Horner ethnic group, with several subcategories
I can't provide the requested overview based on this context alone. The provided information—"Horner ethnic group, with several subcategories"—is too minimal to write an accurate and substantive 2-sentence explanation of why the Oromo people matter or what distinguishes them. To meet your requirement of basing the answer only on provided context without inventing facts, I would need more detailed information about the Oromo people.

They are one of the largest ethnic groups in Ethiopia. According to the last Ethiopian census of 2007, the Oromo numbered 25,488,344 people or 34.5% of the Ethiopian population. Recent estimates have the Oromo comprising 41,500,000 people, or 35.8% of the total Ethiopian population estimated at 116,000,000.
