Ethiopia’s intermittent and sporadic civil wars include the current offensive in Oromia, Tigray, Agaw, Benshangul and Gumuz, Somali Region, Afar, Amhara, Kemant, and previous such encounters in Sidama, Wolayta, Konso, and elsewhere emanate from the fundamental ideological differences in Ethiopia. Abiy Ahmed and the Amhara ethno-nationalists are hell-bent on resuscitating a highly centralized, oppressive system known by the mass for enslaving and dehumanizing the nations and nationalities, hence our objection to the return of such oppressive systems.
Therefore, the United Front requests the unconditional cooperation and support of nations and nationalities in Ethiopia who believe in equality, peace, justice, and fraternal coexistence in federated and confederated Ethiopia. Stand with us as we lead the united fight to bring about a lasting solution to Ethiopia’s ongoing tragic political, socio-cultural, and economic difficulties.
We also strongly suggest the international community put their utmost and most realistic pressure on the Ethiopian regime to:
1. Stop the mass killing of Oromo civilians for their thoughts and for supporting the ideals the OLA represents and fights for;
2. Stop pitting one nation against another by deploying militia, security, and Special Forces of all neighboring regions into Oromia;
3. End the war raging in Ethiopia from corner to corner as the ideological and political differences can never be resolved by military means;
4. Unconditionally remove all intelligence and armed forces of the Eritrean national army from Oromia and all of Ethiopia;
5. Allow unfettered humanitarian access to Oromia, Somali, Tigray, Agaw, Kemant, Benishangul-Gumuz, Amhara, and Afar, and all areas affected, to reach the people affected by both war and drought;
6. Allow unfettered access to humanitarian support and end the siege on the Tigray state, whose civilians are left to die painfully denied access to food, medicine, telecommunication, banking, and various necessities;
7. Unconditionally agree to work toward a formation of an independent platform for peace and genuine all-inclusive political dialogue;
