Shape-shifting Kistanes are the worst saboteurs of the Gurage unity.They have no loyalty to Gurage. Betray Gurage for the slightest of reasons and benefits. Their Gurage group identity is so shallow that the lowest bidder can purchase them to destroy Gurage in part or as a whole.
The 1878 Menelick-Gurage scenario repeated in 2023 when they sabotaged the Gurage Reqion quest in favor of cluster by Abiy Ahmed. Now again, Dobi Kistane kills, loots and burns Mesqan in solidarity with Mareqo in Butajira, in Enseno, in small towns and villages.
