Last Update:
implications of participating in initiatives that are started, funded, and controlled
by the regime. While we acknowledge the cautious approach demonstrated, in
particular, by the OFC leadership, we urge an even greater level of vigilance to
avoid becoming instruments of the regime. Merely asserting, "we talk while we
fight" is inadequate when such dialogue serves to revive the regime that is killing
our people without delivering tangible benefits to our people's cause.
It is imperative to critically assess whether continued engagement with the regime
serves the broader struggle or undermines it. Thus far, all evidence suggests that
it undermines more than it benefits. At this juncture, the opposition should insist
that the regime commit to foundational change and engage in meaningful
negotiations with the OLA. While we are aware that the regime is unlikely to
comply, taking this stance ensures that the opposition fulfills its obligation to steer
the process in the right direction.
Our people must remain vigilant. This is not the first time such tactics have been
employed. Abiy Ahmed has orchestrated numerous false-flag political operations
in the past. Every development in Finfinnee is meticulously controlled by the
regime. There is no justification for euphoria.
2. Exploiting Contentious Issues to Prevent Alliance Against its Rule
Even before the opposition conference, the regime had already begun stoking
tensions around contentious border issues such as Dire Dawa, Madda Wolabu, and
Moyale. Now, it is exploiting the opposition conference to amplify these divisions.
The regime's strategy is to introduce divisive topics, such as the borders of Oromia
and the status of Finfinnee, to sow discord among the people of the country. By
doing so, it aims to prevent the formation of alliances between the Oromo
opposition and other communities against its rule.
While the Oromo people have legitimate concerns regarding these territories,
these issues must ultimately be resolved through inclusive negotiations with all
relevant stakeholders. At present, however, the priority must be to dismantle the
regime that inflicts daily violence upon our people. To all communities across the
country, we urge you not to be distracted by Abiy Ahmed's attempts to inflame
tensions. These issues will be addressed through dialogue in due time. For now,
our collective focus must remain on building a united front against the regime that
oppresses us all.
3. Creating Divisions Among the Oromo Opposition
One of Abiy Ahmed's primary objectives is to sow animosity among opposition
groups in Oromia. He understands that our collective resolve represents the final
blow to his faltering rule in the region. We must not afford him this opportunity.
While it is important to address realities as they unfold, we must also remain
strategically united for the sake of our people. Unity is our greatest strength in the
face of a regime that seeks to divide and conquer.
Finally, the international community must also remain vigilant regarding these
developments. This initiative in Oromia is merely another chess piece in Abiy
Ahmed's cruel game to perpetuate his reign of oppression. By sowing discord and
weakening a united opposition, he aims to prolong his faltering rule. The world
must recognize this plot and refrain from lending legitimacy to actions that
undermine the collective struggle for justice and freedom.
