King Abba Jifar's Palace Jimma, Ethiopia
Former King Abba Jifar's Palace doesn't look like a palace by any stretch of the imagination. A series of wooden buildings; some reconstructed while others are in shambles. It is still important to visit because of Abba Jifar's historical significance.
His realm was important since the trade route ran from Zanzibar, and through Gambela to Jimma. An extremely big man (his height is said to have been, 2 meters-10 centimeters/6 feet-8 inches), Abba Jifar had six wives (the last one died recently at age 113), and 14 children.

Abba Jifar II was the son of Abba Gomol and Queen Gumiti. He had several wives: Queen Limmiti, who was the daughter of the King of Limmu-Ennarea; Queen Minjo, the daughter of the King of Kaffa; and Queen Sapertiti, also from Limmu-Ennarea.
In the 1880s, Abba Jifar II conquered a portion of the Kingdom of Janjero, which lay east of Jimma, along the Omo River, and incorporated it into his kingdom.
Due to the advice of his mother Queen Gumiti, he agreed to submit to Menelik II, negus of Shewa in 1884. In 1886, Abba Jifar II paid tribute consisting of slaves (including eunuchs), ivory, bamboo internodes filled with civet, jars of honey, locally made cloth, spears, shields ornamented with silver plates, and objects of wood (including stools). Because of these shrewd politics (Herbert S. Lewis' words), which included providing military assistance to Menelik in conquering the neighboring kingdoms of Kullo (1889), Walamo (1894), and Kaffa (1897), he was able to preserve the autonomy of Jimma until his death.[3] On the other hand, Alexander Bulatovich states that, when Jimma was annexed to Ethiopia, Emperor Menelik imprisoned Aba Jifar for inspiring excessive enthusiasm in his own standing army and trying to entice Abyssinian soldiers to his own service in Ankober for a year. When he was freed, Bulatovich continues, Aba Jefar again received the throne of Jimma from Menelik, and after that lesson became one of the most obedient of vassals and one of the most regular in paying tribute to the Emperor.[4]
Queen Gumiti also advised him to expand the cultivation of coffee in his kingdom, which provided increased revenue for him and his subjects.
In January 1898, as part of a Red Cross mission to southwestern Ethiopia, Bulatovich visited Jimma, and was the guest of Abba Jifar. While in Jeren, Bulatovich treated the Queen Mother for a little bronchitis.

Ambassador Mike spoke at the launch of our current Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation project aimed at restoring the magnificent Aba Jiffar Palace in Jimma. During the launch Ambassador Mike said, “This work supports a broader vision of creating a new cultural destination in the region that links the heritage of coffee, Aba Jiffar Palace, and Jimma into a broader context that reflects the extraordinary history, culture, and potential of this extraordinary part of Ethiopia.” The United States Government provided $125,000 for the preservation. The project will train a team of timber craftsmen and empowered to design and implement a maintenance plan to care for this palace, and eventually other historical sites in Ethiopia, well into the future.

Jimma Aba Jifar
The Kingdom of Jimma was one of the kingdoms in the Gibe region of Ethiopia that emerged in the 19th century. It shared its western border with Limmu-Ennarea, its eastern border with the Sidamo Kingdom of Janjero, and was separated from the Kingdom of Kaffa to the south by the Gojeb River. Jimma was considered the most powerful militarily of the Gibe kingdoms. Dawro, an Ometo dialect, was the native language; it later slowly gave way to Oromo.
