The political strategy that was alluded to in the speech was later unveiled as the military plan to annihilate the OLA in a month. If we don't stand together, it will find an opening to divide us and grow robust itself. When we fight it together, this group will not be able to emasculate our people. Rather than waylaying and distrusting each other within our party, we must understand that this enemy is out to destroy all of us and be prepared to confront it together. Each and every member of Prosperity Party must stand unified and fight it together. Speaking to party leaders attending the first meeting of the newly constituted Central Committee of the Prosperity Party, the president of the party and prime minister gave the clearest indication of the preparation and strategy of the military campaign as follows.Įven though "Shanay," looked at strictly from Oromia's vantage point, is primarily the enemy of the Oromo people and Oromia, it is in fact the enemy of the entire Prosperity Party. That a campaign against the OLA was imminent came on March 15, 2022. It was apparent that a military operation against the OLA was in the offing.

He even dismissed it as a rudderless and leaderless gang of bandits roaming the countryside in search of victims and reams of cash to loot. He dismissed it as a collective given to murdering indiscriminately, plundering private property, and destroying development projects. Referring to it pejoratively as "shanay," the prime minister described the OLA as an armed group with no clear political goals and bereft of any scruples to respect human dignity. When the Ethiopian House of Representatives met on February 22, 2022, the Ethiopian prime minister indicated that the government would eventually deal with the OLA. The plan has now gone into operation and reports show that the Oromia region has been effectively encircled. In other words, the goal of the campaign is to lay siege to the Oromia region to squeeze the population into expunging OLA combatants from their midst and prevent them from fleeing to the neighboring countries. The war plan is modeled after the anaconda strategy that was designed to chock off the Tigray region to induce the surrender of the Tigrayan Defense Forces (TDF). So far, the regional forces are deployed in defensive postures but ready to enter the Oromia region upon request. In areas where Oromia has adjacent borders with other regional forces, the Somali region, the Gambella region, the Sidama region, and the Benishagul Gumuz have deployed their regional forces to seal off their borders.

They are positioned to attack OLA forces in five directions: the Wallagga front in the west, the Guji front in the south, the Western Shewa front in central Oromia, the Bale-Hararge front in the east and finally the North and East Shawa front in the north.

The Ethiopian National Defense Forces (ENDF), the Federal Police, the Oromia Regional Police, the Oromia Special Forces, and the Oromia militia have been deployed inside Oromia. The announcement revealed that five separate forces were mobilized to execute the war plan.
