Ethiopian Pastoralists Join Together to Discuss Peace
“If pastoralists resolve conflict cases with traditional negotiations through elders, there won’t be a sense of revenge. The Borana, Gabra and Guji set traditional rules for themselves and brought peace to their communities. Their law is not contrary to government law or the constitution and, as long as it’s not against the constitution, the government accepts any law set by the people in relation to their culture, religion or lifestyle.”
Legal Training conducted by the Oromia Justice Bureau for the Oromia Pastoralist Association
Looking at the laws, I prefer to be in Ethiopia, but looking at what pastoralists are doing, looking at what their rights actually are, I prefer to be in Kenya”
