• What do you know about the Gadaa system?
• How, when and where the Oromos invented the most sophisticated system of its type -- the Gadaa system?
• Is the Gadaa system still viable to serve as a political system in the 21st century?
• Was the colonization of Oromia which brought about the failure of the Gadaa system or conversely, the failure of the Gadaa system which resulted into the colonization of Oromia? Which one is cause and which one is effect?
