Conflicts among Guji Rural Communities and their Indigenous Methods of Conflict Resolution in Dugda Dawa district, West Guji Zone,Oromia regional State, Ethiopia
Worku Feleke Ware
This paper examines conflicts among Guji rural communities and their indigenous methods of
conflict resolution in Dugda Dawa district, West Guji zone, Oromia regional state, Ethiopia.
Methodologically, data were collected from both primary and secondary sources. Non probability sampling techniques were employed to select sample kebeles and informants. 4
rural kebeles were purposively selected from the 14 total kebeles of the district. A total of 144
participants (96 KII and 48 FGD discussants) were selected by using snowball sampling
methods. The primary data of the study were collected through KII, and FGD, and analyzed
by thematic method of data analysis. Hence, the results of this study revealed that competition
over grazing land, fragmentation in land use system, in appropriate utilization of existing
resources and land alienation and encroachment are among the major causes of the conflict
among the rural communities in the study area. Loss of lives, severe physical injuries, loss of
properties, restricted mobility, reduced social relationships, forced migration etc. are among
main consequences of conflicts. The findings of the study revealed that Guji-Oromo people of
Dugda Dawa district use customary methods of reconciliation such as Jaarsummaa, and
Gondooroo to resolve disputes and also violent conflicts. Minor conflicts and disputes are
likely resolved through Jaarsummaa by the mediation of community elders. However, serious
cases related to severe physical injuries and losses of human life are likely dealt through
Gondooroo by the mediation of Gada leaders and Hayyuu.

For most Ethiopian rural households, food insecurity has been the most critical concern. Small-scale irrigation is among the first measures in increasing vegetable production, diversifying household assets and income, and improving household food security. This study measured the impact of small-scale irrigation use on household vegetable production and food security using outcome indicators of household food consumption score, household dietary diversity score and yield of onion. The irrigation users' and non-users’ households' food security status was evaluated using both primary and secondary data. Mainly, primary data was collected through structured questionnaires from 240 households by selecting 100 (41.67%) irrigation users and 140 (58.33%) non-irrigation users from four kebeles using random sampling methods. The data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, inferential statistical tools, and an economic model. The descriptive result indicates that there is a statistically significant mean difference between participant and non-participant households regarding age, extension contact, non-farm activity participation, credit access, distance from irrigation water source, livestock holding, training access, and landholding size of households. The impact of small-scale irrigation on household vegetable production and food security was studied using PSM methods. A cross-sectional survey and quasi-experimental methods of sample households were used in this study. The matching algorithm used was kernel matching with a bandwidth of 0.1. The quality of covariate balancing was tested using pseudo R2, mean bias, and the t-test. Results of the econometric analysis and descriptive results showed that those households (which) irrigation users have higher dietary, food consumption scores and got high onion yield than non-users. This study suggests that the promotion of access to irrigation can increase the yield of onion and improve household food security in the district

SUFFERING IN SILENCE: INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN IN HARAMAYA WOREDA, EAST HARARGHE ZONE, OROMIA REGIONAL STATE, ETHIOPIA

Intimate partner violence is still the most challenging issue of the current time, affecting women’s lives. To fight this life-threatening problem, understanding the problem, its causing factors, and women's attitude is crucial in formulating effective intervention policies. However, there is no study done in the Haramaya district as a result the prevalence, community attitude, and factors causing the violence are unknown. Therefore, the purpose of undertaking this research was to investigate the prevalence, women's attitudes, and the causes of IPVAW in the district. The study drew 256 women respondents by using simple random sampling techniques from each kebele administration. Data was gathered using an interview guide, key informant interviews, and focus group discussions. The quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive-analytical statistics and qualitative data were analyzed by using the thematic data analysis method. The survey result reveals that the lifetime and past twelve-month prevalence of IPVAW were 59.8% and 52.8% respectively. According to the study findings, most women had supportive attitudes (normalized) towards statements of sexual violence while negative attitudes towards all statements of controlling violence. Of 207 victims women, Only a small percentage of women respondents disclosed their IPV to the police which accounts for only 8.39% of total responses. The respondent's view of causal perception and their simplistic view of IPV, the victims of IPV clueless about where to report after being violently victimized, the victim's fear of losing their children, fear of further escalation of violence from the offender, shying with shame/embarrassment, believing there is nothing police can do and victims fear of exclusion from their community were among the reasons why they opted not to report an abusive act to the police. The study result also shows that jealousy/mistrust, cultural norms, infertility on the part of women, addiction, friend pressure, having extra wives, and work burden were the most factors causing IPVAW. Generally, the high prevalence of intimate partner violence is the implication of the urgency of the problem in the study area. Efforts to reduce IPV should be made by reinforcing the laws and policies that criminalize violent behavior. The concerned body (government, religious leaders, elders, and social workers) should change the cultural and social norms that escalate IPV.
