| dc.description.abstract | Argobba ethnic group is one of the least studied people in the country. This thesis is about cooperation and conflict of Argobba in Shonke village, Amhara region , Oromiya zone Dawachefa woreda thus, aims to add to the scanty information about the ethnic group. The major issues of the thesis are to assess the peace full coexistence that is manifested in prioritizing cooperation, to identify the causes and types of conflicts at intra and inter ethnic level, and hence the indigenous mechanisms i.n resolving conflicts. This research is qualitative in which I used various data collection methods, I did not rely on a single data collection method rather I lried to triangulate one with the other. The research out comes indicates that the studied village community prioritize cooperation to conflict and consider violent conflict as taboo and curse that would result famine, drought and other evils. They are characterized by peace full intra and inter ethnic coexistence. In this regard their indigenous conflict prevention and resolution mechanisms played important role. Co-operations and infrequent conflicts are mainly with in intra village and ethnic limitations. Almost all conflicts emerge in the society are resolved with their traditional institutions and not used the formal legal court system except for murder cases of course it is too rare. Religion in addition to claiming the same genealogy contributes in bringing integration among them and with their neighbors to a lesser degree. The community lived in a segregated village and cou ld maintain its language and culture. They used marriage endogamy as a mechanism for keeping their language as well as to redeem [rom the danger of loosing their identity. The segregation of settlement, language difference and the social and physical boundaries prohibited integration with the neighboring people. This is further intensified by the language based regionalization policy of FDRE in which the study people disappointed with their children to learn in other language and consider as oppression and denial of rights and as plot to disappear their language. The movement of political parties of the ethnic group for selfadministration in the zone and the subsequent permission by the regional state also creates the different attitudes towards one another. | en_US |
