It was created when the leaders from the OLF called on all parties of what is currently the AFD and a few others that turned down the offer, to form an Alliance to coordinate their efforts in toppling the EPRDF regime led by Prime Minister Meles Zenawi. Another opposition UEDF was once part of it until it left the coalition.
