- This two part series describes the Negelle Peace Accord that was developed and adopted by the traditional institutions and community members of the Borana, Gari, Guji and Gabra people residing in the bordering areas of Somali and Oromia regional states. The development of the accord followed a year-long peace process among the communities after violent conflict between the Borena and Gari in early 2009 disrupted their daily life and social relations. The peace process began with training in conflict prevention and resolution for zone and woreda level government officials, elders, women, youth and religious leaders from the community representing all clans of the Oromo and Somali ethnic groups in the affected area.
A draft law was produced and in December 2009, top clan leaders, regional government officials and the established committee met in Yabello to adopt the draft. Ratification of the agreement formally adopts the peace accord by the Government of Ethiopia. This helps ensure the communities continue to uphold the agreement with the support of the government's security and justice systems from the woreda to the regional levels.
