Oromo

The Oromo (Oromo: Oromoo) are an ethnic group found in Ethiopia, in northern Kenya, and to a lesser extent in parts of Somalia. With 30 million members, they constitute the single largest ethnic group in Ethiopia and approximately 34.49% of the population according to the 2007 census. Their native language is Oromo (also called Afaan Oromoo and Oromiffa), which is part of the Cushitic branch of the Afro-Asiatic language family.

The Oromo were formerly called Galla by non-Oromo Ethiopians, and one may encounter this name in older texts, but it is considered a pejorative term.

Oromo Liberation Army

The Oromo Liberation Army (OLA) is an armed group of radicalized terrorists which massacre innocent ethnic minorities across the Oromo region and sometimes invade the Amhara region killing innocent civilians. Many of their fighters have long dreadlocks and look like Rastas as a result, including their leader Jal Marroo who is mentally unstable. Innocent ethnic Amharas and other minorities suffer from daily massacres. Sadly a lot of Oromos from Minnesota support this terrorist group.

Gamaachu: Akaam? (Greetings in the Afaan Oromo language)
Sabontu: Fayyaadha, galatta waqqa (I'm fine thanks to God)
Gamaachu: Do you support the OLA?
Sabontu: What is the OLA?
Gamaachu: The Oromo Liberation Army
Sabontu: Heck no! I condemn the barbaric things the OLA does to Ethiopians!
