Abichu Oromo

Abbichu Oromo are one of the Tulema sub clans who live in Semen Shewa zone in Ethiopia. In 1841 William Harris mentioned them as allies of King Sahle Silassie of Shewa. The prominent settlements and towns are Lami, Mendida, Jiru, Robe, Deneba, Enewari and Chacha.

History

The commander in chief of his army, Ayto Mirach, was from this clan. At that time they inhabited the land north of Galan tribe, South of Menz, west of Karayyu and east of Marhabiete. They became Christian in the 1830s, thus connecting the two Amhara dominions. The capital city of the tribe was Angolala. This tribe of Oromo were Amharic speakers and their territory joined the Amhara region.
