OPride.com, a multimedia website that aggregates Oromo, Ethiopian, and Horn related news, made its debut in April 2008. In January 2009, bringing together a passion for social justice and art, the team started Oromsis blog. Oromsis is a derivation from an Oromo word "Oromsiisu/Oromoo taasisu" literally meaning to Oromonize.OPride.com has since grown to become the fastest growing website of its kind serving the Horn of Africa, mainly the Oromo and Ethiopian Diaspora. Twice, ranked among the top 20 Ethiopian websites by EthiopianReveiw, OPride.com is the second most popular Oromo website, after Gadaa.com, featuring regular relevant news and news commentaries (according to Alexa, a web-traffic reporting site).Mission: To Give a Voice to the Voiceless through Citizen Journalism.Vision: By lifting the bar of reporting, OPride strives to connect the Oromo around the world, tell the stories of the growing Oromo Diaspora and advocate for a social justice in Ethiopia. We unabashedly and proudly offer a uniquely Oromo perspective. However, not in its narrow sense but in its transcendental sense of freedom, peace, justice, human dignity, and redemption. At the core of our belief is also the idea that "Every Opinion Matters!". Beyond the rants, slants and the sound bites, we work to offer a discrete perspective on the news not only about the Oromo people and the Ethiopian state but also the troubled Horn of Africa region.
