Environment and Society in Ethiopia
Ethiopia is facing environmental and poverty challenges, and urgently needs effective management of its environmental resources.

In this book, the first to study Beni-Amer practices, Zeremariam Fre argues for the importance of their knowledge, challenging the preconceptions that regard it as untrustworthy when compared to scientific knowledge fro...
Kenya six months on: A new beginning or business as usual?
At the start of 2008, Kenya was in the grip of its worst crisis since independence. The violence following the December 2007 election was unprecedented. It continued for weeks and posed a real threat to the unity of the nation. The initial spark was the contested presidential result, where the incumbent Mwai Kibaki – candidate of the Party of National Unity (PNU) – claimed victory, and was swiftly sworn in, amid claims of widespread poll-rigging. But the unrest quickly took on an ethnic dimension. The Kikuyus – the group which has dominated Kenya economically since independence in 1963 – bore the brunt of the violence. They were perceived to be the backers of Mwai Kibaki – a Kikuyu...
