The Oromo Federalist Congress (OFC) has launched the Oromo Youth League (OYL) on the 25th of January, 2014. The League is expected to organize and mobilize the youth in Oromian Zones to peacefully and lawfully struggle for a democratic system that respects the social, economic, and political rights of the Oromo people in Ethiopia. Out of 18 zones in Oromia, 12 zones sent their representatives, who, in turn, elected the 11 members of OYL’s Executive Committee in the presence of the Chairman of the OFC, Merera Gudina (Phd.), and the Secretary, Obbo Bekele Nega. The members of the OYL’s Executive Committee hail from the following Oromian zones: North Shawaa, West Shawaa, Illuu Abbaa Booraa, Qalam Wallagaa, East Wallagaa, Gujii, West Wallagaa, Finfinnee, and East Arsii.
