	Amhara
		Amhara is a name with an awesome history in Ethiopia, and a political party that bears this name is unavoidably burdened with a heavy legacy from the past.
		Amhara society was rigidly stratified, with a vast peasant base supporting a narrow ruling hierarchy of aristocrats and clerics, a social structure often described as feudal.
		Amhara were heavily involved in the ranks and leadership of the student movement and the several political organizations that emerged from it to struggle against the imperial regime and its military successor.

	Abyssinia (Ethiopia)
		The three principal provinces of Abyssinia are Tigre in the north, Amhara (in which Gondar the capital is situated) in the centre, and Shoa in the south.
		The province of Shoa is almost separated from that of Amhara by the Wolla Gallas, a Mohammedan tribe, and for a long time the former had been virtually independent, and governed by a hereditary line of princes, to one of whom the Indian government sent a special embassy under Major Harris in 1841.
		The Amharic, the language of Amhara, is that of the court, the array, and the merchants, and is that too which travelers who penetrate beyond Tigre have ordinarily occasion to use.

	Expansion of the Ethiopian Wolf Conservation Programme to Northern Ethiopia
		Persecution of wolves in the region, due to the concern over predation of livestock, also has the potential to be a significant threat to some of the remaining populations, and has likely been the cause of decline in those two areas where wolves have recently disappeared (Marino, 1999; Ash, 2000).
		Wolf populations in the Amhara Region survive in such fragmented and small areas of habitat that short-term as well as long-term conservation strategies are needed for their safeguard.
		Of the areas in Amhara Region where wolves are currently found, one is partially and nominally protected within the Simien Mountains NP and two further ranges are partially managed as community natural resource areas.

		In Ethiopia, the survey’s efforts are mainly focused on the five regions of the country’s 11 that are regarded as being the most highly suspect for landmine/UXO contamination: Tigray, Amhara, Afar, Oromiya and the Ethiopian Somali National Regional State.
		Each of Ethiopia’s regions is divided into zones; the zones, in turn, are divided into districts (woredas); the districts are divided into sub-districts (kebeles); and the sub-districts are divided into sub-kebeles (tabia, but baito in Tigray region), which are in turn made up of “communities” (sing.
		The results of this mission strongly suggest that the landmine/UXO problem in the Amhara region is not nearly as pronounced as the original worst-case estimates had suggested.
