Oromo regional state also claims that it has seized unspecified number of firearmsborkenaJanuary 11, 2021Ethiopia’s state media, EBC, on Monday reported that eight Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) rebels were killed in an operation in west Wollega. Oromo regional state claims that 265 OLF rebels have been killed in the same zone during the past two months. The radical ethnic nationalist party has not released a statement at this writing regarding the regional state claims. On the other hand, Oromo Liberation Front rebels have been carrying out repeated massacres of innocent civilians mostly against ethnic Amhara who have been living in Wollega for ages. Like Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), Oromo Liberation Front political ideology targets ethnic Amhara, using the code name neftegna, as enemies on grounds of claims about alleged injustices during emperor Menelik II time.
