Addis Ababa (Ethiopia Today), April 23, 2023: Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said that his government would begin negotiations with the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA) in Tanzania on Tuesday.
The PM disclosed this in a ceremony held today in Freindship Square to recognize stakeholders who played roles in ending the northern Ethiopia conflict: Uhuru Kenyata and Olisengo Obasango, among others.
This is the first time the Ethiopian government has formally said it would negotiate with the OLA, which has been battling the government off and on for decades.
“A negotiation with Shene will start the day after tomorrow in Tanzania,” Abiy said on Sunday, using another name for the OLA.
