Tribute to Ruth

At Fairfield House we hold Ruth Haskins dearly, she was the living history of Emperor Haile Selassie I, Empress Menen and the Ethiopian Royal family's time in exile whilst they lived in Bath, being nanny for the children of the royal family for a period during that time of Ethiopian distress.
Throughout her life she would so lovingly share her cherished memories of this time and we were blessed to hear these oral stories, and to develop our programme at the house with the information provided, mapping out the historical outline of the house, who lived there, and their daily activities, all thanks to Ruth.

A treasure who we will all miss dearly. Ever patient and kind, Ruth would meet with Bath Spa University history students completing placements at Fairfield house and it was never tedious for her to share the stories over and over again with the new students. She was always available to attend a function at the house, meeting visiting dignitaries and attending both Ethiopian and Rastafari events, giving talks both at Fairfield house and on occasion at the Theatre Royal in Bath.

With her unique lifetime of experience, not only serving His Majesty but also surviving a bomb attack in Bath during the blitz of WW2, Ruth was always called on to give interviews for documentaries on both radio and television. Her precious testimony about time spent working for the Ethiopian Imperial family can be seen in our own ‘’Footsteps of the Emperor’’ by Dr Shawn Naphtali Sobers. In this documentary, Ruth recalls the poignant moment back in 1937 she saw His Imperial Majesty’s tears splashing onto His mustard gas burnt hands upon hearing an update of the war in Ethiopia:

‘’ I suddenly realised that the tears were rolling down his face and splashing onto these damaged hands and although I was only 16, I thought that was terribly sad, but it was of great significance, and i think the memory of the Emperor’s tears will always stay with me.’’

Ruth Marjorie Haskins

Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother and Great Great Grandmother.

A devoted servant of His and Her Imperial Majesty and the Royal family of Ethiopia

A wonderful lady loved by all at Fairfield House

Rest in Everlasting Peace

Ethiopia’s socio-economic challenges in 2025

Ethiopia faces a complex array of socio-economic challenges in 2025, shaped by persistent structural issues, environmental shocks, and ongoing reforms. Below is a detailed analysis of the key challenges:

1. Food Insecurity and Agricultural Vulnerabilities
Climate Shocks: Recurrent droughts (e.g., the 2022 drought, the worst in 40 years) and locust infestations have disrupted agriculture, which employs ~70% of the population. Over 20 million people faced severe food insecurity in 2023, exacerbated by heavy reliance on rainfed farming.
Conflict Impact: Displacement from conflicts like the Tigray war (20 million displaced) and ongoing instability in Amhara and Oromia regions have disrupted livelihoods and food systems.
Structural Weaknesses: Post-harvest losses, poor food safety, and limited logistics capacity hinder productivity, with 15 million people relying on food aid

Trump has threatened 100% tariffs on BRICS nations, including Ethiopia.

Ethiopia is not currently among the countries directly hit by the tariffs that President Trump imposed on Canada, Mexico, and China. Those measures—25% on Canada and Mexico and 10% on China—were aimed at specific trade partners rather than on BRICS members as a whole.

However, during his post-election period Trump has also repeatedly warned that he would impose 100% tariffs on any BRICS nation if its government or the bloc as a whole were to take steps (for example, by promoting or creating an alternative currency) that could challenge the U.S. dollar’s dominance in global trade. This is a conditional threat rather than a blanket policy.
