The
irresponsible and egotistic actions of the TPLF regime, as we warned before,
is leading the country into more chaos and turbulence. Actions are being
taken by the people, in retaliation to what the TPLF is doing to the peoples
of the country. Accordingly, a cargo train transporting military supplies
from Djibouti to Finfinnee (Addis Ababa) was blown up in the midnight of
May 27, 2000. This incident has happened on the railway line about 10 kms
from Dirre Dawa town towards Finfinnee. The mine put out of use the engine
of the train and the materials being transported were completely destroyed.
The train was targeted selectively to hit at the military effort of the TPLF
regime.
The
TPLF regime, which is irresponsible and does not have any concern for famine
affected peoples, has been transporting war materials from Djibouti while
relief food meant to save the lives of millions of peoples is left at the
port to rot. On the other hand, the TPLF regime is using Oromo Youth,
conscripted to its army as mine sweepers and cannon fodders in the war
with Eritrea. These are clear manifestations of TPLF’s policy of genocide
against the Oromo people.
The
OLF has suggested several alternatives to solve the political conflicts in
the empire state of Ethiopia. These attempts and good will by the OLF were
all turned down by the TPLF. Therefore the OLF and peoples in Ethiopia have
the legitimate right to continue their struggle in all forms and means. The
recent actions being taken by the people and the armed struggle being waged
by different liberation fronts will have severe human and material
consequences. It is TPLF’s regime which is solely responsible for all
these unwanted and undesirable consequences.
Victory
to the Oromo People!
