Females the anchering, play greater role in the survival of any species.to win the female you have to have some strength, strong gene to pass it to future generation for the best survival of that generation.but, how to recieve that gene vary in every social group because of each and every believe system, and that is when myth slide through.

“Boran”, the neighboring tribe used to give away their 1st born infant to wilderness,and they were happy if the predetors feed on the them; Is it the right thing to do?, but for BORAN,it is believed that it will bring peace love harmony for the rest of their life ahead.Why people do what they do is very complex than we think, Boran do not practice that any more…it’s achieved through community education.

The Guji’s female initiate the young people to be a man before they marry them, and they have to prove them selves. the belligerency sets in, they think burji’s are more threatening, challenging, and there is total resentment in the very psychy of Guji’s. they know it’s wrong thing to do but,they do it to impress their females and other male ultra ego. it’s very primitive societal function, I do not think they are the solution themselves; the Ethiopian government could play a role in bringing peace through education. you need a strong leader who can bridge, mediate,inspire, and solve all the conflicts in a constructive way.tell the government to stop gambling, I am sure there are many other citizens trying to bring peace being part of the administration,their hands are tied, they may have addressed early symptoms, but the response by the government was not prompt, and in the end they take the blame for it, it’s not fair.It,s been the political game.

Get real in improving people’s lives, what more you need than having the Trans-African highway passing through this community,I see an immense opportunity for the tribes and the Government.how much it takes to energize the young people?, I am sure it’s easier than trying to bring peace in Somalia. Education….Education and Education….focus on your own……

Most of Ehtiopians do not know even the tribe Burji, all the southerners and other small tribes also suffer from the same racial stereotype. They were given subhuman names, like WOLAITAS were WOLAMOS, the GEDEOS were DERASAS, like calling the name, NIGER in USA. Burjis and other more darker tribes looked upon as slaves and ugly by Gujis, what do you know about marriages?, the tribal relations much better during the previous socialist government. The melese regime initiated the division in order to survive.I think to come to solution you have to get to the bottom of the problems, otherwise buttering up will never bring the solution.

The Gujis has to prove their manhood by killing the Burjis. it’s the fact and it’s for mythical reasons. Adult education for Gujis and other neighboring tribes is not longer in place, Government initiated the conflict in the first place in order to survive the elections. people need to be educated, it’s political, It’s needs to be analyzed and the matter has to be addressed to the world community, enough is enough.

Burjis have been threatened by the larger Guji tribe for many centuries.what he said in his comment is very soft, not a solution, the killers has to be stopped and brought to justice. trying to hide the obvious conflict from who?, the next phase of genocide has to be stopped, and the international community will involve, and they will be following the overall peace development closely, and no more killings from now onwards, thanks to the internet. no more lies, get that poor country right, by bringing peace to all.
