Focusing on Baro Tumsa's pivotal role, this book explores the formation of the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) during a tumultuous period in Oromia and Ethiopia. It highlights the impact of the Haile Selassie government's repression of Oromo movements, particularly the Macha-Tulama Self-Help Association, as a catalyst for the OLF's emergence. The narrative delves into the organization's struggle against colonialism, the significance of collective action among oppressed peoples, and the broader implications for social movements and leadership studies globally.
