Oromo nationalism

Oromo nationalism (Oromo: Oromummaa) is an ethnic nationalism advocating the self-interest of Oromo people in Ethiopia and Kenya. Many Oromo elites, intellectuals and political leaders struggled to create an independent Oromia state throughout 19th and 20th century, since the start of Abyssinian colonialism under Emperor Menelik II. No consensus has been reached yet regarding the motives of this type of nationalism, whether the Oromos liberate themselves to form a nation-state or offer self-determination in federal Ethiopia.
