Eritrea and Ethiopia
The Ethiopian-Eritrean federation, a product of a United Nations resolution, came into existence in 1952 and was abolished ten years later. The primary objective of this book is to examine the rise and the fall of the federation in the nght of present-day realities. This central theme is placed in context by a reconstruction of Eritrean political organizations during the crucial postwar years. The work includes a short account of the war between Eritrean nationalist forces and the Ethiopian government, which led up to the emergence of Eritrea as a sovereign state. Based primarily on archival sources at the Public Record Office in London, "Eritrea and Ethiopia "argues that no other group in t...

The Saho of Eritrea
This book presents an analysis of the identity of the agro-pastoral Saho community in Eritrea, which was cemented during centuries of confrontation with Abyssinian rulers and by their rebellion against external domination. It examines the emergence of the Saho's national consciousness and the process of political identity formation during the British Military Administration in competition with the pro-Ethiopian Unionist Party. The book describes the active participation of the Saho in the national liberation struggle of Eritrea, and it evaluates the impact of post-independence policies of the Eritrean People's Liberation Front/People's Front for Democracy and Justice on the Saho community.

Eritrea
Emerging from a devastating 30-year war, the new Eritrean government's efforts to reconstruct its multi-ethnic society and transform its economy have been hailed as a model of nation-building. MRG's Report discusses the drawing up of a constitution which will aim to ensure a variety of rights. However, the question remains, how far will these rights be guaranteed in practice? For example, how far can Eritrea protect the rights of minorities and. At the same tine, promote the unity of the state? In seeking to answer these issues, the Report's author also examines how far the new government - whose members are overwhelmingly former freedom-fighters - can be said to be governing for all Eritrea's people? The Report pinpoints a series of important questions facing the government, from the environment and land rights, with the potential problems of scare land being given to returning refugees; on the extent to which women's liberation, a battle largely won by female freedom-fighters, will be upheld in peacetime; to the challenge of seeking to ensure that the parity of minority languages is recognized in education.
