@amnesty & @hrw in 2020 wrote 'mass arrests & extrajudicial killings in #Oromia began long before the Tigray war.' #ICRC must locate & observe Oromo prisoners NOW. Oromo Lives Matter! @reuters @ap @BBCWorld @cnn #OromoVoice #Oromia2022

As a result OLA fighters captured a noteable modern Russian AK-203 assault rifle and two Chinese Type 56-1 & Type 56-2 assault rifles along with mags and ammo.

#Ethiopia 🇪🇹 / #Oromia: #Oromo Liberation Army (#OLA) released another video of the seized mortar bombs from #ENDF in West Wellega.

The video shows boxes of 82mm 40M10 HE mortar bombs, manufactured by #Azerbaijan 🇦🇿 in 2022.
As can be seen, the bombs were packed in late July 2022.

#Ethiopia 🇪🇹 / #Oromia: #Oromo Liberation Army (#OLA) carried out an attack on #ENDF in West Guji; killing several soldiers.

#Ethiopia 🇪🇹/ #Oromia: #Oromo Liberation Army (#OLA) released photos of captured weapons from #ENDF in West Welega.

Photos show rare #Azerbaijan 🇦🇿-made HE 40M10 mortar bombs (2022-dated, supplied recently), Iranian KL-103 rifles, W85 HMG barrels and Chinese HE82 mortar bombs.

Whilst the peace agreement between #Tigray regional and the #Ethiopia federal government is promising, but the situation in #Oromia is worrying everyone. Extremely disturbing testimonies. Ethiopia cannot have a full and sustainable peace without an inclusive national dialogue.
