Annual ReportDate: 2009Climate Change awareness raising workshops were conducted in two branches (Wolaita and Harar) for school teachers. The workshops conducted in the last quarter of 2008, gave them a basic understanding of climate change, its causes and effects, and appropriate ways to reduce the impact of disasters resulting from climate change. In total, 200 teachers took part in the awareness raising workshops, most of who were already involved in the Red Cross movement through running HIV and AIDS or environmental protection clubs in their schools. • In order to enhance the ERCS’s ability to respond to emergencies, contingency stocks were built up in several locations across the country. Three branches were selected for prepositioning of non-food relief items – Harar for Eastern Ethiopia, Addis Zemen for Northern Ethiopia and Wolaita branch for the south. It was not possible to conduct a warehouse survey before selecting these locations, but in the west a warehouse survey was carried out in several branches at the end of December 2008.

World War, SOUTHERN THEATRE: Key TownsDate: Monday, Mar. 31, 1941Wherever three or four women squat beside piles of grain and peppers, there is Harar's market place. Before the town's Law Courts there is a constant babel of dissatisfied litigants. In five minutes on any street one may see an Armenian fighting with a Hindu; an Abyssinian woman with her simian face smeared with rancid butter to keep vermin away; an old bishop who knew the strange, sad, lame poet-adventurer Rimbaud, France's Byron, when he lived in Harar; a beautiful, brown-skinned, high-breasted Harari woman carrying a load of wood on her head as if it were a tiara ; a big black with a lion cub on a leash; an Abyssinian policeman who looks ferocious with leaves stuffed in his nostrils (he just has a cold) ; a leper from the Capuchin colony outside the walls; a crisp Italian officer in a fever of hurry and worry. In a special fever last week were the Italian soldiers stationed in Harar. For the city had become the next British objective. Early last week the South African and British column pushing up from Italian Somaliland approached Giggiga, 50 miles east of Harar. Its supply lines were then about 600 miles long, and were potentially threatened from the east by Italians garrisoning British Somaliland, which the Italians occupied last summer. The threat was removed at the strategic moment by a British naval force which appeared off Berbera, British Somaliland's capital and main port, one midnight, and landed men and machines in two places near the town. By 9:30 a.m. they had taken it. They pushed inland at once, and by week's end had very nearly made contact with the inland column.

World War, SOUTHERN THEATRE: Last Act in East AfricaDate: Monday, Apr. 07, 1941Harar fell the same day as Cheren to a British column advancing from Somaliland in the south. Italian resistance in Marda Pass before Harar was surprisingly light, and the British met almost no resistance at Harar itself. This column's mission—breaking the Addis Ababa-Djibouti railroad—was accomplished at week's end when the British announced they had occupied Dire Dawa, the nearest station to Harar on the railway, and that the Italians had withdrawn westward toward the capital. Main reason given by the Italians for this withdrawal was again British air activity. All week long and all along the railroad, the British bombed trains, supply depots, bridges, tracks. With their communications cut behind them, the Italians at Harar were forced to retire
