About two weeks ago, I was traveling to Debre Zeit on a work related trip and I happened to sit next to an older gentleman who is teaching at a college in Debre Zeit.
The gentleman who introduced himself was actually from abroad on a contract and told me that he teaches at a college called "Defense University" in Debre Zeit.
Even though I hadn't heard about the college before, it was very fascinating to hear from the gentleman that the country had such an institution that seemed to have all the equipment and instructors needed to train people in modern military and civilian technology.

The principal objective of the current study, therefore, was to determine the residual effects of fertiliser N applied to tef on the yield and N response of succeeding durum wheat and tef crops.
Climatic conditions during the 1991-95 growing seasons (i.e., June to Sept.) at Debre Zeit were relatively uniform across years (Table 1): rainfall peaked during July and August each season and tapered off during September.
The initial total N level in the soil (0.09%) was low, reflecting the depleted N status of soils in the Debre Zeit area due to a long history of crop cultivation with minimal fertiliser input (Tekalign et al., 1996).

It was a highly emotional trip for me, varying from exuberance and delight to near despair over the poverty of the country and the deterioration over the last 40 years.
When the occasion arose, we told people (in Amharic) that we were teachers in Debre Zeit 40 years ago, and this always elicited a warm response of amazement.
