Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said his government will begin negotiations with rebel group the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA) in Tanzania on Tuesday.
This is the first time the Ethiopian government has formally said it would negotiate with the OLA, which has been battling the government on and off for decades.
The group’s grievances are rooted in alleged marginalisation Of the Oromo people and neglect by the federal government. The OLA and the federal government blame each other for a number of attacks in Ethiopia’s Oromiya region, the country’s most populous, in which scores of civilians have been killed. In February, the state-appointed human rights commission said at least 50 people were killed in an attack it blamed on the OLA.
