It's been 13 years since author Tesfaye Gebreab took us to Mount Kunddo.
"Journalist's Note!"
There are 31 stories in this book. But story 12 will never be forgotten. History of Tuba.
A story that is as big as Karamara in the minds of many readers.
After all, it is not human history. There was no political gossip. It is the story of horses. If they call you a horse… Is it a cart horse?
not at all!
The story of the rebellious horses: "Now man has multiplied!
A memoir about the amazing horses that they never forgot to belong to humans.
Horses that chose to die rather than live under the yoke of human slavery… A common story.
Author Tesfaye Gebreab, who climbed that mountain, was assigned a special 'Egerrsa Goro Farmer' and three other herdsmen.
Fortunately, he did not return empty-handed. When he climbed the mountain, he returned with a story.
In short, he revived the horned horses with his pen.
When he visited them 13 years ago, there were about 50 of them. When he disappeared, they perished. Years later, they were reduced to 7. It is said that they have now reached 28 with great difficulty. If so, thank you!
We have just come down from the mountain. We must climb the mountain again. Let's stop here and ask a simple question:
Why are we concerned about the number of horses? Why do we care about their lives? And for the wild horse! Why not make a mockery of them when they need them? And should I worry about the horse !?
If so, we are wrong.
This is not the case with horned horses.
Horses' hooves are not thrown around like old men. Heroes are horses.
They are nowhere in the world but in Ethiopia.
They are Ethiopia's treasure trove for cancer. Like a red fox, like a walrus….
They are 'gamma fuels, mountain gold' that generate millions of dollars for Ethiopia every year if they can afford it.
When did we know this? Who told us?
"Gamma oil, mountain gold" generates millions of dollars every year for Ethiopia.
An Ethiopian scholar with a PhD on horned horses
Dr. Kefena Ifa, author Tesfaye Gebre-Ab was also Haromaya when he published this book.
It was the eve of their graduation.
"I wish I could do my research on a value-added, intangible subject," they say, years later.
They conveyed their ideas to the then Alemaya University Adviser, Professor Mohamed Yusuf.
For his part, Professor Mohammed talks to them about an article written by Tesfaye Gebre-Ab. About horned horses.
"I never knew there was a horse in the wild at that time. My hope is my origin," he says.
What happened next?
"As soon as I heard about the horses, I left everything and went straight to Gurus. I climbed Mount Kundo and saw them.
With his draft, Dr. Kefena headed to Portugal, where he was pursuing a master's degree. The same sentiment awaited them there.
"The Franks got into a fight because they could not believe the story of the wild horses.
Mount Kunddo is located in Ejersa Goro. It is a tall mountain on the border of Oromia and Somali regions.
Two and a half years on Mount Kunddo
In this PhD study, which lasted three years and 10 months, Dr. Kefena spent 2 and a half years walking around the ants' quarters.
Mount Kunddo is located in Ejersa Goro. It is a tall mountain on the border of Oromia and Somali regions.
For Dr. Kefena, climbing that mountain like a monkey was difficult. Taking a gene sample from the horses is another challenge.
Because the horses are wild. They seem to be in constant conflict with humans. It takes great care to approach them.
"We have to cover their faces first to take a sample. They are very careful. They are dangerous. They bite."
By the way, Tesfaye Gebreab testified to that in his book.
Matthew writes that even the shepherds whom Ejersa Goro sent to the mountains would be bitten and killed by the horses.
Tesfaye said this in the narrative about the behavior of quinoa horses.
They are rebellious; (Journalist's note)
Dr. Kefenan: Is this statement a partial invention created by the author's pen? We asked them. They told us not to exaggerate.
Author Tesfaye has said this in addition to his character, about the body of the horses.
They are as high as a hill, their torso is turned upside down like a storm. Their skin is pale and shiny. (Journalist's note, 163)
Dr. Kefena agrees with this statement.
"That's right; they are huge. Their beards are hanging down their necks. They are also majestic. The cubs themselves are huge and alert. If they hear a sound, they will turn a deaf ear.
According to Dr. Kefena, this consciousness may have originated in the wild for centuries. They lived in tents with leopards and hyenas.
When they doubt their surroundings, they stand with one another. Their union is impressive.
"They can bite you if you approach them. They've lived their lives in the wild. They're wild. They're angry. You just look amazing."
"We have to cover their faces first to take a sample. They are very careful. They are dangerous. They bite."
From Ejersa Goro to Portugal-Porto
"It was the best time of my life," says Dr. Kefena. That is why they do not feel tired.
Once you collect a sample, The next time they took the sample, they flew to Portugal, again to Ejersa Goro for another sample, and once again climbed Mount Kundo….
This is how Dr. Kefena was 2 years and 10 months old.
This was not just a feeling. The same is true of professors at the University of Porto.
"They were very, very surprised. They never expected such wild horses to exist. It was a miracle for them," he told the BBC.
Why, then, do the ants become so vocal?
According to Dr. Kefena, the wild horse is rarely known in other worlds. In Africa, it is thought to be in Namibia.
Another reason is that the horses have no ancestry. Where they came from is still a mystery.
Unsolved, this puzzle makes the horses unique.
To this day, there are many hypotheses about horned horses, but no truth has been reached.
Are the Horse Horses the Left Ahmed Horses?
Dr. Kefena explains how horses in general are closely linked to Ethiopian history.
From Imam Ahmad to Adwa, kings cannot be imagined without horses.
This is also written in history.
We can emphasize that horses were 'drones' for ancient dynasties.
Kings and their horses are firmly rooted in Ethiopia's recent history. Abba Tatek, Abba Koster, Abba Tina, Abba Shanko, Abba Daingew, Abba, we can represent all the kings, all the patriots on their horses.
Some of the most famous horse breeds in Ethiopian history are the Selale Horse and the Wilwal Somali Horse. Both are riding horses.
Where did the ants come from? Why did you become a wild horse? Are they really offended by humans?
Dr. Kefena's short answer is "Unknown!" It says. But they did not go unnoticed.
The first hypothesis is that the horses are war horses. This arises from their behavior.
"One of their unique characteristics is that they do not make noise when moving. At night, they do not make their voices heard. This is the nature of a war horse."
As a result, it is doubtful that the mounds of these horses were war horses.
Well, let it be a war horse; But where did they come from? How did they become a wild horse?
Tesfaye Gebreab revolted, rebelled; He hates slavery.
Dr. Kefena disagrees with the author's hypothesis. Wait, they'll explain why later.
Now let's move on to the second hypothesis:
The second is Dr. Kefena's hypothesis that horses were used during a great war.
They also cite the reasons for this hypothesis.
One is that the mountain on which they settled was called strategic for war.
The second amazing thing is that some people still come from the north and use it as a place of worship.
"Why did this happen? We took it as a research question," said Dr. Kefena.
From this they move on to the third hypothesis.
To the battle of Imam Ahmad.
The horses are nowhere to be found. Where they came from is still a mystery.
Are they the horses of Athenaeus?
To understand this myth, we need to go through the history of medieval Ethiopia.
It was a 30-year war between Ate Lebna Dengel and Imam Ahmad.
Lebendengel lost to Leftine at Chimbra Lake. It is said that the Left had 16,000 horses in that war. Will those horses be horned horses?
Claudius, the son of a virgin, continued the struggle. Imam Ahmed was killed in a battle near Lake Tana.
The army of the Virgin pushed the Left's army to Harar.
Left's wife, Battalion, was angry. She wanted to avenge her husband's death.
About the same time, she was asked if she would marry me. Probably Nur Ibn Mujahid asked this question.
She said, "If you cut off the head of Ate Galaudius, I will marry you."
This man got into a fight. He kept his word. He beheaded Claudius and brought her to him.
A fierce battle ensued, likely on Mount Kundu.
When Claudius' neck was red, perhaps the galloping band of Claudius had disbanded.
Where does the horse go when the soldier drops his horses and escapes from the mountain? As soon as they climbed the mountain, they were left alone.
This is what the local elders are saying, like a mountain mound.
If we accept this hypothesis, then these horses have lived on Mount Kunddo for 500 years.
During this long period of time, they have created their own empire. They have struggled with nature. It means they have accepted evolution.
The giraffes, although their source is a domestic horse, have been in the wild for hundreds of years.
This is where Dr. Kefena disagrees with Tesfaye Gebreab.
Author Tesfaye Gebreab tries to convince us that the horses are rebellious from human slavery.
But Dr. Kefena says this is not an idea at all.
They explained why the horses could not miraculously climb that mountain on their own. Unless you are forced to climb a mountain.
"It's not for the horse, it's for us.
If they do not come out on their own, then someone has taken them out. Probably the soldiers of Claudius.
"What do you think? Horses can't one day escape from a mountain and climb a mountain.
In this three-year, 10-month PhD study, Dr. Kefena spends 2 and a half years walking around the bees.
What will Ethiopia gain from its stallion?
Dr. Kefena repeatedly says this. "We Ethiopians do not know our wealth.
They lament that the horses are a great asset.
The horned horses explain that tourist floods could have occurred in another world.
"Even the French have not acquired such an incredible nature. They admire the smallest detail.
They also claim that horses are a genetic resource. Because they live in the wild, they have many unique abilities. They are resistant to disease. If you mix it up, it will create another great treasure.
Good news recently. Even though it was late, the ants got a reminder.
Recently, three institutions agreed to take care of them together.
The Ethiopian Institute of Biodiversity, the Oromia Environmental Protection, Forestry and Climate Authority has signed a document with Haromaya University.
Over the next ten years, he plans to take care of his horses and make them a major tourist destination.
If successful, Jarso and Gursum districts could be visited by thousands of visitors.
Ejersa Goro became another Axum, another Lalibela, another Ertale.
"Kunddo is an amazing mountain. There is water at the top of the mountain. It is green. It is like a lake. I wonder how nature itself protected it," said the researcher.
"We do not know our resources, but we do know them," said Dr. Kefena, now director of the Holeta Agricultural Research Institute.
Prominent scientists have told the BBC that they are paying close attention to the issue, following the publication of their findings in international journals.
Horses in the wild are a miracle to the world, he said.
Dr. Kefena Efa still says:
"We don't know what we have in our hands, even though we know it."
