Here's a snippet on OLF from Wikipedia, FWIW:

[According to sources I've seen so far OLF is an ethnic Omoro group composed of people from native faiths as well as Christianity and Islam :

...Terror network
The Oromo Liberation Front was not known for its alliance with Arab militants but this was reported in 2006. The OLF's work along side the Islamic Courts Union (ICU) was notified in various media outlets but it was limited compared to other militant groups in the Horn of Africa. Mail and Guardian online reported that the Somali government captured many OLF rebels along side the Arab fighters in southern Somalia, who were called upon for a jihad against the Somali and Ethiopian governments.[23] In early 2007, the U.S. District Court charged Sisaye Dinssa of cash smuggling as well as carrying items on how to use cyanide to commit suicide, information about "nuclear power" and the anniversary of September 11, 2001 attacks. He was also identified of financially supporting the OLF.[24]
OLF in Somalia
Before and during the Somalia Civil war of 2006, OLF was suspected of working with Al-Ittihad, the dominant force behind the ICU. According to BBC reports dating as far back as 1999, OLF and Al-Ittihad were receiving assistance from Eritrea as well as helping Eritrea during the Ethiopia-Eritrea 1998-2002 war.[25] In April 1998, OLF held a congress in Mogadishu electing more militant leadership.[26] Eritrea also supported the Oromo fighters with a ship load of arms and additional 1,500 Oromo fighters being shipped from Eritrea to the south Somalia OLF training center of Qorioli.[27] In July 1999, OLF was stationed at the South Shabelle region and armed by Eritrea in order to fight Ethiopia during the border war. While Eritrea was attacking Ethiopia in the north, OLF managed to attack Ethiopia from the south West region.[28]
However the Ethiopians, allied with the Somalia government temporarly stationed in Baidoa and the Puntland regional troops, attacked ICU and OLF fighters in Southern Somalia. After the Ethiopians and Somali government defeated those fighters in Somalia, Kenyan officials also arrested OLF fighters who tried to cross into Kenya border.[29]
In addition, the Somalia government captured the OLF fighters who were supporting the Islamists and their backing Al-Qaeda operatives.[30] OLF fighters who were arrested in Somalia admitted their involvement with the radical Islamists and admitted of being trained in Eritrea.
They were noted being part of the 270 Oromo militants of OLF trained in Mogadishu with the Islamists before they were captured.[31] Leaders of the Somali state, while talking about OLF's alliance with Al-Ithad and Al-Qaeda, stated that OLF's destabilizing influence in the horn of Africa should be addressed.[32] Around seven OLF fighters surrendered to Kenyan authorities early in January 2007, in Garissa district. [33] OLF captives also confirmed being deployed in Somalia from Eritrea. Some of the captured fighters stated that they lived in Yemen before joining the Front in Eritrea agitated by a propaganda campaign by OLF radio.[34]...

They reportedly still have offices in Washington and Germany
