Oromo Liberation Front

The Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) is a political and armed movement established in 1973 that seeks greater autonomy and rights for the Oromo people, Ethiopia's largest ethnic group. It aims to promote Oromo culture, language, and self-determination, often opposing central government policies they view as marginalizing or oppressive. Over the years, the OLF has engaged in both political negotiations and armed conflict with Ethiopian authorities. Its objectives include advocating for democracy, equity, and recognition for the Oromo community within Ethiopia’s diverse society.
