Ethiopia's Oromo people have an indigenous philosophy called Namummaa, meaning 'humanness', which emphasizes relationships and peace in social life. The Oromo constitute about 38% of Ethiopia's population, primarily residing in Oromia, a significant region that influences the country's direction. Research by Bekalu Wachiso Gichamo explores how Namummaa informs conflict resolution strategies within the Oromo community.
