	Olf (unit) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The olf is a unit used to measure the scent emission of people and objects.
		One olf is defined as the scent emission of an "average person", a sitting adult that takes an average of 0.7 baths per day and whose skin has a total area of 1.8 square metres; the scent emission of an object or person is measured by trained personnel comparing it to normed scents.
		The olf should not be confused with the of scent imission (as opposed to emission), the decipol, which also takes into account the ventilation air flow.

	OLF and TPLF: Major Issues and Outcomes of a Decade of Negotiations since 1991
		After extensive negotiations between the OLF and TPLF on a draft document to be submitted to an upcoming conference, a preliminary understanding was reached on a draft that defined principles and mechanisms for resolving the central issues of self-determination during a period of transition.
		OLF's view was that the responsibility of central army was limited by an inviolable inherent right of the armed wing of every liberation force, during the transitional period, to safeguard national interest, security and the gains of the national liberation struggle.
		The controversy triggered by this incident was resolved by the OLF Extraordinary National Congress of 1998 that rejected acceptance of the TPLF regime's preconditions for peace dialogue with the regime.

	OLF kicked out of ULFO for joining AFD
		The adage is quite fitting to the implausible political marriage of the OLF with some Abyssinian political parties that took place on the 22nd of May 2006.
		This event, as thrilling as it is for the ones in the political union, must have chilled the spine of all Oromo nationals genuinely yearning for the unity of Oromo liberation forces and ultimately the liberation of Oromiyaa.
		The OLF presumably taking a note of the great disparity in military strength and resources between itself and the enemy, and considering the international political milieu, has unfortunately concluded that there is little hope of expediting the process of the national struggle.

	Interview of Oromo Liberation Front (OLF), by Les nouvelles d'Addis
		OLF is the culmination of the Bale Oromo Movement (between 1963 and 1970) which was an armed upraising against the repression of the Oromos and the product of the Metcha-Tulema civic organisation which tried to fill the gap in the underdevelopment of the Oromos at that time.
		The relationships between the OLF and the TPLF is a relation of armed conflict, thus we have problem with the OPDO as a political organization, although we don't have problems with Oromos in the OPDO...
		As to the OLF appearing to be a responsible organization, we think we have clearly shown this during the charter when we soberly and patiently recommended that the political problems and political issues in Ethiopia be handled very soberly and responsibly to the satisfaction of the people.

	Slanderous language doesn't bring solution: OLF
		The OLF is ready to engage the EPRDF regime in dialogue without any precondition at the presence of third party.
		It was with this firm belief and commitment that the OLF accepted seven attempts made by different accredited groups to bring the Ethiopian regime and OLF to round table dialogue.
		OLF had repeatedly made its stand on the issue of armed struggle clear.

		The OLF will contribute towards any meaningful peace effort, as it did in the past, to reach at a comprehensive settlement to achieve just peace for the Oromo and other peoples caught in the political conflict of the Ethiopian empire state.
		OLF leaders should advise their followers not to see their Ethiopian brothers in a suspicious eye.
		But OLF leaders and leaders of other organizations should be bold enough to break that cycle of dependence on outside circles.

	OLF calls upon Ethiopian army to follow Gen. Kamal’s example
		This is why the OLF called in Brigadier General Kamal Gelchu, Colonel Abbabe Gerasu and several hundreds of Oromo soldiers to leave the Ethiopian army and joint the Oromo national liberation struggle.
		Tolerance, with understanding of each other’s differences to embark on resolving the chronic political crisis that is consuming the fabrics of the country should be the guiding principles for all organizations, groups and individuals.
		Hence, the OLF calls upon all Oromo nationals and others to make timely decision to intensify their struggle against this repressive and tyrannical regime.

	Southern Environmental Law Center -- Navy's Outlying Landing Field (NC)
		An existing OLF in southeastern Virginia, meets the training needs of the Navy, but the Navy prefers to construct a new OLF in response to noise complaints and lawsuits by communities near the existing OLF.
		The OLF at the proposed site in Washington and Beaufort counties in North Carolina would devastate one of the poorest areas of the state.
		In Washington County, where approximately 80% of the OLF would be located, 22% of residents are living in poverty, and the median income is less than $29,000 per year.

	Oromo - The Forgotten People
		Today, while the TPLF and EPLF dominate the governments in Ethiopia and Eritrea respectively, the OLF is back in the "bush" (it has in fact been in the bush since June 1992) fighting their old comrades-in--arms who now rule in Addis Ababa.
		On a recent trip to OLF bases on the Ethiopian side of the border, our truck was attacked by bandits who sprayed the side of the truck with bullets.
		The OLF has about 17,000 men spread out in a large area, from the borders of Sudan and Somalia down to the Kenyan border Close to 8,000 of them are engaging the well-armed Ethiopian army on the southern front.

	OLF Opposition group complaints/counterpoints
		While it is correct that the construction and operation of an OLF will result in incremental effects on the ecosystem, there is no evidence that "irreparable damage" would occur.
		However, the area within the greater than 60 DNL noise zone around the OLF site where development of residential communities would be restricted represents only a minor portion of the available land area within eastern North Carolina that could potentially support this type of development.
		The Navy is attempting to export noise and pollution problems from the affluent populated areas surrounding Virginia Beach to rural Eastern North Carolina.

	Ethiounited: Testimony of an OLF officer at the Irish Parliament
		I am narrating this not to dwell on the past but to show the genesis and birth of the OLF over 30 years ago to end this misery and injustice.
		OLF had to continue its struggle through other means.
		It is in this spirit that OLF took a key role in the formation of the Alliance for Freedom and Democracy (AFD).

	What does the defection of Senior Army Officers of Oromo Origin Mean for the Democratization Struggle in Ethiopia?
		The OLF not only fully supports Article 39 (right to secession) of the Ethiopian constitution, it asserts that there will be no peace in Ethiopia until limitations on Oromia's right to secede are completely removed.
		The OLF's struggle is thus oriented towards increasing the feeling of Oromo separateness, making the Oromo feel threatened, and constantly inciting the population using highly selective (and often dishonest) recitals of Oromo/Ethiopian history.
		But OLF has not (or at not least not made public) a clear statement of its objectives that addresses all the obvious questions facing their cause.

	Press Release from the office of Represenative G. K. Butterfield
		In their motion seeking an injunction to halt OLF construction, OLF opponents used internal Navy e-mails to show that the selection process was manipulated, that it failed to objectively review alternate sites and ignored the field's potential harm to a nearby wildlife refuge.
		The OLF proposal includes an 8,000-foot runway aligned with the prevailing wind direction and ancillary facilities, including an air traffic control tower, airfield lighting and navigational and communications aids.
		An OLF would be used as a support facility for Navy and Marine Corps aircraft conducting operations, such as Field Carrier Landing Practice (FCLP) and other practice approaches, away from the homebase airfields.

	Maintaining Political Sanity: What the OLF Should Do Amid Political Insanity in East Africa
		In the dialogue undergoing between the OLF and the current Ethiopian government, it is clear that Meles’ rule was weakened after the recent elections in which the oppositions made a significant gain to the extent that the popular rejection of the EPRDF government of Meles Zenawi by the peoples in Ethiopia was clearly signaled.
		His calling on the OLF to negotiate while shunning the call of the oppositions to form a unity government, which Meles labeled unthinkable, is another political insanity on the part of TPLF/EPRDF.
		After all, the two parties that engaged each other did the major fighting in Oromo country while the OLF was absent and the failure of the OLF to emerge as a political organization at par with the people it represents is partly to blame.

	AFD, the Unity of Ethiopia and the Oromo/OLF Issue
		Of all the articles I managed to read in relation to the formation of AFD, Olaanaa Abbomaa’s The Essence of AFD has addressed the serious issues related to the concern of the Oromo people and their leading organization in understandable manner to both Oromo readers as well as to non-Oromos.
		Thus, the involvement of CUD and OLF in the alliance is not a miscalculation as some tried to say; rather it is a calculative move.
		In my opinion, it is based on this understanding that OLF joined Ethiopian forces and officially said "let us be together and work for the realization of freedom, democracy, justice, equality, peace and development in Ethiopia." So, we can be hundred percent sure that the Oromo people and OLF are not against unity.

		To set the OLF controversy in a larger context, we also gathered information on the overall impact of the military on North Carolina’s economy.
		Yet, there is considerable dispute with regard to the level of risk (to various species of birds and to Navy aircraft and pilots) posed by the proposed OLF site’s close proximity to the migratory birds that frequent the refuge and surrounding areas.
		The OLF in Washington and Beaufort counties, on the other hand, is estimated to have a recurring, direct impact of 50 to 60 jobs created and an increase in payroll expenditures of $1 million.

	"olf" definition from Double-Tongued Dictionary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		The new unit is called one “olf,” from the latin word olfactus (olfaction), although both the olfactory and the chemical sense are involved in the definition of the unit.
		One olf is the emission rate of air pollutants (bioeffluents) from a standard person.
		Using an odor panel as a subjective instrument, Fanger (1987) defined the olf (abbreviation for olfaction unit) as the emission rate of bioeffluents from a standard sedentary person in thermal comfort.

	Nazret.com EthioBlog - Commentary by Zewdu Bekele on OLF/AFD
		It is in our recent memory when the OLF leadership presented its cases, future plans and catastrophic consequential outcomes if the TPLF would not go as it had promised and signed in the provisional administration contract with the OLF during the formation of the transitional government in Addis Ababa in 1991.
		Ethiopians have always known that EPLF, TPLF, OLF and all the other ethnic based liberation fronts and liberators were getting their inspirations from the same source; smelling salts leftover from the era of colonialism intertwined with the evil ideology of Marxism Leninism.
		OLF is a spirit among the Oromos, albeit, a lot of weakness of the leadership.

	Press Release from the office of Represenative G. K. Butterfield
		Specifically, Butterfield said that he is concerned that the OLF would displace 74 property owners, take 30,000 acres off the local property tax rolls, and could have a negative impact on the quality of life.
		Butterfield said that Arny told him that the OLF process and Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process are “absolutely independent,” and that the community’s opposition to the OLF has no bearing on whether North Carolina military bases are closed or relocated.
		Construction of the OLF here would adversely affect the community as the unemployment rate has reached nearly 10 percent this year and this project would remove 30,000 acres of prime farmland from the hands of farmers and from the local tax rolls.

		The Ethiopian government considers the OLF to be a terrorist organisation, and has told IRIN that the spokesman was not proven to be representative of any interests in
