Abstract<\/h2>\n

The main objective of this study was to explore the practices and challenges of indigenous conflict resolution mechanisms particularly the Ze-wold in Raya Kobo town, Ethiopia. The study employs a qualitative research approach with the case study design. To conduct this, ten participants in the key informant interview, and five people in the focus group discussion were taking part and the researcher observed the process of reconciliation made by the elderlies. A total number of 15 informants were participated in the study. The collected data were analyzed using thematic analysis method. The finding of this study revealed that the Ze wold, indigenous conflict resolution institution is the most important mechanism to solve conflict in Raya Kobo town. Ze-wold indigenous conflict resolution mechanism is the wide area like school, church and mosque. Elders, families of conflicted groups, duberty, and religious fathers are participated in the reconciliation process. The main challenges of Ze wold indigenous conflict resolution mechanism is, fighting during the process, breaking the agreement after the reconciliation, unable to bring the criminal to justice and lack of budget.
