History of Oromo Hero's

  The Oromo are believed to have come from a Pastoralist/nomadic and semi-agriculturalist Nation. In the 16th century, after the Ethiopian Empire and the Adalian Sultanate fought and weakened both, the Oromo people expanded to the North (now northern Oromia). The religious leader ‘Bahire’ wrote in 1593 that the encouragement of the Oromo at that time was strong.

Historical sources indicate that Col. Abdissa Aga was born in Welega, Oromia. Abdissa had joined the Ethiopian Army when he was 14 and fought against Fascist Italy in 1936 in Ethiopia.
