Ethiopia-Oromo Conflicts(1800s- Present): Ethiopia is a nation made up of many different ethnic groups, one of which is the Oromo. Ever since Emperor Menelik II used European weapons and tactics to conquer the Oromo in eastern and southern Ethiopia, a nearly continuous struggle has taken place. The Oromo Liberation Front is currently conducting a long guerrilla war against the Ethiopian government, and seems to be accepting aid from Eritrea and the Aideed faction in Somalia's ongoing civil wars. The OLF is also allied with the Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF) in Eastern Ethiopia. TYPE
