Territorial Conquest, Central Power and Local Autonomy in Ethiopia, 1880s - 1941
TERRITORIAL CONQUEST, CENTRAL POWER AND LOCAL AUTONOMY IN ETHIOPIA, 1880s-1941 is purely academic work made up of two articles.
The first one, "Adwa Victory, Menilek's Power and Local Autonomy in Wallagga Territory of Ethiopia: The Case of Leeqaa-Naqamtee and Leeqaa-Qellem (1896-1941)," analyzes the aftermath of the Battle of Adwa (1 March 1896) in the Macca Oromo territory of Wallagga with emphasis on issues of local autonomy in Leeqaa-Naqamtee and Leeqaa-Qellem vis-a-vis central power. Before the 1880s Shawan conquest engineered by Emperor Menilek II (r.1889-1913), these monarchies were independent Oromo states in every sense of the word. This article, therefore, challenges the views in the mainstream Ethiopian historiography that magnifies only one side of Adwa Victory. The findings of this article beautifully balances national benefits and local socio-political damages with emphasis on the two Leeqaa states of Wallagga. The work heavily depends on fresh archival sources.
The second, "Integration and Resistance in the Ethiopian Empire State: The Case of Qellem (1886-1941)," attempts to analyze Addis Ababa-Qellem relations in the context of center-periphery theory. Qellem was conquered by Menilek II in ca.1886 and included in to the Ethiopian empire with promises of considerable autonomy. As a coffee producing province at the extreme western border of the country, Qellem experienced series of politico-military pressures from the central government in Addis Ababa. Studies conducted so far by some Ethiopian and expatriate scholars argue that Qellem was totally integrated into the empire through its peaceful submission. However, the events during the Italian Occupation of Ethiopia (1935-1941) proved quite to the contrary. This work presents a critical appraisal of the interplay with emphasis on issues of integration and resistance. Like the first, it draws much of its analysis from primary archival sources at home and overseas.
