Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) says it will help the Ethiopian government “fight lawlessness and anarchy”, according to a report published today by government-affiliated media Fana Broadcasting Corporation.
The party’s spokesperson, Tolera Adeba, is cited as saying that his party will work to stop illegal actions perpetrated in the name of his party. OLF is not interested in creating insecurity and risking peace but in liberating people and bring about peace and democracy, the spokesperson added according to the source.
OLF signed a peace accord with representatives of the government of Ethiopia, which was led by foreign minister Workneh Gebeyehu, in Eritrea some two weeks ago. As per the agreement, OLF is to pursue its political goal through peaceful means.
Meanwhile, the regional government in Oromo region of Ethiopia disclosed today that it has arrested groups engaged in criminal activity in the region in the name of Qeerroo, an armed youth group that relentlessly resisted the TPLF Junta.
