Report on Oromo of Ethiopia

A report by the Christian Michelsen Institute (CMI) in Norway discusses issues of importance to the Oromo of Ethiopia. Edited by Siegfried Pausewang, it is titled "Exploring New Political Alternatives for the Oromo in Ethiopia." The sections of the report are based on presentations made at a workshop in Bergen in 2004. Comments I made at that workshop dealing with "Challenges and Prospects for the Oromo in Ethiopia" are included. You can access the entire report in PDF format here.
