Good job OLF, All weyanes and Banda must kill and free Ethiopian People.
That is great ! Add more attack over the stupid woyanne,
good work kill weyanes every where keep it up OLF
I think OLF try to ger attention from the diaspora, as i know OLF has been in war since early in 1970’s , and they never showed thier capacity by liberating any cities and towns. Believe me don’t trust them.It’s fat lie.
The tigrian regime came by gun and the only language that they can understand is a bulet,let we destroy them together
People like Elias want to use our Oromian blood to get power back to power in Ethiopia.Hmmmmmm,,,you have fooled us for centuries,,,the sad thing is they still think we Oromos are sub-humans. They don’t have the confidence to face the Woyane in the eye,,now they all of the sudden became ower beloved freinds,,,what a joke!

I believe those who were killed were also Oromos. Oromos killings Oromos.
let me advise u all my friends. never anticipate peace & democracy from a government who came to power from jungle. i’m not saying eprdf has to stay on power but do’t obsess our self.
