By Amanda Leigh Lichtenstein Long Live the Girls! It was a chant heard on the streets of Addis one rainy Wednesday afternoon in early August. Who were these girls breaking into spontaneous manifesto? These were young women writers with a message, arresting traffic in the bustling Arat Kilo neighborhood to provoke new thinking and dialogue on girls and women in Ethiopia. They are part of a new girls’ empowerment through creative writing initiative called Long Live the Girls, creating safe spaces for girls and women to have the power to speak out and write with freedom. LLTG was founded in 2012 through a partnership between Break Arts: International Arts and Education Collaborative, and Action for Youth and Community Change, based in Hawassa, Ethiopia. Led by Kidist Tariku, a young women’s rights activist from Ethiopia, and Amanda Leigh Lichtenstein, a poet from the U.S., the two designed the first LLTG project, GIRL MANIFESTO, to turn gender-speak on its head. They w

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by bacteria whose scientific name is Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It was first isolated in 1882 by a German physician named Robert Koch who received the Nobel Prize for this discovery. TB most commonly affects the lungs but also can involve almost any organ of the body. Many years ago, this disease was referred to as "consumption" because without effective treatment, these patients often would waste away. Today, of course, tuberculosis usually can be treated successfully with antibiotics. Many researchers argue that a person can become infected with tuberculosis bacteria when he or she inhales minute particles of infected sputum from the air. The bacteria get into the air when someone who has a tuberculosis lung infection coughs, sneezes, shouts, or spits (which is common in some cultures). In Ethiopian TB patient is in comma if the patient is HIV positive. This study is conducted in Hawassa City in SPNNR, Ethi

Kala Kinkino Kia By KINKINO KIA Abstract After a long period of centralization attempt of the successive Ethiopian rulers proved failure, the new rulers of Ethiopia started to reverse it. The centralized state structure and political thinking that had survived for more than a century has been replaced by new kinds of political ‘ambitions’ and ‘aspirations’ based on regional autonomy and ethnic self-determination, followed by restructuring of the State on a different ideology, which is described as ethnic federalism. Ethnic federalism was introduced in Ethiopia in 1991 when the Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) came to power and launched the idea of “self-determination for the nationalities”, up to and including secession, devolving political, administrative and economic power to ethnically defined regional states.   The 1995 constitution which formally declared the federal state of Ethiopia is among one of the few constitutions in the world which
