Boran Oromo

The Boran are a people found in southern Ethiopia and northeastern Uganda. They are a subgroup of the Oromo, who are the largest ethnolinguistic group in Ethiopia. Historically, the Boran Oromo were pastoralists and practiced a belief system centered on a sky god, retaining a formalized age-set system known as gada. While many Oromo have assimilated into other religious and cultural practices, the Boran have largely maintained their traditional customs. The term "Boran" can also refer to an East African breed of cattle. It is important not to confuse them with the Bororo people of Brazil.1234
