Woyanne issues press release on recent changes in OLF

EDITOR’S NOTE: A joke to start the week with.

Press Release: Ministry of Information

Political objective and leadership devoid of public support shall never be victorious

Various international sources including the leadership of the self-proclaimed Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) are expressing that the leadership of the anti-peace and terrorist group has crumbled due to internal differences. It is obvious that the group would sooner or later suffer such catastrophe for its anti-people and anti-democratic policies and objectives.

In view of the destructive activities the OLF is bent on, its objectives and organization, the front can never appeal any public support. Moreover, the inhumane killings and terrifying crimes the group is committing against the very people it claims to struggle for, clearly show its anti-people stance. Apart from joining international terrorist groups and benefiting from their all rounded support, OLF has been disrupting peace and stability in Ethiopia and the Horn of Africa, at various times.

The front has been persistently attempting to take direct military actions against Ethiopia. However, with the concerted efforts and the coordinated struggle of the public and the defense forces, the anti-people position of the front has remained naked since its inception. Through organizing and coordinating its infamous agents, the front has caused the death and ruthless injury to innocent civilians in its grenade attacks throughout Addis Ababa and some towns and cities in the regional states. Most of these anti-peace elements were destroyed and many others put under legal custody by the close collaboration of the public and the Ethiopian security forces.

OLF is an anti-people and anti-democratic group, which isolated itself from the public, refused and left its involvement in the peaceful and democratic political arena and set out against national and public interest.

Because of its anti-peace, anti-people and anti-democratic position as well as its persistent political failure, the leadership has been suffering internal and external divisions and conflicts. The selfish OLF leaders have no sense of responsibility in using the innocent members of the front for their own cynical motives. The whole leadership and a few of its supporters are political gamblers who live peaceful and luxurious lives abroad, running businesses in the name of the people.

Senior OLF leaderships who are running their business and making efforts for political asylum in the name of political struggle, have now encountered the crises of internal split. In this regard, even ordinary members of the group have condemned the leadership and are leaving the front. This clearly shows that OLF is totally lacking mass base.

The front has lost the trust of most of its members for exposing them to lots of trouble, and for committing inhuman crimes against them by deceiving, kidnapping and forcing them to leave their country. Various bodies including its own senior leaders are now publicizing these inhuman acts.

The division among the senior leadership of the front demonstrates OLF’s anti-democratic and anti-people nature. It is on this ground that the public as well as the peace-loving international community have been condemning its evil agenda.

The Oromo Liberation Front (OLF), which once walked away from the peaceful and democratic opportunities to join terrorist groups, can never attain its objectives. However, the struggle of democratic forces will always triumph.

  1. We did not expect a condolence letter from Woyane for what has happen in our organization. We also know that it is woyane’s massive investment to some HODAM oromos which cause the resent unrest in our leaders. We also know that we come out of this problem in victory by cleansing ourselves from double agents. It is obvious that any straggle has its up and downs and we will actually benefit from this one and soon be victorious.

    Victory to Oromo People.

  2. Elias, I think the news was supposed to be the other way around. If you read it now it would make an entire sense..

    The front has been persistently taking direct military actions against Ethiopia and Somalia. However, with the concerted efforts and the coordinated struggle of the public and the opposition parties’ forces, the anti-people position of the front will be remained naked soon. Through organizing and coordinating its infamous agents, the front has caused the death and ruthless injury to innocent civilians in its grenade attacks throughout Addis Ababa and some towns and cities in the regional states and all over Ethiopia. Most of these anti-peace elements were destroyed and many others members of these party are still damaging the nation by engraining themselves in killing Ethiopians every day.
    OLF TPLF is an anti-people and anti-democratic group, which isolated itself from the public, refused and left its involvement in the peaceful and democratic political arena and set out against national and public interest.
    Because of its anti-peace, anti-people and anti-democratic position as well as its persistent political failure, the leadership has been suffering internal and external divisions and conflicts. The selfish OLF TPLF leaders have no sense of responsibility in using the innocent members of the front for their own cynical motives. The whole leadership and a few of its supporters are political gamblers who live peaceful and luxurious lives in Ethiopia, and abroad, running businesses in the name of the people such as Endowment for the Rehabilitation of Tigray(EFFORT) and other small businesses in Ethiopia and abroad.
    Senior OLF TPLF leaderships who are running their business and making efforts for political asylum for some of their members in the name of other political struggle parties such as Kinijit, have now encountered the crises of internal split as they did back in 2001 with Seye Abrha group. In this regard, even ordinary members of the group have condemned the leadership and are leaving the front. This clearly shows that OLF TPLF is totally lacking mass base.
    The criminal party has lost the trust of most of its members for exposing them to lots of trouble, and for committing inhuman crimes against them by deceiving, kidnapping and forcing them to leave their country. Various bodies including its own senior leaders are now publicizing these inhuman acts.
    The division among the senior leadership of the criminal party demonstrates OLF’s TPLF’S anti-democratic and anti-people nature. It is on this ground that the public as well as the peace-loving international community have been condemning its evil agenda.
    The Oromo Tigrian’s People Liberation Front (TPLF) (OLF), which once walked away from the peaceful and democratic opportunities to join terrorist groups, can never attain its objectives after we totally eliminate their criminal agenda from Ethiopia along with the major criminal orchestrators of the members of the TPLF party. However, the struggle of democratic opposition forces will always triumph through Ginbot 7 and other major strong opposition groups.

    Death to weyane members and supporters!!!!

  3. “A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.” Winston Churchill (1872-1965)

    It is interesting to hear a mass murderer genocidal one man dictatorship preaching democracy and pointing fingers at its oponents and people who resist its globally documented genocide.

    It is even more interesting to note as to how rejected dictators LIE BIG and cuuningly try to project their own folly on to others and through that actually tell the world who they themselves are.

    It was Wayane dictatorial government who was publicly and in broad daylight overwhelmingly rejeted by the entire Ethiopian people in the 2005 election, loosing 100% support in Addis Ababa alone.

    There is no more rejection by any historical comparison, past or present any where in the world more than loosing 100% support of the population you claim they love you dearly. The dictators killed, jailed, dehumanized,
    brainwashed, starved, divided, intimidated and robbed the people’s victory and its rightful wishes for democratic changes.

    What is more antidemocratic and anti people anywhere in the world by any definition of the term, if not this Wayane gross human rights violations?

    “We lie loudest when we lie to ourselves.” – Eric Hoffer

    Indeed this is one of the habitual and loudest lies from Wayane lie factory, after it has managed to place its agents here and there to weaken the opposition groups and now attempting to strike them hard with its dirty lie hammer assuming that its targets are now at their weakest and vulnerable.

    How can this cunning foxes who is a sworn enemy of any democratic priciple now turn around and attempt to preach to us about democracy and anti people activities and rejection by the people? What a world gone mad, folks?

    It is a clownish tenth version cheaper case similar to that of Hitler’s articulate propaganda minister Joseph Goebbeles preaching humanity, love and democracy, carrying a small baby in his arms while his master, Adolf Hitler was slaughtering German citizens in slaughter factories just in the back yard and asking his propgabda minister to keep lying BIG.

    “Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it.” Adolf Hitler (1888-1945)

  4. Ayeeee…look at them getting paranoid :-) This press release alone shows you the importance of forming a viable coalition to destroy TPLF and form a pro-people, pro-Ethiopian government!!!

    A nightmare that actually used to make woyanne leaders shit their pants was AFD…it was not formed properly, therefore, it was never fruitful!!

    We need a coalition for Ethiopian justice and democratic movement!! That will be the day we will see Meles crying in parliament cry AGAIN!

  5. The Tigrai/Woyane dictatorship appeared invincible, invulnerable and strong with its military forces, police, execution squads and security and iron grip of Oromia/Ethiopia, while OLF and other democratic forces appear hopelessly weak, disoriented and vulnerable. The Oromo people endured unbearable losses of life and continue to suffer humiliating loss of dignity, human rights and extra judicial detention and killing in the last 17 years in contrast of the thirty years of struggle for independence.The OLF in and out of the country appeared at loss of finding any meaningful means of challenging and confronting the dictatorship. Despite all this Woyane understands the potential of OLF as capable of unfreezing and unleashing the potential of Oromos from all corners of Oromia, young men and women educated and common people alike. This is why Woyane is working hard to spread its OPDO venom among the ranks of OLF

    However history tells us sooner or later OLF and other Oromo democratic forces will unite in identifying the Achilles heel of dictatorships destroying all its layers and armors. Furthermore history reveals, a notion something people waiting for change eagerly do not like to think of, that removing dictatorship and introducing sustainable democratic changes happens slowly and are costly.

    Oromos under the leadership of their vanguard organization will build a democratic republic of Ethiopia on the grave of Woyane and Adwa thugs!!!

  6. Well if OLF is useles with no popular base why labor to write a page full of prpoganda…on the contrary, TPLF is scared by the current crisis witin OLF because sometimes such crisis helps to shape the future directions of teh front…crisis like this will helps to weedout TPLF fifth columnists within the OLF…after all said and done , OLF will come out with clear vision and mandate and that is why the TPLF propoganda machine is trying to stifly that process!!

  7. This Woyanne piece shows how scared they are of the changes that are going within the OLF, otherwise they would have kept quiet, it only show their how fearful they are of the new leadership of the OLF, once the armed movement gets intesified they know their end is near, this actually is good news for OLF and the Ethiopian people because Woyanne’s days are numbered as a result of this ongoing change within the OLF.

  8. hei stupid TPLF! u r the blood sucker beast who s tourturing and killing innocent Oromos!!! if OLF have no public support why r u commiting ur nazist crime on oromo people???? but u know where the truth lies. political difference can happen in any poletical organization actually i dont need to tell u that but unlike u, they didnt killed their fellow friends in cold blood as u did to ur tigrian brothers who stood for the truth!! so this may if can convience ur pumpets not any ethiopian!!!

  9. Weg new alu sidaru malkes. It is funny press release from Woyane. How many time their party was divided into small pieces? We remember their recent division., Siye and Meles group. Eliyas, please tell them to shut the f.. up. The division among Oromos is none of Tigres problem. It concerns on Oromos.

  10. It looks like TPLF is scared to death regarding the current OLF changes within itself. The new OLF leadership can get a wider support among the population not only Oromos, but other major ethnicities. this surely makes life difficult for the minority TPLF rulers. their divid and rule tactic is wearing out

  11. This statement shows how disillusioned and out of touch the dedebit gangs are. They hade learned from their predecessor, the Derg junta that by denying the realty and disseminating false propaganda a criminal group can extend its looting and killing.

    Can any one say that any Ethiopian in its right mind support the TPLF criminals? If you tell the flies and the donkeys that carried the criminals to our country support the gangs, I will reluctantly agree. These bandits will do anything to continue to loot and rape our country. At least, OLF has a popular support.

  12. Indeed it is a joke and of great surprise! !…………

    Let us ask ourselves. For God sake,who is antipeople? anti-peace,ant democracy? who is taking persistent,cruel military actions against the people of Ethiopia? Who is causing ruthless injury great pain and death to innocet civilian all over the country? Who has no sense of responsibility? who for sure is leading luxurious lives at the cost or expense of our people? who in reality is lacking
    mass base? who exactly is committing inhuman crimes of kidnapping imprisoning,torchering,killing and spilling the the blood of our people in great massacre? Let the eighty
    one million people who is suffering under TPLF’s regime
    witness all these…”O,Our God, save us all soon.”

  13. Watch out OLF and the people of Oromia. The woyanee Tigraians have recently doubled their forces to widen the “rift” that they are smelling among the OLF. It is natural in any organization to have a brotherly or sisterly fights and this is the rule of politics but it can be destructive if it runs out of control.
    The Woyanees aim is to push these minor differences out of control and create more OPDO like subordinate groups in thier prime tactic of divide and rule.
    Every Oromian as well as every Ethiopian should work very hard to defend our unified opposition against the minority Weyanee regime.

  14. The savagery being committed against the Oromo people by Meles Zenawi and the Adwa thugs is well documented by local and international human rights watchdogs. It was witnessed among others by the likes of Seye Abraha who spoke the four word phrase “esir betu Oromogna yinageral”. Seye also said “about 99% of the prisoners in Qaliti are Oromos”.

    It is with this backdrop that we have to read Woyane’s “nonsense” for there are no reason to doubt Seye’s assertions and figures. In fact, Dr. Berhanu Nega and many others who have been at the Qaliti prison tell us the same thing. Moreover to his credit even Seye understands that he shares responsibility and has a lot to answer for as a former Woyane leader for the plight of the Oromo people.

    As an Oromo Ethiopian, I hardly find a single Oromo who doesn’t find the press release “insult to injury” by the Woyane criminal organization – euphemistically attempt to patronize Ethiopians about OLF. Note that Aba Dula or Kuma are not Oromos – infact they are Tigres given an Oromo name for carrying out crime against Oromos in Oromia on behalf of Woyane.

    In Woyane’s Ethiopia, if you dissent Woyane rule while an Oromo you will be tagged an OLF. Even some low level security operative or cadre can lock you up and throw the keys away. An entire people that constitute the largest ethnic group in Ethiopia are prisoners in their own country; in a country their fathers have fought and died defending against multiple foreign aggressions, in a country they literally feed. Oromia is the most fertile region that literally feeds the northern half of Ethiopia much of which is arid. It is very ironic that the Oromia region that produces more than 90% of the cash crops, the export earnings, the mineral wealth and electric power of the nation also feeds 99% of the prison population to the jaws of Meles Zenawi’s filthy prisons. It is a breath taking irony.

    As a result of all the crime Woyane committed against Oromos, the press release is a hallucination that follows Woyane’s wish – to the contrary OLF is a vanguard organization of the Oromos, sooner or later, will bring the Adwa thugs and cohorts to justice.

    Long live OLF!

  15. For me it isn’t surprising to hear or to see such a statement from Woyanne’s Ministry of Information, for they are habitual liers.Woyane lives on lies.It is a very weak organization which lacks strong ideology and popular support.For this reason they have to lie.
    The change in the OLF leadership is a welcome development.They have joined the rank of the Ethiopian people.We fully support the new leadership.The anti-people, anti-peace, anti-democracy is Woyane, not the OLF.Our struggle will undoubtedly triumph!Victory to the people of Ethiopia!

  16. If we are talking the same as the past, we do not learn what is going on. If we do not stop hate and division among our self and say we all are Ethiopian, it is no result comes out of it.

    1. The population of Ethiopia is become soon over one hundred millions. The current number must be come down by any means in half or more to utilize the current geography resources. For that matter must need to expand its territory to fulfill its needs.
    2. I see a need of seaport and the so-called country in the north, east and south soon be merged one way or the other. Moreover be part of southeast Sudan and north part of Kenya.
    3. The OLF is its time to close his Asmara office and unite with other pro one Ethiopia movement and renounce his old ego.
    4. To balance the world power in economical and political, Ethiopia is very strategically including its unique pro Christian value.

    The present Asmara government lost its opportunity in the world stage. And no one listen to its cry as we seen it. Do not think Somalia will be a nation soon, instead be a province to the conquered.

    Oromo is Ethiopia and no Ethiopia with out Oromo. I do not see more Ethiopia breaks and lost from the map of the world. I think it is good for the Diaspora as well as for the Ethiopian in side and out side the country to come to gather for a better Ethiopia from putting pressure on the present government to show a better govern or to replace him for the better of the country.

    Cowboy from Dallas. .

  17. We don’t have to surprise why the TPLF is running there and here and cry like a monkey which have saw a leopard walking around proudlly. We know and the TPLF itself knows and sees in mirror that its time is shortening and its fall down is inevitable. The TPLF is a cruel and blood thirsty beast in the Ethiopian history. ETHIOPIANS FROM ALL THE CORNERS,LET US PARADE TOGETHER TO BUILD A UNBREAKABLE IRON MUSCLE TO CRASH THIS HISTORICAL DEVIL. IF WE ARE UNITED, WE ARE UNSHAKEABLE POWER, IF WE REMAIN DIVIDED, OUR BLEEDING WILL CONTINUE FOREVER.

  18. cry meles your time is over !!It is the time to cry for criminals ejolen Oromo ejolen Amara ejolen ethiopia walkabanne dhbaneraa ejake balesuf kanerra !!

    No more compromise,we are ethiopians
