Documentary - The people of Yem, Yemninano
Yemi-nano means the
people of yem in Yemsa language. The center of Yem people is found 259 km away
from Addis Ababa, the capital city of Ethiopia. On your way to Jimma city, you
will find a town called SAJA ( the second largest village in Yem special district).
You will find the center and the major capital of Yem called FOFA when you go
like 27 km through SAJA. This place is 555km away from Awassa (Seat of the regional government).
The Fofa area is really green and endowed with natural
scene. You will have the chance to breathe
clean air. When you visit the area, you are a guest , the people will give you
a special greeting “ EKU NEGA KOFSENI” which means “Welcome”.
The Yem people has inherited historical values, kingdom
structure, music and cultural appliances
from their forefathers.
“Anger Fochara” is the area right in front of the Yem palace
founded in 13th century. This palace was
built by the first king of Yem called Balam and the palace is called Yangeri
Palace .
Three kingdoms passed through this palace until the
Ethiopian King called Menilik II conquered the area. These kingdoms are called
Gama Kingdom, Gemello Kingdom, and Mewa
kingdom. The last king from the Mewa
kingdom who surrendered to Menilik II is known as Gerano Bogibo. The Yem people
calls him “kemni” which means “our eye” because he contributed to the
modernization of the area including establishing formal schools in the area.
