Oromia’s Irreecha Festival – A Revival of an Ancient African Culture – An Attempt to Understand and Explain
Fulbaana 27, 2015 | By Mekuria Bulcha, Ph. D
Irreecha 1903 at Lake Hora Bishoftu town. Thanksgiving, forgiving and forward looking expression day for Oromo.
Irreecha (also spellled Irreessa), the Oromo equivalent of Thanksgiving, was traditionally celebrated bi-annually in different parts of the Oromo country. The Irreecha Birra festival is celebrated in the month of September and Irreecha Arfaasaa in the month of April. Although it was a non-political festival, the irreecha was suppressed by Ethiopian regimes. Brought back to life by a struggle for cultural revival which the Oromo have waged during the last fifty, the festival is now playing a significant role in the manifestation and preservation of Oromo national identity. The festival in its traditional form is celebrated in different localities across Oromia. At the national level, it is an event that brings millions of Oromos from all over the Oromo country and non-Oromo visitors from other parts of the world to the shores of Hora (Lake) Arsadi in the city of Bishoftu in central Oromia. As such, it has no parallel in Africa. The festival is celebrated not only in Oromia, but has become an event which is observed transnationally by tens of thousands of Oromos settled in many countries around the world.

Where is the Oromo Struggle Now?
September 23, 2015 | By Ibsaa Guutama* | Ibsaa Guutama: Gubirmans.com
In olden days when they collect fire wood or fetch water, or when they spend the day playing in the fields and go back home, kids walk in a file all holding the waist of the other and putting the head on back of one in the front. Only the leader is able to see the surrounding; the others see only the ground beneath. All behind ask, “did we reach” without raising their heads. The leader replies, “we are almost.” They go on asking the same question and getting the same reply until the leader announces “Here, we are!” When they raise their heads, they see they have arrived home. Something is on the stove; the house is emitting smoke. They run with joy to their individual houses salivating. There was no more happiness than overcoming the tortuous road and reaching one’s goal.
