OROMO LIBERATION FRONT
Provisional Committee
Statement on TPLF’s Peace Gimmick
After 17 years of back and forth peace initiatives which have resulted in nothing, the OLF is convinced the TPLF minority dictatorship cunningly uses “peace overtures” of one kind or another, not to genuinely resolve the Oromo question peacefully but rather to distract our aggrieved population and sow discord among the Oromo liberation camp, thereby buying precious time to overcome mounting political challenges.
The OLF Provisional Committee takes this opportunity to make a complete departure from this dubious past culture of deception and fruitless exercise and rather focus on the fundamental task of transforming the Oromo struggle by building the necessary organizational strength with which to meet the aspirations of our people and end their age-old misery.
At this juncture we would remind our people not to be deceived and confused by fake, empty and fruitless projects seemingly undertaken in the name of peace when it is abundantly clear that the
TPLF is the sole perpetrator of conflicts and destabilizations at home and abroad. The TPLF is not a force for peace. The regime has chosen the course of force and massacre. In this public gimmick, what the TPLF minority regime and the so-called elders are demanding for is to submit and surrender. We shall not submit and surrender but rather we will fight back by all means within our power in defense of our people and our freedom.
Victory to the Oromo People!!
