Somali nationalists coined common terms to unite with Oromo allies

Evidence

The terms ‘Abo-Somali’ and ‘Wariya-Somali’ (from abo in Oromo and wariya in Somali, used to attract a person’s attention) were coined to emphasise the close affinity between the Somali members of the W.S.L.F. and their Oromo allies; and on these lines, the Somali Abo Liberation Front (S.A.L.F.) was formed as an offshoot of the W.S.L.F. — I.M.
