Sahlesilase has never attempted an expedition I person against these war-hawks nestled in the lap of the mountains
who fight stark naked and are besmeared with lard from head to foot. Merciless, and predatory habits, they are represented as

The Oromo of Ethiopia, the Kingdoms of kafa and Janjero Even the rest of the Oromo themselves looked up on Arsi as especially ferocious, for them to murder at the
time of great festivals, is both an honor and a social necessity ,though if an Arusi kills a fellow-tribesman it is believed
that he will get leprosy; but inter-tribal murders are allowed without penalty, particularly at the end of each Luba
period. Before setting out to commit a murder for honor>> the Arusi drinks large quantities of blood, which produces a
condition of frenzy. Since the murder nearly always a cowardly one, they hide and kill unsuspecting wayfarers,
emasculating them and taking home the genitals a trophy .On their return the murderers enact the scene, with cries of
triumph and derisive imitation of the victims anguish. Only after such a murder may a man wear a copper ring in his
ear. When several men take part in a murder, the honor goes to him who strikes the first blow. Hence there is often
much quarreling. A man who sets out before a festival to kill and returns unsuccessful is not only ridiculed, but is
branded on the forehead and given a small jar of milk which he has to make into butter as a sign that he is not a
man.no man could hold a position in the gadaa-government unless he had killed a man or a large animal (p 64)
