The Oromo Liberation Front National Council has successfully completed its extraordinary meeting that was held from October 2-5, 2008. The extraordinary meeting was called to address heightened repression against the Oromo people perpetrated by the TPLF/EPRDF (Woyane) minority regime, issues regarding a minority splinter group that recently separated itself from the organization and other timely issues. The Council concluded by reaching unanimous decision on all the agenda items and giving policy guidelines for the executive committee.

After the thorough discussion the council confirmed that the Woyane regime heightened its repression against the Oromo people by aggressively depriving them of their natural human, political and economic rights using every possible means, including famine.
