HISTORY AND BACKGROUND

From the Pan-Gada discussions on the Oromian National Academy (ONA) electronic net-work between years 2002-2003, many attempts were made to channel Oromians aspira-tions towards identity building (Orommummaa), equality and justice by re-establishing theGadaa system at a national level. These initial efforts eventually led to the establishment ofthe National Gadaa Assembly of Oromia(KAAWOO GADAA) on 1stJanuary 2003, with itsheadquarters in Finfinnee, Oromia.

Gadaa, the remarkable system of the Oromo people was created with fundamental principles that;

■ The law stands above all men

■ Accountability must be the core value of leaders

■ Subordination of the military to deliberative assembly is theculture of the Oromo government

■ The supreme Authority of the National Assembly is the normand belief of Oromians

■ Electing leaders is the only way of governing the society

■ Seniority and equality is always respected

■ Limited single term of the elected leaders in the office is thecore value of the entire society

■ Testing period of election and investiture are the highest pri-ority of the entire process of the Gadaa government

■ History determines the future and the ethical guide of theOromo society

■ Secular governance, balanced opposition and the distributionof power across generations is a part of the Gadaa philosophy

HISTORICALINTRODUCTION



Gadaa system is the law and method that ensures the opportunity ofgroups to take turns of Authority and responsibility of government,in war and domestic affairs, national and international issues, adju-dicate conflicts and, after their partial retirement, sit in judgment ofthe ruling Gadaa class and give legislative leadership to their people.Generally speaking, Gadaa is a method of distributing authority andresponsibility across a nation’s whole life curse with a focused prin-ciple of realization and commitment to inter-generational equality.

After the colonization of Oromia by Abyssinians in year 1900, theGadaa system was not only banned from it’s official use but Oromosystems and culture were intentionally destroyed and Oromo placesnames were changed to Abyssinian names and the Oromo languagewas suppressed. As a result, the Gadaa system remained function-ing only in rural parts of Oromia.

The Cushitic Oromos have lived in the Horn of Africa for millions ofyears and are the largest ethno-nation in E. Africa with an estimat-ed population of 35 million. They occupy the most fertile land calledOromia of 600,000 skm (32,000 sqm).

Oromos are also the nation who invented a remarkable sophisticat-ed Gadaa system, the system of time reckoning that is based onaccurate astronomic observations associated with a complete day-month nomenclature permutation calendar, the like of which hasbeen recorded only three times in the history of mankind. Becausethe Oromo people understand the fact that their rich political culture,their ancient heritage, their institutions such as the Qalluu, Siiqqeeand their rich folk lore, their oral tradition and their ability to believein WAQAYYOO (one God) has been shattered by the Abyssinian col-onization, and because the Gadaa system ceased to function sincethen, a vast majority of Oromians support the usurped Gadaa move-ment. Hence, the Oromo people will re-construct the Gadaa systemonce again.
