Extractions: Ethiopia is a geographically varied African state with highly diverse and dramatic climate, flora and fauna. It has population of approximately 60,000,000, 80% of whom live in rural mountainous areas at an altitude of at least 1,500 above sea level. The Ethiopian Jews lived primarily in villages in the north and Northwest of the country, far from their Christian neighbors, with separate social and economic institutions and conditions. Their story is a fascinating example of Jewish perseverance and survival despite time, trial and tribulation. It is a story of people long isolated from the rest of the Jewish world. That separation was so complete, that at one point, the Ethiopian Jews thought themselves the only remaining Jewish community in the world - the last guardians of Jewish knowledge, tradition and the "Torah of Moses." The Ethiopian Jews struggled mightily to retain that tradition and guard it from outside forces that would see it assimilated, conquered and destroyed. As a result, throughout Ethiopian history, they often fell sacrifice to Christian kings, wars and oppression.

Search Ethiopia and Eritrea set for 'all-out war' By David Gough in Nairobi Guardian Monday February 8, 1999 A western diplomat in Addis Ababa described as 'total war' the intense fighting that broke out at the weekend between Eritrea and Ethiopia in the border area of Badme - a rocky triangle of land covering 250 square miles which both countries claim. The two sides accused each other of starting the weekend's battle, which was reported to have continued all day yesterday after erupting at dawn on Saturday. Asked if there remained any hope of a peaceful settlement, the diplomat said from the Ethiopian capital: 'It seems that both sides have given up on peace and whatever solution might come will now be a military one. In London, the Foreign Office yesterday issued a warning advising all British citizens to leave Eritrea.

Another 50 people were injured during the two days of clashes at a student demonstration in Addis Ababa over political rights and academic freedom. Security forces are reported to have opened fire when students began throwing stones are government buildings and setting cars of fire. The capital was reportedly calm on Friday but the government has warned opposition political parties to "refrain from trying to exploit the situation and promote anarchy in the city," and shut Addis Ababa University indefinitely. Hospital sources said most of the victims died of gunshot wounds. A doctor at Menelik Hospital said 22 bodies had been brought from the streets to the hospital, adding that 52 people were injured, and that two of those subsequently died.
Extractions: Web posted at: 10:31 a.m. EST (1531 GMT) ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (Reuters) Ethiopia army units backed by fighter planes attacked Eritrean troops on a second front on Monday in an escalation of the border conflict between the two Horn of Africa states. Each side accused the other of firing first near Tsorona, a small Eritrean town which lies on a heavily-militarised plain between two mountain ranges and controls access to the strategic Eritrean town of Dekamhare, close to the capital Asmara. Ethiopia said it had deployed fighter aircraft to attack Eritrean positions outside Tsorona and on the Badme front further west, the first time either side has admitted using air power in three days of fierce fighting between the former allies. Government spokeswoman Selome Taddesse said its offensive on both fronts was in response to Eritrean attacks.
