The Afar Liberation Front (abbreviated ALF) is an Afar political party and former militant group in Ethiopia.[1] It fought the communist Derg government and the People's Democratic Republic of Ethiopia from 1975 to 1991. After the Ethiopian Civil War ended in 1991, the ALF continued to promote Afar interests in the country peacefully.[2]
