Oromia Region facts for kids
The Oromia Region is a very important part of Ethiopia. It's one of the big areas, or regional states, that make up the country. Its main city, or capital city, is Addis Ababa, which is also known as Finfinne.
Oromia is the special home of the Oromo people. It's super big, both in how many people live there (about 35 million!) and how much land it covers. This makes it the largest regional state in Ethiopia!
