Meles Zenawi's Subterfuge on Pastoralism Abebech Belachew
On January 25, 2011, to mark the 13th anniversary of the Day pastoralists in Ethiopia, Meles Zenawi (TPLF dei Duce [Mussolini TPLF]) gave a speech to Jinka on pastoralism and development for pastoral communities. Before we expose the subterfuge in his speech, a little history of the Ethiopian pastoral Day is the agenda here that many in the Diaspora can not be aware.
On January 25, 1998, an Ethiopian NGO working on pastoral development, pastoral Concern Association of Ethiopia (PSCP), organized a cultural gathering of mass in a place called Filtu, Ogaden for pastoral communities in the surrounding area. At the end of the meeting, resolved that the old pastoral January 25 should be celebrated every year as the day pastors. In 2000, when the Pastorlaist Forum Ethiopia (PFE), a national network of NGOs and PSCP which is a member has been formed, the responsibility to organize the pastoral day was passed in PFE.Subsequently, daily Ethiopian pastoralists have been organized by CTB until 2005 when the government of Mussolini he (Meles), he nationalized and he made himself. This year, the CTB has been completely expelled from the management and Meles has begun to appear for the first time. Therefore, the Ethiopian pastoral Day, became the occasion through which the regime uses as a propaganda tool to fool the pastoral communities. Turning now to what Mr. Meles told Jinka January 25.It should be noted that not only Meles Zenawi, but a large number of Ethiopians and Africans in general, moreover, does not include pastoralism or not the right perception on pastoralism. On the contrary, pastoralism is understood by many Ethiopians in the negative sense, as backward and barbaric. Thus, a brief introduction is necessary from the beginning.
Pastoralism is, first, a traditional way of life whose livelihood system is rooted in animal production.In the same way that small-scale agriculture is a system of traditional livelihoods of the peasantry, livestock is also the livelihood system of pastoral communities. There are about 50 million pastoralists spread across Africa, from Senegal and Mauritania in the west of Ethiopia, Djibouti and Somalia to the east, and San people of Southern Africa (Angola, Zimbabwe , Namibia, Botswana and South Africa). In some countries, pastoralists are the majority and some countries are mainly pastoral in origin. Sudan, Djibouti and Somalia are 100% pastoral through the origin.The pastors are a significant portion of the population on the continent.

The bronzes of Benin are the outcome of a long tradition of bronze casting which can be traced back over more than two millennia to the ancient Nok people, who lived on the plains of Jos and the Yoruba people who flourished between the 10th and the 19th Centuries In the south and west of Nigeria. Among the oldest known African sculptures are terracotta figures created by the Nok people around 500 AD. Superb bronze and terra cotta heads were also made in what is now Ife, Nigeria from the 1200′s onwards. The ‘Obas’ held a monopoly of sculptures in brass – Chiefs were only allowed ancestral figures in terra cotta and metalworkers were the servants of the ‘Oba’. Benin art was thus predominantly Royal and so closely tied to the rituals used in service of divine Kingship that it underwent few modifications over the generations. There can be little doubt that this West African art was an indigenous development fuelled by the need for lifelike images of Royalty for funerary rituals and the cult of ancestors from whom the Kings derived their significant power and authority. In the former Kingdom of Benin, Western Nigeria, great artists produced high quality hand made bronze sculptured figures and heads during the 1400′s and up to the early part of the 1700′s. The art of Benin is close in feeling to contemporary Buddhist art in India and South-east Asia. Few people outside Africa knew about African sculpture until the 1900′s when it became a major influence on western art.
