#Commentary: The politics of drought and pastoralism in #Ethiopia
In this commentary, the #Karrayyu Advocacy Groups highlight the severe challenges faced by pastoralist communities in Ethiopia, particularly in the #Oromia region, where drought and seismic activity have worsened an already dire humanitarian crisis. The piece underscores how pastoralism, a centuries-old livelihood, has been systematically marginalized by government policies that prioritize agriculture and large-scale development projects. The authors note that “pastoralism has never been acknowledged (politically or legally) as a viable livelihood,” leaving communities vulnerable to environmental shocks without adequate support.
The article details the devastating impact of prolonged drought and recurrent earthquakes on the Karrayyu Oromo, a population of 130,000 in the #Fantalle District. The commentary states, “Since November 2024, the region has experienced a series of gradual yet intensifying earthquakes,” which have disrupted traditional pastoralist ways of life, destroyed villages, and rendered grazing lands unusable. The authors emphasize that “urgent intervention is required to address the mounting humanitarian needs,” as displacement and resource scarcity threaten the survival of these communities.
The commentary also critiques the Ethiopian government’s response, accusing it of neglecting pastoralist communities while promoting an image of progress. The authors argue that the government has “entirely ignored the region’s worsening crises,” focusing instead on propaganda that portrays development and stability. This omission, they claim, is a “calculated effort” to mask the suffering of pastoralists, who have lost access to ancestral lands and face existential threats to their way of life.
The piece calls attention to the broader structural injustices pastoralist communities face, including land dispossession and economic marginalization. The authors warn that without meaningful intervention, the unique cultural heritage and ecological knowledge of these communities could be lost. As the commentary concludes, “drought is no longer just a natural phenomenon; it has been weaponized as a means of eradicating pastoral livelihoods and, with them, centuries of indigenous knowledge and cultural identity.”

#Ethiopia: Karrayyu pastoralists endure three-month drought in #Oromia’s #Fentale district, livestock deaths and displacement reported
Residents of Fentale district in East Shewa, Oromia, say the #Karrayyu pastoralist community has been struggling with severe drought for over three months, leading to livestock deaths and displacement. According to locals, the drought has affected eight kebeles, including Haro Qarsa, Dhebiti, Ilala, and Qarari. A resident, Qumbi Idao, said, “There is a complete lack of water and pasture,” adding that “so far, there has been no government intervention to assist the affected communities.” He also noted that security concerns prevent them from migrating to other districts as they did in the past.
Demise Boru, another resident, described the crisis as “extremely distressing,” noting that many have traveled as far as Metehara town in Bosat district with their livestock. He said some herders rely on byproducts from the Metehara Sugar Factory but face “long waiting times and high costs.” Another resident attributed the crisis to a combination of drought, conflict, and recent earthquakes, alleging that “the government is punishing the community” and that “those affected by the drought have been deliberately excluded” from aid.

#Ethiopia: Families, residents voice concerns as 20 #Karrayyu Gadaa leaders, community elders remain missing for 18 days
Families and residents of Fentale district, East Shewa Zone, Oromia, have expressed deep concern about the fate of 20 Karrayyu Gadaa leaders and community elders, arrested on January 6, 2025, and missing for 18 days. According to family members, the detainees were summoned by the Fentale district administration for a meeting and detained by security forces. Their current whereabouts remain unknown.
“We have no idea where they were taken. Twenty of those arrested are completely unaccounted for,” a family member told Addis Standard. Another added, “Officials told us, ‘No one is detained here.’ We fear for their safety.” Negasan, a resident, linked the arrests to the leaders’ reported refusal to facilitate the reintegration of Oromo Liberation Army (#OLA) fighters. The leaders emphasized that they could only assist willing returnees and cautioned against disrupting the Gadaa system, which they described as “preserved for generations.” Efforts to obtain comments from local officials have been unsuccessful.

My best shot - @JoeyLdotCom’s best #photographs. #Karrayyu camel-traders of #Ethiopia's #Oromo tribe. The hair-do (styled using #kibbeh or clarified butter) shows that they are traditional men. They are highlanders, so they look very different. #Metehara https://t.co/Xyd7e0bSiB
