Question

This ethnic group’s traditional governance system, which divides men into age-based groups that rotate every eight years, is symbolized by a black-red-white tricolor flag. These people’s gadaa system is more active among its Borana subgroup than among the Barento. The Irreecha harvest festival, which is celebrated in Bishoftu, originates in these people’s monotheistic religion of Waaqeffannaa (“wahk-ehf-AHN-ah”). The monk Bahrey recorded a large northward migration of these people during the reigns of (*) Sarsa and the earlier Gelawdewos. They’re not the Agew, but a “liberation army” named for this ethnic group (-5[1])sided with Tigrayan forces against the government of Abiy Ahmed, a member of this ethnic group. For 10 points, name this Cushitic ethnic group which is more populous than the Amhara in Ethiopia. (10[1])■END■ (10[1]0[2])
