In-depth Analysis: Why resolving war in #Oromia through peace talks is long overdue   https://t.co/wktDpivylc

#Ethiopia: The war in Oromia, which involves the Oromo Liberation Army (#OLA) on the one hand and the federal and Oromia regional governments' security forces on the other, has been ongoing for five years mainly within the Oromia region but affecting neighboring #BenishangulGumuz, #Gambella & #Amhara regions at different times.

Addis Standard's @ABiyenssa takes a deep dive into what's at stake - from massacres, to communities torn apart, from an economy under duress, to endless destruction of civilian infrastructure, including education, health, transport & manufacturing in the region.

He spoke with multiple stakeholders & argued why ending the war in #Oromia through peace talks is long overdue.

A must read.

A surge in ethnic pride among Ethiopia's Oromo community, the country's largest ethnic group, is leading some, like Moti Begi, to change their names.
