Five Centuries of Ethio-German Relations
AllAfrica.com - Africa
...A crucial period in the creation of
the traditional and special relationship between Germans and the
Oromo were the 1840s, when most Oromo areas were still outside
the control of the Ethiopian kings. Two parallel undertakings of
two South Germans - Tutschek and Krapf - led to a permanent
public interest in Germany into these people and to the
establishment of the first serious Oromo Studies. The first was
the young Bavarian Karl Tutschek, who was nominated teacher of
several Africans, freed slaves, who were brought to Germany by
South German princes - and a few of them were Oromo. Learning to
speak their language from them, he wrote the first existing
Oromo dictionary and grammar (published in 1844 and 1845)....

ETHIOPIA: War Brewing in the Presidential
Palace Eritrea Daily - Perth Amboy,NJ,USA Despite Eritrean hostility, and occasional Eritrean interference (blocking supply routes), UN peacekeepers continue to patrol the neutral zone between Ethiopia and Eritrea. But Eritrean president Isayas Afewerki may be taking the situation further. The four year old truce has not been turned into a permanent peace, mainly because of Ethiopia's refusal to accept a Boundary Commission ruling that favored Eritrea. Then there is the resistance from Eritrea's increasingly erratic and paranoid president. More story

Letter to Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi His Excellency Meles Zenawi We have learned that on August 9, 2004, the Federal High
Court ordered the release on bail of the leadership of Mecha
Tulema, the oldest and most prominent Oromo community welfare
association: President Deribi Demissie; vice president Gemechu
Feyera; treasurer Sintayehu Workneh; and secretariat member
Wzo. Ayelu Atisa. Mecha Tulema and its leadership have been
accused of providing support for the outlawed Oromo Liberation
Front and engaging in ¡§terrorism.¡¨ Upon his release,
President Deribi reported being mistreated while in jail. We
were dismayed to learn that the Ethiopian government then
re-arrested all four on August 16, a week after their release.
