In Africa’s Vanishing Forests, the Benefits of Bamboo By  TINA ROSENBERG Asosa is not in China, not even in Asia.    It is a district in the west of Ethiopia, on the Sudanese border.   To many people, bamboo means China.   But it’s not just panda food — mountain gorillas in Rwanda also live on bamboo.   About 4 percent of Africa’s forest cover is bamboo . In the district of Asosa, the land is thick with bamboo.   People plant it and manage the forests. They rely on its soil-grabbing roots to stabilize steep slopes and riverbanks, cutting erosion. They harvest it to burn for fuel, to make into charcoal sticks to sell to city dwellers and to build furniture. Soon it may be much more.  Bamboo may provide a solution to a very serious problem:  deforestation.  In sub-Saharan Africa, 70 percent of the people cook their meals over wood fires.  The very poorest cut down trees for cooking fuel; those slightly less poor buy charcoal  made from wood in those same forests.

Intermarriage between Conflicting Groups: The Case of the Arsi Oromo and the Sidama

2.16 Intermarriage between Conflicting Groups: The Case of the Arsi Oromo and the Sidama (Girma Negash) The basic objectives of this study can be summarized as follows:       1. To bring to light and properly document the age-long intermarriage between the Arsi and  the Sidama about whom little seem to be known thus far.       2. To investigate the puzzling paradox how two peoples who perceive one another as enemy, and often at war with each other, happen to intermarry.       3. To identify specific reasons that induced Arsi-Sidama neighbours to look for a partner  from a hostile group.       4.
