Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and the rebel Oromo Liberation Army (OLA) will begin peace negotiations in Tanzania on Tuesday, the two sides said.
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.
However, OLA objected to being referred to as “Shene”, saying the name misrepresented its “identity and objectives.” In February, the state-appointed human rights commission said at least 50 people were killed in an attack it blamed on the OLA.
