Office of Higher Commission On Human Rights (Working Group on Minorities - Problems of Pastoral Communities) Latest Verified Review 2023 Practice Questions and Answers for Exam Preparation, 100% Correct with Explanations, Highly Recommended, Download to Score A+ Thank you Mr. chairman for giving me this chance. My name is Genet Jarso and I am from Ethiopia. I represent Borana, Guji and Gabra pastoral communities that live in Borana and Guji Zones of Oromia Regional State in the southern Ethiopia. These are Oromo groups, which traditionally specialize in mobile pastoralism. They keep varieties of livestock species such as cattle, camels, small stocks and equines. Like many pastoral groups of Eastern Africa, these communities live in areas that are arid or semi-arid with low precipitation and erratic rainfall. Moreover, the area is prone to frequent droughts that often affect the pastoralists and their livestock. Together, the population of these three communities is estimated around 2 million. Quite a significant population of Borana and Gabra communities also live across the border in northern Kenya. With this brief background, I will highlight major problems that these pastoral communities face by focusing particular attention on insecurity of customary resource tenure rights.
