Conflict over land is a serious social problem in rural Ethiopia. This paper analyses diverse challenges to managing land-related social conflicts in East Hararghe Zone, Oromia, Ethiopia. The study was based on descriptive case analysis. The data required for the study were generated from a group of practitioners, government officers, elders, and community representatives through one-on-one interviews and focus group discussions. In addition, cases were selected and assessed. Inductive approach was used to generate meanings from the diverse data collected from the respondents and analysis of dynamic conflict cases. The study revealed that multiple social, cultural, economic, and institutional factors interact and affect smooth management of land-related social conflicts. The implication is that the effort to minimize the frequency as well as intensity of land-related conflicts in the study area should take into consideration the broader context within which conflicts occur and the processes that sustain their recurrence
