Southwest Shewa (Amharic: Debub Mirab Shewa; Afan Oromo: Shawaa Kibba-lixaa) is one of the zones of the Oromia Region in Ethiopia. This zone takes its name from the kingdom or former province of Shewa. Between 2002 and 2005, a number of woredas were separated from West Shewa Zone to create Southwest Shewa Zone. Inhabitants of this zone include an assimilation between the Oromo and Gurage peoples, the Chebo people.
