Mormor

Mormor lies in Bale near the Ganale River and holds a special place in the traditions of the Oromo of Hararghe. They remember it as a homeland from which their ancestors moved during the sixteenth century, and as a sacred destination of pilgrimage. Envoys known as jila travelled to the Abbaa Muudaa, the spiritual father, to receive blessings and bring them back to their communities.
