Much-awaited talks between the Ethiopian government and the Oromo Liberation Front (OLA) rebel group have resumed in Tanzania, diplomatic sources have told BBC Afaan Oromoo. Significantly, OLA commander Kumsa Diriba has joined Ethiopian government and military officials in the talks for the time, the sources added. A previous round of talks between the OLA and the government ended without agreement, and fighting continued. Both the Ethiopian military and the OLA - which advocates "self-determination" for the vast Oromia region - have long been accused of gross human rights violations, which they always deny. Human rights groups say the conflict in Oromia is ‘’hidden’’ from the international community, and urge the international community to step in to help end what they call Ethiopia's "forgotten’’ conflict.

Ethiopian Electric Power (EEP) announced that the country has generated 404 megawatts of electricity from wind power. EEP Corporate Communications Director Moges Mekonen told the Ethiopian Press Agency (EPA) that the country has reached the total production of 404 MW electric power from Wind power. He noted that many citizens are getting electricity from the wind power plants that have been built so far. Accordingly, the combined generating capacity of Ashegoda, Adama I and II, and Aysha II wind power plants has reached 404 megawatts, he added. Wind power is more reliable and cost-effective than hydro-power generation since the water level of dams decreases during dry seasons, he noted.

Although both sides acknowledged “positive progress” in the first round of talks they held in late April and early May in Zanzibar, the week-long dialogue concluded without a deal. The security forces’ arguably heavy-handed handling of the conflict has undeniably fueled a sense of animosity towards the federal and Oromia governments among a substantial section of the Oromo people. However, the failure of the strategy they have pursued thus far calls for a pivot towards the settlement of political differences through negotiation and dialogue. The restart of talks between the federal government and OLF-OLA hopefully marks a return of both to their senses. Dialogue is not something that either side embraces when they feel they have no other option; it’s a choice they need to make their first and only choice.
