The Sacred Art of Ethiopia * Journal article by Marilyn E. Heldman; The Historian, Vol. 57, 1994 http://www.questia.com/PM.qst?a=o&d=5000253582 :
One of the most important events in Ethiopian art history occurred around 330 A.D., when Ezana, the Askumite ruler of the highlands of northeastern Africa, accepted Christianity. This occurred not long after the emperor Constantine declared Christianity a legal religion of the Roman Empire. Ezana's acceptance of Christianity is not surprising in light of the commercial ties between Rome and Askum. By round 500, the most sacred of Christian texts - the Gospels - had been translated into Ethiopia, and the foundations of a Christian artistic tradition, setting the course of artistic development in the region, had been firmly established. Pre-Christian Askumite rulers celebrated their victories by setting up monumental statues to the gods of heaven and earth, but because the East Christian Orthodox Churches eschewed the making of "graven images," the Christian art of Ethiopia includes no sculpture. Therefore, Ethiopia's Christian rulers celebrated their majesty by building churches and endowing monasteries. The city of Askum became symbolically the New Jerusalem, and the cathedral there was dedicated to St. Mary of Zion, after the church of the Apostles on Mount Zion in Jerusalem. Until the twentieth century, Ethiopia's rulers considered themselves latter-day Israelites who, like King David and King Solomon, ruled by the grace of God.
The exhibition African Zion: The Sacred Art of Ethiopia, currently traveling to venues in the United States, features the little-known as Abyssinia, from which the modern state of Ethiopia developed in the late nineteenth century. African Zion consists of a rich stylistic variety of devotional images, most of which are painted on wooden panels or on the parchment pages of hand-copied books. Many come from the collection of the Museum of the Institute of Ethiopian Studies at Addis Ababa University.(1)

Rivers of Blood: A Comparative Study of Government Massacres by Brenda K. Uekert; Praeger Publishers, 1995 - 5: Ethiopia: She'Eb Massacre
Ethiopia was an authoritarian regime dominated by the leadership of Mengistu Haile Mariam. The Communist government was challenged by several regional ethnic-based insurgencies, including an Eritrean nationalist insurgency that sought greater autonomy. The government relied on terrorist strategies to establish control over the minority population. In this context, the She'eb massacre was carried out in retribution for a guerrilla offensive. State terrorism failed to deter the insurgents, who eventually captured the capital and oversaw the transformation of Eritrea to an independent state.
Ethiopia: Its People, Its Society, Its Culture
Book by Wendell Blanchard, Abraham M. Hirsch, George A. Lipsky, Bela C. Maday; HRAF Press, 1962
http://fenix.skamsk.ru/KFenixa/1/GLAWA_6.htm **** Ethiopia and Veda
Bulatovich sensed that Ethiopia was in a delicate state of transition, that what he was seeing would not remain or even be remembered in a generation or two. He had the instincts, although not the training, of an anthropologist, trying to preserve some record of fast-disappearing cultures. But he was not a scientist who observed with cool detachment. Rather, he was actively involved in the events he described, particularly on the expedition to Lake Rudolf. He became ambivalent, torn by his military duty (as an officer attached to the army of Ras Wolda Giyorgis) and by his personal values and sense of justice. Time and again, he found himself party to the decimation of the very people whose culture he wanted to preserve.

In 1896, a young Russian aristocrat and military officer, Alexander Xavieryevich Bulatovich (1870-1919), arrived in Ethiopia as part of a REd Cross mission sent to provide medical care for Menelik's soldiers following the Battle of Adowa.
Bulatovich's first book, From Entotto to the River Baro, published in 1897, consists of journals of two excursions he went on during his first trip to Ethiopia 1896-97, plus a series of essays based on what he heard and observed during his year-long stay with the Russian Red Cross Mission. The essays deal with various peoples of Ethiopia (Galla/Oromo, Sidamo, Amhara) -- their history, culture, way of life, beliefs and languages; on the governmental system and its historical background, on the army, on commerce, and on the Emperor's family.
With the Armies of Menilek II, published in 1900, is the journal of Bulatovich's second trip to Ethiopia 1897-98, during which he served as an advisor to the army of Ras Wolda Giyorgis as it conquered the previously little-known southwestern territories from Kaffa to Lake Rudolf. Here he builds on his previous knowledge of the country and also recounts an exciting personal story of military adventure, which builds to a climax in the final chapters.
Both books, edited and with an introduction by Isidor Savvich Katsnelson, were reissued by The Institute of Oriental Studies in Moscow in 1971.
