Ethiopia’s walk over water

A short life-span for water pumps in Ethiopia can threaten the very well-being of those who rely on it to survive.

A short life-span for water pumps in Ethiopia can threaten the very well-being of those who rely on it to survive.

August 31, 2014 (Aljazeera) — More than 40 million Ethiopians are nable to tap into a sustainable water source just metres below their feet.

Tshay, an Ethiopian mother of three, relies on a broken waterpump to sustain her family. Using her shirt, she filters the worms from the water in an attempt to make it less horrific to drink.

The pump of the hand-dug well next to the mud-lined walls of her home broke.

The river, her alternative water source requires that she spends hours carrying the burdensome 20kg of water several kilometres a day.

Her children suffer the consequences of drinking the contaminated water: Their bodies racked with diarrhea. But she has no choice. Filthy water is better than no water at all.

Water politics

The well by Tshay’s home was a gift that was taken away; a healthy source of life terminated because of a broken pump.

In Africa, there are an estimated 31 million hand-dug wells with about 500 people benefiting from each source. But after five years, up to 70 percent of those pumps will break, leaving frames of a source once tapped.

Government offices cannot handle the maintenance at the required level, because on one hand they do not have enough manpower and logistics and on the other, they do not keep parts in their office due to budget constraints. –  Kebede Fekede, Ethiopian hydrogeologist

As much as water is a source of life, it is also the epicentre of complicated and tense political debate.

Kebede Fekede is an Ethiopian hydrogeologist who consults for non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and private organisations within Ethiopia on the development of groundwater resources.
Fekede said the government first approved the actions of an NGO in Ethiopia, but once the NGO installed the pump and trained locals on how to use it, the regional water committee takes control.
A statement to Al Jazeera from the Ethiopian Embassy in London said that low-maintenance pumps were expected from NGOs, along with training, to assure the pumps can continue functioning after the wells are installed.
“In Ethiopia, the relationship with NGOs is based very much on partnership,” the statement said. “This means that when an NGO operates it does so on the understanding that it will pass on skills and know-how to the local communities so that the projects they initiate are sustainable.”
However, Fekede said even partnerships do not ensure well pumps will remain operable.
“Government offices cannot handle the maintenance at the required level, because on one hand they do not have enough manpower and logistics and on the other, they do not keep parts in their office due to budget constraints.”
Fekede told Al Jazeera that some NGOs use old bike and car parts for the internal structure of a well. He said this can help keep the well running longer and can prove to be an easier fix, if (and when) the system breaks.
“These pumps are cheap and could be easily manufactured locally,” Fekede said.
“It’s two times cheaper to use these parts than imported materials … The most important thing is for people to know what kind of pump they have and to be trained on how to fix that particular system.”
Women and water
Women across the world spend a collective 200 million hours a day collecting water.
For millions of women and girls across Ethiopia, fetching water is a full-time job and consumes time that would otherwise be used for attending school or advancing in a professional career.
Women like Tshay, along with younger girls, are primarily impacted by the lack of clean drinking water because they not only have to drink it, but are also responsible for transporting it.
UNICEF estimates 71 percent of the burden of drinking water is carried on the shoulders of women and girls, sometimes causing growth defects and developmental problems.
The Ethiopian Embassy in London said the impoverished country is making strides with water development that stretches into classrooms.
“Lack of water is a factor in education provision in that if girls [who traditionally do this work] have to collect water, sometimes far from their homes, they are less able to attend school. Ethiopia now provides primary school education to over 98 percent of children – both girls and boys.”
Alternative sources
The Ethiopian Embassy in London also stated that alternative water supplies are being utilised to combat the prevalence of broken wells. “There has been a radical increase in small – and medium-scale irrigation from captured rainwater and from groundwater,” the Embassy said.
In a five year report published in 2014 by the Ethiopian Ministry of Finance and Economic Development, ten million people have benefited from an expansion of water supply in the 2013 fiscal year.
The ministry said this only happened in part because of joint relations between the government, NGOs and donor agencies. But even the Embassy said that has not been enough.
“Nonetheless, to meet … the target of universal access to potable water supply, the efforts of all these actors have to be redoubled.”
The Ethiopian Ministry of Finance and Economic Development’s plan was to increase potable water supply coverage 66.5 percent in rural and 81.3 percent in the urban areas by 2013, construct 25,121 wells and maintain 10,747 rural water sources.
The Ethiopian Embassy in London said, “the targets were ambitious and, though they were not met, the results were still significant when compared to those from when the plan period started (2010) – a 20 percent increase”.

I am really happy, because there is such a big difference. Previously the water directly from the river was without treatment and made us very sick. From this well, we are now really healthy. – Gidessa Gisha, Ethiopian farmer in Baitu community

It said the next target, “is to increase the potable water supply coverage to 98 – 100 percent by 2015″. That’s a benchmark the United Nations Development Program has been pursuing since 1990.

Still, about 30,000 Ethiopian children die from diarrhea each year, and worldwide some 760,000 children under the age of five die from diarrhea linked to waterborne diseases every year – a fear Tshay no longer has to face.

Recently, an NGO provided Tshay’s village with a pump made from spare parts. Tshay gave 50 Birr (about $2.50) to contribute to the cost of the well’s installation. The NGO asked the community to give a total of 600 Birr ($30), to encourage ownership and responsibility in using the well.

Gidessa Gisha, 45, is a farmer with a family of eleven who serves on the local water committee in the Baitu community of southern Ethiopia. He was made responsible for maintaining the fence around the well to protect it from livestock and tends to a community garden fed by the well.

The community’s 600 Birr contribution also gives Gisha a job and ensures the well remains operable.

“I am really happy,” said Gisha, “because there is such a big difference. Previously the water directly from the river was without treatment and made us very sick. From this well, we are now really healthy.”

Gisha is an instrumental leader in his community. Thirty households use the well that fall under Gisha’s authority as he ensures his community remains healthy.

With a budding sense of responsibility, Tshay even calls her new water pump “my well,” and no longer relies on the pit of worm-infested water next to her home.

“My family is now healthy. The whole community is healthy,” Tshay said. “We are saving time [not filtering water] and now have more time to take care of our kids.”

She gives two Birr (about ten US cents) to her community’s water committee every month, to ensure upkeep continues for her only source of healthy and precious water.

For Tshay the contribution is insurance that keeps her family from becoming one of the 768 million people worldwide who lack access to a reliable faucet or pump.

Despite the progress that has been made, the World Bank estimates roughly 40 percent of Ethiopians continue to sift out worms and rely on water like that which devastated Tshay.

Kenya: Ethiopian clashes blamed for spate of killings in Garissa

BY KIPCHUMBA SOME

August 25, 2014, GARISSA COUNTY (Standard Digital News): On the afternoon of June 9, an unlikely incident in Garrissa helped to reveal the faces and reasons behind a spate of mysterious killings that have rocked the county. That afternoon, a man approached Hassan Yusuf Intabur in his shop on Guled Street in Garissa Town, pulled out a gun concealed in his right hip, and shot him in the head. The gunman then pumped seven more rounds into Intabur’s body until his gun jammed. When this happened, members of the public who had taken cover spotted an opportunity to apprehend the suspect. But the attacker had another weapon. From a plastic paper bag he was carrying, he fished out a grenade, removed the pin and hurled it towards the crowd that was surging towards him. However, his backup failed him, too. The grenade landed softly in the soil, and failed to detonate. With nothing left to thwart the mob, the attacker took off on foot, with wananchi hot on his heels. There was pandemonium in the town as the crowd pursued the attacker who, though fleet-footed, seemed a stranger to the town since he did not know seem to know where to escape to. They eventually caught up with him, tackled him to the ground, and gave him a thorough beating before the police arrived to save him from imminent death. With his capture, the police achieved a rare breakthrough in solving a string of killings that had rocked Garrisa since June. Furthermore, the breakthrough uncovered a vicious war of attrition being fought by the Ethiopian government against one of its secessionist movements. Garissa, a small sand-swept town 350 kilometres east of Nairobi, had become the unlikely hunting ground for Addis Ababa’s special forces against the separatists. When questioned by the police, the attacker, who neither spoke English nor Kiswahili, identified himself through an interpreter as Abdirahman Mohammed Hajir, a chief inspector of police in the Somali regional government of Ethiopia. This is a southern part of Ethiopia dominated by ethnic Somalis. A rebel movement from the area has been fighting to secede from Ethiopia since 1984. The region is also alternately known as Ogaden, or Western Somalia, and the main rebel group is the Ogaden National Liberation Front ( ONLF).

REVENGE MISSION For years, Addis Ababa has sought to destroy the group through brutal repression, resulting in the scattering of the movement’s members to neighbouring countries and beyond. Hajir told the Kenyan police that he was a member of the Special Police Force, or the Liyu in Amharic, a feared paramilitary unit mainly dedicated to fighting the separatists. This force was once headed by Abdi Mohamoud Omar, the current president of the Somali Regional Government, and who is staunchly against ONLF. Also known as Abdi Ilay, he is a prominent member of Ethiopian Somali People Democratic Party (ESPD), and longtime close ally of former Prime Minister Meles Zenawi. Although he never implicated any of his superiors, Hajir said he had been given orders to carry out a revenge mission for the killing of one of their supporters in Garissa. “It was an incredible tale, almost too difficult to believe,” said Musa Yego, the North Eastern regional director of the Criminal Investigations Department. “For a long time, we were at a loss on what was happening. We thought it was Al Shabab, but the killings seemed targeted, and it was unlike the group to carry out attacks in broad daylight.” The pressure from the Government to find an answer to the killings was mounting with each attack in the county. Garissa has been the worst hit by a spate of terrorist attacks and unexplained killings that have claimed tens of lives. “We have already done much to battle insecurity here. But because these attacks happened almost at the same time as the ones in Lamu, we were under great pressure to bring the culprits to book,” Yego said.

The genesis of the situation they were trying to resolve goes back to the evening of June 1, when an unknown gunman shot Sheikh Abdi Rashid in Garissa. The elderly furniture businessman was coming from evening prayers when his life was snuffed out by five bullets to the chest. He was among the well-known scholars of Muslim sacred law and theology in the county, and he sometimes preached at Jamia Mosque in Garissa during Ramadan. But Rashid was something else besides being a preacher and a businessman; he was a staunch supporter of the pro-Addis Ababa regional government in Ogaden. He was a founder member of the Union of Western Somali Liberation Front (UWSLF), which supports the Ogaden government, and is said to have moved to Garissa in 1996. Furthermore, he was a distant relative and a close friend of Ogaden’s President Abdi Mohamud Omar. Rashid apparently never cut ties with his original home. The ONLF leadership accuses him of being behind the arrest and harassment of their members and sympathisers in Garissa and other parts of the former North Eastern Province. “He was responsible for inciting the Kenyan police to arrest many of our members in Garissa in 2011,” said Ahmed Farah Mohamud, a member of ONLF and the president of the Ogaden Refugee Council based in Nairobi. “He was a hardliner who took much joy in harassing our members and betraying them to the Ethiopian forces just to please his paymasters,” said Mohamud.

COUNTER-ATTACKS In 2012, Rashid survived an attack outside Guled Hotel in Garissa, which claimed the lives of two men. He escaped with a gunshot wound. Despite their obvious hatred of him, Mohammud said ONLF did not kill Rashid. Instead he accused the Ethiopian government of taking him out to justify a renewed reprisal against rebels in the diaspora. “The government drew up a list of 27 ONLF members it wanted eliminated. I am among those listed for elimination. The government needed an excuse to roll off its plan and it got one through the death of Sheikh Abdi Rashid,” claimed Mohamoud. Whatever the truth might be, the fact is that Rashid’s death unleashed a wave of counter-attacks that briefly confounded security officials and scared the people of Garissa. On the hot afternoon of June 17, another bizarre incident took place at Tawfiq Hotel, opposite Midnimo Supermarket on Guled Street. Midnimo means ‘unity’ in Somali. Â An ONLF sympathiser, Abdirashid Ali Bashir alias Gelkat, a taxi driver in Garissa, was having his meal at the hotel when three people walked in. One of them was Mohammed Dek, a first cousin of the slain Sheikh Abdi Rashid.

Gelkat did not know the other two people and quickly became suspicious On an impulse, he grabbed Dek as gunshots broke the noontime calm. One of the two unidentified men was shooting at them while Gelkat used Dek as a human shield. At the end of the incident, Gelkat had been shot eight times in the abdomen while Dek, had been shot in the buttocks several times. Their attacker took off into the town’s alleyways but not before accidentally dropping personal documents that identified him as Idriss Ali Qoys, a Liyu officer from Ogaden. The two injured men were taken to Garrisa General Hospital then airlifted by police helicopter to Nairobi for specialised treatment at Kenyatta National Hospital. Fearing further attacks on their man despite the heavy police presence, ONLF leaders in Nairobi moved Gelkat to the Aga Khan Hospital.

Both men survived to tell their tales. Dek told the police he was alone, contrary to claims made by Gelkat, while the latter said when he saw his ‘enemy’ with strangers, he concluded that they were up to no good. On the evening of the day of the attack, Khader Ismail Mohammed Guhad, also a taxi driver and ONLF sympathiser, was arrested after members of the public spotted blood in his car. He told detectives that he was the one who took the two injured men to hospital. The police remanded him for further investigations until July 1, when he was released on bond. Guhad was shot dead by an unknown assailant that same evening outside Gateway Hotel, along Kismayo Road in Garissa. Investigators believe that two separate parties from the Liyu police carried out the attacks. The first one was a three-man team led by Idriss Ali Qoys. However, no one in this group was ever captured. LOST TRAIL Dek was in Ethiopia when his cousin Sheikh Abdi Rashid was killed, and he is believed to have come to Garissa with the hitmen. The Qoys group is said to have been behind the botched attempt to kill Gelkat. It is believed that they went underground after the botched operation and waited to ‘redeem’ themselves. They did so on July 1, by killing Guhad, and then left the town. Hajir told investigators that he travelled from Ethiopia through the Kenyan border at Moyale on June 28, with two other colleagues from the Liyu unit. He told CID officers in Garissa that he arrived in Eastleigh, Nairobi, on July 1, before proceeding to Garissa for the mission. He said he was hired in Ethiopia to execute the revenge mission for $800 (about Sh70,000) by people he said he did not know. He had been paid $200 (Sh18,000) for food and travel expenses. He was to be paid in full in Garissa after the hit, at one of the informal Somali money transfer shops known as hawala. Police officers later raided the shop and closed it down.

For the better part of the last two weeks, detectives have been tracking down a man who is said to have travelled from Ethiopia for another revenge attack. He is said to have entered the country through Moyale, like Hajir, and was in constant communication with four other men in Eastleigh. But investigators said that they lost trail of the suspect after laying an ambush for a week. “Somebody seems to have tipped him off on the fact that we were monitoring his calls,” said Yego. On August 3, at around 1:30am, the Kenya police arrested a chief of inspector of police with the Liyu unit called Abdi Abdullahi at a hotel in Eastleigh. ONLF members accuse him of killing one of their top officials, Abdirazak Mohammed Abdi, at the Dadaab refugee camp in August 2011. He was released the next day. Although the police have a total of five people in custody over the attacks, they say they can only charge Hajir with murder and the rest as accessories. The Ethiopian embassy in Nairobi has not responded to requests for a comment.

1. In too much topics says:

   26/08/2014 at 4:03 am

   Though it is too much other topics posted in this ayyaantu website than to focus on a relevant topic like this one:”Breaking News:- AMBO….”, let focus on the relevant topic.

   I learned that at this time no single student is allowed to go outside Ambo University. The University is fenced with Agazi.

   What surprising is member of OPDO are leading the meeting. They also fire a number of Oromo students stating that being a member of ABO. Students are often divided into 4 groups: 100 students per group and the orientation is given by ordinary OPDO members from a district. Sometimes, they mix up all students together and OPDO of the region or zone gives the orientation.

   It appears that OPDO is a strong agent of TPLF and EPRDF to colonize Oromo and Oromia. They fire Oromo students. They forced students against their to attend the assembly. They deprived students free movements and confined them in the University compound. They separate all students from meeting people outside of the University compound.

   They also promised students to give 14 birr per day and 200 birr lump sum finally.

   When students are asking as to whereabouts of other Oromo students, OPDO states as if other Oromo students were sent to their family being a member of ABO.

   Obviously, Oromo means ABO and ABO means Oromo.

   The terse of the training is about to criticize the past regime, appreciate the current regime of TPLF which is of course colonized Oromo and Oromia, and to plan how further strengthen this colonization.

   So then what?

   1) It is better to focus on a person who claim to represent Oromo and Oromia at a top level but coordinate colonization. Muktar Kadir!

   2) It is better to focus on TPLF and EPRDF main leaders including PMDH!

   3) peaceful demonstration and protests against the mercenary TPLF and its Tigree has less significance. It is better to focus on actions: eye for an eye on Tigree wherever it might be.

   4) Diaspora shall immediately call up on third party investigation to release students that confined in the Ambo University.

Ethiopia: Meles Zenawi’s shadow still hangs

Died in 2012, the first former minister is more present than ever. Economic programs and political mores of the country bear his mark.

By OUR CORRESPONDENT IN ADDIS ABABA, JUSTINE Boulo

Ethiopia today follows the economic and political path that drew him Meles Zenawi, Prime Minister for twenty-one years, died August 20, 2012

August 24, 2014 (Le Point Afrique – Google Translation) — Many said of him that he was the “last emperor” of Ethiopia. Came to power by force after the fall of the communist regime, Meles Zenawi has ruled with a rod of iron twenty-one years. Two years after his death August 20, 2012, in the streets of Addis Ababa, on school walls, behind the offices of officials, his picture is everywhere.

An unusual course

At 20 years old, medical student leaves the university and joined the People’s Liberation Front Tigray (TPLF). He takes up arms and led a guerrilla war against the Marxist government of Mengistu Haile Mariam. In 1989, he became president of the TPLF and the Revolutionary Democratic Front Ethiopian People (EPRDF). Two years later, the military junta of the Derg is scanned and it is natural that Meles Zenawi took power in the state. Power he held for twenty-one years. In Ethiopia, it is the man who pulled the country out of starvation. He boosted the industry to achieve double-digit growth in the 2000s icing on the cake: he managed to wear the habit of leading the fight against terrorism in the Horn of Africa. At the time, President Bill Clinton saw in Meles Zenawi one of the “leaders of the African renaissance.” Ask an Ethiopian name his prime minister, he never answer Haile Mariam Dessalegn, yet in the position for two years.

A real sense of anticipation

Meles Zenawi had everything. He had made his runner Haile Mariam Dessalegn since 2010, Article 75 of the Ethiopian Constitution provides that the Deputy Prime Minister “is acting on behalf of the Prime Minister in his absence.” Without consulting the opposition, the EPRDF, the largest component of the ruling coalition, plans Haile Mariam Dessalegn the highest office of state. At first glance, all opposed to his mentor. Dessalegn is a technocrat, a Southerner, discreet and Protestant confession, unlike the leaders of the party, all Tigrayans (ethnic group in the north). But analysts doubt that the elite waives run the country. Some see Dessalegn a puppet of the party.

GTP, the economic will is followed to the letter

Meles Zenawi had foreseen indeed. For 2010 as he launched the GTP – Growth and Transformation Plan. A five-year plan that lays the political guidelines. A bequest that the current government is following to the letter. Industry, education, agriculture, infrastructure, international trade, all sectors are scrutinized to place Ethiopia in mind the dominant economies of the continent. Major projects are gradually made ​​roads, interchanges, railway lines … The train from Addis Ababa to Djibouti is on track and the dam of the Renaissance, built on the Blue Nile, out of the ground. Come see what serenely 2015, an election year in which the opposition hopes to achieve in a year of change. But nothing is less certain with the developmental state (“developmental state” presiding instead of Meles era, regarded as the era of “enlightened despotism”). Along with the gradual democratization, there is the developmental state based on the principle advocated by former Prime Minister himself, inspired by Asian economies. More clearly, it is a liberal based on capitalism but state-controlled economy.

And in this respect, the guideline given that Meles is: export and attract foreign investors. In 2011, he invited the CEO of Huajian, Chinese shoe giant, Ethiopia. Meanwhile, Meles knocking the French Castel and urged him to make wine “made in Ethiopia”. Two years after his death, two plants Huajian suburb of the capital in full swing and the first bottles Castel (1.2 million) are already on the shelves and half is sold abroad.

After the economic continuity, policy continuity

The State encourages. The state controls. No matter the man who runs it. Meles dictated the rules. According to Jean-Nicolas Bach, a researcher at the Institute of Political Studies in Bordeaux, “the state does not admit any dialogue or compromise.” Meles Zenawi did not trust that in his entourage, even to himself, to orchestrate the entry of Ethiopia in 2025 in the community of middle-income countries, “he said. And of He added: “the autocratic rule of Meles Zenawi has been the cost to date to implement the announced development.” In the 2010 elections, his victory was overwhelming with 99% of votes.

In the era Dessalegn few changes that side. In 2012, the International Crisis Group wrote: “In recent years, Meles had relied increasingly on repression to quell growing dissent His successor will struggle to manage the increase in these disorders..” And indeed, the Anti-Terrorism Act, introduced in 2009, continues to hold political opposition and media. In late April, new bloggers and journalists have been arrested and charged with terrorism. As members of opposing parties, they are regularly arrested. Last June, the opponent Andargachew Tsige was extradited from Yemen to Ethiopia, where he was convicted in absentia in 2009 and sentenced to death. This state continuity beyond the men who embody it gives the famous phrase “The king is dead, long live the king” a particular resonance.

   I wonder why Ayyaantuu News has to put up such article? We all know that TPLF and its former prime minster are terrorizing the Oromos and Southern Minorities in Ethiopia. What is the purpose of posting the ugly and brutal face on this website. Gimot 7 leaders such as Andargachew Tsige is not better than TPLF group. They are all our enemies and murderers. Please don’t waste the website to tell us about these people.

Ebola Update: Ethiopia Airlines has said it will continue flights to West Africa

August 24, 2014 (All Africa) — WHO on Saturday said the Ebola virus has killed half of the 2,600 people affected. WHO further said closing borders is not the solution. “The fight against Ebola will take several months,” WHO asserted.

Meanwhile, Sierra Leone has made harbouring Ebola victims a crime punishable with two years in jail. A British national in Sierra Leone has tested negative for the virus. He has since left for UK.

Ivory Coast on Saturday closed all borders with Guinea and Liberia, “to protect its citizens”. Senegal last Thursday closed its borders with Guinea, and issued travel bans people living in Ebola-affected areas.

A Senegalese working with WHO in Sierra Leone reportedly contracted the disease

Gabon over the weekend also issued travel bans on all nationals of Ebola affected areas; Gabonese must also not go to the Ebola-affected areas.

In DR Congo, 13 people have died from Ebola, among them three medical officers. Ebola was first discovered in the DRC in 1976.

Russia over the weekend sent to Guinea eight medical doctors, medicines, and equipment including mobile laboratories.

Ethiopia Airlines has said it will continue flights to West Africa, including the Ebola-affected areas.

List of Ebola outbreaks

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ebola outbreaks have been restricted to Africa with the exception of Reston ebolavirus. The International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses currently recognizes four species of the Ebola: Zaire ebolavirus (EBOV), Sudan ebolavirus (SUDV), Reston ebolavirus (RESTV), and Taï Forest ebolavirus (TAFV). One additional species or type of Ebola is often recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as Bundibugyo ebolavirus (BDBV) or Ebola-Bundibugyo, following the outbreak in Uganda in 2007.

Transmission between natural reservoirs and humans is rare, and outbreaks are often traceable to a single case where an individual has handled the carcass of a gorilla, chimpanzee, or duiker. The virus then spreads person-to-person, especially within families, hospitals, and during some mortuary rituals where contact among individuals becomes more likely. Before outbreaks are confirmed in areas of weak surveillance on the local or regional levels, Ebola is often mistaken for malaria, typhoid fever, dysentery, influenza, or various bacterial infections which may be endemic to the region. Learning from failed responses, such as that to the 2000 Uganda outbreak, public health measures including the WHO’s Global Outbreak and Response Network were instituted in areas at high risk. Field laboratories were established in order to confirm cases, instead of shipping samples to South Africa.

The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Special Pathogens Branch charter to study highly infectious viruses, many causing hemorrhagic fevers, has historically endowed it to closely follow Ebola outbreaks. Compiling scientific journals and public health announcements, the following list is from Known Cases and Outbreaks of Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever, in Chronological Order
