Ituu

 ( Oromo Groups ) 

Ituu () is one of the clans of the Oromo people. This group lives dominantly in the present-day West Hararghe Zone. The correct term for the land of Ituus is "Chercher" or "Ona Ituu" (the Ituu Province). It is believed the extinct Harla ethnicity were incorporated into Ituu Oromo.

Clans Ituus are divided into ten clans: Baye, Wayye, Addayyo, Aroji, Babo, Gadula, Wachale, Alga, Gamo, Qalu, but there is no Galan in Ituu.

Religion The Ituu adhered to their traditional religious beliefs until the 19th century, at which point they embraced Islam, largely influenced by missionaries from Egypt and Harar.
