Agaro

Agaro stands in the fertile Gibe country of southwestern Ethiopia, among the hills and valleys where coffee grows. It became the capital of Gomma, one of the Oromo kingdoms that emerged in the eighteenth century. Gomma lay between Limmu-Ennarea, Gumma, Gera and Jimma. Its people were known for farming, while the hills of Sinka and Bemba were held sacred and associated with prophets and large snakes.
