The Oromo Liberation Front—Oromo Liberation Army (OLF-OLA) condemns, in the strongest possible terms, the killing of civilians in Tole Village of Gimbi district in the West Wollega Zone of the Oromia region. Despite the genocidal regime’s malign misinformation and propaganda campaigns, the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA), as a political party and liberation army, was committed to its singular objective of emancipating the Oromo people from multilayered suffering under successive repressive regimes thereby ensuring sustainable stability in the Horn of Africa region.
There is no political or military objective, none whatsoever, that our army would generate by targeting innocent civilians. As repeatedly indicated, the OLA fights with systems of oppression, now led by the Prosperity Party of Abiy Ahmed, not with individuals, much less defenseless innocent civilians. We do everything in our power to protect civilians, Oromo and non-Oromo alike, and we are putting our lives on the line for their liberty and dignified existence in a country that has disregarded their basic rights.
It has now become obvious to any close observer that the Abiy regime uses the OLA as a scapegoat for any atrocity crimes it commits against civilians many of which have become undeniable against mounting evidence, and have consequently been conceded by the regime through the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission (EHRC) reports. Often, the regime perpetrates premeditated and unprovoked attacks on civilians for the sole purpose of disparaging the OLA. If recent memory serves us well, the massacre of the our Karrayyu Gada eleders, the truth of which escaped between the regimes’ fingers in a matter of weeks, was masterminded primarily to defame the OLA. The current massacre in Tole of West Oromia is no different. The regime organized a militia group called “Gachana Sirna” meaning “the guardians of the regime” that wear artificial wigs to impersonate members of the OLA and commit atrocity crimes in Oromia. While disparaging the OLA is the major goal across all crimes the regime commits in Oromia, the current attack in Tole has other specific objectives:
After the recent joint operations of the OLA and GLF in Gambella had been completed, the regime begun a killing spree targeting Oromo civilians across the city of Gambella in the usual retaliatory attack. Gambella Special Forces, Federal Police and associated régime security apparatus have been hunting down Oromo civilians and extra judicially executing them in broad day light. Social and conventional media abound by evidence of execution of Oromo civilians for in Gambella. Evidence that undeniably implicate the regime in the killings of civilians in Gimbi and many localities of central Oromia was also coming out in recent days. The regimes engineered the current massacre in Tole to cover the headlines regarding the Gambella and other Oromo Massacres.
A horrific video in which members of the regime’s army and associated militia group massacre civilians in Wollo during the so called “Menelik Campaign” —very likelycommitted in late December of last year, has also circulated on the social media since 17thof June. The crime was perpetrated by both the regular Ethiopian security forces and the Fanno militia and, at the time of the crime, the Fanno militia was under the regime’s army command. The Abiy government has to engineer the Tole massacre to change the headlines from the Wollo Oromo Massacre.
There is international pressure on the regime to organize an inclusive peace process to resolve the Ethiopian civil war. Unlike Tigray, the Prosperity Party wants to be the only voice representing the Oromo people in any possible peace talks. To that end, the regime is attempting to denigrate the OLA to deny the Oromo Cause spearheaded by OLA any voice on the international stage, and any seat on the possible peaceful resolution of the Ethiopian civil war.
Independently verifying what happens in West Oromia by credible third persons is virtually impossible. The regime has blocked the region from the rest of the world, in an attempt to prevent the international community from finding out the atrocity crimes that it commits. It keeps the region in the dark precisely to conceal its crimes and, despite the deafening silence, many in the international community know it. As always, OLF-OLA calls for independent investigations into the alleged atrocity crimes committed in Tole areas in West Oromia.
As we have repeatedly indicated in our prior press releases, we reiterate our call for ANY credible independent investigation not only into the current allegations but also all previous ones so that perpetrators are held accountable, serve justice to the victims, and adequately compensate their families. Stabilizing the Horn begins in Oromia!
Victory to the Oromo and all oppressed people! OLF-OLA High Command June 20, 2022
more than 35 of civilian house’s are burned In the West Showa Abuna Gindeberat #Dogoma Kibbii, Dogoma Yagot kebele, by Fecist group Ethiopian government forces.
1. This means that nobody, including the Government, can try to end your life. It also means the Government should take appropriate measures to safeguard life by making laws to protect you and, in some circumstances, by taking steps to protect you if your life is at risk. =>in ethiopia while saving human of regime is a dream, the regime takes a clean genocide to eliminate Oromos as anation from earth, he use all war weapons including Eritrean troops and all neighbouring regional state security forces against oromo people. Abiy also use famine as a war tool by starving the nations. but still the world can’t take any action as well as they solve the Ukraines problem in few weeks! generally in Ethiopia the regime had the right to kill any person’s that against their ideology, still the western media’s and international community had no interest to report about problems Oromos face by the regime as a nation. people’s are burned alive by the regime troops, in Oromia the regimes took aircrafts measure on innocent civilians, but the indiscriminate killing, ethnic cleansing and clear genocide declared on Oromo people’s had not get attention from all directions. b/c as @Tewdrosadhanom says the world can’t treat white and black life’s equally.
2. Public authorities should also consider your right to life when making decisions that might put you in danger or that affect your life expectancy. => In case of the listed rights on human right article; it is also listed on Ethiopia constitutions, but the successive Ethiopia regime including Abiy Ahmed intentionally violates the human right as well as the right given to nations by the empire constitution. all in all in Ethiopia the right given to nations and nationalities can’t do for Oromo people’s b/c the regime targets Oromo people as only Ethiopia empires enemy, but the fact is that Oromo is more populated nations of horn Africa which accounted 60% of over all nations included under the empires. while the Oromos are struggle for their natural and democratic right Abiy and his cooperated govt gives fire to burn Oromos.
3. If a member of your family dies in circumstances that involve the state, you may have the right to an investigation. The state is also required to investigate suspicious deaths and deaths in custody. => I can’t decide on this 3rd article b/c the killer have no interest to investigate clear evindece, so first of all Abiys regime is not yet a govt rather Abiy and his group a war criminal, that command the Tigray envelop as a result above 3.5 million tigrayans was starved and closed humanitarian aid assists.
In generally barbaric regime that terrorise civilian and his friends will humiliated by the public struggle in a near future, I hope the day will come and we hear what the western and Abiy friends speak.
only on this two week above 250 Oromos where indiscriminately killed by the Abiy regime.
1. west showa abuna gindibarat, 36 civilians including 6 years child by drone attack
2. in West showa ada’aa barga, 46 civilians only on two kabales by drone attack
3. in West Oromia several districts above 18 civilians by regime affiliated militia and ENDF, regional security force 4. in East showa karrayyuu fantaalle district above 39 civilians where killed atrociously by regime armed force including two local Gadaa leaders elders.
5. North showa warra jarso district today the regime army killed above 20 civilians when the civilians are on weeding ceremony.
6. in West Guji the regime security killed 13 civilians including 76 years old elders when they back from market.
7. And also they kill 18 civilians those where prisoned by regime with out any crime by taking From Bushoftu prisons.
8. above 92 farmers house were burned with all properties, by regime security, only at North showa zone.
The scope of war declared on Oromia and Oromo, and now going on is not less than that of Syria, Yemen, Ukrain, Tigray and others but still the suffer Oromo people’s can not get attentions, especially the humanitarian aid access were needed to save human lifes.
The Oromia region disaster and risk management commission reported 1.3 million deaths in livestock worth 26 billion ETB in the Oromia region, a local media reported. The commission also added that nearly 14 million animals have been affected by the drought in eight zones of the region, out of which 2 million are unable to move without support.
Begna Duresa, the director of precaution and disaster risk reduction at the commission, told the local news outlet that the continued absence of spring and autumn in the region has led to severe drought in a total of eight zones. Begna further stated that the study the commission conducted revealed that a total of 14 million livestock were identified as severely affected.
The director explained that providing fodder continues to be the biggest challenge as the drought continues to ravage areas in the eastern Bale and Guji zones. He stated that the government has only been able to respond to 10 percent of the total number of livestock affected by drought.
He expressed his hope that if this spring season experiences rain the damage is expected to reduce. The director, however, underlined his worry that the weather forecast indicates that the weather in eastern and southeastern Oromia would be dry
In the initial engagements with Mustafa Omer’s forces, the OLA captured several AK-74 rifles along with other weaponry (pic). https://t.co/EebW6TWftf
Our forces also engaged with SNNPR Special Police who crossed into Oromia from Yirgacheffe. They have withdrawn for now after a clash in an area called Qadida.
The main contingent of ENDF forces, along with federal police, and state militia, advanced on liberated Oromia from Nagele Borana. Battles took place in Malka Lammi, Malka Roqa, and Malka Guba.
At this time, 168 regime soldiers have been KIA and 3 have been captured in those engagements. The OLA has also procured over 80 pistols, 58 rifles, 42 grenades, and several 1000 rounds of ammunition.
The OLA is more than prepared to handle the Abiy regime’s desperate maneuvers. However, the measures its forces are taking on the civilian population are alarming. They r intentionally exacerbating the worrying humanitarian situation in southern Oromia.
As Oromo liberation actor we have to respond to our enemy, Ethiopian systems on time and appropriately that reverses or beat enemy and stop its advancement.
hence No appropriate action is taken when Oromo is eliminated from their land around Finfinee advancing every second and every minute. The Oromo elites think it is easy to take back or it easy to restore back the eliminated Oromo culture and identity. Our nation does not understand the nature of social change. They have to realize, is it possible, to restore the religion in Europe before Christianity? Is it possible to restore, the religion in the Middle East before Muslim? Is it possible to restore Oromo in Gonder or in Gojam? If tried, how difficult to restore Oromo culture and identity in Piaza, in Markatto, in Bole. Restoring is not as easy as preventing enemies from grabbing Oromo land. attacking those who are transferring Oromo land to enemy, punishing those who are measuring Oromo land and transferring to enemy ease thousand times easier than taking back and restoring Oromo to its land. In this case, burning the office established to eliminate Oromo by snatching its land is easier than evading those who already established the community. The enemy, Amhara ruled Ethiopian system action against Oromo during PP formed from the combination of EZEMA, ABN, Balderas and other Ethiopian Oligarchies, business men, artists and journalists have never seen in the history of Oromo has not got appropriate and the right response for its actions. They are doing whatever actions they can to suffer Oromo, to eliminate Oromo, to slaughter Oromo, to eliminate Oromo as individual, as a society, as identity and as a culture. Oromo has the ability and power that not only stop the action of its enemy, the Ethiopian system, but to eliminate and wipe them away once and for all, if the Oromo elites are committed to fight from their heart and first liberate self from dependent mentality, that either expect good thing and regret from their enemy Ethiopia or let others fight and die Oromo liberation, so that they enjoy freedom by the sacrifice of others. If fighting Oromo enemy is not a part time work for Oromo elites, if we love liberation, we have to equip determination to die for save Oromuma, hence we have willpower to overcome challenges, ups and downs, deaths and all harm we may face on our fight for liberation against the Ethiopian system, the enemy, Amara ruling, Oromo has exceeding power and energy.
CALL FOR OROMO ACTION ON PP MEETINGS, MARCH 11-13/22
At present when the killer of Oromo leadership system, PP, Amhara ruling groups killing holistic Oromoo leadership is organizing its meeting to make decision and advance to more sever action of slaughtering Oromo life, more cruel action to murder more children, to cut more Oromo necks, to massacre Oromo elites, to kill, making decisions and formulating laws to create the world on which Oromo is not existing. Amhara ruling groups currently mobilizing resources to fight for eliminate Oromo from this space. They attacked Oromo leadership system. The Oromo enemy murder Oromo Patriot leader and hero Acaalu Hundessa. They murdered 14 Oromo Gada Leaders. They killed the mind and head of Oromo Liberation leadership, ABO. They killed Oromo liberation leadership system, member and supporters of ABO. They declared Oromo Libration Power and the entire Oromo, terrorists by the name of OLA. PP is known by eliminating Oromo leadership system without losing its leaders by Oromo elites, part time worker who are unable to forecast the Oromo elimination, who are unable to review Oromo situation, who are unable to understand the existing situation of Oromo, who are focusing on describing the event of Oromo injury, and not on concrete action, strategy, and approach that resist or overcome the advancement of Oromo enemy, Ethiopian system. Oromo elites are kind heart for Oromo killers and slaughters of its life, the Amara ruling groups and oligarchs and business people financing Oromo elimination. They never and never say to block and kill the economic and business system of Oromo enemies. They undermine, or don’t have the capacity to think the importance of fighting the enemy entire business system. Combined from Amara ruling group killing culture and Isays brutal mentality, our enemy is severely punishing Tigrains and East Welega and Oromo Gudru Welega life by blocking food and lifesaving, medicine, bank and all things. EPLF was fighting the Derg economic and business system like burning oil stores in Masswa and Asmara, burring the courts and the media men. America in its all entire fights against Libia, Iraq, Osaman Biladen and ISIS, it is primarily killing their business and resources financing guns and fire. Oromo elites never understand the importance of destroying the enemy industry, the importance of killing enemy leaders, OPDO leaders, though the enemy leaders during EPRDF and Amara ruling groups give priority and enjoy attacking the Oromo elites economic system and business by expelling from economic and business ownership and leadership, by expelling educated Oromo workers from work and employment, by monopolizing economic and political leadership.
CALLING FROM FOR ACTION IS A MOMENTUM AT ENEMY, PP MEETING
If the Oromo leadership are really committed and love liberation and fight their enemy, they can mobilize all resources through media and action worldwide demonstration when their enemy illegal group will have its party first meeting for three days starting from 11-13/3/22. They can call for Oromo people to block and kill business resources the enemy use by blocking roads, blocking business, blocking to never buy and sell to Amara ruling groups oligarch and micro and macro level resources contributors. If they are really determined to fight the decision of their enemy from changing the Name Waliso to Gion, the name Ambo to Hager Hiywot and Adama to Nazert and the land of Oromo elimination before we Oromos lost Shawa to our sever enemy, Amhara ruling groups, they will declare some sever actions calling all Oromos to be armed and fight their enemies killing Oromos on their land land, use all what they can to fight their enemies by whatever they can, to totally burn and demolish the OPDO/pp system in Oromo land, to call for those illegally established parliament and government demolish the government as soon as possible, otherwise they will face severe punishment. we have to call Oromo workers, traders, business men, teachers, farmers to demonstrate and block all resources from reaching the Oromo eliminators. We call religious leaders to be on behalf of the power less and advice the enemies to stop harm of the power less so that love and peace germinate from not harming people. Being on behalf of the autocrats and encouraging their barbarous actions to continue as a blessed Gods did, the religious leaders instead advice people to tolerate and forgive whatever the harm, violation of our rights and injuries the powerless face. Instead of being hero to openly tell the government slaughtering people and blocking basic needs and lifesaving support, the religious leaders, advise people, the powerless to tolerate and not to fight, when their neck is cut by the government, when they lost economic and survival by the government barbarous acts and cruel heart.
Economic punishment of enemy is critical for Oromo to attack their enemy in advancing to liberation. Oromo knows how to punish Ethiopian Oligarch, sucking Oromo blood and resources for survival. Oromo people and the fighters of Ethiopian system have to learn from world civilization of embattling enemy by entirely cutting business and economy like what US and EU fighting of economic and business life. Fighting the economic resources of enemy is universal and effective. According to the known world media Yahoo news Russia is at “imminent” risk of defaulting on its debts as western economic sanctions choke off its access to dollars and other global currencies to pay lenders, a move that would have devastating economic ripple effects. The critical action forced the EPRDF led enemy Ethiopian system was the consistent burning of the Oromo enemy Ethiopian government resources like buildings in Aelem Gena, destroying cars and shops throughout Oromo land. Burning resources of enemy is one of the best solutions worldwide, as killing the solders is not enough to extinguish enemy. Killing the business, the financer and the law makers, the barbarous Ethiopian enemy system is fundamental to hurry up the decline Oromo enemy, Ethiopian business resources that buy guns burning Oromo life and resources on the Oromo land, the body that support the cruel mind that slaughter Oromo, burn families. Oromo liberation leaders and its supports and Oromo elites don’t understand, the importance of attacking enemy business and blocking all business our enemy, Ethiopian system, their intellectual and competency lagging behind from their enemies power, action, system and the nature of living things in fighting enemies. Not understanding and not promoting actions against the business resources threatening Oromo survival is inability to fit for survival and self-killing. Feeding who kill, the Ethiopian system, sheltering who burn, the Amhara ruling is the most backwardness and inability to compete and fight enemy.
Three years into Abiy Ahmed’s war on Oromia and 15 months into the war on Tigray, talks of national dialogue, reconciliation, and peaceful resolution of the Ethiopian civil war occupy a good part of the bandwidth across media houses: whether one looks at the social media or the conventional outlets, both in Ethiopia and overseas. Following a relative lull in the north since late December 2020, the ‘government’ of the Prosperity Party (PP) is prosecuting an operation to eliminate the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA) in the West, South, and Central parts of the country using desperate human wave tactics on the ground assisted by drones/air force fleets, on the one hand, and fill the air with ‘peaceful national dialogue,’ on the other. Why is the regime busy staging ‘peaceful national dialogue’ while it is also hellbent on intensifying conflicts in all parts of the country? Is there a process of peaceful national dialogue in Ethiopia? To successfully conduct a national dialogue that can contribute to sustainably easing the political malaise rocking the country at its core, the Oromo Liberation Front- Oromo Liberation Army (OLF-OLA) believes, that the following confidence-building measures and conditions are a non-negotiable prerequisite:
1. Reaching a negotiated cessation of hostilities across the country;
2. Dealing with Eritrean influence and withdrawing its forces from Ethiopia;
3. Releasing all political prisoners across the country;
5. Repealing the proclamation that designates OLA and TPLF as terrorist organizations;
6. An all-inclusive process that leads to the establishment of an independent commission acceptable to all stakeholders.
Regrettably, none of these confidence-building measures have been met.
1. Negotiated cessation of hostilities across the country.
Short of a relative lull in the Amhara region, the country is still in the depth of active conflicts and aerialattacks in the West (Gidami areas), South (Guji area), Central (north and west Shewa), and North (Wollo areas), including along the borders of and inside Tigray: Abala, May Tsemri, Tsegede, and Shiraro.
Unable to dislodge the Oromo Liberation Army from Oromia and the hearts and minds of the Oromo people, the regime has been using different tactics that they believe would do the trick. It is relentlessly using drones from, inter alia, a new base in Assosa, and human waves from the ground to attack our positions in attacks in the West.
At some point, the regime was deploying Abiy’s troops with artificial wigs to impersonate members of the OLA, and committing atrocities in a frantic attempt to distance OLA from the Oromo people. Now, it is trying to give some credence to its ‘national dialogue’ by parading dismissed ex-members of the OLF and OLA in front of its media outlets. It is also trying to deceive the international community into believing that Ethiopian stakeholders of all persuasion are participating in the process.
The reality on the ground is that the federal government and all regional Special Forces are fervently recruiting and training new soldiers. The regime—through its deputy Chief of Staff of the Army is also threatening the second chapter of heightened offensive to the conflict that took place in Nov and Dec 2021.
2. Withdrawing Eritrean forces from Ethiopia
With the benefit of hindsight, it’s now clearer than ever that the world erred Abiy’s war pact of 2018 with the Eritrean regime for a peace agreement for which it bestowed the Nobel Peace Prize. The world believed that it found a reformer in one of the most troubled regions of the world in the person of Abiy Ahmed, while Abiy took the bestowal as a stamp of approval to do whatever he desired in the region.
Abiy, then, invited Isaiass’s forces to assist in genocide, mainly, in Tigray and Oromia. Amhara expansionists took advantage of the opportunity to invade parts of north-west Oromia, and south and western Tigray. Abiy is now beholden to both forces. Peace will remain transient until Eritrea’s influence in the region is dealt with and its forces removed from Ethiopia. Today, however, far from removing Eritrean troops from the country, Eritrean forces are deep inside the country’s security apparatus in Finfinne (Addis Ababa) and fighting with our forces in Western Oromia, not to mention their continued role, chiefly, in western Tigray.
3. Releasing all political prisoners
Only a few months into office, and as soon as he made sure that he was in control of the country’s main security and intelligence architecture, Abiy had begun a heavy crackdown on members of the Qerroo movement, Oromo Liberation Front, Oromo Liberation Army, and on members of his own party that dare to sympathize with any of the major questions of the Oromo people. Over the past three years, tens of thousands of political prisoners are being kept in various prisons, concentration camps, and makeshift prisons in Oromia alone. Together with the OLF leadership these tens of thousands of political prisoners remain in jail.
Impeding humanitarian access and obstructing aid from reaching the public in need of assistance directly stems from the policy that the regime follows regarding populations/regions where opposition forces enjoy greater support. It’s a regime policy to punish the people where it believes political forces such as the Oromo Liberation Front-Oromo Liberation Army (OLF-OLA) or TPLF enjoy bigger public support. Until recently, the regime was never enigmatic about its intentions to punish the people based on where their political allegiance lies. A member of the senior leadership of the Prosperity Party (PP) is on record for publicly stating that “when catching the fish remains elusive, you drain the ocean” referring to his party’s strategy of punishing the Oromo people in pursuit of the Oromo Liberation Army. It is, therefore, not surprising that the regime is still blocking close to 90% of the aid that should have been delivered to needed areas.
5. Repealing the proclamation that designates OLA and TPLF as terrorist organizations
We should all recall that, in May 2021, PM Abiy hastily moved a bill through parliament to designate TPLF and OLA as terrorist organizations precisely to avoid the international pressure to bring about an end to the Ethiopian civil war through national dialogue. Today, eight months into the enactment of the bill and despite the talk of national dialogue to mislead the international community, demonizing rhetoric still reigns supreme across the regime’s media platforms when it comes to the Oromo Liberation Army and Tigray forces.
6. An all-inclusive process that leads to the establishment of an independent Commission
Recently, the regime concocted a process in which it solely controls the establishment of an ‘independent’ national commission that would oversee the processes of the national dialogue. It used a parliament that came to be through a fraudulent election by expunging all formidable opponents and constituted by the ruling PP and its allies, to pass a bill that creates a commission that answers to the same body. None of the warring parties, not even opposition parties that were pushed out of the electoral process, had a say on this bill that established a commission to supervise the ‘national dialogue.’
It is, therefore, a foregone conclusion that all major confidence-building measures and preconditions that are necessary for a genuine national dialogue that could sustainably ease the political problems of the country, and ensure peace and security in the region are far from being met. Neither was there an intention to meet these necessary confidence-building measures in the first place. What is PM Abiy’s national dialogue actually about then? PM Abiy’s national dialogue is all about accomplishing the following main objectives: At home:
1. Unify of his own political camp: the internal differences among those nostalgic of centralized Imperial Ethiopia. There are conspicuous cleavages within the coalition that the PM cobbled together to prosecute the civil war. The premier appears to have lost firm control over the Amhara expansionists whose forces are being independently trained by the Eritrean regime. There are also antagonisms between the Oromia and Amhara wings of the PP. The ‘national dialogue’ is meant to ease this infighting.
2. Coopt some Oromo actors for the purpose of the national dialogue, if possible, and create fresh discord among Oromo forces. The regime has long been in the business of sowing discord among Oromo nationalists and people with any relatable sympathy for the questions of the broader Oromo public, simple questions like the right to internal self-autonomy and self-administration and devolution of power to regional states. By releasing only political prisoners that it considers as moderate, and decorating the national dialogue with their participation, the regime hopes to create fresh discord between Oromo forces who are part of the dialogue and those who would remain outside.
3. Perhaps also, make a bogus public call to the United Front to take part in the dialogue. The regime might make a public call for members of the United Front of the Ethiopian Federalist and Confederalist Forces (UFEFCF) to partake in the ‘national dialogue.’ By making a public call to the United Front (UFEFCF), which includes the OLA and TPLF, on terms which the regime knows we’ll refuse because none of the confidence-building measures have been properly addressed, the regime hopes to get us castigated and branded as parties who refused to give peace a chance. Internationally:
4. Securing access to funds from the Bretton Woods: International financial institutions, the US, and the other Western States. The penultimate purpose of the ‘national dialogue is to get access to foreign currency, after an ostensible ‘attempt’ at peace. China, Turkey, and UAE might have helped the regime in providing cheaper arms deals and temporary handouts. The regime, however, recognizes that the structural problems that currently bedevil the Ethiopian economy cannot be addressed without western intervention.
5. Use Western money to rehabilitate the economy to finance the war, and to buy more weapons, and technology to fuel the war. The ultimate purpose of the ‘national dialogue is to recover the economy to be able to finance the civil war, and at this point, the recovery of the economy is needed, primarily to finance the civil war. Western money will also be used to buy more gadgets to ease Abiy’s genocidal adventures throughout the country, in particular, in Oromia, Tigray, Benishangul Gumuz, and parts of Amhara against, inter alia, the Agew and Kemant peoples.
We, therefore, remind the international community that, when all is said and done, the net effect of the current national dialogue will be prolonging the Ethiopian civil war, not ending it. We further advise all stakeholders, national and international, not to cooperate with a ‘national dialogue’ that we can tell from the outset is meant to prolong the Ethiopian civil war than end it.
