Jump to: navigation, search

Kaffa was a province on the southwestern side of Ethiopia; its capital city was Jimma. This province was created in 1942, following the liberation of Ethiopia from Italian occupation, by combining the following provinces created from conquered states into one administrative subdivision: the kingdoms of the Gibe region, Janjero, Kaffa, Goldiya, Shewa Gimira, Benesso, Guraferda, and Maji.

Kingdom of Kaffa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (558 words)
Kaffa was divided into four sub-tribes of the Sidamo people, who also spoke a language called Kaffa, one of the Gonga group of Sidamo languages; a number of groups of foreigners, Muslim traders and members of the Ethiopian Church, also lived in the kingdom.
During the 16th century, all of the territories north of the Gojeb River were lost to the Oromo migrations; however, the Kaffa kings compensated for this by annexing the neighboring small Gimira states, and in the later 18th century brought the neighboring state of Walamo under their control.
During the reorganization of the provinces in 1942, the former kingdom was enlarged by the addition of a number of other kingdoms from the Gibe region to become Kaffa Province.
