  • The relations between Oromia and Addis Ababa has been great controversy as the subject sparked historical revisionism in the linkage of history of Addis Ababa. The area in the present day Addis Ababa called Finfinne where various Oromo pastoralists inhabited the region, and the emergence of Abyssinian expansionism under Emperor Menelik II which renamed the area as Addis Ababa in 1886. Throughout the 20th century, Addis Ababa was governed as the capital city of the Ethiopia under urban influence. After the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) came to power in 1991, Addis Ababa defined as chartered city, along with Dire Dawa in accordance with Proclamation No. 7/1992 of Transitional Government Charter. Article 3(4) of the Ethiopian Constitution defines in relation with Oromia Region, "the special interest and political right of the Oromo over Region 13 [Harari] and Region 14 [Addis Ababa]" since the city is located within Oromia Region border. Since then, there were considerable controversies over the status of Addis Ababa. In 2000, Oromia's capital was moved from Addis Ababa to Adama, sparking protests and demonstrations in the Oromia Region. In 2005, Addis Ababa was returned back to Oromia capital after pushback of the federal government's resolution. In 2014, the government proposed master plan to expand Addis Ababa's boundary into Oromia Special Zone by 1.1 million hectares, culminated the 2014–2016 Oromo protests. (en)
