Oromo made the wells in ogadenia, or some of them?

[Abba Sadacha]

‘’We carefully inspected the Ogaden wells, which were doubtless excavated long ago by the Oromos… they are hewn out of the solid rock, some 70 or 80 feet in depth. On his return to Berbera, after a visit to Harar in 1858, Sir Richard Burton (1894: 55) was shown ‘’some curious old Oromo wells, deep holes about 20 feet in diameter, excavated in the rock. Curiously, the Somali technology of water extraction differs from that of the Oromo, which might suggest that the two pastoralist cultures and their ancestors were involved in water engineering to different degrees.

The frontiers of the land kept changing historically between various groups. It depends on what time period you look at, so when the Oromo say the land belonged to them, you have to ask "which period?". What the imperialists met as they were carving up the land between themselves is only a small part of the history of that land and its people.

And you are right that if you stood there perhaps 500 years ago, it might have been someone elses land.
