SUMMARY Background: the health impacts of exposure to indoor air pollution have yet to become a central focus of research, development aid and policy-making. Objective: To investigate the effect of household fuel use on acute respiratory infection in younger children at Shebedino Wereda. Study method: The study design was cross-sectional, which employed an exposure assessment approach, collecting detailed primary data on several household-level exposure indicators (fuel type, stove type, kitchen type, housing type, ventilation, etc.) through the administration of a questionnaire in 405 households. Data were collected during January to February 2006. Result: The response rate for the sampled households was 100%. ARI prevalence of the study area (21%) was found to be lower as compared to the national figure in 2000 (24%). The study approach appears to demonstrate a relatively consistent association between child handling practice while cooking and childhood ARI. Conclusion:

We end this brief introduction by formulating an alarming warning for the devious international community our decayed times: when you focus on one, and forget numerous other genocides, more genocides will happen to you.

አምነስቲ ኢንተርናሽናል ኢትዮጵያን በተመለከተ የ2013 ሪፖርት ይፋ አደረገ:: Background In August, the authorities announced the death of Prime Minister Zenawi, who had ruled Ethiopia for 21 years.

Ethiopian forces continued to conduct military operations in Somalia. There were reports of extrajudicial executions, arbitrary detention, and torture and other ill-treatment carried ou
