEAD ERITREA INTO WAR TO SATISFY WHAT HE CALLS THE PRESIDENT'S MISGUIDED GRAB FOR REGIONAL POWER. /// MELES ACT FOUR /// I WAS VERY DISTURBED THAT A PEOPLE WHO HAD GONE THROUGH THE SUFFERING OF WAR FOR 30 YEARS, WHO WERE CRAVING PEACE, WHO LIKE US WERE VERY POOR, EXTREMELY POOR, VERY LIMITED RESOURCES AVAILABLE, WOULD BE RISKING SQUANDERING ALL THIS ON THE ALTAR OF GRANDEUR. /// END ACT /// THIS DEEPLY PERSONAL CONFLICT BETWEEN TWO MEN AND TWO NATIONS IS BECOMING ONE OF THE WORLD'S BIGGEST WARS. THERE ARE MORE THAN 300-THOUSAND TROOPS ALONG A ROCKY BORDER WITH SOVIET-ERA TANKS AND FIGHTER JETS. MILITARY OBSERVERS ESTIMATE MORE THAN 40-THOUSAND DEAD IN LESS THAN A YEAR.

    Extractions: Dr.Steven Kaplan "Sooner or later everyone who works with Ethiopian Jews in Israel is referred to Dr. Chaim Rosen. If they're lucky, it's sooner rather than later. American born and educated, Rosen spent four years in Ethiopia with the Peace Corps and collecting data for his University of Chicago doctorate. He is therefore the only person in Israel who brings both academic training and first-hand experience in Ethiopia to his work with Ethiopian Jews. Soft-spoken and unassuming, Rosen eschews politics and bureaucratic infighting in order to reach as many people as possible. Although officially employed by the Ministry of Immigrant Absorption, he makes his expertise available to anyone who works with Ethiopians." Rosen's message is essentially a simple one: Only by learning the categories and terms that Ethiopian Jews use to understand the world can we begin to make sense of their behavior in Israel. Only through an appreciation of how they believe a child should be raised, a youth should behave, and an adult must act will we be able to comprehend the conflicts they face and work with them toward solutions. Under the sponsorship of Hadassah Women's Council, Rosen has developed and disseminated his ideas in a series of papers and articles. He rapidly became the Dear Abby (or should we say the Dr. Ruth?) of those working with Ethiopian immigrants, answering questions on almost every aspect of Ethiopian life: What's the best way to phrase an invitation? Why do they seem to have so many names? Why do they accept apartments in one city, but not in another?

    http://www.afrol.com/Categories/Culture/cul011_axum_obelisk.htm
    
    Extractions: afrol.com, 4 December - The Axum Obelisk, one of the most representative monuments of the ancient Ethiopian culture, was shipped to Rome in 1937, during the Italian occupation. Since then, it has decorated the Roman Piazza di Porta Capena and the Ethiopian Government demands its return to the real owners. According to PANA, the Committee on Ethiopia's Axum Obelisk now has given the Italian Government until February 2001, to dismantle and return the monument to Ethiopia after noting its deep concern over the lack of progress towards the implementation of agreements signed between Ethiopia and Italy for the return of the Obelisk. The Obelisk, measuring 180 tons and 24 metres height, is one in a group of six obelisks, erected as funeral monuments in the ancient capital of Axum when Ethiopia converted to Christianity during the reign of Emperor Ezana, in the mid-forth century. The monument, however, has suffered a series of damages through history, making a possible transport back to Ethiopia a delicate issue.

    Extractions: National Parks Ethiopian Music Ethiopian Coffee Ethiopian Coffee ... Bravenet Counter Stats Ethiopia is truly a Land of discovery - brilliant and beautiful, secretive, mysterious and extraordinary. Above all things, it is a country of great antiquity, with a culture and traditions dating back more than 3,000 years. The traveller in Ethiopia makes a journey through time, transported by beautiful monuments and the ruins of edifices built long centuries ago. Ethiopia, like many other African countries, is a multi-ethnic state. Many distinctions have been blurred by intermarriage over the years but many also remain. The differences may be observed in the number of languages spoken - an astonishing 83, falling into four main language groups: Semitic, Cushitic, Omotic and Nilo-Saharan. There are 200 different dialects. The Semitic languages of Ethiopia are related to both Hebrew and Arabic, and derive from Ge'ez, the ecclesiastical language.
