The Eritrean People's LiberationFront (EPLF) was an armed organization that fought for the independence of Eritrea from Ethiopia.
It emerged in 1970 as an intellectual left-wing group that split from the EritreanLiberationFront (ELF).
The Christian-dominated EPLF and the mainly Muslim ELF first struggled between themselves in a contested civil war (1972-1974) before succeeding in liberating large parts of the country together in 1977.
A new faction, the EritreanLiberationFront (ELF), emerged in 1960.
In the southern regions of Bale, Sidamo, and Arsi, the Oromo LiberationFront (OLF) and the Somali Abo LiberationFront (SALF), active since 1975, had gained control of parts of the countryside, and the WSLF was active in the Ogaden.
The ELF was composed mainly of Eritrean Muslims from the rural lowlands on the western edge of the territory.
