Resolution of the OLF National Council Extraordinary Meeting

Resolution of the OLF National Council Extraordinary Meeting


ADDA BILISUMMAA OROMOO
OROMO LIBERATION FRONT


The Oromo Liberation Front National Council has successfully completed its extraordinary meeting that was held from October 2-5, 2008. The extraordinary meeting was called to address heightened repression against the Oromo people perpetrated by the TPLF/EPRDF (Woyane) minority regime, issues regarding a minority splinter group that recently separated itself from the organization and other timely issues. The Council concluded by reaching unanimous decision on all the agenda items and giving policy guidelines for the executive committee.

After the thorough discussion the council confirmed that the Woyane regime heightened its repression against the Oromo people by aggressively depriving them of their natural human, political and economic rights using every possible means, including famine. On the other hand, the council noted that, the challenges facing the regime in Oromia, Ogadenia, other parts of Ethiopia and Somalia is deepening and that the regime is more fragile than ever. Therefore, the Council instructed the Executive Committee to prepare appropriate plans to act on this situation.

The Council is also deeply saddened by the acts of a minority splinter group who, at this critical time, failed to resolve all issues through constitutional means by upholding the OLF constitution. The Council concluded that the action of the splinter group was an attempt to usurp the leadership of the OLF by unconstitutional means. The Council also noted that the action of this group did not constitutionally or by any means affect the legitimacy of the National Council or its Executive Committee.

The National Council is cognizant that maintaining organizational unity as well as strengthening the unity of the Oromo nation is vital for the success of the strug¬gle for national liberation. Hence any move that could undermine the organizational capacity and create favorable condition only for the TPLF-led Ethiopian government, an archenemy of the Oromo people's struggle for national liberation, must be condemned.

The Council realized that the TPLF regime is tirelessly exploiting any condition created by human or nature. It is working hard to divide the Oromo people along regional, religious and other possible lines. The National Council warns our members, supporters, and Oromo people at large not to be misled by destructive propaganda from any corner that distracts our focus on the struggle against tyrannical regime of TPLF. Therefore, the Council calls upon the OLF members, Supporters and the Oromo people to stand in unison and enhance the struggle against the EPRDF regime than ever before.

The OLF National Council is mindful that Oromia and the right of Oromo people is a common good to all independent Oromo political organizations. The Council calls upon all independent Oromo political organizations to stand up against all actions that undermine the Oromo national interest and aspiration for national liberation. We also call upon independent Oromo national liberation organizations to leave aside our minor differences and jointly safeguard the unity of Oromo people and the cause of national liberation.

The national council would like to assure the Oromo people, friends of the Oromo Liberation struggle and our partners in the struggle against the TPLF tyrannical regime that the OLF and the Oromo people will not be weakened by enemy machinations. It also affirms that legitimate leadership is intact and united more than any time and we are working on accelerating our march towards achieving our goal in the shortest time.
