(OLF News, May 31, 2009) OLF News Correspondent reported from Finfinnee (Addis Ababa) that once again Wayyaanee orchestrated a conflict between Oromos and other ethno-national groups, this time between Oromos and Sidamas in the north eastern side of Awasaa town at a place known as Shelloo in which altogether 100 people have been killed from both sides several others have been wounded. It is to be recalled that OLF News has warned on May 20, 2009 that another Wayyaanee invented conflict is in the making between Sidamas and Oromos. OLF News warning has now become true.

The Oromo Liberation Front (OLF), and the Sidama Liberation Front (SLF) and elders of both Oromos and Sidamas warned that the Oromo and Sidama population should not get into the trap of Wayyaanee-TPLF regime and should resolve their minor differences by negotiations and focus on their common enemy, which is the TPLF racist and fascist regime.

On several occasions over the last 18 or so years during the current administration different clans of the same Oromo communities such as Borana and Gabra, Borana and Guji, Borana and Gari have fought deadly, due to conflicts cooked by the TPLF regime, in which several people died from both and sides property has been destroyed in a massive scale. Moreover, there have been repeated incidents of conflict between Oromos and other people neighboring Oromia such as the Oromo and Somali, Oromo and Sidama, Oromo and Afar, Oromo and Harari, Oromo and Amhara, Oromo and Benishangul, Oromo and Gumuz, last week alone two rounds of conflict between Afar and Oromo, and this time another round of conflict between Oromos and Sidamas.
