Most of them live in East Hararghe (Oromia), Jigjiga (Galbeed), The not walled off part of the Harari Region (Harar), Fik (Galbeed), and a small amount of them live in Jabuuti and SL.

Insane that man is spreading anti-OG and anti-Darood fkd for 0 reason like tf did I do to you They have bigger Arsi-shaped issues to attend to but I get it r/Oromia can’t really do Oromo fkd there.

Wait I forgot to say "East and West Hararghe (Oromia)" in the 'most of them' section and "Diridhaba (Diridhaba)" in the 'a small amount of them' mb yall!

Also @Barkhadle1520 the specific region of Somaliland they live in is Maroodi Jeex.... they probably are the people you are talking about lmfao.

then an Oromo accuses him of faking his identity for political clout View attachment 375830
Our Hararghe fella then straight up says he is Somali by blood, Somali by language, and that his people marry other Somalis a lotTotal rejection of Oromo ethnic identity here (he even says Oromo identity is forced onto them)View attachment 375831
Then a Oromo says he should be deported to Galbeed lol.

LMFAOO they assimilate everyone omg

 

[Nnn]

One thing I don’t understand is why Oromos spend their time copying Somalis/Amhara/tigray people. Like you’d think they would have their own distinct culture considering their numbers. Aren’t they the biggest group in Ethiopia yet they spend their time copying smaller tribes.

They were once a small group, when a tiny group assimilates a lather group into itself they tend to keep their original traits.

A Syrian is a Arab but he is very different in comparison to a Arab from the Hijaz.

Their whole existence is based on assimilation of other groups thats what they do, before expanding into the horn they were naked bushites in kenya wearing animal skin

If only Imam Ahmed (AUN) didn’t put a heavy strain on the legendary Maya poison archers during the Futuh wars, exhausting them of their finances and manpower. They were the tribe that constantly kept the Oromos in check- when they were defeated the Oromos had a free hand to expand- the rest is history!

We actually know quite alot about the Maya, their kingdom, their customs, their twist in fate after Ethiopian expansion, and their ultimate demise at Oromo hands.

Now as for the Futuh war, they are mentioned by name (and by province- Wej) numerous times. They fought for the Ethiopian emperor as polytheists but were resolutely defeated by Imam Ahmed’s forced and then immediately defected from Ethiopia and converged to Islam.

Now as for their role in the early Oromo migrations, they were the gatekeeper of the Oromos, they could not go east through Somali lands nor go west as Lake Turkana blocked them- they had to go north, and guess who was there? The Maya. The Maya thus were embroiled in a long and contracted war against the Oromos, every single time the Oromos attacked they were slaughtered by their highly skilled poison archers, their attacks continued non-stop and they were about to give up on expansion until a certain Oromo told his kinsmen to don very thick hides [either rino, elephant, or hippo- sources differ- probably was all three]. With these hides the poison could not harm them and they pushed the Maya to their populated areas and due to their numbers and money being drained in the Futuh war they collapsed- Wej is now a Oromo possession.

After the Ethiopians heard about the fall of Wej province they sent scouts and confirmed the downfall of the Maya, the Emperor sent a army to re-capture Wej and thus the Oromo-Xabash conflicts were born.

Today the Maya no longer exist, being assimilated into the Borana Oromos.

Give me one source about them other than brief mentions in futuh

You won’t like me for saying this but…. Pankhurst (specifically his writings “The Ethiopian borderlands : essays in regional history from ancient times to the end of the 18th century”)

Not a popular figure in Somali circles due to his sources (Ethiopian imperial writings, local Xabashis) and his friends (the Ethiopian gov) having a anti-Somali slant but his work here is quite solid and nobody since has been giving such a through look into Ethiopian Imperial (and the conquered [Maya] Kingdom of Damot’s) primary sources.
