About Us
The Sidama Concern is devoted to
scholarship and human right activism with the aim of supporting society by
providing information. As a medium, it focuses on the the history, culture, and economic-political
developments of Sidama people of north east Africa, in today's Southern
Ethiopia. As events in the surroundings have effects on the said populations,
it also covers the current affairs in the Horn region.
As part of its aim, the Sidama Concern encouraged knowledge creation and
promotion of hitherto neglected area by producing and reproducing works related
to the Sidama world and its surroundings. In a small way, it contributes to
understanding of the prevailing contradictions and
the human condition. We also believe that change,
progress and improvement are always possible provided there is will. And the
will comes from people.
