Ethiopian Gov't Signs Deal to End Hostilities with Oromo Liberation Front
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ethiopia's government has signed a deal to end hostilities with the
Oromo Liberation Front, which the Ethiopian government had previously
labeled a terrorist group. The Oromo Liberation Front has been fighting
for decades for the self-determination of the Oromia region, home to the
Oromo people. This deal follows a historic peace agreement between
Ethiopia and neighboring Eritrea brokered last month.
