Armed Groups Align Across Ethiopia as OLA Tells Fano: Distance Yourself From Wollega Faction

The Oromo Liberation Army (OLA) has publicly distanced itself from an armed group operating in Wollega under the name Fano. In the same statement, the OLA said a broader alignment among Ethiopian opposition forces is "taking shape" across the country. The OLA called on Fano to distance itself from the Wollega faction. It did not explain the reasons for the demand. The statement points to rising coordination between armed groups in different regions of Ethiopia. Both the OLA's position and Fano's response matter for how this alignment develops.
