Second departs
- ETHIOPIA -
- We have seen Ethiopia under a point of view of the religion and the Coptic cult, but it is not mentioned each other leastly to the existing relationship with Italy. -
- The news that we draw from our daily paper, practically they adjourn there only if there is a state of belligerency or if it verifies some sequestration of our fellow citizens from nomadic or for reasons of misunderstood that they come each other to determine because many of us ignores that after reaches it independence from the regency " Manghistu " and we say regency because the general had assumed power with the support of the Soviet union and it had made Ethiopia a colony where the wish of USSR was sovereign in narrow connection with Cuba of Fidel Castro, the Eritrea had assumed a dress proper of independent state. -
- During this period Italy dressed again a double role. - On one side, following the suggestions of the United States, supported apparently the movement anti Manghistu while the communist Italian tide that turned between the Emilia and the Lombardy was seeing of good eye Soviet influence in that zone of Africa. - Of that period they are to testimony the presence of the Italian aerial lines (Alitalia) with ports to Addis Abeba and the Asmara, the concession of contracts for the manufacture of exchanges of parts of airplanes and other types of mechanical workmanships receiving in change, with the financings of the World Bank, orders for the construction of elettrodotti, of electric substations, of water plants, etc., etc. -
- With the advent to the power in Italy of the Socialist Party, the relationships Italo Etiopici they seemed to squeeze together so much mostly from to see exponents of our Corporate body ENEL to collaborate as supervisors to the project of electrification of whole Ethiopia whose you work for the construction of the whole energetic structure had been conferred to society as the Ansaldo, the CEI, the ABB and other industries of small entity with the aid of the local personnel of the National corporate body for the electric energy - EELPA. - Of the technicians of this Corporate body it cannot be spoken that well in how much complete of a technical culture that does envy to our good engineers of the field; the ability realizzativa of the different staffs (electric maintenance, assemblages and exercise as well as offices you study) they are very efficient and only a lack of financings doesn't make them completely autonomous. - In practice, Italians had supplanted the collaborations of the firms government Yugoslaves that, thin to then, with the support of the Soviet union, they had boss around installing material improper and obsolete. - The Ethiopians had assimilated every teaching and with the constant presence to the studies of planning, to the assemblages and the startings of the different unities, they can now be considered able autonomous realizations in this sector. - For how much it pertains to Italians, in the Socialist period, there was a change of characters that they were and perhaps they are anchor, badly you accept from our community of resident with inevitable repercussions toward the Ethiopians. -
- The change of the type of power happened with the expulsion of the dictator Manghistu, in direct connection conseguenziales with the Wall in Berlin and the collapse of USSR, brought to a first stiffening of the local relationships in how much the Ethiopians saw in Italy a double political figure that didn't give exhaustive guarantees. - And ' from present tener that, for wish of the United States, it was found and perhaps anchor is him/it, in a state of imprisonment, but entertained near " Villa " " Italy ", residence of our Embassy to Addis Abeba, the general of the Ethiopian Armed Strengths of the period Manghistu, but that he facilitated the hit of state with the patronage of the United States of America and associates, that Ethiopia brought in a condition of Republic with a President and a constitutional Parliament. – It is natural that the Ethiopians desire to try this soldier our desired not guest, but that it is not possible to deliver and for this reason, it is asked there the restitution of the obelisk that Italians, during the colonial period, they withdrew from Axum and they transported it to Rome. - Italians in the period 1936 - 1941 were appropriated and they transported the obelisk for thousand of kilometers for sea and for earth without sectioning it, but now, to distance of over fifty years, the restitution would have to happen to blocks defacing that monolith. - It would be better that the financing to the Ethiopians was proposed for the lifting of that monoliths that they still lie to the ground and that they attend work of restauration and finish to confer and to add to Axum that millennial greatness that is up to her. -
- For all us it is to know well that when the Italian military strengths in 1941 were overpowered by the Ethiopians with the support of English, the Negus Hailè Selassiè returned in country, it proposed to Italians that desired him, to be entertained in Ethiopia as free city and not as prisoners. - This gesture was very appreciated by our soldiers and many they were stopped forming mixed families working and contributing to the growth of that earth. -
- Returning to the period Manghistu, under the name of Ethiopia was also included the Eritrea but it been separated to the fall of the Dictator constituting an own territorial entity and politics with the capital city of ancient memory, the Asmara. - The tension between the two Nations has always been long live and turned on for the confrontation on some territories of frontier that, in effects they interest the zone of the Tigray. -
- A second element of attrition is that religious in how much the Eritrea has a strong Moslem tide with which the Ethiopians don't appreciate relationships that can create an increase of the actual state of religious fact in breast to the orthodox Christian majority. - Really, Ethiopia constitutes the last valid rampart that is opposed to spread some Moslems in earth of Africa to the. -
- Returning to the Italian resident ivis, not considering what they live in temporary way for reasons for job there is of the characters that have received affronts and ghettizzazioni only during the first years of the first Republic in country. - In breast to the community of our fellow countrymen has come to create a deep fracture economic partner originated from the salaries that they receive him entrusted of our State Department in that zone. - This nucleus includes the dependent of the embassy, those of the Cooperation, the body teacher and aggregate of the Italian school of Addis Abeba that they perceive a least monthly salary of well 8.000 dollari(annos of riferimento;1994 - 95) more varied emoluments against an average of 3.000 Birrs (a Birr equivale to around 250 Italian liras) that a Ethiopian perceives inserted in a local government complex. - There is no need to discover warm water to understand what possibility of abuses can complete those people which wallow in the comfort they can afford of to spend, also in foolish way, the resources in them possession. - To create great disproportion in breast to the Italian community, not to speak of what happens with the local social realities, there is also the fact what old Italian laws or sectorial rules, risalentis to the time of the Colonial empire, allow our government dependent detached of usufruire of the foreseen not advantages and perhaps ignored by the same our State Department. - An example: If a dependent of the embassy asks of usufruire of one day of vacations, in practice he prepares of around 60 days because in our rules the aerial moves are ignored and the circumnavigazione of the African Continent or the passage is still considered for the Channel of Suez, but this last comes practically unknown in how much, to the time of the last war, the channel was interdicted to the Italian convoy because garrisoned by English with which we were in war. - Of it, that the rules don't foresee it achieves and, therefore the available period to spend one day of vacations in Italy corresponds to two months of absence from the job without this is an abuse but the everything it reenters in a law in the full respect of the laws. -
- Many is Italians that have distinguished in this earth of Africa. - The list of Italians and the finished work are innumerable. - An example of talent and wish lavished by our fellow countrymen and of which is ignored in Italy theirs finished action, it is that to have transported by earth, between valleys and highlands to inclusive heights between two thousand and the 3000 meters, a craft to motor of the dimensions of a tow and to have launched it to the Lake Den and that, today it constitutes the only mean to disposition for the move of the places between the city of Cafe to Give, and the islands of the lake as well as the only mean, excluding the boats of papyrus it moved from rowers, to allow the tourists to visit those islands where has allowed the access of it. -
- Between the Italian resident ivis I have had the occasion to know a person that, in Italy it developed the activity of sketcher and, to feel he, had been the one which he would have realized the sketch of the well known " Galimero " then sottrattogli during his useless to wander between the different studies of planning Mark of Factory. - This character of which we wantedly keep silent the name of it, following a project of a system eolico joined to submerged hydraulic pomps introduced to the UNICEF, was assumed by this international Corporate body that financed idea making her working in the different African zones making possible the subsoil water's extraction. - During the period in which the Negus Hailè Selassiè remained as Emperor, this person had different charges between which the principal one was the realization of the sculpture in bronze raffigurante the Leo Giudaico, symbol of the Ethiopian dynasties. - One work of his of which has been been witness is that regarding a solar kitchen (ved. Photo) that exploiting the solar rays assembled through an automatized parable, that following the solar run, was able indeed to bring to ebullition water and to cook any type of food comprendente also feeds fried. - This project was thought about extending him/it to the purification and potabilizzazione of the water withdrawn by the Lake Den or other water basin in how much the alimentary water resources didn't have that requisite of least fitness not to incur in dangerous intestinal infections. - The application of the project didn't happen for lack of time and for the presence of impiantistica financed from the World Bank that won't arrive never surely to conclusion for the usual reasons for speculative affairs. - The problem of the potabilizzazione of the water is really to level of calamity and constitutes a true danger for the populations that are subject to infections what the Lebola and similar without ignoring the Scabies, the fever yellow and other pathologies of the skin. - Our " Cooperation " makes the possible one complete some work as the realization of roads and correlated infrastructures, but a lot of times it is not kept track of the habits and climatic duties of the places in which these work are realized. - It is not from to ignore that during the period Craxi, for account of our foreign corporate body, they had moved well 50.000 families to have employed in agriculture. - This project was not shown proper why the select zones for the culture of the wheat and maize were in the lowland where the temperatures are also raised in the period of the rains. - It created alone disaggi and false hopes in those people whom ivis worked and, today they reside perhaps still. -
