The Siltʼe people are an ethnic group in southern

Semitic language which is closely related to the Harari language.[2]

History

Siltʼe denote their origin in

Hadiya Sultanate.[3][4] The country of the Silt'e first appears in fourteenth-century texts as Silt'e-Ge.[5] Tradition states that some of Silt'e's forefathers were Harar resident Kabir Hamid and saint Aw Barkhadle.[6]

Other clans within Silt'e also claim descent from Hajji Aliye who accompanied

Battle of Hadiya thus protecting their frontier from Abyssinian annexation for the next three hundred years.[9]

The last Garad of the Gan-Silte dynasty was Sediso K’albo before Menelik's forces invaded in the 1800s.[10] Silte people were incorporated into Gurage region after their lands were annexed by Ethiopia following the defeat of the Hadiya leader Hassan Enjamo. In the early 90s Silte obtained a separate zone following protests that the Gurage ethnic label was imposed on them.[11]
