July 26,2012
Oromo Liberation Front
(OLF) which is led by General Kemal Gelchu and ALEJE, Alliance of the three organizations (Afar People
Party, Ginbot 7 Movement for Freedom, Justice and Democracy, Movement for
Ethiopian Unity and Justice) agreed to cooperatively work
towards removing the incumbent regime in Ethiopia, a press release
attests.
In their
joint communiqué released on the 22 July 2012, in addition to their
previous deals, the two organs agreed to work on five main points such as:
The source of all political powers, at local, at regional or Federal
levels, shall be fair and free elections.
The federal system to be established shall be real and genuine.
They shall use all forms of struggle that are timely and possible to
remove the TPLF rule.
A transitional provisional government that will be established shall be
composed of all political and civic organizations.
All the aforementioned activities shall be conducted in a country that
is known as sovereign Ethiopia.
The statement further
added, “As we have always been expressing our commitment to the main and
cardinal principles of the struggle of the Ethiopian people without any
equivocation in the past, ALEJE and OLF have reaffirmed their sincere
commitment and pledge to continue on the same path until the TPLF rule is
removed and replaced by democratic order.”
In such a time, when Meles Zenawi, the Commander -in- Chief and Prime
Minister of Ethiopia, has been absent
from his posts and the media for over 35 days now, most Ethiopian media and
activists are “
demanding all opposition forces to come together”, and stand-in if
crisis might arise due this power vacuum.
