- Egyptian Rule over Kush-Ethiopia, and Ahmose Nefertari, Foremother of Oromos and Sudanese. Part III By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
The holy mountain of Amun of Napata (later capital of Kush in the area of Karima, 750 km south of Wadi Halfa, in North Sudan) was viewed by the enthralled Egyptian soldiers as a holy place, and identified as the ancestral center of Pre-dynastic Egypt (once forever encapsulated in the white crown of Upper Egypt), and as the eternal abode of Amun. - The Common Origins of Egypt, and Ethiopia – Sudan. Oromos, Arabic Speaking Sudanese, Nubians. I By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
There is absolutely no proof that the so-called A-Group civilization in Egypt’s southernmost confines (between the 1st and the 2nd cataracts of the Nile or between Aswan and Wadi Halfa, to refer to cities) emerged due to “Nubians”. A-Group covers the period 3500 to 2500 BCE. The artifacts excavated and categorized as A-Group by George A. Reisner (1907) cannot be identified as possibly related to Nubians because they reflect a sheer contrast with contemporaneous findings from Egypt. - The Sidama people of Africa: The Institution of Cimeessa - The Respected Elder By : Wolassa L. Kumo
The power of elders in the Sidama society was not based on a simple age count as is the case in most modern societies. The Sidama elder is more the product of various social processes through which a person (usually a man) passes than the product of a simple aging. - The Sidama People of Africa: An Overview of History, Culture and Economy: Part II By : Wolassa L. Kumo
The Sidama region is highly overpopulated. Land holdings have dwindled to less than 0.3 hectares per household due to population explosion. As a result extensive farming is not a viable option. To reduce the current massive rural underemployment,urban unemployment, and excruciating poverty, the region must implement a rapid and massive alternative income and employment generation schemes - The Sidama People of Africa: An Overview of History, Culture and Economy: Part I By : Wolassa L. Kumo
One of the ancient Kushites, the Sidama people live in the southern part of the present day Ethiopia,with notable geographical features such as lake Awassa in the North and lake Abaya in the South. Before the 1891 annexion into the bigger Ethiopia, these people lived more egalitarian way of life and excercised the most democratic system of political adminisration. - Kush, Nubia, Ethiopia and Sudan: Ancient Civilisations and Modern Nomenclature: Part II By : Wolassa L. Kumo
The Nubians and Kushites are two distinct ancient peoples that lived in North East Africa. The Kushites ruled parts of Egypt and northern Sudan since 2600 BC but their prominence rose when they formed the 25th Egyptian dyansty in the 8th century BC and ruled Egypt for about a century. It was this great Kushitic people that lived primarily in the northern part of the present day Sudan, that the ancient Greeks and Romans called the "Aithiopians" or ‘Ethiopians’. - Kush, Nubia, Ethiopia and Sudan: Ancient Civilisations and Modern Nomenclature: Part I By : Wolassa L.

Kumo
The Pharaohs of Egypt's 25th Dynasty, the Kushitic People of North East Africa, need recognition to their contributions to the global civilization - Shekacho History: from Independence to Slavery in the Abyssinian Hell (Fake 'Ethiopia') By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
The fallacy 'Ethiopia' has not a chance in the septillion to survive. Justice will be made at last, and the criminals will dearly pay for their deeds. - Revealing the Uninterrupted Kushitic Oromo Continuity: the Oromo Marriage By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Religious affinity, ethnic survivability, and social – behavioural continuity can be proved by similarity of practice, similitude of concept, and resemblance of expression. Marriage is a very particular circumstance in the lives of the humans; for various nations allover the world it consists in an array of socio-religious expressions of sacrosanct tradition that has to be repeated from generation to generation. - Asafa Dibaba and the Prevalence of the Oromo Moral Order By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
The Kushitic ‘cousins’ of the Somalis, the Oromos, rightful heirs of the Ancient Kushitic Noblesse, are renowned for their splendid and lofty traditions. The Great Oromo Intellectual Asafa Dibaba makes a point in that the Oromo oral tradition has to become integral system of the Oromo educational system in order to help preserve and perpetuate the Oromo Moral Order among younger generations. - Fichchee: the Original Ethiopian New Year begins! By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
The Sidamas have their own Calendar, a historical African system, composed and observed by the diachronic intellectual elite of the Sidama Elderly; just two days ago, on October 8, the Sidamas – frozenly indifferent to the alien pseudo-‘Ethiopian’ millennium of ignorance – started celebrating their New Year Day. This is called Fichchee in Sidamuaffo, their Kushitic language. - Gueze – 'Ethiopian': the Counterfeit Millennium By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Only the Coptic Church of Egypt continued using the Era of Martyrs, and the Coptic Church of Abyssinia never modified its Incarnation Era system that, due to Annianus miscalculations, left the Abyssinians 8 years behind. Dionysius Exiguus never became known in Caleb's Axum – to the detriment of the Abyssinians alone. - The Barbarizing Mission of France made Muslims' Integration Impossible By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
It is therefore impossible for the French and the Europeans, who do not denounce this colonial game, to possibly integrate those, who they first alienated – in so indescribably immoral way. - Asafa Dibaba's Conclusions on Jaarsoo Waaqoo, and National Oromo Poetry By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
At the same time, we want to advocate for the Noble Cause of a publication (in both hard copy and online) of Jaarsoo Waaqoo's Complete Works. Oromos from both the Diaspora and Oromia should raise a fund, and establish a Jaarsoo Waaqoo Association, geared for the publication (in Afaan Oromo and English) of the Great Oromo National Poet's Complete Works. It will be a great honour for the entire Oromo Nation and the African continent to appoint Mr. Asafa Dibaba at the head of the Association. - Colonial Crimes in Africa: Sidama Democratic Society under Threat of Extinction By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
One of the most abominable crimes perpetrated by the colonial powers France and England in Africa sounds unbelievable to Western ears; in the name of Democracy, the Colonial Powers did their ingenious best to exterminate local democratic societies and social systems that matched democratic principles and biblical respect to the Elder far better than the Colonial European powers were able to imagine – let alone implement. - Post – Colonial African Historiography: from Royal Meroe to 'Gada' Oromo Republic By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
The fascinating post-colonial reassessment of African History leads us to delineating Meroitic continuity down to present day Oromos. Beyond eventual linguistic, religious and ideological affinities, Social Anthropology sheds light on the most dramatic institutional change in Africa: emigrating from their destroyed capital, the Meroites developed the most venerated form of traditional African Republic: the Gada system.. - Burials of the weird kind By : Isaiah Lucheli
The Iteso of western Kenya have a way of handling their dead that would horrify many other people in the world. About five years after burial, they exhume the skulls and skeletons and leave them exposed to the elements. The result is that if you travel through Teso country, you will get the impression that a major archeological undertaking is underway. - Luanda Magere: A legend whose spirit lives on By : Dan Okoth
Of all the famous Luo legends, that of Luanda Magere stands out as the most recent and, perhaps, most tangible. He is reputed to have been an invincible warrior who turned into a rock after his younger wife betrayed him and enemies killed him. - Yes, belief in witchcraft widespread in Africa By : Ngovi Kitau
