OLF a splinter organization which advocates for the succession of ethiopian provinces from ethiopia.
the aim of Olf is to dismantle Ethiopia as a country .The main reason for its argument is ,Ethiopia as a country had subjugated oromos as a nation.The oromos were not having equal rights as a citzen in Ethiopia and they were colonized by ethiopia, actually a base less argument.
In the first place the question of natiobn and nationalities is a marxist leninist approach which was advocated by Joseph stalin of soviet union.
Joseph stalin was a dictator and at times a leader of Soviet union. He had written a book , on his book he had given a brief explanation about nation , nationalities and how to solve the problems associated or related with this particular issue.
Actually according to his book , if we go deep to his analysis only nations could have the right to succeed from the entity where they believe that they had beeen denied their rights.
when it comes to his definition of nation , he has notified some criterias to be fulfilled.A nation to be considered a nation
1- it has to have a common language 2 shared geographical conditions 3_ the same culture 4-Economical relationships 5- a developed Pyscholgical entity .These are the criterias which has to be included to a nation to be called a nation .Generally in Ethiopia there is no any group, tribe which fulfils these criterias.

Let alone in Ethiopia , according to the socialist marxist approach where the stage in Ethiopia was feudo-capitalist , Even in russia where the technology was at peak , it became impossible to implement this theory,so Joseph stalin , when he was at power he stopped to implement the theory in to practice.
At large , Marxism a theory which had been proved wrong which means that the theory would not work in this physical world ,so why OLF is busy with its base less aim dismantling Ethiopia the answer is simple, olf and its leaders are looking for power , if that is not attainable they are getting their bread with this approach.
What a shame!!!
