Ethiopia: Power Politics in Oromia

Ethiopia Insight posted on 30 October 2018 an analysis titled "Rallies Held in Oromia Over Threat To Disarm OLF" by Ermias Tasfaye.

Oromo Liberation Army, the armed wing of the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF), commanders claim they were not informed by OLF leaders that there had been an agreement to demobilize following their move from Eritrea to Ethiopia. This has led to the threat of forcible disarming by the Ethiopian National Defense Force. At least three different political parties are now competing for support among Oromos, Ethiopia's most populous ethnic group.
