Monitoring Conflicts in the Horn of Africa
Description

The project provides a critical analysis of contemporary conflicts in the Horn of Africa. The project comprises original research on the causes and outcomes of both inter and intra-state conflicts with regard to the analysis of the dynamics leading to state reconfiguration or disintegration of the region’s states.

The original contributions of the project are: 1) the fieldwork in Ethiopia, Somalia, Sudan and Kenya and 2) the final comparative perspective with regard to continuities, changes, similarities and disparities in political violence and conflict dynamics in its relationship with the state’s particular trajectories; the project will focus on the state’s trajectories bearing in mind the domestic, regional and global political arenas.

2018 Other Event Gondari voices: legends from Nothern Ethiopia Gondari Voices – Legends from Northern Ethiopia is a short film shot and edited by Manuel João Ramos (researcher at CEI-IUL), based on popular oral stories about a turbulent period in Ethiopian political and religious history. The narrators, local elders who perpetuate ancient Amhara oral traditions, weave a series of interconnected tales about a sacred quest of the Ethiopian kings for a site to found the kingdom’s capital, and their fantastical interactions with angels, foreigners, prophets and holy slaves. The film is a complement to the book by the same author: Of Hairy Kings and Saintly Slaves – An Ethiopian Travelogue (Oxford, Kingston Publishing, Aug. 2018). Manuel João Ramos
