Abstract

Irreechaa, the annual festival celebrated by the Oromo people, extends beyond being a mere celebration of Oromo culture. This multidimensional cultural phenomenon encompasses diverse aspects of religious, social, historical, and political significance within the Oromo people. Through its rich symbolism, communal gathering, and cultural expressions, Irreechaa serves as a powerful embodiment of Oromo identity, resilience, and collective memory. This commentary explores the multifaceted dimensions of Irreechaa, shedding light on its broader implications and its role in shaping Oromo cultural heritage under some ten points.
