Period of Activity
He was one of the first Oromo↗ war leaders recruited in 1617 to the royal service of King Susǝnyos↗ . Bukko proved to be indispensable as general for the Emperor whose territories were endangered by regular Oromo↗ raids and whose Amhara↗ warriors were unaccustomed to Oromo↗ warfare. So he was appointed both ?, ? of Dāmot↗ where his main duty was to repel Oromo↗ raids into the province under his government. Bukko rather being detached from the burning conflict between Catholic converts and Orthodox Christians in the country, was often sent by Susǝnyos↗ to render military assistance to his staunch Catholic half brother Śǝʿǝla Krǝstos↗ , the governor of Goǧǧām↗ much hated by the Orthodox Christians.
Death
He was killed on 25-09-1627in an encounter with a raiding Oromo↗ tribe.
