This research focuses on exploring the role of indigenous conflict management institutions in East Hararge, with specific emphasis on the Kombolcha District (District) from 1875 to 1991. The primary objective is to investigate the practices of conflict resolution, socio-political systems, and the cultural and historical connections of Afran Qallo. Moreover, the study examines the historical development, functioning, and challenges encountered by these indigenous institutions. To carry out this research, a qualitative approach was adopted, which involved conducting interviews and consulting relevant academic publications, books, and articles dedicated to the study of indigenous conflict management institutions. These secondary sources provided insights into various aspects, including the history, cultural practices, and socio-political systems related to Afran Qallo. By doing so, it contributes to a deeper cross-cultural understanding and knowledge of the historical and socio-political background of this indigenous community. The findings of the study highlight significant transformations that have occurred within indigenous law and the center of assembly, shaped by both internal and external factors. Internally, changes in social, cultural, and economic aspects of the community have played a role in shaping amendments to indigenous law. Factors such as shifts in power dynamics, generational gaps, changes in livelihood patterns, and the erosion of traditional values and practices have influenced the functioning and adaptability of indigenous systems. Externally, factors like invasion, legal pluralism, and the influence of contemporary legal frameworks have had a profound impact on indigenous law and the center of assembly (Caffee). These external factors have brought forth new norms, legal structures, and governance systems, resulting in the integration, reimagining, or marginalization of indigenous law and the center of assembly. Despite these changes, the research reveals elements of continuity within indigenous law. The flexibility of customary practices, the importance of community participation in decision-making processes, and the preservation of oral traditions all demonstrate the enduring nature of indigenous legal systems. By understanding the complex interactions between internal and external factors affecting indigenous law and the center of assembly, this research contributes valuable insights into the dynamics of legal and cultural systems. The findings add to the ongoing

This study assessed the history of Kambata and Hadiya relation from 1890s to 1990s.
Ethnicity can lead people to go back to their own culture as a last resort for resisting the
pressure of the modern life and the repressive successive states governed them. On the other
hand, the class manipulation and mobilization of the ethnic sentiments for purely narrow and
self-serving interests of a small minority of the elites who continuously struggle for positions
and some other ethnic maneuvers. Thus the Kambata and Hadiya Ethnic groups relationship
characterized and highly dominated by the Christian highland kingdom relation with the
agrarian society of Kambata in which paid tribute to the. As a result the nomadic Hadiya
group inherited the practices of agriculture led sedentary way of life .In addition to the above
characteristics, the geographical proximity and the language familiarity exposed them to be
administered within the same provinces and sub provinces from 1903-174 .That was why the
Christian missionaries established both spiritual and secular institutions to serve as one
community and enabled them to be highly facilitated their socioeconomic relation. Culturally,
one ethnic group shares others‟ language, religion, wedding, mourning ceremonies, dressing
style, hair style, feeding style and others with other ethnic groups. Iddir, iqub and mahber are
the natural outgrowth of a common historical background and the process of assimilation and
acculturation among the diverse ethnic groups in Kambata and Hadiya. The Kambata had
experienced a process of special ethnic relation with Hadiya and other neighboring peoples
since the medieval period due to population migration and movement. This occurred because
of the wars of Christian highland kingdoms and change of climate and demographic factors
such as migration due to population pressure, famine and land degradation in the north. The
Kambata and Hadiya had substantial interactions through local trade route. The Cushitic
speakers of this two peoples shared long boarder, live together; moreover culturally highly
assimilated than others.

This thesis focuses on a history of St. Mikael Orthodox Church in Dire Dawa (1917-1991).It is
the first EOTC that was established along the Ethio-Djibouti railway terminal. This study
examines the early foundation and development of the St.Mikael Orthodox Church since its
establishment by Ras Mekonnen up to the collapse of Derg Regime in 1991. It also examines how
the Franco-Ethiopian Railway contributed to the foundation of Dire Dawa and the establishment
of St. Mikael Orthodox Church. The roles of Ras Mekonnen and his son Teferi Mekonnen were
great in supporting the church with land grant and financing its buildings. In the highly
diversified city of Dire Dawa, the church embarked upon evangelical, cultural, social and
economic activities both before and after the Italian occupation of Ethiopia. In the post
liberation period, the St. Mikael Orthodox Church showed its sophistication in administrative
structure with the role of the clergies and the laities towards the growth and expansion of the
church as well as the socio-cultural activities which have been conducted by members of the
church. The research further describes the economy of the church and the basic source of
income from land grant. The socio-economic and socio-cultural aspects of the church are also
analyzed. Although the church somewhat suffered under the Italians, the pro-government policy
of generous land grants and Häile Sellassié’s close support and visits to the church enabled it to
thrive until 1974 revolution during which time the church faced substantial economic losses with
the confiscation of land and its properties. The impact of “Land to the Tiller” proclamation in
1975 is carefully examined. Since St. Mikael Orthodox Church engaged in socio-economic and
cultural activities, it had to generate incomes and run up business to scale up its income for its
evangelical activities in Dire Dawa.Moreover, the St. Mikael Orthodox Church played
significant role in order to solve problems related to inter-faith conflict and other problems
through the Church’s different administrative structure. Methodologically, the research is
crafted qualitatively. The views of 50 informants are taken in to consideration. The methods of
data collections are also diversified in order to maintain reliability and authencity. Hence, oral
interviews, published, unpublished materials and documents were exhaustively consulted
