Alliance of terror groups TPLF + Shene - THREAD

The declared alliance between Shene/OLA &TPLF is not new nor surprising to the GoE. While the timing of the public declaration needs examining, GoE has been indicating for well over 2 yrs now that TPLF have been using Shene as errand runners for their destructive mission. (1/8)

3 months ago, in accordance with Articles 18 and 19 of Proclamation No. 1176/2020 on the Prevention and Suppression of Terrorism Crimes, both organizations were designated terrorist organizations. (2/8)

In yesterday’s (Aug 11) public declaration of this unusual marriage, both organizations publicly acknowledged they are leading destructive activities against the stability of the nation and that terrorism is a general feature of both. (3/8)

The government has been saying it for a while now but international media seems to only believe it rather when terrorist organizations tell them. So now they have told the entire world. (4/8)

Important to point out in this regard is no [terrorist] entity can claim to be for the people of Oromia while it kills the people of the region for its political gains and (5/8)

no [terrorist] entity can claim to be for the people of Tigray while it kills its own people and holds them hostage for its political gains. (6/8)

Let us not forget that TPLF tortured, killed, displaced and disappeared many Oromo youth accusing them of being part of the Oromo Liberation Front before Shene splintered. (7/8)

Particularly with Shene’s declaration, we have no doubt that mature voices and early founders of the Oromo Liberation Front will denounce this destructive alliance. (8/8)
