Foreign Policy posted on 25 January 2022 a commentary titled "How Abiy Ahmed Betrayed Oromia and Endangered Ethiopia" by Milkessa M. Gemechu, Albion College and a former official in Oromia.
The author argues that Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has sought to crush the nationalist movement in Oromia and, as a result, lost much Oromo support. The international community has only focused on the situation in northern Ethiopia between Tigray and the central government. Any agreement between Abiy and the TPLF-led government in Tigray region will fail to achieve peace in Ethiopia unless it takes into account the concerns of Oromia and the southern regions.
