Tulu Walal

Tulu Walal is a place of origin remembered in the traditions of the Macha and Tulama Oromo. Accounts locate this ancestral country in the southern highlands, among the lands of the Guji and northern Borana. From this region, Oromo groups moved across much of Ethiopia during the sixteenth century. Its name remained part of the historical memory of communities whose later homes lay far from the southern country.
