Addis Abeba — Ongoing negotiations between the Ethiopian government and the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA) in Dar es salaam are showing "positive progress" sources close to the mediation team revealed to Addis Standard. Addis Standard reported, last week quoting diplomatic sources, that senior government officials are "expected to join if the talks progress to a signing of an agreement". The "positive outcome" of these meetings helped progress to the talks between senior military officials of the two sides. IGAD hopes that the ongoing talks and mediation efforts result in sustainable solutions, Nuur said. Although both sides acknowledged positive progress, the dialogue ended without an agreement.
