Wag (district)
Wag (Amharic: ዋግ) is a traditional Highland district in the Amhara Region of Ethiopia, in the approximate location of the modern Wag Hemra Zone.

Kingdom Of Garo
The Kingdom of Garo, also known as Bosha after its ruling dynasty, was an Oromo kingdom in the Horn of Africa. Established by the Oromo people, it was situated on the periphery of the Gibe region of Ethiopia. Location The kingdom of Garo had definite borders to the north with Kingdom of Janjero, on the east was the Omo River, and on the south the Gojeb River separated Garo from the Kingdom of Kaffa. Lacking a clear boundary on its western borders, the kingdom's subjects had constructed a series of trenches and gates to defend themselves from encroachments by the Oromos of the Kingdom of Jimma. History Werner Lange discusses the possibility that the kingdom of Garo had been a subsidiary part of Ennarea, in much the same way that Ennarea had been a part of the kingdom of Damot. By the reign of Yeshaq I, Garo had separated itself from Ennarea, and was a tributary state to Ethiopia; it may be the "Bosge" mentioned in the itineraries of Zorzi.
