Abebe Fentahun Misiker 2018-09-09 After 1960s Tewodros II of Ethiopia has been elucidated popularly in foreign and Ethiopian Media as well. Since then, he was portrayed as a national hero of the country. Yet, some foreign media had a different position in describing the aforementioned melting pot of modernity and unity in the history Ethiopian. They stated him from “crazy king” to “national hero”. The BBC witness program broadcasted that Emperor Tewodros II was one of the titanic figures of modern Ethiopian history. While the Telegraph described him as a “mad king of Abyssinia”. Hence, the statements of Media with regard to Tewodros II and his fall at Maqdala will be discussed through different topics of study. Hence, an in-depth study of Media reactions to the battle of Maqdala as seen in foreign and domestic media would require considerable study. The fall of Tewodros II at the battle of Maqdala in 10 April 1868 has become a topic of dialogue and media coverage up to date. Most of the publications represent the battle and the Emperor in different views. Thus, the views and interpretations of media, both foreign and domestic, could be reviewed in detail through this study. The paper argues that the battle of Maqdala and suicidal death of Tewodros II created a long lasting impression to both foreign and domestic media in their perception of the emperor and creating up of modern Ethiopia. Indeed, without Tewodros no modern and united Ethiopia could be formed. https://zenodo.org/record/12 10.20372/nadre:12 oai:zenodo.org:12 doi:10.20372/nadre:11 url:https://nadre.ethernet.edu.et/communities/hahm url:https://nadre.ethernet.edu.et/communities/uog url:https://nadre.ethernet.edu.et/communities/zenodo info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess http://www.opendefinition.org/licenses/cc-by The Melting Pot of Modernity and Unity: Images of Tewodros II in Foreign and Domestic Media info:eu-repo/semantics/article publication-article

Girma Tayachew 2016-08-09 This paper explores the full history of the foundation of Simen Mountains National Park in the Simen part of Ethiopia following the discovery of Walia (Capra Walie). The study shows the struggle of the government and foreign agencies to protect walia ibe by also shedding light on the response of the local people towards the foundation of the national Park. The study critically examines the challenges and opportunities during the process in the foundation of the park. Even though Simen Mountains National Park is one of the known heritage sites in the world, what has been truly missing to date is the study of its amazing history. The existence of more than 30,000 people in the premise of the park is another core problem. The study draws on hitherto untapped files from the archives of North Gondar Zone Administration Office as well as on interviews with historical actors. In addition, attempts have been made to gather qualitative data that are both published and unpublished documents. In 1963 a UNESCO-funded mission discovered walia ibex as one of the endemic animals in Ethiopia. It provided the corner stone for the emergence of the Park. The Simen Mountain National Park was officially established in 1969 on the recommendation of a UNESCO mission in 1963 to save the endemic animals. In 1978 it was registered as a world heritage site. The main challenge remains to maintain and sustain the park as a great heritage site by assessing from the foundation of the first park by critically examining the peoples’ and government’s response to the park https://zenodo.org/record/10 10.20372/nadre:10 oai:zenodo.org:10 doi:10.20372/nadre:9 url:https://nadre.ethernet.edu.et/communities/hahm url:https://nadre.ethernet.edu.et/communities/uog url:https://nadre.ethernet.edu.et/communities/zenodo info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess http://www.opendefinition.org/licenses/cc-by The History and Challenges of Simen Mountains National Park: the Case of Fauna and Flora (1969—1983) info:eu-repo/semantics/article publication-article
