Yejju

Yejju Oromo people are sub clan of the Barento branch of Oromo people. They are one of the northernmost communities of the Oromo people.During the 17th century, the Yejju dynasty, more specifically, the Warra Sheik, or sons of the Sheikh, ruled much of the Ethiopian Empire during the Zemene Mesafint or "Era of the Princes.” Throughout the era, different ethnic groups, clans and communities made short-term alliances to acquire economic advantage and political power. The rulers of the Yejju dynasty were converts to Christianity, but their power base were the powerful Wollo Muslim principalities such as Warra Himano and Raayyaa.As early as 1890, under the reign of Menelik II, the homeland of the Yejju was organised into an Ethiopian province named for them. It was bordered by the Alewuha River to the north, separating it from Raayyaa Qobbo district, the Mille River to the south, separating it from Wollo Province, the Afar Depression to the east, and the highlands of Ambassel to the west. Woldiya served as its capital city. Currently, the territories of these northern tip Oromos are officially located inside Amhara Region, specifically divided between the districts of Habru and Woldiya town, with smaller portions administratively part of Guba Lafto and Ambassel.
