Thread by @1ethiopia_

4 years ago Right after OPDO (the current Prosperity party) and OLA made an agreement in Asmara, OLA was quickly demanded to be disarmed. Due to this effort, there were several battles between Prosperity party and OLA. After some back and forth, the two parties came to a truce

The agreement they came in to after this truce was not made public. However, there are several things Ethiopians should be worried about.
1. Who did the PP represent while fighting with OLA (the people in the area)? Do they think they were fighting Ethiopia or a political party?

2. What arrangements did they agree on?
3. Why is the OLA more armed than it was when it came in? And is its capacity of military clearly known?
4. What about its capacity of political leadership? Is it clearly known?
5. OLA & OLA have clear alliance what values do they share?

6. OLA/OLF have multiple version manifestos which one is their most up to date manifesto?
7. How is their alliance with TPLF? Is it clear? What about PP? they now have came to an agreement.
8. Can they define their campaign about #WBO is that to be settled with PP or other party?

I will share all my sources below.
