Ethiopian rebel leader rejects claims of targeting civilians

Oromia is Ethiopia’s country’s biggest state, with 35% of the population and the Federal Republic’s capital, Addis Ababa. But according to Jaal Marroo, the leader of the Oromo Liberation Army, historic injustices against the Oromo people persist in modern-day Ethiopia. The OLA has been fighting the Ethiopian government for more autonomy since the 2018. Speaking to The Associated Press in a rare interview from his remote forest outpost in southern Ethiopia, Marroo said his goal is to establish a democratic political order. Meanwhile, the people of Oromia state continue to suffer because of the conflict.
