OFC Criticizes Federal Government Silence Over Moyale Conflict

The Oromo Federalist Congress (OFC) has criticized the federal government for its silence regarding the escalating conflict in Moyale town. The violence, which stems from a dispute over flag raising on the border of Oromia and Somali regions, has resulted in multiple deaths and the displacement of at least 10,000 people into Kenya. The OFC condemned what it described as the infiltration of armed groups and unconstitutional administrative changes, urging the federal government to ensure citizen safety and resolve the border issues. The party also held the Oromia regional government accountable for failing to protect residents and called for an independent, swift investigation into the killings and property damage.
