| dc.description.abstract | This paper deals with a history of Horro district from 1910 to 1991. The core of the study deals with the settlement patterns, the livelihood and administration of the people of Horro district under the regimes of Haile Sillassie and the Darg. It was at Oda Bisil that the Jawi clans of the Arfe groups split from the rest clans and turned north and settled in the present day Horro district. The Horro Oromo who were collectively called Horro-Horritti with the passage of time extended in to different directions and settled between the Anger River and the Finca 'a River. The people of Horro believed in Waaqa since time immemorial. The people also give due respect to Qaallu. With the passage of time, however, the Qaallu Institution in Horro continued to decline because of various reasons. The local attempt of Abishe Garba of Gobaya clan to establish a strong Oromo kingdom in Horro in the second half of the 19,h century was interrupted by the illegal expansion of the GOJjame force in to the area and the neighboring districts. Despite their defeat at the battle of Embabo, the Gojjameforce established aftI'm control on Horro IInti11901. With the evacuation of the Gojjame force from Horro in the early 20,h century, however, the Shawans imposed the new social, political and economic system over the area. Horro district as part and parcel of northern Wallagga was occupied by the Italians in 1936. Despite their short reign, the Italians were known in bringing different reforms ill Horro. On the other hand the post liberation period was the period of harsh exploitation for the mass of the Horro people. With the fall of the Imperial regime the political, social and economic condition of Horro people changed. The Darg's new reform was soon followed by other legislations and declarations. Even though there was wide spread opposition among the Horro people against such legislations and declarations, the Darg implemented them almost forcefitlly. Such obligatOlY decree in Horro increased institutional instability and created uncertainty and mistrust among the people against the regime. | en_US |
