“The Oromo make up a significant portion of the population occupying the Horn of Africa. In the Ethiopian Empire alone, Oromo constitute about 30 million of the 55 million inhabitants of the Ethiopian Empire. In fact, Oromo is one of the most numerous nations in Africa which enjoys a homogeneous culture and shares a common language, history and descent and once shared common political, religious and legal institutions. During their long history, the Oromo developed their own cultural, social and political system known as the Gadaa system. It is a uniquely democratic political and social institution that governed the life of every individual in the society from birth to death.”
Read further and you’ll learn about the Ethiopian aggression against the Oromo people and their struggle for independence
Serious violations of human rights are occuring in Oromia and barely anyone knows about it.... same thing happened in Rawanda...and is happening in many other places around the world but no one intervenes until it's probably too late at which time it also becomes worthy of media coverage.

It's the same deal with the Sahrawi people from Sahara Occidental/Western Sahara in Morrocco. They're fighting for independence and autonomy - but very few know of their struggle.
Hasta la victoria siempre!
yes, Oromia exits in the mind of all 30 to 40 million oromos around the world.
Oromia shall be free
I am an Oromo living in the US. As you put correctly, few people are aware of what is going in East Africa. There is a gross violation of human rights committed by the Ethopian government. Unless the Oromo people's right to self-determination is respcted there won't be stability and peace in the horn of Africa.

It is a great thing to see this facts about the great people colonized in 21th century. Oromia is so rich than anyone excpect in easter Africa, Oromia is populated than any region in east Africa, Oromia and Oromos are only people marginalized and killed in their own land. Oromo people have struggled for 40 years but haven't achieved anything compared with how they suffered. Oromo people need decisive and strong new leaders. We need change I don't think the current leaders of Oromos struggle are not strong enough to make a change for this great people. Everything is there, but there is no leader , I don't think our rulers are sronger than oromos, rather oromos are not united and stand together to protect their right.
God Bless oromia, Oromia shall be free. Enough is Enough We need Change We need our Country Back!
