Fikrejesus Amahazion, a Horn of Africa scholar focusing on African development, human rights and political economy, points to another irony of the current food crisis: | ፍቅረየሱስ አምሀፅዮን የተባለ የአፍሪካ ልማት፣ ሰብኣዊ መብቶች እና ፖለቲካዊ ኢኮኖሚ ላይ የሚያተኩር የምሥራቅ አፍሪካ ምሁር ደግሞ የረኀብ ቀውሱን በተመለከተ ሌላ አስተዛዛቢ ጉዳይ ጠቁሟል: | English | Amharic |

In order to fully understand the crisis it is imperative to recognize that while the environment has been an important contributing factor, a range of other structural socio-political and governance dynamics, including corruption, the lack of rule of law or democracy, poor governance, failures in long-term planning, and misplaced national and development priorities have also been highly influential. | ሁኔታውን በጥቅሉ ለመረዳት የአካባቢ ሁኔታ አንዱ ምክንያት እንደሆነ ቢታወቅም፣ በተጨማሪም ማኅበረ-ፖለቲካዊ እና የአስተዳደር ሁኔታው፣ ሙስና፣ የሕግ የበላይነት እጦት፣ የመልካም አስተዳደር አለመኖር፣ የረዥም ግዜ ዕቅድ ክሽፈት፣ የተሳሳተ ብሔራዊ እና የልማት ትኩረት ከፍተኛ ተፅዕኖ ያሳድራሉ፡፡ | English | Amharic |
Finally, Paul Dorosh, director at International Food Policy Research Institute's Development Strategy and Governance Division, and Shahidur Rashid, senior research fellow at the institute’s Markets, Trade, and Institutions Division, are hopeful that the drought will not lead to famine: | በመጨረሻም፣ የዓለምዐቀፉ የምግብ ፖሊሲ ምርምር ተቋም፣ የልማት ስትራቴጂ እና አስተዳደር ክፍል ዳይሬክተር ፖል ዶሮሽ እና የተቋሙ የገበያ፣ ንግድ እና ተቋማት ክፍል የበላይ ተመራማሪ ሻሂዱር ራሺድ ድርቁ ወደ ረኀብ እንደማያመራ ተስፋ ያደርጋሉ: | English | Amharic |

By heeding the lessons of past famines, the government and the international donor community can help ensure that there is sufficient availability of cereals to supply Ethiopia’s food needs and sufficient transfers in cash and in kind to provide needy households with adequate access to food. | ከቀድሞ ረኀቦች ትምህርት በመቅሰም መንግሥት እና ዓለምዐቀፍ ለጋሽ ማኅበረሰቦች ለሚያስፈልጋቸው የእህል አቅርቦት እና በገንዘብም ይሁን በቁስ የሚያስፈልገውን ነገር ሁሉ ቀድሞ ማዘጋጀቱን እና ምግብ ለሚያስፈልጋቸው መድረሱን ያረጋግጣሉ፡፡ | English | Amharic |

One example of this trend is the last-minute cancellation last year of two concerts featuring Teddy Afro, a prominent Amharic singer and song writer.Teddy has a great popular appeal and is widely known as the most successful musician in Ethiopia. | ባለፈው ዓመት ሊያቀርባቸው የነበሩ ሁለት ኮንሰርቶች በመጨረሻዋ ደቂቃ የተሰረዙበት ዕውቅ የአማርኛ ዘፋኝ እና የዜማ ጸሐፊ ቴዲ አፍሮ አንዱ ምሳሌ ነው፡፡ ቴዲ ትልቅ ሕዝባዊ ተቀባይነት ያለው እና በእጅጉ ስኬታማ መሆን የቻለ ኢትዮጵያዊ ዘፋኝ ነው፡፡ | English | Amharic |
Teddy, who was released from imprisonment on hit and run charges he always denied in 2009, said his team was refused permission to hold the concerts scheduled for last September, without speculating as to why. | ቴዲ፣ እሱ እስካሁን ባላመነው ገጭቶ የማምለጥ ክስ ታስሮ በ2001 ከተፈታ በኋላ ባለፈው ዓመት መስከረም ወር ላይ ሊያቀርባቸው የነበሩ ኮንሰርቶች፣ ምክንያቱ ሳይገለጽ ፈቃድ መከልከላቸውን ተናግሯል፡፡ | English | Amharic |
It seems most likely the cancellations are part of a continuing government campaign against the musician since his release of songs critical of the regime in 2005, three years before he was imprisoned. | የኮንሰርቶቹ መሰረዝ ቴዲ ከመታሰሩ ሦስት ዓመት ቀደም ብሎ፣ በ1997 ከለቀቃቸው መንግሥትን የሚተቹ ዘፈኖች በኋላ የቀጠለ የአፈና ዘመቻ ይመስላል፡፡ | English | Amharic |
However, censorship is noticeably harsher as regards the Oromo, Ethiopia's single largest ethnic group, which is viewed as a threat by a government packed with politicians from the northern Tigray minority. | ይሁን እንጂ አፈናው በኢትዮጵያ ብዙ ሕዝብ ባለውና ከሰሜናዊው የሕዳጣን ትግራይ ክልል ውስጥ ለወጡት የመንግሥት ፖለቲካ አመራሮች ተቀናቃኝ ይሆናሉ የሚባሉት ኦሮሞዎች ዘፋኞች ላይ እንደሚበረታ ይስተዋላል፡፡ | English | Amharic |
According to reports at least 17 Oromo singers whose lyrics show nationalistic tendencies were banned from air waves in December 2015 by the Ethiopian Broadcast Authority. | አንዳንድ ሪፖርቶች እንደሚያሳዩት፣ የኢትዮጵያ ብሮድካስት ባለሥልጣን ግጥሞቻቸው የብሔርተኝነት አዝማሚያ” አላቸው ተብለው የሚታሰቡ ቢያንስ 17 የኦሮሞ ዘፋኞች ዘፈኖችን እንዳይሰራጩ አግዷል፡፡ | English | Amharic |
Oromo singers often produce music that articulates strong pride in their national and cultural heritage, whether through lyrics or the incorporation of traditional instruments and melodies. | የኦሮሞ ዘፋኞች ብዙውን ጊዜ ብሔራዊ ማንነትን እና ባሕላዊ ቅርሶችን የሚያወድሱ ዜማዎች በግጥሞች ወይም በባሕላዊ መሣሪያዎች እና ዜማዎችን በመጠቀም ይጫወታሉ፡፡ | English | Amharic |
The latest ban has encompassed songs that appear to be far from overtly nationalistic, including the songs of the two musicians the author interviewed for this piece. | የቅርብ ጊዜ እገዳው ደግሞ ብሔርተኛ ከሆኑ ሙዚቃዎችም ውጪ ሆኗል፡፡ ይህ እገዳ ከላይ የተጠቀሱት ሁለት ድምፃውያን ዘፈኖችን ይጨምራል፡፡ | English | Amharic |
This signifies a clampdown on even moderate forms of cultural self-expression. | ይህ የሚያሳየው መደበኛ የባሕላዊ መገለጫዎችንም መንግሥት ማፈን መጀመሩን ነው፡፡ | English | Amharic |
A counterproductive policy | የማጨናገፍ ፖሊሲ | English | Amharic |
According to academic Michael Shawn Mollenhauer, who wrote his doctoral dissertation on the topic of censorship of Oromo culture in Ethiopia, the current government uses Oromo musicians to present a facade of cultural diversity while systematically imprisoning and intimidating independent singers. | ማይክል ሻውን ሞለንሀወር የተባሉ ምሁር ለዶክትሬት ዲግሪያቸው ሟሟያ በሠሩት ጥናት ላይ የኦሮሞ ባሕል ላይ ኢትዮጵያ ውስጥ ስለሚደረግ ሳንሱር በጻፉት ጽሑፍ፣ አሁን ያለው መንግሥት የሚፈልገውን ዓይነት የባሕል ብዝኃነት የሚያሳዩለትን የኦሮሞ ሙዚቀኞች እየተጠቀመ ነጻና ገለልተኛዎቹን ዘፋኞች ግን በዘዴ ለውክቢያ እና እስር ይዳርጋቸዋል፡፡ | English | Amharic |
Hawi Tezera's story is an indicator that the state's grip on any form of freedom of expression is getting ever-tighter, with controls over music reaching a new low. | የሐዊ ተዘራ ታሪክ መንግሥት የደረሰበት ራስን የመግለጽ ነጻነትን የማፈን ደረጃ ምን ያክል ይበልጥ እንደጠበቀ እና ሙዚቃንም ጭምር እስከማፈን እንደወረደ ማሳያ ነው፡፡ | English | Amharic |
However, the crackdown is not having the desired effect. | ነገር ግን፣ እርምጃው የሚፈለገውን ውጤት እያመጣ አይደለም፡፡ | English | Amharic |
If anything, music censorship has helped strengthen Oromo nationalism. | የሙዚቃ ሳንሱሩ የፈየደው ነገር ቢኖር የኦሮሞ ብሔርተኝነትን መጨመሩ ነው፡፡ | English | Amharic |
The overwhelming majority of Oromos already felt that their identity was being attacked unjustly, and the intensification of state harassment against a background of growing political unrest is tipping them over the edge. | ብዙኃን ኦሮሞዎች አሁን ማንነታቸው አላግባብ እንደተጠቃ ይሰማቸዋል፤ የፖለቲካ ተቃውሟቸው ላይ በመንግሥት እየተሰነዘረ ያለው ጥብቅ ጥቃትም ብዙዎቹን ወደጠርዝ እየገፋቸው ነው፡፡ | English | Amharic |

A viral detergent commercial showing a black man being stuffed into a washing machine by his Chinese girlfriend and washed into a handsome, light-skinned Chinese man sparked outrage outside China this week for its overt racism. | ከፍተኛ ስርጭት ያገኘው አንድ ጥቁር ሰው በሴት ፍቅረኛው ማጠቢያ ማሽን ውስጥ ገብቶ ታጥቦ” ሲወጣ መልከመልካም፣ ነጭ ቆዳ ያለው ቻይናዊ ሰው የሆነ፣ የማጠቢያ ኬሚካል ማስታወቂያ ከቻይና ውጪ ያሉ ሰዎችን በዘረኛነቱ አስቆጥቶ ሰንብቷል፡፡ | English | Amharic |
The detergent company, Qiaobi, quickly apologized and withdrew the commercial, but its public statement accused foreign critics of overreacting. | የማጠቢያ ኬሚካል አምራቹ ኩባንያ፣ ኪያኦቢ ወዲያው ይቅርታ ጠይቆ ማስታወቂያውን አንስቷል፡፡ | English | Amharic |
Many Chinese web users supported their defensive stance, saying the ad only reflects cultural differences rather than racism and proclaiming that it is impossible for Chinese to be racist toward black people. | ብዙ የቻይና ዜጎችም በኢንተርኔት ላይ ማስታወቂያው የባሕል ልዩነትን ከማሳየቱ በቀር ምንም ዘረኝነት የለውም፤ የቻይና ሕዝብ በጥቁር ሕዝብ ላይ ዘረኛ ሊሆን አይችልም በማለት ኩባንያውን ደግፈውታል፡፡ | English | Amharic |
Outside China, people may find this ad racist. | ከቻይና ውጪ፣ ሰዎች ይህን ማስታወቂያ እንደዘረኝነት ሊያዩት ይችላሉ፡፡ | English | Amharic |
But in China, it is different. | በቻይና ግን የተለየ ነው፡፡ | English | Amharic |
It is just an ad. | በቃ ማስታወቂያ ብቻ ነው፡፡ | English | Amharic |
Each country has its own culture, and viewpoints are also difference. | ሁሉም አገር የራሱ ባሕል አለው፤ አመለካከቶችም ይለያያሉ፡፡ | English | Amharic |
The company can produce another ad and stuff a hairy white guy into washing machine. | ኩባንያው ፀጉራም ነጭ ሰውዬ ማጠቢያ ማሽን ውስጥ ሲገባ መሥራት ይችላል፡፡ | English | Amharic |
Tell the Americans that we discriminate against blacks and whites. | አሜሪካኖቹን ነጭ እና ጥቁሮችን እንደምናገል ንገሯቸው፡፡ | English | Amharic |
Are you satisfied? | ይህ ያረካችኋል? | English | Amharic |
There is no problem with the ad. Please don't import the political correctness about racism to China. | ማስታወቂያው ችግር የለበትም፤ የፖለቲካ ትክክለኝነትን ጉዳይ በዘረኝነት ሥም እባካችሁ ወደቻይና አታምጡብን፡፡ | English | Amharic |
Yellow-skinned people have never enslaved black-skinned people, have never forced them into labor or sold them on the open market. don't have the Ku Klux Klan or racial segregation. | ቢጫ ቆዳ ያላቸው ሕዝቦች፣ ጥቁር ቆዳ ያላቸውን ሕዝቦች ቅኝ ገዝተው አያውቁም፤ ለጉልበት ሥራ አላስገደዷቸውም፤ በክፍት ገበያ አልሸጧቸውም፡፡ | English | Amharic |
Go after your real enemy. | እውነተኛ ጠላታችሁን እዛው ፈልጉ፡፡ | English | Amharic |
Only when white people discriminate against black people is it racism. | ዘረኝነት ነጮች ጥቁሮችን ሲያገሏቸው ብቻ ነው፡፡ | English | Amharic |
The discrimination against black-skinned people by yellow-skinned people is just cultural difference. | ቢጫ ቆዳ ያላቸው ጥቁር ቆዳ ያላቸውን ካገለሉ የባሕል ልዩነት ነው፡፡ | English | Amharic |
Whites are born racist. | ነጮች ናቸው ዘረኛ ሆነው የሚወለዱት፡፡ | English | Amharic |
To prevent the avalanche of negative press from spinning into a diplomatic crisis, Foreign Ministry spokesman Hua Chunying stressed that spot was an isolated incident and that the Chinese are good brothers with African countries. | የፕሬስ አቤቱታውን ጎርፍ ለማስቆም፣ የቻይና የውጭ ጉዳይ ሕዝብ ግንኙነት ሁዋ ቹኒንግ ማስታወቂያ ጠቅላላ ሁኔታውን የሚገልጽ ሳይሆን የተለየ ክስተት እንደሆነ በአጽንኦት ተናግረው፤ ቻይኖች ከአፍሪካ አገሮች ጋር መልካም ወንድሞች” ናቸው ብለዋል፡፡ | English | Amharic |
Though the commercial is indeed an isolated production, the denial of racism against black people existing in China and the claim that the Chinese are nothing but good brothers to black people are inaccurate, two anthropology students argued on investigative journalism platform The Initium. | ምንም እንኳን ማስታወቂያው ብቸኛ አጋጣሚ ቢሆንም ቻይኖች ለአፍሪካውያን መልካም ወንድሞች” ናቸው በሚል ዘረኝነቱን እንዳለ መካዱ ግን ትክክል አይደለም በማለት ሁለት የአንትሮፖሎጂ (የባሕል ጥናት) ተማሪዎች ተሟግተዋል፡፡ | English | Amharic |
But, they said, such racism has become so normalized that many Chinese fail to even see it. | ነገር ግን፣ ይህ ዓይነቱ ዘረኝነት ከመለመዱ የተነሳ ቻይኖች ማስተዋል እንዳይችሉ ሆነዋል፡፡ | English | Amharic |
The Chinese Communist Party, after taking control of China in 1949, did attempt to unite with their oppressed African brothers against Western imperialism. | በ1949 ሥልጣን ከያዘ በኋላ ከተጨቆኑ የአፍሪካ ወንድሞቻቸው” ጋር በምዕራባውያን ኢምፔሪያሊዝም ላይ ለመተባበር ሞክረዋል፡፡ | English | Amharic |
