Kefa

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.02 sec.

Kefa

Ancient kingdom in southwest Ethiopia. It was overthrown by the Ethiopians in 1897, and its organization and customs radically altered. The ritual surrounding the kingship was elaborate, and possibly connected with that of ancient Egypt and of the modern Bantu kingdoms of Buganda, Bunyoro, Ankole, and Ruanda. It was a famous example of divine kingship. Kefa is now part of the Southern Nation and Nationalities People's Region.

Kefa
