 Ethiopian clothing

This article describes the different garments of traditional and

historic Ethiopian clothing.
Bernos (also transliterated Barnos, Burnos) is a wool cloak-like garment and hood woven in one piece, worn by Ethiopian
and Eritrean highlanders. The term seems to be an adaptation of the Maghrebi version of Burnous. Donald N. Levine notes
that the wealthier men of Menz "wear the barnos, a tailored cape made of dark wool."

The bernos was frequently worn by the elite highlanders. Today, average citizens sometimes wear it in traditional ceremonies
and at special occasions. Social status is indicated by the garment's decorative pattern.

Dear friends
Ethiopian suit
An Ethiopian suit or Eritrean suit is
the western name given to the
traditional formal wear of the men of
Ethiopia and Eritrea. It consists of a
long sleeved, knee-length shirt and
matching pants. Most shirts are made
with a Mandarin, band, or Nehru
collar. The suit is made of chiffon,
which is a sheer silk or rayon cloth. A
shawl called a netela or a kuta is
wrapped around the suit. During the
opening ceremony of each Summer
Olympics during Parade of Nations,
the Ethiopian team marched in white
suits.
For informal events, men wear the Ethiopian dashiki. The main
difference between the dashiki and Ethiopian and Eritrean suits is the
collar.The dashiki does not have a collar.The dashiki is similar to the style
worn in West Africa. However, Ethiopian and Eritrean dashikis are
usually white, off-white, or natural cotton. The front is decorated with
Ethiopian and Eritrean themes and motifs. For formal events, the dashiki
suit is worn and consists of a dashiki shirt and matching pants.
In the United States and the Caribbean, Ethiopian and Eritrean suits
are also worn by Rastafarian men. Ethiopian and Eritrean suits are also
worn for weddings, church and synagogue services, as well as other
special occasions.
Welcome to the November edition. We hope you are
enjoying the sunnier days and will consider visiting the beautiful
sites of Ethiopia to support local tourism which has been hit
hard by covid and will take time to recover. We highlight the
wonderful eco lodge Korkor Lodge in the Gheralta mountains
area of Tigray and closer to home Entoto Park is now officially
open – an oasis in the hills just above Addis. Our cover story
is about Ethiopian Fashion and what is worn traditionally and
historically. We also profile a new taxi service with female
drivers! An important documentary film about the tragic
Elephant crisis is also highlighted. We also write about a
wonderful new Braille newspaper the inspired creation of a
young Ethiopian journalist.

63 x 102 inches. It is white with colorful intricately woven borders
called ṭibébé (ጢቤቤ). The tibebe is between 1 and 2 inches at
each end, with two variations: one composed of only one color and
the other with multiple colors and patterns.
The netela can be worn in different ways. For general wear, the
netela covers the back and shoulders and the border is folded up
over the right shoulder. However, when attending church the two
layers of the netela are opened and the border goes over both
shoulders. When the border is worn around the face or shoulders,
it is a sign of mourning, but in moments of leisure the border goes
over the left shoulder.
There are other textiles similar to the netela. There is the foṭa

DRIVERS

Seregela is a transportation company that provides efficient taxi

services by women drivers to corporate and individual clients in
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
As women comprise more than half the population in Ethiopia, it
is our duty to ensure we are providing the necessary employment
opportunities. Empowering women in the work force will have an
immediate positive effect for families, and for the country as a
whole.
Women are often praised for their safety and loyalty. Seregela will
leverage these qualities for market sustainability in our ride sharing
business.
Rosemary is one of the aromatic and warming herbs. It is used
daily for culinary, medicinal purposes and plays a crucial role as an
active ingredient in skincare products. It benefits from moisturizing
skin to maintaining collagen development and fighting free-radicals
with the powerful ingredient found in their little leaves. It helps
keeping the skin elasticity as we age. It can be used as an essential
oil, and rosemary leaves can be enjoyed both fresh and dried.
From my experience, I use Rosemary as a tea, as an astringent
and herbal steam which gives so much relaxation and improves
the health of my skin.

 Discover Ethiopian Herbal Teas
Ethiopia is not just known for coffee but wonderful herbal teas as well.
Many teas are grown organically on small, sustainable farms that
prioritize worker livelihoods and many are grown around the region
of Butajira in the southern highlands. On average, tea farms each have
a land holding of less than one hectare. There, they plant, tend and
harvest their crops by hand at around 7,000 feet in volcanic, nutrient-
rich soil along the Rift Valley.

Lavender Abyssinica using whole Ethiopian

lavender buds - long known for its ability to induce calm,
soothing Lavender Abyssinica is the perfect herbal tea for
bedtime. Made from the dried buds of Ethiopian lavender
flowers, it has a bright and flowery aroma that is beloved
around the world. The buds lift the taste of biscuits or cookies
and can be mixed with mint as a meat rub when not used for
tea. It is naturally caffeine-free.

Ethiopian Mint
With a cool and refreshing taste, this is the most popular herbal
tea in Ethiopia. Smaller-leaved than its European cousin,
Ethiopian Mint has more flavor concentrated in its leaves. It is
native to the Rift Valley where it is grown in volcanic soil at an
altitude of around 7,000 feet. Naturally caffeine-free, it can be
consumed as mint tea alone or added to other drinks to
provide a minty kick.

Moringa
Distinct from its South Asian cousin (Moringa oleifera), African
Moringa (Moringa stenopetala) is native only to Ethiopia and
northern Kenya where it has long been known as a nutrient-
rich “superfood” staple that provides many health benefits. It is
grown in volcanic soil at an altitude of around 7,000 feet. As a
tea, African Moringa tea has notes of black pepper, corn and
green olives. It is naturally caffeine-free.

Abyssinian Sage
With a sweet and savory pine-like flavor, Abyssinian Sage has
both culinary and health-promoting qualities. It has a distinctive
appearance with long, soft-spear leaves, a fuzzy texture and
muted coloring. Its unique flavor is derived from the rich
volcanic soil of southern Ethiopia where it is grown at an
altitude of around 7,000 feet. It is naturally caffeine-free.

 Herbs in Ethiopia
Ethiopia has a long histor y of spice and herb production for the domestic market and has a unique, indigenous
product, Korarima cardamom (Aframomum korarima).Modest quantities of several spices have been expor ted
for centuries to countries in the Middle East and expor tsto Europe have developed over the past twenty
years(Wikipedia).

Definition of herbs
In general use, herbs are any plants used for flavoring, food, medicine, or perfume. Culinar y use typically
distinguishes herbs as referring to the leafy green par ts of a plant (either fresh or dried), from a "spice", a product
from another par t of the plant (usually dried), including seeds, berries, bark, roots and fruits. In Ethiopia several
culinar y herbs are produced: cher vil, chives, coriander, dill, green basil, lovage, mint, oregano, rocolla, thyme,
vernonia, etc. Next to that, the medical herbs produced in Ethiopia are described below.

Medicinal herbs in Ethiopia

1. Ar temisia abyssinica Ar temisia abyssinica or Chikugn (Amharic) is a species of wormwood that is traditionally
used for intestinal problems, for infectious diseases, and is anti-leishmanial (acts against Leishmania parasites). The
whole herb can be used to address tonsillitis,and an infusion is traditionally drunk as a remedy for colds, and
sickness in children.

2. Demakese Ocimumlamifolium Used to treat coughs and colds, the fresh leaves are squeezed and the juice
sniffed.The juice can also be used as an eye rinse for eye infection.Also used formich, an infection of fever with
headache and mouth blisters.

3. Aloe vera , or Eret in Amharic, is known for its cooling and cathar tic proper ties. It is used in Ethiopia for fever,
spleen and liver troubles, as well as‘knee troubles in old age’ and ‘eye treatment’. The juice of the plant would
be used on the breast of nursing mothers to assist with weaning as its bitter taste would discourage the baby
from suckling. The juice of the leaf is also known to be given to a motherin childbir th to ease labour.In western
medicine, the fresh juice of the Aloe vera plant is used as a topical application to cool burns, and the juice is
taken orally for digestive disturbance.

4. Zingibil (Amhar)or Dendabil (Tig.)The rhizome (root) of ginger is popularly used in Ethiopia for stomachache
and respirator y problems. It is chewed or masticated with ‘feto’ (Lepidium sativum) for stomach disorders.It is
also popularly used for its carminative (relieves gas ) and anti-nausea activities.

5. Gisewa (Amhar) or Withania somnifera Known to be used for coughs and asthma, as a narcotic and an anti-
epileptic in Ethiopia. Research notes other traditional uses for headache (as a dressing), paludism (malaria), ague,
fever, stomachache and as a diuretic. The smoke of the burning root is commonly inhaled for ‘Satan beshita’ or
‘devil disease’ (Asres 2001).

6. KeberchoEndemic to Ethiopia, Echinops kebericho, is used for fever and as a taenicidal herb (to expell
tapeworm).The smoke from burning the plant is inhaled to relieve headache and also as a cure for “evil eye”
(possession by evil spirits in Ethiopian folk religion).

 The Ethiopian government has just completed the financing for the
construction of the Assela wind farm thanks to the validation of a
loan agreement previously signed between the Ministry of Finance
and Danske Bank. Denmark’s main bank is supporting the project with
a loan of 117.3 million euros, part of the financing promised by Prague.
The project, which is now entering its construction phase, will provide
100 MW to the Ethiopian electricity grid.

“I am pleased to see that the agreement for the development of the

Assela I wind farm, which will diversify Ethiopia’s energy mix, has been
adopted by Parliament. I am grateful to the Danish government for
generously providing grants and funding on favourable terms. In terms
of capacity development, Ethiopia will also learn and benefit
enormously from the Danish wind energy companies in terms of
production and operation of the facilities,” says Seleshi Bekele,
Ethiopia’s Minister of Water, Irrigation and Energy.

The Assela wind power project is now entering its construction phase.
The facility will be located approximately 150 km south of the capital
Addis Ababa, near the city of Iteya in the regional state of Oromia. Its
construction has been entrusted to Siemens Gamesa Renewable
Energy, a company based in Zamudio, Spain. The park will consist of
29 turbines of 3.45 MW each. The entire installation will inject 100
MW into the Ethiopian electricity grid through a substation to be built
by the state-owned Ethiopian Electric Power (EEP) with a loan of 10
million dollars from the African Development Bank (ADB).

This clean energy project will require an investment of 146 million

euros. In addition to the €117.3 million loan from Danske Bank, the
Ethiopian government will also draw on a €28.7 million grant from the
Danida Business Fund (DBF), a fund administered by the Investment
Fund for Developing Countries on behalf of the government of
Denmark.

The project involves the installation of 29 turbines with each turbine

having the capacity to produce 3.45MW, the construction of access
roads, and a substation as well as the installation of transformers and
generators. Upon completion, the facility is expected to generate CLEAN ENERGY
about 330,000KWh annually and supply sustainable power to over
three million people. PROJECT
An agreement signed between the Ethiopian Electric Power (EEP), UNDERWAY; ASSELA
WIND POWER
Ethiopian electrical power industry and state-owned electric producer,
and Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy stipulates that the Danish

PROJECT
subsidiary of Siemens Gamesa will have control of 60% of the
development of the project, while Simens Gamesa-Spain (the parent
company) will have the remaining 40% control.
The two subsidiaries of the company are also expected to operate
and maintain the Assela wind farm over a period of 5 years.

 ENTOTO NATURAL PARK NOW
OFFICIALLY OPEN
Prime Minister Dr Abiy Ahmed has now inaugurated the Entoto
Natural Park. The Prime Minister on the occasion expressed his
gratitude to those who have contributed towards the construction
of the park, which is part of the Beautifying Sheger Project.
The park has been equipped with various facilities, including sports
centers, restaurants, coffee shops (visitors can enjoy the taste of
authentic Ethiopian coffee at the park served by major brands)
trails for horseback riding, paths for bikes and walking and even a
soccer field. Creation and running of the park has created a range
of job opportunities for local people; some 400 women who used
to make a living by collecting fire wood in the forest – women
you would always see with their backs bent over carrying heavy
and cumbersome bundles of wood which they would sell in the
WO|19
Shirameda area – they have now been trained to work in the
restaurants and cafes in Entoto Park.
A statue has been erected in the park to honour healthcare
workers fighting the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Entoto Park is situated in a densely eucalyptus forested area just
above Addis , often regarded as the “lungs” of Addis Ababa. Many
of Ethiopia’s legendary long distance runners use Entoto in training
and it remains a popular place for foreign visitors and residents to
run.
The entrance with parking is half way up the hill (beyond Shiromeda
market) before you reach Mariam Church but if you keep driving
along the road you can reach another entrance (or exit depending
on which side you approach from) with some parking. The path
then leads you deep into the forest along trails that twist and turn.

 Nature Heals!
“Life is simple if we reflect upon nature and learn from it. People will
remain healthy if they live in harmony with the healing energies of Mother
Nature. The doctor of the future will hopefully be scientifically sound
while being intuitively alert to the signals of nature.

Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food. Modern medical
science is marvelous but is limited by its focus on physical means and
methods of treatment. Methods imposed from outside whether they are
biochemical, mechanical or surgical, they drastically disrupt the body’s
self- regulatory functions and make it vulnerable to toxins and
debilitations. By focusing on relieving short-term symptoms, one ignores
the underlying root of the illness, which is exponentially detrimental to
curing of one’s illness. “ – Late Schree R.N. Kapoor
It’s very true that the simplest healing tools are the most powerful. It’s also
true that these are the ones that are most often overlooked. It should
be a priority to align ourselves with nature every single day — in how
we eat, how we move, and how we relax etc.

Nature is a very powerful healing agent. As much as possible we have to

eat simple healthy foods (whole-food plant-based) and hang out in
nature (by the sea or ocean, spend time with animals , exercise outside,
get out hands dirty, let our skin soak up the sun, walk through the fields,
through a rainforest, walk barefoot on the grass or sand etc.) as much as
possible.

Richard Louv, the author of “Last Child in the Woods” writes about the
importance of nature in the lives of children. He coined the term, “nature
deficit disorder”.

According to Richard Louv, “Nature deficit disorder describes the human

costs of alienation from nature, among them: diminished use of the
senses, attention difficulties, and higher rates of physical and emotional
illnesses. The disorder can be detected in individuals, families, and
communities, nature deficit can even change human behavior in cities,
which could ultimately affect their design, since long-standing studies
show a relationship between the absence, or inaccessibility, of parks and
open space with high crime rates, depression, and other urban maladies.

Let me finish with few quotes:

"I felt my lungs inflate with the onrush of scenery—air, mountains, trees,
people. I thought, 'This is what it is to be happy.'" —Sylvia Plath, The Bell
Jar

"Not just beautiful, though—the stars are like the trees in the forest, alive
and breathing. And they're watching me." —Haruki Murakami, Kafka on

 Travel out to Help Out!

With the feeling that perhaps Ethiopia is over the worst of the
pandemic, Ethiopia is now getting back to work. The State of
Emergency was not renewed in early September, Government
offices are gradually opening with different offices set to open over
the coming month, and the country is now opening for tourism.
However, it comes as no surprise that there are almost no
international tourists, band this does mean that the tourism
industry is on its knees. Guides, scouts, cooks, drivers and hotel
workers have often not had any source of income since mid March.
It is essential that these tourism workers begin to earn some
money. Ethiopia desperately needs its own people to support this
sector.This is the time for people living in Addis and the other cities
to Travel out to Help Out! And what a time to do it: all of the
tourism sites are empty. So you can visit and take your family to see
Lalibela, the Simiens, Gondar and the rest of Ethiopia's wonderful
heritage – without having a crowd of tourists around you.

Right now hotels and businesses are offering good packages as

they recognise the vital importance of getting some work through,
and keeping the whole supply chain going. Otherwise it will be
really hard to gear up when tourism does take off, and in the
meantime the personal suffering of individuals will be enormous.
So PLEASE consider head out of Addis for a long weekend, and
maybe in the December / January holidays travel out again. There
is so much to see, and in all tourist sites you will be welcomed
with open arms.

Coming soon – a sponsored bike ride to help guides, scouts, cooks

and others struggling with the lack of any tourism income.
 The new documentary film “Ethiopia’s Elephant Crisis,” by
award-winning American journalist and filmmaker Antoine
Lindley, brings to the forefront the challenges that Ethiopia
faces in wildlife conservation, especially its efforts to save its
endangered elephants. Ethiopia has already lost its black rhino,
now it is losing its elephants…
Commissioned by Ethiopian Wildlife Conservation Authority
with support of UNDP and GEF , the ground breaking 40-
minute documentary film follows filmmaker/journalist Antoine
Lindley to some of the most remote parks of Ethiopia to tell
the story of the challenges and conservation efforts to save
what could be Ethiopia’s last elephants.
Since the 1980’s Ethiopia has lost 90% of its elephants. Today,
Ethiopia’s elephant population is estimated to be less than
1,900; that number is rapidly dropping due to poaching for
ivory, habitat loss, and human-elephant conflicts.
“I made this film to give a voice for Ethiopia’s endangered
elephants,” said filmmaker Antoine Lindley. It is one thing to
read or hear about the challenges facing elephant conservation
in Ethiopia, but to actually document it through film is a
powerful visual tool that I hope will bring more awareness and
solutions.”
The film not only weaves together an engaging storyline of
wildlife survival and conservation efforts, it also displays
captivating sweeping beautiful landscapes while taking viewers
on an adventurous visual safari through Ethiopia’s dense
riverine forests, woodlands, and lush green savannahs.
“Apart from storytelling, it was also important for me to take
a cinematically sophisticated approach so that the viewers can
feel like they were along on the journey,” added Antoine.
“The documentary provides a glimpse into the magnificent
landscapes of our country, the devastating threats facing
elephants across Ethiopia, and the front line heroes and
community members living alongside them, protecting them
and risking their lives every day. Said Greta F. Iori, Regional
Lead Horn of Africa, Elephant Protection Initiative. Will we be
WO|33
able to save our continents’ vital landscape engineers and put an
end to the brutal looting of these natural treasures for generations
to come?”
“Ethiopia’s Elephant Crisis” is set to be released on October 2, 2020
for domestic and international distribution.

 My Experience
as a Yale Young
Global Scholar
By: Betselot Getabicha Dejene

In the summer of 2019, I was given the chance to attend the Yale
Young Global Scholars (YYGS) summer Program held annually
(June-July) in the Yale University campus in New Haven,
Connecticut. This is where I expanded my understanding of
international affairs and globalization and how to develop and
implement positive actions to counteract some worldwide issues.
During the two weeks, I met 169 people from 92 different
countries.

During the two-week-long program, I attended seminars and

lectures held by professors and post-graduate students from Yale
and other universities.The diversity in the sessions helped me learn
to look at things from different perspectives. Addressing problems
that world leaders are currently discussing, led me to understand
the power of proposing effective and feasible solutions. We
discussed current issues and their effects on today’s society and
how to channel them for good causes. I was also part of the
Ethnicity Race and Gender capstone group where my group
members and I chose to research Racial Democracy in Brazil.

Based on my audition, I was also selected to present in the YYGS

Speakers Series. This series follows the TED-talk format and was
attended by students in the International Affairs and Globalization
session and some of the program’s faculty. I gave a five-minute
speech titled The Evolution of Racism. While discussing topics that
matter today I made a lot of friends from all over the world. I am
sure the friendships I made are ones that will last forever.

The program includes different sessions; from politics, law and

economics to literature philosophy and culture. It is an excellent
chance for high schoolers to meet new people and add to their
experience while making friends from all over the world.

Betselot Dejene was one of the founders of One Planet School's

Dinkinesh Club. “I helped plan and execute the D.R.O.P.S project”.
She wanted the chance to showcase her experience at the Yale
Young Global Scholars program because “I believe many students
can learn from my experience and be motivated to apply for the
next session”.

 HONORING ONE CHILD’S CAMPAIGN
TO PROVIDE CLEAN WATER

In 2011 American child Rachel Beckwith tragically lost her life in a

car accident at the age of 9. She had recently donated her 9th
birthday to the charity Water skipping her party and birthday gifts –
so kids she’d never met could have clean water. She raised $220 –
enough to help seven people. But after her death, word of her selfless
less spread around the world and more than 31,000 strangers began
to donate $9 or more in her honor. Her $220 turned into more than
$1.2M funding 143 water projects in Tigray for 37,000 people. On the
one year anniversary of her death her parents and grandparents
came to Ethiopia to meet thousands of the men women and children
that now had clean water because of Rachel. But the story did not
end there. 408 of the 31,000 people that donated to Rachel’s
campaign followed her lead and ran fundraising campaigns of their
own. Five years later that group raised another $1.7M for clean water.
Rachels story touched and continues to touch hearts around the
world and has now impacted more than 100,000 lives. In a world
today seemingly full of so much hatred and violence, Rachel’s life
remains a beautiful reminder of the capacity we have to love and
serve each other.

Read all about how this amazing charity began and how it
continues to impact communities around the world including
Ethiopia with access to fresh water – a basic human right.

LEARNING RENEWED: A SAFE
WAY TO REOPEN SCHOOLS
Education Development Trust, which leads the UK’s £20m
technical assistance to Ethiopia, is supporting education system
leaders globally. Their most recent thinkpiece,
#LearningRenewed, shares a vision for school reopening in
low-income countries.
As education systems around the world begin to emerge from
Covid-19-related lockdown, governments are facing the difficult
decision of when and how to reopen schools, balancing the
risks of widespread learning loss – and the impact this will have
on a generation of learners – with the risks of virus
transmission, which are more significant in low-income settings.
In this report, we propose a middle way between full closure
and reopening, which would not only enable schools to reopen
more safely, but also holds real potential to improve learning
outcomes for some of the world’s most vulnerable children.
Throughout Covid-19 pandemic, Education Development Trust
has sought to be highly responsive to the changing needs of
educators, system leaders and our partners around the world.
In doing so, we have developed an evidence base from which
WO|41
we have developed new thinking, which we call ‘Learning
Renewed’, which reimagines what more effective, equitable and
resilient education systems might look like, and how they might
better withstand future shocks.
We outline our vision for ‘flexible reopening’ of schools,
supplemented by community-based learning. Such new thinking
is necessary – not only due to the epidemiological risk of
Covid-19 transmission, which is heightened in low-income
contexts by large class sizes, poor sanitation and high levels of
inter-generational households, but also because a return to
‘normal’ will fail to solve the learning crisis that existed even
before the pandemic. Partly due to large class sizes and lecture-
style pedagogies, many children in low-income countries
complete primary education lacking even basic reading, writing
and arithmetic skills. We must therefore consider not only how
to reopen schools, but how to improve learning outcomes for
the children who attend them.
We therefore propose a ‘middle way’ between full closure and
full reopening, featuring smaller, tutorial-style classes attending
school on a part-time basis, supplemented by community-
based learning. This responds to a clear and urgent need to
reduce class sizes – enabling social distancing and helping to
ensure that pupils receive more direct feedback and guidance
than would be possible in the large, overcrowded classrooms
that are common in low-income contexts. Moreover, given that
many students will lack a suitable environment, literate family
member, or access to technology to support their learning at
home, we advocate the use of non-formal learning
opportunities at the community level, supported by a literate
facilitator, to supplement formal schooling.
There are of course key conditions of success for such a model,
not least adequate professional and pedagogical training for
teachers, facilitators and school leaders, and ensuring parental
buy-in. The use of technology should also be carefully
considered and integrated into community-level learning in a
way that is pedagogically helpful and context-appropriate, and
centralised teaching resources will need to be developed to
reduce burdens on teaching staff. Crucially, the quality of
provision also needs to be ensured, and disaggregated data will
be fundamentally important for identifying and tracking the
engagement of vulnerable groups of students. The model we
propose is not without challenges, but we believe that it offers
real potential to ensure higher quality education provision for
some of the world’s most disadvantaged children.

BRITISH BAKER PAYS HOMAGE
TO ETHIOPIAN COFFEE

The Great British Bake Off (popular British baking series) this
Season highlighted Ethiopian Coffee. Baker Mark paid homage to
Ethiopia with his Ethiopian Coffee Ceremony as part of Biscuit
Week creation!

Northern Irish Mark fell in love with baking at a pie shop in

Edinburgh – he visited every day while he was at university for the
shop’s delicious mac ’n’ cheese pie. Following that early inspiration,
he began to experiment: first attempting (and perfecting) a lemon
drizzle cake and eventually taking on multi-tiered wedding cakes,
each time looking at the science of the bake in order to perfect it.
His style is hugely influenced by his Irish heritage, but also by the
flavours of Africa and Asia, where he travels regularly for his work
as a project manager for public health research programmes. When
he isn’t baking, you can find Mark walking in the Lake District,
indulging his passion for wildlife, or with his wife, travelling and
exploring new places.

 NEW BRAILLE NEWSPAPER “FETIL” DEVISED BY ETHIOPIAN JOURNALIST
A young Ethiopian journalist Fiyori Tewolde has produced
and distributed the country’s first Braille newspaper. Braille is
a system allowing visually impaired people to read by using
raised dots to represent letters that are felt by the fingertips.
“There are around four million Ethiopians with a visual
impairment and I noticed that they didn’t have access to
information - and they miss out on things like job vacancy
announcements that are published in the print media,” Ms
Fiyori told BBC Amharic.
Her pioneering newspaper, which is called Fetil (meaning
“Thread” in the Amharic language), will be published every
Wednesday and will cover social, economic and political
issues. The articles are written by journalists who are
volunteering their time. Ms Fiyori said that it will also include
special investigative reports on the challenges that people
with disabilities face in Ethiopia.
Copies of Fetil’s first edition were given to the Ethiopian
National Association of the Blind, government offices and
other organisations. “When visually-impaired people go to
WO|45
those places we want them to find Fetil on the reception
tables among other newspapers and magazines to read,” Ms
Fiyori said. She said the feedback so far has been very positive
with people appreciating the service.
It will also be sold on the streets of the capital, Addis Ababa
and cost 30 birr which is expensive and more than twice
what the average newspaper costs. The high cost is because
of the special paper that it needs to be printed on. However,
Ms Fiyori hopes to get support from various charities to
subsidise the cost and wants to distribute it free to blind
people. In Ethiopia, people with disabilities, including those
with a visual impairment, are often discriminated against in
the job market and as a result they face economic difficulties.
Braille is the parallel to print as the reading medium for blind
persons. Braille is a tactile writing system used by blind
people. It was invented in 1829 by Louis Braille of France
who was blinded in a childhood accident. At the age of 15 he
modified a military system for reading orders at night without
showing any light (night writing), inventing Braille.

 Ethiopia To Reopen Tourism Sector
Ethiopia’s tourism sector interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic
over the past seven months, will fully be reopened by the end of this
October, Tourism Ethiopia announced.
Tourism Ethiopia director-general, Sileshi Girma said most tourism
facilities including hotels, tour operators and tourist destinations had
halted operations because of the pandemic.
The government has tried to help the sector ease these challenges
posed by COVID-19 by providing loans with low interests and
other incentives, he noted.
However, it was decided to reopen the industry soon as extending
the closure would further distress the sector and affect the national
economy at large, he indicated.
According to Sileshi, the sector will be open for international tourists
based on the National Travelers Safety Protocol developed by the
country to help contain the spread of COVID-19 and protect safety
of tourists.
The protocol is expected to be implemented by all stakeholders in
the industry including hotels, tour and travel agencies, tour
operators, and tourist destinations, he stated.
He pointed out that hotels, tourist destinations and tour operators
are preparing themselves by disinfecting their facilities, training their
employees on how to host guests based on the protocol.
“In this way we can make sure that our tourists will visit the country
WO|47
with the necessary precocious measures to protect themselves from
COVID-19 and contain the pandemic”, he said.
General Manger of the Addis Ababa Hotel Owners’ Association, Daniel
Birehanu said members of the association have been working on the
necessary preparations to reopening their hotels with vital precocious
measures.
According to him, the association has currently been providing special
certificates to hotels that are qualified to render services free from
the risk of COVID-19 and build customers’ confidence.
“Almost 80% of our hotels were closed because of COVID-19. But
now, we have discussed with the relevant actors to reopen services.
Thus, currently the hotels are recalling their discharged employees
because of COVID-19 and making the necessary preparations to
resume services”, he said.
President of Ethiopian Hotel Marketing Association, Getahun Alemu on
his part said that his association is working to re-establish international
market in a bid to help the hotels reinvigorate. “We are working to find
hotel markets for the hotels that are certified with the national
traveler’s safety protocol. Hotels will sign a memorandum of
understanding with other hotels outside of Ethiopia to work on tourist
exchanges which are very important to increase the flow of tourists
to Ethiopia.” According to him, the association is preparing to sign a
memorandum of understanding with Kenyan Hotel marketing
association to create linkage between hotels in Ethiopia and Kenya.
As several new tourist destinations have currently been opening in
Ethiopia including in the capital, the year 2021 will be a big opportunity
for the tourism sector in the country, he noted.
