Abstract

Reconciliation is inevitable for restoring harmony among a society and making peaceful interaction between those who are at variance. The main objective of this study is to investigate the Abegar indigenous conflict resolution system based on community reconciliation in Haberu Woreda, North Wollo. This study employs a qualitative research design and descriptive nature. The study collected primary data from different informants by employing such qualitative data collection techniques as the interview, focus group discussions and observation. The finding of the study revealed that Abegars indigenous conflict resolution system aims at the restoration of order and harmony of the community. The types of conflicts presented and resolved in the community are inter-personal, homicide, inter-group in nature which stemmed from abduction of girls and women, violation of social values, theft, conflict over claims of a girl, competition over ownership of land, and drunkenness. The findings further show that family reconciliation, blood reconciliation (demmaderk) and compensation performance are the major community reconciliation procedures (methods) of conflict management used by the studied community depending on the nature and types of conflicts. Moreover, the ritual ceremony has symbolic and practical significance to established trust between conflicting parties that their relationship is restored. Keywords: Conflict Resolution, Indigenous, Reconciliation, Community

和解对于恢复社会和谐和在不同群体之间进行和平互动是不可避免的。本研究的主要目的是调查北沃洛Haberu Woreda基于社区和解的Abegar土著冲突解决系统。本研究采用定性研究设计和描述性研究。该研究采用访谈、焦点小组讨论和观察等定性数据收集技术,从不同的信息提供者那里收集了初步数据。研究结果表明,Abegars的土著冲突解决系统旨在恢复社区的秩序和和谐。社区中出现和解决的冲突类型包括人与人之间的冲突、杀人冲突、因绑架女孩和妇女而产生的群体间冲突、违反社会价值观的冲突、盗窃冲突、争夺土地所有权的冲突以及醉酒。研究结果进一步表明,根据冲突的性质和类型,家庭和解、血液和解和补偿绩效是被研究社区使用的冲突管理的主要社区和解程序(方法)。此外,仪式对于在冲突各方之间建立信任,恢复他们的关系具有象征意义和现实意义。关键词:冲突解决、土著人、和解、社区
