The Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) is reporting that members of its military wing, the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA), have killed 6 and wounded 9 Woyannes on January 21 in Hararge Zone, eastern Ethiopia.

The attack was carried out at two different locations on the same day. The first attack was carried out by OLF fighters against Woyanne troops who were dispatched to harass civilians in West Haragee Zone, Daaroo Labuu Woreda at a place called Burqituu. In a surprise attack, OLF fighters killed 3 Woyannes and wounded 5.

On the same day, the OLF fighters engaged Woyanne forces in West Haragee Zone at a place called Fullaa Gaangee, killing 3 Woyannes and wounding 5 others.

OLF fighters have also captured several automatic rifles, hand grenades, and other military equipments from Woyanne forces.

    Woyane is encircled on four directions,Namely; in Western,Eastern,Northern,and southern fronts.
    Woyane army is psychologically weakend and lacks efficient military leadership.
    The high level military personnel are engaged in lucrative business and corruption.
    They are not capable of defeating a small unit of freedom fighters.
    As of Election 2010, the will suffer a great loss worse than 2005.
    Some say the election is over. They gave him a free ride without contesting and without peoples cnoice.
    This is a dangerous attitude to give up hope and bow down prior to voting.

    Killing 3 or 5 soldiers is meaningless. Weyane has 200,000 soldiers and more reserve force. There is also what we call Local Militia force and Rapid deployment force/Fetno Dearsh/. So, it’s not easy to challenge weyane militarily. I am sorry. let’s Try other means.

    The only good Weyane is a dead one. Kill’m all. I am saying this, not becuase I like to see anybody killed. But, the Weyanes have abused our people for way too long and our people are begging us to come to their rescue. Support your EPPF, TPDM, OLF and others.

    There is no other option for OLF other than using force to bring absolut peace for the entire Oromo and Ethiopian people. Woyane leaders never believe in peacefull engagement to resolve the cronich political problem in Ethiopia. The Oromo people and its liberation army must use the available option to speak to woyane. Fight, kill and force them out of power. This the language they know. OLA is doing that job. Go OLA.I am with you.
