  • Demography and Health
    SNNPR Southern Nations Nationalities and Peoples Demography and Health Aynalem Adugna, July 2014 www.EthioDemographyAndHealth.Org 2 SNNPR is one of the largest regions in Ethiopia, accounting for more than 10 percent of the country’s land area [1]. The mid-2008 population is estimated at nearly 16,000,000; almost a fifth of the country’s population. With less than one in tenth of its population (8.9%) living in urban areas in 2008 the region is overwhelmingly rural. "The region is divided into 13 administrative zones, 133 Woredas and 3512 Kebeles, and its capital is Awassa." [1] "The SNNPR is an extremely ethnically diverse region of Ethiopia, inhabited by more than 80 ethnic groups, of which over 45 (or 56 percent) are indigenous to the region (CSA 1996). These ethnic groups are distinguished by different languages, cultures, and socioeconomic organizations. Although none of the indigenous ethnic groups dominates the ethnic makeup of the national population, there is a considerable ethnic imbalance within the region. The largest ethnic groups in the SNNPR are the Sidama (17.6 percent), Wolayta (11.7 percent), Gurage (8.8 percent), Hadiya (8.4 percent), Selite (7.1 percent), Gamo (6.7 percent), Keffa (5.3 percent), Gedeo (4.4 percent), and Kembata (4.3 percent) …. While the Sidama are the largest ethnic group in the region, each ethnic group is numerically dominant in its respective administrative zone, and there are large minority ethnic groups in each zone. The languages spoken in the SNNPR can be classified into four linguistic families: Cushitic, Nilotic, Omotic, and Semitic.

Hagera (Hagära) (locality near Awsa) ../.. [Pa] 1300s 'Amdä Seyon's forces killed the "King of Adäl". Three of his sons and a brother thereupon came to surrender. They promised that they would send word to the neighbouring kings and governors urging them to submit. "One of the Muslim leaders, the king of Hagära, a locality near Awssa, nevertheless refused. A chief of importance, as evident from the fact that he had ninety-nine governors under him, he summoned his people, and told them to 'make themselves strong and courageous', so as to destroy 'Amdä Seyon. 'If the Christians kill us', he fanatically declared, 'we shall be martyrs, and if we kill them we shall gain paradise'." "When the Emperor heard of the Hagära leader's stand he too 'set out in wrath', crossed the 'great Ekua river' - presumably a stretch of the Awash, and ordered his troops to search out the chief. They found him ready for battle. A fierce engagement ensued. The 'rebels' were strong, the chronicle reports. They included archers, and other soldiers who protected them with shields, as well as women who fought with sticks, 'like brave youths', and threw stones with great force. 'Amdä Seyon, however, was not deterred. He drew his bow, and with an arrow hit the Hagära ruler in the neck. He fell to the ground, whereupon his men fled. The Emperor's soldiers then surrounded and destroyed the Hagära army.
