The novel is set during the late 19th century, a turbulent period in Ethiopian history characterized by the expansion of the Abyssinian empire into the southern territories, including Oromia. This era, often referred to in Oromo historiography as "Burree Dhiilleessaa" (the time of subjugation), saw the dismantling of the Gadaa system and the imposition of serfdom. Walaloo Shamarranii does not shy away from the grim realities of this time. It illustrates how the colonial apparatus stripped the Oromo of their land, their governance, and their dignity. The author uses the setting not merely as a backdrop but as an active force that shapes the characters' destinies. Kuusaa Walaloo Afaan Oromoo - Apps on Google
