OromoLiberationFront.org - May 13, 2008
It is clear that Ethiopia shares border with all Horn of African countries. This places Ethiopia at the centre of the security complex of Horn of Africa. This opportunity gave Ethiopian government to play a double standard by imposing its interest on neighbouring countries. The Ethio-Eritrean war, the frequent incursion of Ethiopian army into Kenya and the full occupation of Somalia, alignment and misalignment of Ethiopian and Sudan governments - all these cannot be solved without probing into the underlying causes of the problem. The problem is as Ethiopia is the core of the Horn; Oromo is demographically, geographically and economically the core of Ethiopian Empire. It needs no prove that the unsolved problem of Oromo quest incurred always instability in the Horn. Since there is no peace in Ethiopia, Ethiopia looks for proxy war to suppress its domestic problem. In the last thirteen years TPLF/EPRDF has been tactically engaged in instigation of ethnic discord. To this effect, it apportions part of nation's territory to the other, and then instigates territorial claims, which it inflames into armed conflict. We call up on our people to be aware of "divide and rule" colonial principle.
We call up on all walks of Oromo individuals to stand together to overcome these crucial factors and co-ordinate every effort that will hasten the fall of Ethiopian regime. Read More.
