Oromo people
The Oromo people ( ; Oromo: "Oromoo") are a Cushitic ethnic group and nation native to Ethiopia and Kenya who speak the Oromo language as their mother tongue (also called "Afaan Oromoo" or "Oromiffa"), which is part of the Cushitic branch of the Afroasiatic language family. They are the largest ethnic group in Ethiopia and represent 34.5% of Ethiopia's population. 

Some Oromo people still follow their traditional religion, Waaqeffanna, and they used the "gadaa" system of governance. A leader elected by the "gadaa" system remains in power for 8 years, with an election taking place at the end of those 8 years.
