Gedeo people
The Gedeo (formerly known as the Darassa, a term now regarded as pejorative) are an ethnic group in southern Ethiopia. The Gedeo Zone in the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and People's Region (SNNPR) is named for this people. They speak the Gedeo language, which is one of the Afroasiatic languages.
== Overview ==
According to the 2007 Ethiopian national census, this ethnic group has 986,977 members, of whom 75.05% live in the SNNPR and 24.84% in adjacent parts of the Oromia Region. Almost one in sixteen—6.24% -- live in urban areas.〔
The culture of the Gedeo is distinguished by two features. The first is the ''baalle'', a tradition of ranks and age classes similar to the Gadaa system of the Oromo people. Beckingham and Huntingford describe the system as seven grades that span a 10-year period of birth, creating a 70-year cycle.〔C.F. Beckingham and G.W.B. Huntingford, ''Some Records of Ethiopia, 1593-1646'' (London: Hakluyt Society, 1954), p. 210〕 Asebe Regassa Debelo provides oral traditions showing that the Gedeo acquired the practice from the Guji Oromo, with whom they have had, historically, a close relationship.〔Asebe Regassa Debel, ("Ethnicity and inter-ethnic relations: The 'Ethiopian experiment' and the case of the Guji and Gedeo" ), Master's thesis in indigenous studies, University of Tromsø (2007), pp. 49f〕 On the other hand, their agricultural economy is based on cultivating ensete, as is their neighbors the Sidama people, whose language is closely related to theirs.
Besides the ''baalle'' system, before their conquest by the Ethiopian Empire in the 1890s, the Gedeo lived in a federation of three territories called ''Sasserogo'', or "three ''Roga''". These ''Roga'', Sobbho, Ributa and Rikuta, shared one ''Aba Gada'', which was similar to the Oromo office, and every eight years was passed to a new office holder in the next age set at a ceremony also known as ''baalle''. According to Gedeo tradition, all leadership positions from Aba Gada at the top down to the office of ''Hyiticha'' were assumed at the ''baalle'' ceremony, while specific roles were held by specific clans or sub-clans.〔("Ethiopian Village Studies: Adado, Gedeo" ), ''CSAE: Ethiopian Village Studies'', June 1996 (accessed 18 November 2009), p. 2〕
