This was what the galla in the 16th century said in insulting way about the ppl in the province of Shewa and Amara (Bete Amara), - "Let us not shave our heads when we kill the people of Shoa and Amhara, for they are but speaking cows; they cannot fight.” galla used to kill ppl for fun. The claim tha...

I know very little about it (from the discussion with Portlandia and reading). From the little I know it happened during the 1st millennium AD and was as destructive as the 16th/17th century Oromo expansion.

I would really appreciate it if someone who knows about it say something or give source/s.

Yejju didn’t went that far northwest. They should be in north Welo. Their case is also complicated. Originally they weren’t galla/Oromo but gallanized later. So they shouldn’t be seen as Oromo during the latter migration. There is no Oromo tribe called Harari. The Oromo that went to Harar were Humb...

Ifat and Adal territories might included some part of Somali area but their proper areas weren’t at least for Ifat. Also their founders weren't. Let's not argue about this again. I've given you Ethiopian chronicles. We have long long oral traditions and medieval foreign sources to prove this is our...

Their are many theories about the origin of Galla word, but I'm sure it didn't originated in somali. Their is no written evidence to back up your claim. Your just being a somali, taking credit for everything that doesn't belong to you. The Oromos first had contact with amhara and other ethinc group...

Some Muslim Oromo groups used to prefer to be called galla than Oromo because the latter for them denoted being pagan. Watch Donald Levin ESAT interview. Za Dengel Where did you get this from that Muslims prefer to be called Galla? Back in the days during the emperor's era the Hararghe, Arsi and Ba...

Be assured you're closer to Tigrayans more than I could be as you're a chameleon Afar bitc.h switching identity by convenience! You can fool the newcomers on this forum but not me! "Gaal/Gaalla/Gaallo" which means infidel, merciless, barbaric, thief etc In Somali, 'Gaal' does only mean non-Muslim P...

1) there is no consensus on the origins of the term ''galla,'' there are multiple theories in regards to its origin: but one thing's for sure: it's an insult and oromos never called themselves this . that should be sufficient if u consider urself as an ally of the oromo, or even someone who respect...

Galla is derogatory word that came from somali language There might be a word galla in Somali language but you can’t for sure say it’s connected with the Oromo ppl because the word is also found in Oromo language with different meaning. For Oromo it was war cry and it’s possible that Ethiopians hea...
