OLF states that Ethiopia must have sea access

The Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) has declared that it is time for Ethiopia to secure access to the sea. OLF spokesperson Lammi Gemechu stated that this stance is rooted in the strategic and historical interests of the Oromo people and the nations of the Horn of Africa. He emphasized that current regional political dynamics and global conditions necessitate this move, regardless of past alliances. The statement comes amid rising tensions between Ethiopia and Eritrea over access to the Red Sea. Despite Eritrea's historical support for the OLF, the party maintains that national interests must take precedence over past relationships.
