Ethiopia: The Oromo Liberation Army

Ethiopia Insight posted on 3 August 2020 a commentary titled "Guji Oromo Need Freedom from Liberators" by Nagessa Dube, lawyer in Minneapolis who recently visited Ethiopia. 

The author reported that the Oromo Liberation Army, a splinter group of the Oromo Liberation Front, which operates legally in Ethiopia, has killed more than 700 civilians since April 2018.  He concluded that some of the Ethiopian public still believes armed insurrection is the right way to struggle against oppression.

Ethiopia: Whither the Oromo Liberation Front?

Ethiopia Insight posted on 19 January 2019 a commentary titled "The OLF Is Dead, But Its Oromo Struggle Lives" by Abdurazak Kedir Abdu, US-based human rights specialist.

The author concludes that while the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) has disintegrated, what it stands for still captures the essence of the Oromo struggle, and this contradiction is convulsing Oromo politics.
