Dear Readers, The slides convey information predominantly, but not exclusively about the - PowerPoint Presentation

Slide1

Dear Readers,

The slides convey information predominantly, but not exclusively about the Natural Resources of Oromia. Targeted readers are the youth in Diaspora, who might have alienated themselves from their roots and also the interested general public.

Extra visual items such as photos and usage of colors have been included to make the document palatable and attractive for the youth.

There is no doubt whatsoever that there might be errors in the presentations, Qubee spellings, interpretations, etc. A considerable amount of information might have been missed, predominantly due to lack of access to references.

I, therefore, urge all compatriots to edit, add, delete, supplement and improve whatever you deem

is

necessary to attain

a perfection

of this document which belongs to all of us.

For any constructive comments, I can be reached at:-

OROMIA

NATURAL RESOURCES

Slide3

The land of the Oromo Nation is known as

OROMIA

It is located on the Horn of Africa within

the

Ethiopian

empire.

 

 

Slide4

Slide5

As can be seen from the map above, the geographical boundaries of Oromia are to the: -

 

1. South -------------

Kenya

2. East --------------- Ogadenia 3. North East ------- Afar 4. West ---------------Republic of the

Sudan, and the

State of

Benishangul/Gumuz

5. North ------------

Abyssinia

proper (Tigray and Amhara)

6. South West

------Southern

Nations, Nationalities and

People’s

as well as the

State of Gambella

Slide6

The following map shows that Oromia is located approximately between: - 

3 Degrees and

15 Degrees North Latitude and

33 Degrees and 40 Degrees East Longitude.

Even so, the map depicts the current Oromia Zone only and does not include areas occupied by Wallo Oromo in the Amara region as well as Raya-Azebo Oromo annexed by the Tigrai Zone. The authentic regions claimed by the Oromo Nation are

indicated

in slide

three

above.

 

Slide7

Slide8

Topography

Oromia

has a land surface area of

approximately 375,000

square kilometers, and makes about

32% of the Ethiopian empire. Even so, the size estimate could exceed the current figure if territories occupied by Wallo Oromo and Raya-Azebo Oromo were included.

 

The Great Rift Valley, that extends from Lebanon

to

Mozambique and passes through

Oromia, bisects

the land into

eastern

and western

plateaus

.

Slide9

Slide10

The

elevation of the land ranges from less than500 meters to well over 4,500 meters abovesea level.

 

The highlands have an average elevation of about

2,500 meters above sea level. They occupy

About 48% of the total land surface of Oromia.Areas between 1,000 meters and 1,500 metersabove sea level constitute 38%, while regions below 1,000 meters make up the rest.

 

Slide11

Based on this

factor, the altitude of the land and its climatic

conditions

, Oromia is divided into three

geographic regions

. The Western/Central Highlands that extend westwards from the Great Rift Valley. These include Shawa, Wallaga, Illubabor and Jimma. 

The Eastern Highlands stretch eastwards from the escarpments

of the Great Rift Valley to Somalia. The regions located within

this plateau are Harrarge, Bale, Arsi and Borana.

The Great Rift Valley occupies the floor of the area between

the two highlands and covers the eastern and southern

lowlands of Oromia.

Slide12

80% of the total human population and 70% of the livestock of Oromia are found in the highlands .

This region also accounts for 90% of

the croplands as well as economic

activities of Oromia.  

Slide13

most notable highest mountains of Oromia

are

usually located in the eastern and central/western

highlands

Climate of Oromia

 

Slide15

T

hough

close to the equator, the climatic conditions of Oromia

are mild and favorable.

The average annual temperature in the highlands is about 20

Degrees Celsius. In the lowlands, it is about 30 Degrees Centigrade There are two main rainy seasons in Oromia.

In most parts, the major rainy season extends from June to

September, while the October to May period is considered as

the dry season.

 

Slide16

Generally, there are four seasons recognized by the Oromo people.

These are: -

 

1. Birraa (Spring) =

Transitional

period between Rainy and Dry SeasonsBona ( Summer) =

Dry

Season

Arfaassa ( Autumn/Fall) = Small Rainy Season

4. Ganna

(Winter)= Big

Rainy Season

Slide17

The highest amount of rainfall of over 2,000 mm is experienced

in the western highlands. Rainfall decreases to the east and southeast. These regionsreceive scanty rainfall.

The most southern regions

are considered as rangelands.

 

Rangelands are arid to semi-arid regions, where the annualprecipitation can sustain grasses and thorny bushes only and doesnot favor extensive farming. Therefore, the lowlands are occupied predominantly byPastoralists. They are also utilized for some kind of irrigationfarming.

 

Slide18

Administrative

Divisions of OromiaOromia is divided into the following 12 Administrative

Zones:

-

 

1. Western Wallaga 7. Jimma2. Eastern Wallaga 8. Arsii

The whole region is again divided into a total of 180 Waradas

or

Districts

.

Slide20

The Oromo Population

Slide21

The Oromo constitute approximately 45% of the currently estimated 85 million human population of the Ethiopian empire.

With this figure, the Oromo rank as the single biggest nationality in East Africa.

Slide24

People

of Oromo origin are also found in

Kenya (

see following map).

The overall

locations inhabited by these nationalities, and the names by which they are known are indicated in the following map.However, the distribution in Kenya does not

include Oromo

settlement in the Lamu Island located in the

Indian

Ocean.

Slide25

Slide26

Slide27

AFAAN OROMOO

Slide28

Afaan Oromoo

The

Oromo language is known as Afaan

Oromoo or Oromiffaa.

It is one of the Cushitic languages such as:-

Soomalii Affaar Issaa Saahoo Sidaammaa

Geedeo and

Ancient

Egypt (see next picture)

These language are and were

also widely

spoken in East Africa.

Slide29

Oromo from ancient memorial

Slide30

Afaan

Oromoo is spoken in the Ethiopian empire by

well over 50 million people as well as in some parts of East

Africa, especially in Kenya.

This figure makes

Afaan Oromoo as the Lingua Franca of the Horn of Africa.

Afaan

Oromoo is also the

second most widely spoken

Language in

Sub-Saharan-Africa.

Slide31

Agricultural Resources of Oromia

Slide32

Agricultural Resources of Oromia

The predominant economic sector of Oromia is based upon agriculture. This sector accounts for 51% of foodproduction of the Ethiopian empire.

Thus, Oromia is the single major source of food supplier

of the empire. Oromia also produces 63% of Ethiopia’s

agricultural export.

In addition, Oromia possess the largest livestock population of the Ethiopian empire.   

Slide33

This is substantiated by the following figures, which shows the

livestock resources of Oromia during the year 2005.

Oromia is divided into four agricultural production systems.

 

1. The Barley-Wheat-Livestock Production System

 

Regions in the Category: Arsi, Bale, East Wallaga, North Shawa Crops Grown: Barley, wheat, oats, xaffi, beans, peas, lentils.  2. The Mixed Crop-Livestock Production System

This system is practiced in almost all zones.

Crops:

Wheat, maize, sorghum, barley, oats, pulses, oil crops, caat, beans

 

3. The Enset- Cereal- Livestock Production System

Regions in this category

: Jimma to Walliso zones as well as in the

highlands of Borana.

 

Crops:

Enset, maize, xaffi, millet, wheat, oats, barley, pulses, taro, yam, sweet potato,

coffee, oil crops (nuggi, linseed, castor beans, pigeon peas,

etc.

 

4. The
