Ahmad Taqi Sheikh Mohammed Rashid

Ahmad Taqi "Hundee" Sheikh Mohammed Rashid (1942 – 6 September 1974) (age 32?) was an Ethiopian Oromo nationalist, known, along with his comrade Elemo Qiltu, as the "first true fighters and martyrs of the Oromo causes". It was these two persons and their few colleagues who founded an organization with a fighting unit that bears the name of the Oromo people, although before them, many nationalists had fought and died for the Oromo causes. In addition, these men are credited with reviving and popularizing usage of the name Oromo in early 1970s.
