OLF Criticizes Federal Troop Deployment in Western OromiaDecember 16, 2018 (Ezega.com) - The Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) said to be unhappy because the central government deployed federal tropps without informing the front. According to the Ethiopian Reporter, the OLF fully expected to be consulted when such matters take place, so there is no conflict between its forces and the federal government forces. It is unclear how and why the OLF has managed to stay armed and then complain against federal government troop movements. Shortly thereafter, Ethiopian federal government officials criticized the statement and warned the OLF that this will not stand and they will force it to disarm if necessary. Included in the forum were all the main Oromia-based organizations, including the Oromo Democratic Party (ODP), Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) and Oromo Federalist Congress (OFC).
