Governer of East Hararghe region of Oromia visits Makanis district

[Arkan]

East Hararghe Governor Marwo Miski Mohamed, accompanied by officials from the region, visited Makanis, which was designated as a district last year. The governor has supposedly launched new projects in Makanis that are yet to be announced. Bear in mind, the district is less than 10km away from Jigjiga.

In early January, the Oromia regional state also began training local armed forces from Makanis alongside Jinacsani.

The rumor circulating is that the Oromia regional state will designate a city administration in Makanis district next. In the worst case scenario, not only would this occur, but there's also a possibility of an army base being established in Makanis.

Mainly Jaarso inhabited but it doesn't really matter who inhabits it. It's part of Oromia.

I can't speak for all the borderland Somalis but the Jaarso clan are acceptant of it. They chose to go under Oromia.

I wouldn't use that edited map from Google. It's eaten up land from Faafan. Makanis and Bekenisa are the same thing, btw.

I heard they embraced it to the point where they abandoned their Somali lineage and identify with a fabricated Oromo one.

Some of their subclans are of somali descent but most of them have oromo lineage and only used to claim somali by culture. They now claim to be oromo and voted their lands to be part of the oromo state.

The plan is to eventually capture Jijiga and the DDS/somaliland border.

So some of them were never Somali but rather Oromo?
