(Qeerroo, Finfinnee, 13 Sadaasa 2011) The month of November is special for Oromians. During this month Oromians all over the globe commemorate the historical Oromian student movement, known as Fincila Diddaa Gabrummaa (meaning, Revolt Against Subjugation), that was first lit on November 9, 2005 at Ambo High School, located about 80 miles west of Finfinne (Addis Ababa), and which engulfed the entire Oromian schools like a wild fire.

Ka'i Qeerroo

The movement lasted nearly two years, uninterrupted, but largely unreported and unnoticed by the international media, and continued to this day, taking several different forms, the main goal being to restore freedom, justice, and democracy for the biggest and yet most marginalized nation in Ethiopia: the Oromo.

In April 2011, the Oromian student movement underwent a qualitative change. Inspired by the Arab Spring, Oromian youth all over the globe came together by forming a coordinating body for civil disobedience known as the National Youth Movement for Freedom and Democracy (NYMFD) aka Qeerroo. In Afan Oromo “Qeerroo” literally refers to an unmarried young person. It can also mean simply a young person.

Several Oromo students who were graduated with first degree from different universities were denied job opportunity due to the usual allegation that they have been supporters of OLF, the Oromo Liberation Front. Among them are 400 who got their degree in environmental health, 240 in pharmacy, and 250 in medical laboratory. For more details read the following PDF  document: Oromian Students Movement in 2011
