Background information East and West Hararghe zones of Oromiya Regional States are the two most populus zones of the region with over 6 million people(East Hararghe-3.8 million and West Hararghe 2.6 million). The geographic nature of East Hararghe zone is characterized as 8% high land, 25% midland and 67% low land with the altitude ranges from 500-3405 masl and the temprature ranges from 130c to 280c.Similarly,73% of West Hararghe zone is Agrarian whereas the remaining 27%(4 woredas ) are pastoralist.The agroecology of West Hararghe zone is characterized by 10% highland,38% midland and the remaining 52% lowland.The altitude of the zone ranges from 1200masl to 3600masl.Average annual temprature ranges from 20.50c to 240c. Both zones are charectorized with erratic rainfalls resulting in recurrent drought emergencies leaving over millions of people to relay on rellief assistance every year. .Due to the huge population pressure,the population density of these zones is estimated at 0.025m2 per person with a land holding size of less than quarter of a hectare per household. East and West Hararghe zones are recurrently affected by drought with its major impacts on food security and livelihood of the community, water for both human and livestock’s and pasture for livestock. During the drought years, competition over resources has been very common among communities within the zones and across the border with Somali region. Such competition used to lead to minor and seasonal conflicts which normally lasts for short period of time and being solved as per the existing cultural way of conflict resolution mechanism mainly lead by the community elders from both communities. But recently, conflict induced displacement has become the major emergency in both zones. According to the zonal officials and witnessed by the displaced community, the very nature of the conflicts they used to have over resources started changing since 2015 to an armed conflict across the borders resulting in losses of life, mass displacement and destruction of properties and infrastructures. The very nature was also escalated to urban cities where ethinic Oromos were expelled out of urban cities of Somali region and Somali land at the beginning of September 2017. These IDPs were expelled forcefully with exertion of physical attacks which resulted in serious trauma cases. They were made to flee empty handed deprived of their assets which they owned during their stay in the region. Majority of the IDPs who registered large capital loss stayed more than 20 to 40 years in the region and some are even born and grown in the region. The IDPs accross the border were also pushed out of their homes with agressive invasion of the Somali community supported and agitated by the Ex-Somali Region Liyu Police.The majority of these IDPs are pastoralist and agropasoralist.They lost their land,their houses were burnt,basic service infrastructures were damaged,propertise were looted from health and education institutions.These people were made to flee back to be dependent on the host community who themselves are under relief aid due to the consecuative failure of rain led drought affecting their livelihood. Following the federal and regional government changes since the year 2018,relative peace have been observed across the border of Oromia and Somali region contributing to the return process of IDPs.Accordingly,starting from the month of March 2019, the government of Ethiopia is aggressively working on building peace in areas of conflict to pave ways for voluntarily return of the IDPs mainly those across the border to let them start harvesting the belg and meher season of the year 2019/20.Accordingly, East Hararghe zone conducted peace conferences in Babile and Chinaksen woredas followed by return of over 154,000 border IDPs
