With a heartfelt gratitude, we in the United Liberation Forces of Oromiyaa (ULFO) would like to congratulate our brothers in the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) for their courageous move to unify their organization. At this time when Oromiyaa is facing a gathering danger from its enemies, it is incumbent upon each and every Oromo organization to unite and work forcefully for the liberation of Oromiyaa.

The OLF’s move to leave the era of senseless factionalism and embark upon unity is commendable. ULFO sees this move as a first step in the direction of future journey to unify all Oromo forces so they can stand against the enemy in unison.

OLF’s reunification is, therefore, directly in par with ULFO’s call for unity. We hereby congratulate the OLF for taking these steps.

Now that the OLF has taken the necessary steps to reconcile and reunify its factions, ULFO shall peruse the next step, exploring ways to work with the unified OLF to fasten the liberation of Oromiyaa.
