| dc.description.abstract | The dispute becomes a normal part of people's or communities' lives, resulting in large numbers of fatalities and a path of property devastation that triggers natural disasters. The primary focus of the study is on the function of native dispute handling and resolution procedures among the Horn of Africa's Borana and Gabra peoples. This is also consistent with the viewpoint that is currently being promoted by the nations of African intellectuals and the AU's ‘African Solution to African Problems’. Additionally, the study was driven by three goals: the methods used for resolving disputes in the communities, the legitimacy of justice in dispute resolution using the indigenous knowledge system and institutions, and the study's contribution to good governance and peaceful coexistence between the communities of Borana and Gabra. On the other hand the study used Purposive sampling technique to identify the area or district where the units of observation met the criteria, as well as to conduct convenient sampling, which is helpful when the researcher gathers data from the population that is ready and prepared to provide information. Secondary information is obtained from books, journals, Medias, online sources and newspapers. The finding also revealed that the patterns of dispute resolution by using indigenous knowledge system and institution is different among Borana and Gabra’s communities, but it is effective and acceptable procedures in resolving dispute. Finally, the study advised that concerned stakeholders support indigenous knowledge-based dispute resolution methods used by the Borana and Gabra communities, which go through various levels of dispute organs and promote peaceful coexistence among Horn of Africa communities | |
