Once banned in Ethiopia, the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) is now likely to become involved in mainstream politics.
Tens of thousands of people attended a ceremony in the capital, Addis Ababa, to welcome OLF while other celebrations took place across the Oromo region.
This is the latest of sweeping measures taken by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed since he came to office in April.

So, is the country on track to reconciliation? And what does it mean for this volatile region?
