The Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) headquarter in Gullalle, Finfinnee, has been officially renovated and reopened in a historic ceremony today, marking a significant moment in the Oromo struggle for freedom, justice, and self-determination.

1. Significance of the Reopening

• Attendees Included – Oromo activists, elders, youth, and supporters who see the OLF as a beacon of justice.

3. Why This Matters for the Oromo Struggle

• Sustaining Momentum – How will the office be used to advance the struggle beyond symbolism?

5. Call to Action

✔ Protect the Office – The Oromo public must guard this space against possible attacks or shutdowns.
✔ Strengthen the Movement – Use the headquarters for strategy meetings, legal advocacy, and youth engagement.
✔ Global Solidarity – The diaspora should document and amplify this development to ensure international support.

“This office is not just a building—it is the heart of the Oromo resistance!”
