Tags: Africa, Ethiopia, Genzebe Dibaba, IAAF Intercontinental Cup, Isiah Kiplangat Koech, Kenya Genzebe Dibaba, winner of the 3000m at the IAAF Continental Cup, Marrakech 2014 (Getty Images) Genzebe Dibaba, winner of the 3000m at the IAAF Continental Cup, Marrakech 2014 (Getty Images) -Marrakesh, Morocco After setting a pair of scintillating world indoor records earlier in the year, much was expected of Genzebe Dibaba (Ethiopia) outdoors in 2014. With mixed results over the course of the summer, the 23-year-old didnt quite live up to those lofty expectations which will likely make her confident runaway victory in the 3000m here a personal highlight of her outdoor season.

Genzebe Dibaba, winner of the 3000m at the IAAF

Continental Cup, Marrakech 2014 (Getty Images) -

IAAF Continental Cup: Genzebe Dibaba wins 3,000m

By Rahel Samuel. Sitting back comfortably, if a bit impatiently, for the first five laps of a tactical race, Dibaba took the lead with exactly two laps to go and held it firmly en route to her 8:57.53 victory her first over the distance outdoors this year.

I expected to win and defend African colours, said Dibaba, the fourth consecutive African winner of this title, but the race was too slow for me. I dont feel comfortable using such tactics, so thats why I couldnt wait for the last lap to make my final kick, and instead started to push 800 metres before the finish.

When she upped the pace set off on her own, only European 5000m champion Meraf Bahta (Eritrea-born) decided to tag along in pursuit, but the Swede never really proved much of a threat to Dibaba who went on to become the first in her famed running family to win a world or continental cup title.

Bahta reached the line a second later in 8:58.48 ahead of Europe team-mate Susan Kuijken who held off Kenyan Janet Kisa to secure 13 points for Europe, equal to the African squads tally in the event.

In July 2012, Eskinder Nega was sentenced to 18 years in prison. In June 2011, Reeyot Alemu was arrested and convicted to 14 years of imprisonment, reduced to five on appeal.

Their crimes? Practicing journalism in Ethiopia.

Nega and Alemu are award-winning journalists who shared the prestigious Human Rights Watch Hellman-Hammett Award in 2012. For Nega, whose first child was born while he and his wife were in custody for treason , the arrest came days after publishing a column that criticized the Ethiopian governments detainment of journalists as suspected terrorists. For Alemu, a former high school English teacher, the arrest came days after she critiqued the ruling political party in an independent newspaper later shut down by the government.

Reeyot Alemu and Eskinder NegaFrom left Reeyot Alemu and Eskinder NegaThe basis for the charges against these journalists is Ethiopias 2009 Anti-Terrorism Proclamation, which contains overly vague provisions that have been used by the government to silence its critics. Since the Proclamation was adopted, more than 30 journalists have been convicted on terrorism-related charges.

Earlier this summer, I had the privilege of working on behalf of Nega and Alemu as a fellow with the Media Legal Defence Initiative (MLDI). The small London-based non-profit works directly with journalists and bloggers who have been prosecuted for exercising their protected

Armed Forces Have Numerous Career Opportunities.By William Doyle-Marshall I would encourage you when you

see someone in uniform, although you may not know their name, they are already committed to defending you with duty, with loyalty and with courage and if need be to sacrifice their life in defence of you in defence of Canada, defence of Canadian interest, as forefathers before them for many years. General Tom Lawson, Chief of Defence Staff gave this advice to members of the National Ethnic Press and Media Council Monday morning. Council members met with the top National Defence spokesman at a specially convened during which he briefed them about current developments related to national and international happenings. As Chief of Defence Staff General Lawson emphasize the greatest assets are our people, not the thousands of pieces of equipment in the Canadian Armed Forces custody. They (people) are the ones wearing the uniform, they are the one using the equipment. With people comes hope; they make the decisions on the ground the key decisions that make their actions effective, the general disclosed. The General stressed the importance of having the opportunity to speak to ethnic media representatives provided him an opportunity to make sure that those who come and make Canada and Toronto such a rich part

of this nation are well aware of what Defence means to them. We who are in uniform are defending those things you are interested in. The Canadian Armed Forces are very interested that the media takes the time to comment on its role in society. Lawson urged them to see themselves invested in defence. In addition, he hopes those who are influence by the media practitioners -- children, nieces and nephews

may consider a career in the Canadian military. More and more people are doing so, he counseled. The remarkable individuals serving in the Armed Forces, he noted, come from all backgrounds. Some came from rural communities; some like him are from right here in big cities like Toronto. The General

Ottawa, Ontario

Prime Minister Stephen Harper today issued the following statement to announce the discovery of one of the ships belonging to the ill-fated Franklin Expedition which was lost in 1846:

I am delighted to announce that this years Victoria Strait Expedition has solved one of Canadas greatest mysteries, with the discovery of one of the two ships belonging to the Franklin Expedition lost in 1846.

Although we do not know yet whether the discovery is Her Majestys Ship (HMS) Erebus or HMS Terror, we do have enough information to confirm its authenticity. This find was confirmed on Sunday, September 7, 2014, using a remotely operated underwater vehicle recently acquired by Parks Canada.

This is truly a historic moment for Canada. Franklins ships are an important part of Canadian history given that his expeditions, which took place nearly 200 years ago, laid the foundations of Canadas Arctic sovereignty.

I would like to congratulate and pay

Mayor Rob Ford diagnosed with rare cancer

TORONTO - Mayor Rob Ford has cancer.

Dr. Zane Cohen revealed the grim diagnosis on Wednesday at Mount Sinai hospital.

Ford has been in hospital for a week after doctors discovered a tumour in his abdomen.

Cohen said the tumour is a malignant liposarcoma and that Fords initial treatment will involve chemotherapy.

The sudden health scare led to Ford dropping out of the mayors race last Friday and instead signing up to run for city council in his old ward. Councillor Doug Ford, his brother and campaign manager, is now running for mayor in his place.

Its a tough day, Doug Ford said as he arrived at the hospital on Wednesday afternoon before the news was made public.

Fords wife Renata, his mother Diane and his other brother Randy Ford also were at the hospital on Wednesday.

We have a lot of faith in the doctors and

Mayor Rob Ford on Friday, Sept. 5, 2014. (Veronica Henri/Toronto Sun)

we have a lot of faith in God, Renata Ford told reporters on her way to see her husband.

The medical update on Rob Fords health led to the postponing of Wednesday nights mayoral candidates debate.

Out of respect for Mayor Ford and his family, REALpac and the NAIOP Greater Toronto Chapter, in consultation with the campaign offices of Olivia Chow and John Tory, jointly decided to postpone tonights debate, stated the Real Property Association of Canada.

Earlier in the day, mayoral candidate Olivia Chow hoped Ford didnt have cancer.

Mayoral candidate John Tory said a pause in the campaign was the appropriate thing to do.

I think it is a time to make sure that all of our thoughts and positive energy and sentiments are with the Ford family, Tory said.

For today our thoughts are with the mayor and with his family and we will resume the campaign at an appropriate time in full.

Statement by the Prime minister of Canada announcing the discovery of one of the ill-fated

Franklin Expedition Ships lost in 1846

Prime minister of Canada tribute to all partners involved in this years momentous Victoria Strait Expedition, including Parks Canada, the Royal Canadian Geographical Society (RCGS), the Arctic Research Foundation (ARF), the Canadian Coast Guard (CCG), the Royal Canadian Navy and the Government of Nunavut. This discovery would not have been possible without their tireless efforts over the years, as well as their commitment, dedication and the perseverance of the many partners and explorers involved.

Our Government has been deeply committed to finding HMS Erebus and HMS Terror, which were Canadas only undiscovered national historical site. Since 2008, there have been six major Parks Canada-led searches for the lost Franklin Expedition ships, pain-stakingly covering many hundreds of square kilometres of the Arctic seabed. It is gratifying that the ships remains were found during the Government-supported 2014 Victoria Strait Expedition.

Finding the first vessel will no doubt provide the momentum or wind in our sails necessary to locate its sister ship and find out even more about what happened to the Franklin Expeditions crew.

We Need to Make Better Use of Ex-Prime MinistersHard to believe Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is still Canada's Head of State. It's almost comical that we, as a Canadian society, allow ourselves to be represented by a governor general that is a representative of the Queen of England. It's tragic that we pay particular attention to these representatives once they leave office as if what they did was more significant than our prime ministers.

Canadian Prime Ministers deserve our respect and support at least as much as an overseas monarchy or their representatives.

Let us focus on former Governor General Michalle Jean, for instance. By the time she vacated the position she held, the Canadian

government had announced a foundation in her name with an allocated stable budget in the millions. The crown-in-council decision called for the organization to advocate for culture and education and "creativity among youth from rural, northern, and/or poor communities in Canada."

How about former Canadian prime ministers? How come there is no foundation named for Joe Clark, Brian Mulroney, John Turner, Kim Campbell, Jean Chretien or Paul Martin from the federal government? Are they less important than a symbolic former governor general?

I once had a private audience with Prime Minister Joe Clark as I was in the process of successfully nominating one of his old classmates from Dalhousie Law School, Bruce Alexander, for an honorary degree from Queen's University. I was an admirer of the former prime minister having grown up in a country (Ethiopia) that he was instrumental in helping during the infamous famine of 1984. Mr. Clark was foreign minister for the Mulroney government during this time. He was also the first foreign minister from the western world to visit Ethiopia. I can still picture him visibly upset when shown images of Ethiopia famine victims by CBC's Brian Stewart while he was at Bole International

Airport.

From advocating for the end of apartheid in South Africa to making Canada a welcoming nation for refugees from Guatemala, El Salvador, and many other nations around the world, Mr. Clark commands a great deal of respect around the globe. His voice is still needed and yet it's not being used enough -- either at home or abroad. Mr. Clark can speak with a rare authority when he speaks on international affairs.

I also once met Mr. Mulroney as he was being honoured by the Ukrainian government for

EPPF, Ginbot 7 and ADMF have signed memorandum to join their forces and fight against the dictatorial Ethiopian regime on 19,12,2006. The decision brought the desire of the Ethiopian people to see freedom and equality on Ethiopian soil to higher degree. The current dictatorial regime in Ethiopian finds itself trapped in a net as the three fronts came to unity and solidarity .the illegal extradition of Ato Andargachew Tsege by the Yemen government to the Ethiopian government made the freedom seekers Ethiopians to hold firm stand against the brutal, democracy allergy and cruel TPLF leaders. On June 23, 2014 the Yemeni intelligence officers arrested Ato Andargachew Tsege, an Ethiopian-born British national and secretary-general of Ginbot 7 movement, at Sanaas El Rahaba International Airport, while on a transit flight to Eritrea. The Yemeni government had him extradited to the Ethiopian government. The Ethiopian government never realized the fact that arresting a freedom advocate, does not stop the others to halt their struggle. Arresting

Every Ethiopia who is starved for change agrees up on one fact: Although the degree of causes and types of our problem are different, it still affects despite race, sex and age the vast majority of the nation. Especially in the Amhara region, the oppression has been discovered very lately. Due to sever condition of mistreatment and discrimination the Amhara youth alongside other Ethiopian youth crossed the border and migrate through the Sahara desert amid very critical life situation. Many did not reach their destination, lost their lives in the desert due to hunger or sunk in the Mediterranean Sea. They had no choice other than to gamble on their lives. Why do we suffer? And why do we migrate? Migration is the only way to escape from tribulation. The reason why I migrated is to get a safe heaven from suppression, discrimination, torture, mind control and in general from many non-democratic administration and ultimately from death. The non-democratic administration of Ethiopia is already busted and made known to the world. I am not given due concern as a youth full of productivity and readiness to change the

In The year 2006 E.C (2014/15) the ethnocentric dictatorial Ethiopian ruling party (TPLF) had crippled Ethiopia economically, socially and politically. The failures of TPLF leaders made the country the 2nd poorest in the world. Moreover the stone hearted Woyane killed and buried free media and press in Ethiopia. This cruel party has shamefully crippled any opposition parties who dared to criticize it.

The Ethiopians are deliberately made to live a life that they cannot afford by the current savage governing party. Only the corrupted TPLF officials continue to live abundantly by accumulating huge amount of in different banks in and offshores for their personal interest. On the other hand the citizens are immersing into deep poverty that they find it even very difficult to get daily bread. Thanks for these greedy TPLF officials and leaders, the people of Ethiopian is termed as the 2nd poorest nation in the whole while world. The hunting of the press by the TPLF butchers was another embarrassing actions in the year 2006 E.C (2014/15). The TPLF regime has this allergy towards free press and media. On April, 2014 in Addis Ababa, the capital city of Ethiopia, three freelance journalists and six website blogger had been thrown into jail by the current Ethiopian government. Several magazine and newspaper publishers, owners and journalists were falsely accused and faced trial by the TPLF officials who do not want to be criticized by any means. For example Addis Gudaye, Lomi and Fact, Afro times, Jano and Enku Magazine publishers and owners were the victims of the

As we know every country have its own constitution. Why constitution is made? That is easy from the beginning human being by the nature has endless filling so - To make balance environmental using - To make peace full atmosphere- To keep others right- To use individually the right of nature- To build strong environment so that for those things all of the world established its own constitution. Any county Government is organized for the people from the people to full fill the benefits of people and proper use of human right. But let us see Ethiopian unlimited Government the government disturbed the people in different ways. So many people from political party, Journalists and innocent peoples in the prisons by the name of terrorists. When the peoples ask there right and straggle for their rights at that time they are terrorist for Ethiopian government. But Ethiopian government forget something when Weyane before coming to be a leader he was straggle for 17 years with Drge Government so Weyane by itself still terrorist

LETTERS Standing united we shall win.

a leader does not mean bringing down the movement. The illegal extradition of the legend Ato Andargachew Tsege sadden all Ethiopians except the mafia TPLF members. This act filled the heart of Ethiopians who seek freedom, equality and justice with hatred and revenge on the dictatorial regime of EPDRF. It is the right time for all Ethiopians who are abroad and in the country to form unity and remove this corrupted leaders from power. The detention of Ato Andargachew Tsege fueled our resistance and opened a new stage for all concerned Ethiopians for unity. The announcement of EPPF, ADMF and Ginbot 7 to come to oneness and wholeness will undoubtedly scale up the struggle to remove TPLF once and for all. The time will not be far that we enjoy equality, freedom and justice in our beloved country Ethiopia. However our unity must prevail the evil action of the TPLF. Unity is power.

Why do we suffer? Why do we migrate? country. But instead through the overwhelming new law fabricated in the dictators EPDRFs parliament I am under house arrest and deprived of enjoying my freedom. The Dessalegn Hailemariam led regime is a photocopy of the Meles led regime where by lawlessness thrives and behind the stage groups manipulate him through each and every important national decision. The words freedom, lawfulness , rule of law , and equal treatment have only paper value, I wonder really how long we Ethiopian allow such kind of deprivation and lose of human dignity, is it until everyone migrates from the country or until the ruthless Woyane regime say it is enough for now? Which will not happen by any means. With a serious struggle and determination, I guess we are able to find an answer together. Currently for Ethiopians struggling is as important as breathing. We have to be determined to reach our goal in overthrowing this dictatorship which is the cause of our migration.Victory for Ethiopian and Ethiopians.

Year of Embarrassment.government allergy towards free press. All these press and media were termed terrorist by the government only because they brought in to light the horrible, corrupted, dictatorial and cruel ruling system of the TPLF regime.

The different opposition parties in Ethiopia were also the victims of Woyanes brutal hunt. Members, supporters and officials of two major opposition parties UDJ and Blue, were made to taste the smell of prison in the pretext of Terrorism. Since these parties are gaining a huge public support and can change the political horizon in the next year general election, the current dictatorial regime keeps harassing and arresting the members and supporters. The TPLF leaders expected that the extradition and arrest of the freedom fighter and equality advocate Ato Andargachew Tsege (chairperson of Ginbot 7 movement) would frustrate and divide the Ethiopians. On contrary it made the Ethiopians to join hands and form unity in order to remove TPLF from power once and for all.

In general the year 2006 could be termed easily a devastating period for TPLF. The party has humiliated itself in and outside the country. The incompetent Woyane leaders exposed their cruel, undemocratic and dictatorial rule to the world. They openly waged a war against free press, journalists and opposition leaders. They recklessly drove the people into poverty till the world ranks us the 2nd poorest nation. If there is any grade to be given for their performance, then it will be a big F.

Why Americans and Europeans keep silent about Ethiopian politics?

for the people 23 years ? Andargachew Tsege is a terrorist for Weyane but not for people. Andargachew Tsege is a patriotism for Ethiopian people because what he did he was straggle for his right, for human rights and for innocent people. But we can see how much Ethiopian government is dictatorship leader. Simply when Andargachew Tsege was cache by Weyane before 2 month at Yemeni airport and Weyane made him in the prison at that time no body break out in Ethiopia for demonstrations the people keep it up silent still why? Is that all Ethiopian people is understand just like Weyane Andargachew Tsege is a terrorist? Who can break out this silent Americans or Europeans no they did not make nothing but they know Andaregachew Tsege was not a terrorist, they know there is no human right in Ethiopia , they know innocent Ethiopians is living in the prisons and in the opposite side they are highly communicable with Ethiopian government that means there is a secret bridge between them to keep unlimited government life? So what?

The general theory of acupuncture is based on the premise that there are patterns of energy flow (Qi) through the body that are essential for health. Disruptions of this flow are believed to be responsible for disease. Acupuncture may, it has been theorized, correct imbalances of flow at identifiable points close to the skin.

The practice of acupuncture to treat identifiable pathophysiological (disease) conditions in American medicine was rare until the visit of President Richard M. Nixon to China in 1972. Since that time, there has been an explosion of interest in the United States and Europe in the application of the technique of acupuncture to Western medicine.

Acupuncture is a component of the health care system of China that can be traced back at least 2,500 years.

Acupuncture is a family of procedures involving stimulation of anatomical locations on or in the skin by a variety of techniques. There are a variety of approaches to diagnosis and treatment in American acupuncture that incorporate medical traditions from China, Japan, Korea, and other countries. The most thoroughly studied mechanism of stimulation of acupuncture points employs penetration of the skin by thin, solid, metallic needles, which are manipulated manually or by electrical stimulation.

his efforts in making Canada the first western country to recognize its independence. I was attending a Preston Manning Centre event and both of us were in the Chateau Laurier Hotel. Whether one supported the policies of the Mulroney years or not, he was seen as an honourable man in the world.

As an Ethiopian, I take to heart his action on Ethiopia's famine in 1984. Stephen Lewis, then Canada's UN ambassador, remembers when he received an early phone call from an emotional Mulroney asking how he, as prime minister, could help after watching a Brian Stewart report from Ethiopia. Like thousands of other Canadians, Mr. Mulroney had watched destitute people dying before his eyes on his television screen and he wanted to help.

He asked Lewis what the world was doing to help. When Lewis replied there was nothing yet planned, the prime minister sprang into action. Mr. Mulroney, with the help of his able UN representative, sparked a response that was "nothing less than a Herculean effort on the part of all member nations," Mr. Lewis is quoted as saying. Millions of lives were saved and for Stephen Lewis, "Mulroney knew more about and cared more for Africa than any Canadian leader before or since." What a missed opportunity it has been for Canada not to have used him in the renaissance of Africa (which China is taking advantage of) while Canada plays catch up.

Jean Chretien also made an impression to the world via The Mine Ban Treaty (1997). So did John Turner, Paul Martin, Kim Campbell and Stephen Harper.

American Presidents are afforded a private office and staff once they leave office, to help them advocate for a cause and launch a foundation of some sort. Given this, most presidents have become official ambassadors in the world while promoting American values. Bill Clinton has focused on women's health; George W. Bush has advocated for people living with HIV/AIDS in Africa; Jimmy Carter has focused on human rights and democracy.

Are we in Canada using our former prime ministers for good in the world? Are we using them to advocate for basic Canadian values here at home and abroad? No, we are not. Are we, as a nation, too poor to give them a foundation to help them launch a Canadian voice in the world? No, we are not. Why focus on the monarchy from abroad when we can be original with our own leaders and use them to make the world ideally be like Canada?

It's time for Canada to step up and recognize our own former Canadian leaders and use their expertise, both in Canada and around the world. It's the right thing to do for them - it's also the right thing to do for the world.

By MURPHY BROWNE (Abena Agbetu)On Thursday, September 11, Ethiopians and members of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahdo Church will celebrate Enkutatash (New Year). Ethiopians and members of the Church celebrated the new Millennium (2000) in 2007 so according to the Ethiopian calendar, this year (2014) is 2007. Ethiopians use the calendar of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria, which reportedly did not change when the rest of Christendom revised its estimate of the date of the birth of Christ in the 16th century. The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahdo Church was administratively part of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria until July 13, 1948. On that date, the Coptic Church of Alexandria and the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahdo Church reached an agreement. In 1950, the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahdo Church was granted autocephaly (self-government/independence) by Pope Joseph II of Alexandria, head of the Coptic Orthodox Church. Five bishops were consecrated by the Coptic Pope of Alexandria and Patriarch of All Africa, empowered to elect a new Patriarch for their church and the successor to the last Coptic Bishop/Abuna Qerellos IV, who would have the power to consecrate new bishops. This process was completed on January 14, 1951 when the Coptic Orthodox Pope, Joseph II, consecrated the first Ethiopian Archbishop, 60-year-old Abuna Basilios (born Gebre Giyorgis Wolde Tsadik on April 23, 189). Enkutatash is the Ethiopian New Year and means gift of jewels in the Amharic language, which is the main Ethiopian language. The celebration of Enkutatash is both religious and secular. The word comes from an event that happened approximately 3,000 years ago when the Queen of Sheba of ancient Ethiopia returned home after visiting King Solomon of Israel in Jerusalem. The visit is chronicled in the Bible in I Kings, Chapter 10 and II Chronicles, Chapter 9. There are several versions of the Bible, including the English Standard Version where the visit is described: She came to Jerusalem with a very great retinue, with camels bearing spices and very much gold and precious stones. Another version of the Bible, The New Living Translation, further describes the gifts: Then she gave the king a gift of 9,000 pounds of gold, great quantities of spices and precious jewels. Never again were so many spices brought in as those the Queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon. Whatever version of the Bible is read, the visit of the Queen of Sheba to Jerusalem describes that she gifted Solomon enormous amounts of gold, spices and precious stone; so much that it is noteworthy that such an amount had not been seen before or after her visit. When the Queen returned to Ethiopia, her chiefs welcomed her with enku, or jewels, to replenish her treasury. Ethiopia has captured the imagination of Africans in the Diaspora in various ways. The country is one of two African nations mentioned in the Bible. Since enslaved Africans were coerced into abandoning their indigenous beliefs and were Christianized by their enslavers, the Bible became an important part of their acculturation. The mention of an African nation in this very important book probably brought some sense of pride (definitely hidden) to a people who were brutalized daily by their enslavers. Ethiopia also captured the imagination of Africans worldwide when the Ethiopian army defeated the covetous Italians at the battle of Adwa in 1896. This historic battle raged at the height of the European Scramble for Africa when White men and women were stampeding through the African continent, greedily grabbing and exploiting the land and the Africans. From November 15, 1884 to February 26, 1885, a group of White men representing 14 nations made decisions that continue to affect the lives of Africans into the 21st century. These men sat around a table and carved up the African

proudly proclaimed young men serving in the Canadian Armed Forces are like the strength of our great nation. They represent the nations diversity, Lawson concluded. Our key factor is placing these recruits where they can best use their unique skills and preparing and supporting them properly so they can deploy as we look at whenever and wherever they are needed, General Lawson continued. The forces offer a huge variety of opportunities 100 different career paths to be exact; pilot, public affairs. We have everything from vehicle, aviation. Electronics, dentists, doctors, engineers, cooks. We even have musicians. You have to be a pretty good musician to be in one of our bands, he quipped. Getting everyone trained is a massive task. To accomplish it we have schools across Canada where our members receive their specialized training for these careers and that includes under graduate degrees a very small number even PhD studies, General Lawson explained. Continuing education is viewed as a responsibility to the people who are going to be making life and death decisions wherever they are in a complex operating environment, the Forces Chief of Defence Staff assured. It is also seen as an investment for all Canadians who will count on our people to act with integrity.Its not enough just to prepare your people for their mission. Its also our duty to care for them and for their families. These men and women have chosen to put country before self quite fundamentally and have accepted at the time very real risks on behalf of their fellow Canadians. Thats why we strive to provide them with really comprehensive services such as physical and mental health care, emergency child care and family programming and very special benefits for those who have become injured as a result of their duty in the service, the top military personnel said. National Defence is the largest federal department in Canada both in terms of budget and people. It includes 92,000 full time employees. 67,000 of those are in uniform every day. There are 24,000 public servants in Ottawa and spread out across the nation. Part-time reservists in the military number 28,000 and 5,000 rangers spread across dozens of communities. Our military in the north are quite woven into the fabric of this nation. Their involvement include being alert in the high arctic, Lawson said. While the Armed Forces help keep Canada safe for Canadians, the General stressed its number one priority will always be the defence of Canadians on home turf. But because Canada is an international player, it has rarely been an isolationist nation. Acknowledging that more and more many Canadians were not born in this nation Canada has family and friends abroad. We vacation, we do business in other countries as this is an inter-connected world, he observed. In view of the fact that events everywhere could very quickly impact our security here at home, General Lawson emphasized that the Canadian Armed Forces have a role to play in defending North America certainly but also in contributing to international peace and security. We do it in providing humanitarian assistance but we also help train and build the capacity of nations; help in operations against terrorists, countering narcotic organizations and ultimately and only where necessary combat operations, Lawson continued


Happy New Year to the Ethiopian community

continent on paper, parcelling off portions among themselves. There were no African voices or African presence at these meetings. Such was the arrogance of these White men whose ancestors had already caused untold damage to the African continent for more than 400 years through the slave trade. After carving up the continent on paper, these people set about colonizing the continent by force, murdering, torturing, imprisoning and/or exiling any African who resisted, including the royal family of the Ashanti of Ghana. Ethiopia was the beacon of hope that all was not lost since it remained the sole African nation to have escaped the ravening White men and women from Europe. In the 2005 book, The Battle of Adwa: Reflections on Ethiopias Historic Victory against European Colonialism, White American professor of political science and international studies, Theodore M. Vestal, writes: In 1896, Italy, a latecomer to the family of nations and a slow-footed scrambler for colonial spoils in Africa, made her move to conquer Ethiopia, the only remaining prize on the continent unclaimed by Europeans. Expansionist leaders of the recently unified Kingdom of Italy dreamed of a second Roman Empire, stretching from the Alps to the Equator, and it was assumed that a show of military would quickly bring barbarian lands and riches into an African Orientale Italiana. The Italian dream was turned into a nightmare, however, in the mountain passes and valleys near the northern Ethiopian city of Adwa by the knockout punch by the mailed fist by a unified Greater Ethiopia. The Italians retreated, humiliated. Writing about The Significance of Adwa, Ethiopian professor of International Studies at Morgan State University and co-editor of The Battle of Adwa, Dr. Getachew Metaferia, explains: The battle of Adwa sent two messages, one to the European colonialists and the second to Africans on the continent and in the diaspora. To the European colonialists, it signalled that Africans could effectively challenge their power. To Africans on the continent and in the diaspora, it conveyed a message of hope that subjugation, be it in the form of colonialism, slavery, or other forms of social, political and economic exploitation, can be overcome through effective organization, consensus-building leadership, and concerted effort. On the back cover of The Battle of Adwa, a description sums up the importance of this battle and helps to explain why my grandparents had large framed photographs of the Ethiopian royal family displayed in their living room 100 years after the battle of Adwa: In the 19th-century Scramble for Africa, when the Europeans carved up an entire continent for exploitation, Africans won a solitary, shocking, glorious victory at Adwa (Ethiopia). The most celebrated military operation involving the Africans and the Europeans since the time of Hannibal, this emblematic victory still resounds in the minds of Africans and the African diaspora as promise of potential and an illustration of the dictum, strength in unity. For the victors it was decisive; for the vanquished, catastrophic. The Italian colonialist soldiers were crushed. Their casualty figure was 70 per cent; all their artillery pieces were captured, one out of four of their generals was taken prisoner and two of the remaining as well as almost half of their staff officers were killed on the battlefield. The Ethiopian victory at the Battle of Adwa has remained a very important event in the shared recollection of the entire African people. It is the only secular episode in the whole history of Africa that has been celebrated for more than a century with unabated popular enthusiasm. Ethiopia, as the sole African country to defeat a European colonizing army, caused such shock and trauma to the European White supremacist psyche that some news reports tried to make the Ethiopians White. Writing of this about face, White American professor, Harold Golden Marcus, commented: Now, Europeans had to rationalize Meneliks victory, and they turned inevitably to the alternate discourse without

abandoning notions of racism, since such an admission would conflict with the teleology of modern European imperialism. Instead they characterized Ethiopians as White, and they found several convenient observations upon which to build a new Ethiopian typology. The history of Ethiopia as the proven cradle of the human race has also captured the imagination in more modern times. Although some of his writing about Ethiopia is not very flattering, in his 2002 book Ethiopia, the Unknown Land: A Cultural and Historical Guide, White British author, Stuart Christopher Munro-Hay, conceded that: Ethiopia can claim to be the cradle of the human race, after the discovery at several sites there of the earliest hominid remains yet to be revealed by archaeology. In 1974, the more than three-million-year-old skeleton of Dinqinesh (Lucy) was found at Hadar, nearly 200 miles northeast of Ethiopias capital, Addis Ababa. In 1996, about five miles from where the skeleton of Dinqinesh was found, the earliest known stone tools were found (approximately 2.5 million years old). The Honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey, considered the father of the modern Pan-African Movement and a prophet of Rastafari, is said to have prophesied the crowning of Emperor Haile Selassie I and given rise to Rastafari. In The Rastafarians, published in 1988, African Jamaican historian, Leonard E. Barrett Sr., wrote of the effect on Garveys followers in Jamaica when Ras Tafari Makonnen was crowned Emperor of Ethiopia with the titles King of King, Lord of Lords, Conquering Lion of the tribe of Judah and Elect of God on November 2, 1930: In Jamaica an almost forgotten statement of Garvey, who on the eve of his departure to the United States was supposed to have said Look to Africa for the crowning of a Black King; he shall be the redeemer, came echoing like the voice of God.

The general theory of acupuncture is based on the premise that there are patterns of energy flow (Qi) through the body that are essential for health. Disruptions of this flow are believed to be responsible for disease. Acupuncture may, it has been theorized, correct imbalances of flow at identifiable points close to the skin.

The practice of acupuncture to treat identifiable pathophysiological (disease) conditions in American medicine was rare until the visit of President Richard M. Nixon to China in 1972. Since that time, there has been an explosion of interest in the United States and Europe in the application of the technique of acupuncture to Western medicine.

Acupuncture is a family of procedures involving stimulation of anatomical locations on or in the skin by a variety of techniques. There are a variety of approaches to diagnosis and treatment in American acupuncture that incorporate medical traditions from China, Japan, Korea, and other countries. The most thoroughly studied mechanism of stimulation of acupuncture points employs penetration of the skin by thin, solid, metallic needles, which are manipulated manually or by electrical stimulation.

Forget about diamond heists, bank robberies, and drilling into the golden intestines of fort Knox. In this precarious world-historic moment, food has become the most valuable asset of them all and a billionaire from Ethiopia named Mohammed Hussein Al Amoudi is getting his hands on as much of it as possible, flying it over the heads of his starving countrymen, and selling the treasure to Saudi Arabia. Last year, Al Amoudi, whom most Ethiopians call the Sheikh, exported a million tons of rice, about seventy pounds for every Saudi citizen.The scene of the great grain robbery was Gambella, a bog the size of Belgium in Ethiopias southwest whose rivers feed the Nile.I wanted to get to Gambella to see the Sheikhs plan in action. A friend of mine at the State Department suggested I contact a fixer she knew once I got to Addis Ababa. When I met Aman on my second morning there, he looked the partblue jeans, black button-down, pin-striped jacket, dark glasses. (He asked that I not use his real name for fear of retaliation by Al Amoudi.)The backstory was good, too: Aman had been raised a devout Muslim but had grown out of religion. Now he was a writer, an editor, and an

entrepreneur; his rsum included a year at an English-language business weekly, where he had been schooled in the ways of Ethiopian banking, manufacturing, and real estate. Plus, he knew Fikru Desalegn.Fikru, explained Aman, ran the Sheikhs rice operation in Gambella, otherwise known as Saudi Star farm.Fikru could get us onto the farm. Where, I asked, could we find Fikru? Hes in town, said Aman. We were speeding past Meskel Square in his black subcompact, cutting between the mule carts, charcoal sellers, and groups of beggars. I figured we were heading straight to Fikrus office for an interview, but Aman pulled into the muddy parking lot of Ethiopias Ministry of Agriculture, a six-story concrete relic of the countrys sixteen years of communist rule, which ended in 1991. We walked up the ministrys marble stairs to the fourth floor, home of the Agricultural Investment Support Directorate. Aman had made an appointment to discuss Sheikh Al Amoudi with the bureaus director, Esayas Kebede, but after announcing our presence in Amharic he reported back in English that unfortunately Esayas Kebede was in a meeting somewhere else.As we waited, I read a pamphlet, Ethiopia:

The Gifted Land of Agricultural Investment. The government owns all the land in Ethiopia. They cannot sell it, but they can lease as much of it as they want. By leasing to the Sheikh, the directorate had given Al Amoudis food grab the federal stamp of approval. Though the terms of the deal have never been released, the annual price per hectare has been estimated at no more than seven dollars. In Zambia, by comparison, the average hectare leases for about $1,250 a year.The sun was low in the sky when Esayas arrived, and without looking up from his BlackBerry he led us into a small conference room. I wanted to ask him why the bureau had given the Sheikh preferential treatment, figuring he would reveal a few things I could use when I talked to Fikru. But before I could begin, Esayas launched into a speech. Agriculture accounted for 42 percent of Ethiopias GDP, he said. More than four out of five people work the land, and Ethiopias Growth and Transformation Plan, introduced in 2009, had laid out a five-year strategy for the countrys farmers.

I have been a resident of Toronto since 1978. In the 1970s, a Visible Minority group was in fact, "invisible." However, over the past thirty-six years, I have been witnessing an interesting socio-cultural change in Toronto. The arrival of many newcomers from Africa, Asia, Caribbean, and South America, made our City became home for more Visible ethno-cultural community members. By the early 1980s, traditionally non- European/non-white immigrants were becoming more "visible." Thus, concepts such as Multi-culturalism, "Visible Minorities, and recently, Diversity have been on the socio-political radar.

Many of my contemporaries were very instrumental in working with our diverse and different institutions and agencies to understand, accept, respect, and promote such "visibilities." The City of Toronto uniquely reflects the presence of different peoples from diverse and different backgrounds. Yet, its perception and practical presentation of itself as the city of diverse peoples has been continually challenged, to include the concept of Inclusivity/Inclusion in its policies and practices. It seems that, many of us define diversity differently. That includes new arrivals of political refugees from my country of origin, Ethiopia (Africa), since the late 1970s. Those days, there were very few of us residing in different corridors of the city. Now, we find that there are many workplaces whereby the majority of frontline employees or students are from non-European ancestry. Yet, many of them are unable to be supervised, taught, or managed by personnel who share similar ancestral, racial, gender, sexual, and cultural orientations that are reflective of their backgrounds.

I have a personal, professional, and even an emotional affiliation to this city. I believe in the progressive, activist, and welcoming mindset of our city. Most of us have been, and will continue to be, the causes and effects of promoting and pushing for equity issues such as: anti-racism, anti-sexism, anti-homophobia, religious freedoms, the rights of First Nations Peoples, addressing diverse forms of [dis]-abilities and accommodating persons with [dis]-abilities, employment equity, affirmative action, and Human Rights. We have to work together with different public and non-public institutions for an equitable approach to accommodate diverse/different peoples. It is about time to apply the testing mechanism, which I call Inclusivity. We

cannot leave the concept of diversity, without letting diverse socio-economic and political systems acknowledge the fact that we are also different, and not just diverse.

While diverse job applicants with Canadian work experience have become more "visible", the modus operandi of excluding diverse groups has become increasingly systemic. For example, the number of years of work experience, even when considering applicants with very high professional backgrounds, was assessed alongside language levels and other categories of qualification that seemed outside the regular scope of job suitability.In such a highly multi-cultural and multi-racial city as Toronto, we need to revisit what we mean by qualification. That is where the practical meaning of Affirmative Action and Employment Equity policies supposed to be practiced.

Our community members from the African, Asian, and the First Nations/Indigenous Peoples ancestral backgrounds, and particularly those from a working-class background, are still largely invisible in most of our citys public and non-public areas of decision-making. Through my exposures to different workplaces, as Social Worker and Advisor on issues related to Human Rights & Equity programs, I have been working very hard to help to decipher and demystify certain hidden messages about diversity.

I advocate for establishing creative forms of coalition-building. Such coalitions help positively challenge the institutional rules and regulations reflect the intended welcome to different peoples from diverse backgrounds. Our institutional messages, relative to diversity policies and practices, must be current and ongoing reflective of an equitable representation of just how diverse our population is. How can we make the environment more inclusive? Though I support concepts and phrases such as diversity and multiculturalism, we need to stop dancing around the words. It is about time that we start seeing each other eye-to-eye, with what I call an Inclusivity Lens.

We are living in a city called Toronto, a First Nations/Indigenous term for The Meeting Place. With its positive and progressive past, the City of Toronto can facilitate the practical meaning of The Meeting Place by practicing

what it has been preaching for a long time.What is Inclusivity, and How Do We Practice It?We need to believe that it is possible to meet eye-to-eye with different persons of diverse backgrounds in Toronto. There are communities with multi-linguistic, ethno-cultural, ethno-national, and multi-racial backgrounds, representing the over-190 United Nations member countries.

We need to work together. We need to look forward and expand on how we can continue to inclusively accommodate differences and diverse backgrounds.

As a well-informed resident, I would like to suggest and advise the mayoral candidates as well as members of the City Council to revisit their positions on current and past practices on important social issues. In such a global city, the local and global populations would like to hear their personal and political positions in addressing: Anti- Racism/ Race & Ethnic Relations Education; Affirmative Actions and Employment Equity Policies & Programs; Sexual Harassment & Gender Equity; Positive Space and welcoming programs for the LGBQT Community Members; Visible Programs for community members representing the First Nations and Indigenous Peoples of Canada; Visible Programs to welcome and accommodate Persons with [dis]-abilities; Challenging the practice of what is called Anti-Black Racism; Providing accountable and contemporary Social Service Programs; Providing a safe environment to file Human Rights complaints; and Promoting the practice of human rights and equity.

We know that it has been a long time since various decrees were made to end legal practices of discrimination and exclusion of different peoples. Yet, Inclusivity or Inclusion still remains liminal and/or invisible when we visit offices where decision-making and administrative practices take place. In the 21st century, diverse and different peoples truly want to be represented in ways beyond the tokenistic types of representation simply for the purpose of public relations. I hope and wish that the current Mayoral candidates and members of the City Council will be able to revisit the citys practices in the past, check out its current status, and create the environment of inclusivity our city has sought for so long.
