Hararis in Harar are being erased and dispossessed
The undertones of such comments are that the Harari region should never have existed. Time of UpheavalAfter Jawar fanned the flames with baseless claims, the Harari region became uncontrollable. Given their small population, constant intimidation, and abandonment by their government, Hararis in Harar endured in silence. While claims persist about Harari’s “bureaucracy favor[ing] ethnic Hararis over others,” in reality the majority of the bureaucracy consists of Oromos who don’t show favoritism towards Hararis. Consequently, this site has been reimagined as part of the ‘Hararge’ Oromo history with no real reference to Hararis.
