		The Afar people who were watering their animals at one of the hand-dug wells confirmed the seriousness of the situation in the arid lowlands of the north-western part of Afar Region (see picture in annexe 2).
		Afar pastoralists living in Zone 5 of Afar Region are used to settle in `Chefa' valley for part of the year.
		Core cause for migration of both Afars and Oromos is the absence of rains (belg for the highlands of Amhara and dadaa and sugum for the Afar lowlands) and hence the partial or total absence of pasture.

		Whether or not the Afar people seize this moment to define their future in terms of their own priorities, needs and aspirations, or shackle themselves instead to alien and outmoded concepts of "development" is a matter for Afars alone to choose.
		Afar traditional leadership has historically been located in eight sultanates, the three most significant being those of Tadjourah (the most senior), Rahayta, and Awssa (the fiefdom of Ethiopian Sultan Ali Mirrah, which includes the regional capital of 'Aysa'ita).
		Today, as Ethiopia's Afar population is consolidated for the first time within a single province with autonomous powers of self- government, change that benefits the majority of the Afars is far from assured.

	Cox & Forkum: Tal Afar
		Tal Afar is one of two major transit zones for foreign fighters coming into Iraq, Army Gen. George W. Casey Jr., commander of Multinational Force Iraq, said from Baghdad today.
		It is unclear as to whether the dispersal of terrorist forces, who seem mostly to be local Sunni Arab tribal fighters and al Qaeda "Foreigners", is a planned response in the event of defeat or a spontaneous development.
		The damage to al Qaeda was serious enough to elicit a public announcement from the terrorist organization, where it announced a new wave of suicide bombings, as revenge for the success of the Tal Afar, and related, operations.

		To the extent there are “foreign fighters” in Tal Afar, they are men from across the region, fighting in an Arab country against Washington’s attempt to place Iraq under long-term American domination.
		The assault on Tal Afar is part of a broader offensive by the US military and the Baghdad government to suppress the widespread opposition to both the presence of US troops in the country and the draft constitution that is to be voted on at a referendum on October 15.
		Tal Afar is an indication of the methods being unleashed to prevent such an outcome.

		In September 2004, the US military carried out a major operation to impose its authority over Tal Afar, but was forced to withdraw by November in order to redeploy troops to the heavy fighting in Fallujah and Mosul.
		The few available reports indicate, however, that at least 5,000 US and Iraqi government troops have sealed off the old centre of the city—an area known as Sarai—and are preparing for an assault against an estimated 400 to 500 resistance fighters who are said to be entrenched in the narrow streets of the district.
		Thousands more Tal Afar residents, however, are trapped inside Sarai by the cordon of tanks and barbed wire that has been flung up around the district to prevent resistance fighters escaping.
