OLF Denounces the Killings in Western Oromia
\n(OLF Press release – November 3, 2020)<\/p>\n

The OLF has learned from the state media that, on November 1, 2020, several innocent Oromia
\ncitizens were killed in Western Oromia. OLF strongly condemns this and other killings that
\nhave been taking place in different parts of Oromia. We express our condolences to the victims’
\nfamilies, relatives, and friends with deep sadness.<\/p>\n

As usual, the group that called themselves a government had accused the TPLF and the \u201cABOShane\u201d<\/p>\n

group of the current killing in Western Oromia. \u201cABO-Shane\u201d was blamed for this
\nkilling, but we have not come across any political organization or party with the name “ABO
\nShane” or called itself as such. Apparently, “ABO-Shane” is mysterious and neither known to
\nthe Ethiopian people nor the international community.<\/p>\n

OLF would like to call for an independent and transparent investigation into this and other
\nkillings. Also, the outcome of this independent investigation must be communicated
\ntransparently to the victims’ families, the Ethiopian people, and the international communities.
\nThe victims’ families deserve justice and appropriate compensation for their losses. OLF calls
\nupon everybody, including the Prosperity Party-affiliated media, to refrain from spreading
\nunfounded propaganda that creates mistrust among groups or nations that potentially lead to a
\nwider conflict.<\/p>\n

Unless the country’s current violence and lack of peace and stability, particularly in Oromia, is
\ngiven due attention and sought a lasting solution, the current situation will worsen. In fact, OLF
\nwarned about this unrest a while back and its consequences if remain un tackled. However, our
\ncalls have fallen on deaf ears, and the current crisis is the direct result of the responsible body’s
\ninaction. OLF firmly believes establishing the Oromia National Transitional Government is the
\nonly way to restore Oromia’s peace and stability and get out of this mess. Therefore, we call
\nupon all Oromia citizens and other stakeholders to execute their responsibilities and work
\ntoward realizing the Oromia National Transitional Government.<\/p>\n

Once again, OLF strongly denounces the killings of innocent citizens in Western Oromia, in
\nother places and generally war mongering situation. OLF also wishes comfort, strength, and
\npeace for the victims\u2019 families.<\/p>\n

Victory to the masses
