Qeerroo Street in Asella was named to remember Qeerroos struggle

The Qeerroo (also Qeero or Qero) is a political movement of young Oromo men in Ethiopia.[1][2] In traditional Oromo culture the term means "bachelor"[3][4][5] but today symbolises both the Oromo struggle for increased political freedom and greater ethnic representation in government, "and an entire generation of newly assertive Ethiopian youth".[1]

The Qeerroo, also known as the Qubee generation, "first emerged in 1991 with the participation of the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) in the transitional government of Ethiopia."[6] Qeerroos also played a key role in the 2016 Ethiopian protests.[2] The BBC has described Qeerroo as being another name for Ethiopia's National Youth Movement for Freedom and Democracy (NYMFD),[7] which calls itself Qeerroo Bilisummaa Oromoo.[8] Jawar Mohammed, a Qeerroo,[9] played a key role in founding the NYMFD.[7]
