This is from the CIA records Document Number CIA-RDP79-00927A011300220001-4
Take away: It is clear that Mengistu had broken the yoke that bore heavy on the Oromo people. Which brings us to the most critical question: Given that their base accusation is thoroughly false and quite simply propaganda, whose interest is OLF truly serving?
