	Gibe region - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Gibe region is used to indicate a historic region in modern southwestern Ethiopia, to the west of the Gibe and Omo Rivers, and north of the Gojeb.
		To the north of the Gibe region lay the Macha tribe of the Oromo.
		The Gibe region, with the rest of southwestern Ethiopia, was almost entirely annexed between 1886 and 1900 in a series of conquests by the generals of Emperor Menelik II.

	Kingdom of Gomma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Kingdom of Gomma was one of the kingdoms in the Gibe region of Ethiopia that emerged in the 19th century.
		Along with Guma, Gomma was the least economically developed of the Gibe kingdoms, and for this reason its monarchy did not emerge until late in the 19th century.
		Trimingham states that Gomma was the first of the Gibe kingdoms to convert to Islam, and quotes Major G.W. Harris as writing that by 1841 "in Goma the Moslem faith is universal." It was conquered for Emperor Menelik II by Besha Abue in 1886.

		An outline of Oromo pastoral origins is followed by an account of the wars between one section of the Oromo and Ennarya between 1600 and 1710, after which the four remaining chapters are devoted to the Oromo states of the Gibe region from 1800 onwards.
		All other Oromo communities, including those who migrated east to the Harar region and adopted Islam, those who moved west to what became Welega, and those who moved north into Shoa, Welo and Tigray, are simply ignored, as is the period between the initial migrations and the emergence of Oromo states around 1800.
		Even in the modern era, as witness the famines of 1973/4 and 1984/5, the region’s history has been at the mercy of its physical environment, while over an infinitely longer period, the sharply contrasting environments of highland, lowland and intermediate zones have shaped the peoples, cultures and political structures of the region as a whole.

		By documenting the periodic crises that faced the coffee producers of the Gibe valley, this dissertation has concluded that the incomplete transformation of the peasant society was due to the peasants' insufficient share of agricultural surpluses and lack of security for agrarian property rights.

		It is clear that two "bilaterally-managed regional funds" ("Endowment funds" in the Canadian documents) are to be established, one for good salmon works in northern areas (Alaska and north and central BC) and the other for southern areas (southern BC, Oregon, Washington and the Snake River).

		Funke told the group that when upriver tribes lost their salmon runs, it was "like you losing electricity." He said the region needs an ecosystem-based approach to recovery and more reliable data than what's coming out of the cost/benefit analyses in the Corps' DREW process and the Framework's economic and social studies.

		Although the Oromo are known for their democratic ("republican") gada system, Jimma and other Gibe states arose through a series of processes and historical events in the 19th century that propelled certain men into positions of supreme power.
