		<description><![CDATA[I mentioned some terms like kebele and woreda in my latest posts, obviously neglecting the fact that most readers are not familiar with the administrative divisions of Ethiopia. In fact, in literature these words are used but in most cases left unexplained. So, let me introduce you to the concept of kilil, chartered city, zone, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The decentralized approach on land registration is regarded as the key to Ethiopia&#8217;s successful swift and cost-effective land registration. Ethiopia&#8217;s success seems to be a rare case though: &#8220;In fact, hardly any of the [sub-Saharan] countries that introduced legal reforms with much fanfare have succeeded in developing, let alone rolling out, a low-cost system for [...]]]></description>

However, the government announced the continuation of the land policy of the Derg regime. When Ethiopia in 1995 became the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia the new constitution approved and confirmed the state ownership of land. Even today, &#8220;[l]and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In my previous post I discussed Ethiopia&#8217;s land registration during the Solomonic Dynasty (until 1975). Emperor&#8217;s Selassie&#8217;s imperial rule was overthrown by the Derg regime in 1975. This socialist regime nationalized all rural land and redistributed the land to its farmers. In order to abolish the exploitative landlord-tenant relations, the farmers were organized in Peasant [...]]]></description>

The Ethiopian state has exerted considerable influence on local land tenure regimes throughout different political regimes.” But what does this long legacy look like?

The next day, I returned and saw a pile of broken chairs being loaded on a truck. &#8220;Good, now all that mess is gone and we can move around the office more efficiently from now on,&#8221; was my first thought.
