OLF Amharic May 6 commented that the recent land "transaction" between
TPLF and Sudan is a mutual agreement benefiting both regimes.
Sudan according to the commentary will hand opponents to TPLF and make
sure its land including the one it was given by TPLF as a "gift" not to be used as
a military base by TPLF's opponents.
We have seen another deal between Puntland administration, Somalia and
TPLF that resulted to the handling of ONLF high officials for exchange of guns.
There was no land transaction between Puntland and TPLF this time because
Puntland has no strong army to challenge ONLF. However, we can not rule out
that possibility for the future.
The long term goal of the land "gift" to Sudan according to the OLF commentary
is to plant a long term conflict between Sudan and Ethiopia mirroring the Badme
"fiasco" which took the lives of tens of thousands of Ethiopians.
It went further and challenged all opponents of the regime to come together and
remove this regime to detonate all the bombs planted inside and outside
Ethiopia before it takes our people and country for a devastating conflict among
ourselves and with neighboring countries.
