Kumsa Diribsa (Marroo)’s interview with Riyoot Media. Here are some important points that he made in the interview ;
1. He indicated that there is a moral failure in the ruling regime’s leadership, which may be making the regime to use civilian deaths for political tool and war policy.
2. He was manifestly and unequivocally clear that Civilian deaths in the country must stop; and an independent investigation (fact finding) should be dispatched to the conflict zones of oromia. He says “our door is open for anyone who would want to establish the truth with a sufficient evidence.”
3. He also indicated that former soldiers from the OLA who were genuinely disarmed in 2018 by Oromia technical committee of 71 members (the soldiers who agreed to be disarmed were close to 1,000 in number according to him) are now retrained by Abiy Ahmed’s regime and dispatched back to Oromoo zones with the intent and plan to carry out operations that, according to him “frame up or blame civilian deaths on the OLA.”
- this event from 2018 warrants further research in order to learn the dynamic between local and international standard of disarming and reintegration. We need to set the record of 2018 straight for future conflict resolution efforts. What went wrong in 2018? Why did peace effort fail in 2018? Needs an in-depth research exercise.
4. He also indicated there is a heavy presence in Ethiopia of soldiers and intelligence forces belonging Isayas Afeworki of Eritrea.
