Ethiopian Government Lifts Telecom Ban on West Oromia Amid International OutcryBy Staff ReporterApril 1, 2020 (Ezega.com) -- The government of Ethiopia has lifted telephone and internet services ban it imposed on four zones in Wellega in Oromia regional state of western Ethiopia. The president said the regional government has decided to restore the telecom services after the security threats in the four zones were solved. However, deputy chief of staff of the national defense force Berhanu Jula last month admitted that the government intentionally cut the telecom services in a bid to conduct successful operations against the insurgents. The government has accused members of the rebel Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) of killing, kidnapping and harassing innocent people and government officials in Qellem Wellega and surrounding areas in western Ethiopia.
