On November 9, 2005, the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) called upon the Oromo people to embark on a historic, peaceful struggle—the FDG Revolution. This call was answered with immense courage and profound organization by the Oromo youth, students, and farmers, who rose in unified resistance.

In this struggle, our Oromo heroes made the ultimate sacrifice, giving their irreplaceable lives for their nation. Their valor served to strengthen the foundation of the OLF-led liberation movement within the country and ensure its enduring presence among the people.

The enduring legacy of the FDG is its dual mission: to dismantle the forces of dictatorship and to lay the foundation for an Oromo people standing at the threshold of freedom. As we mark this 20th anniversary, we honor their sacrifice and reaffirm our commitment to the cause for which they so bravely fought.
