The author argues that there are too many Oromo political factions serving their own interests. They now have a responsibility to work towards reconciliation and not division of the Oromo people.

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.
