Headline: OLF Leadership in Capital Region Holds Urgent Summit to Assess “Current Conditions”

Sub-headline: Closed-door meeting in Gullalle evaluates domestic turmoil, Oromo national issues, and volatile Horn of Africa politics.

Finfinne, Oromia – [AMAJJII 26, 2026] The Political and Organizational Wing of the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) has convened a critical summit for its leadership cadres operating within the Addis Ababa (Finfinnee) and Sheger City administration. The meeting, framed as an assessment under “current conditions,” was called to deliberate on a pressing array of national and regional challenges.

The high-level gathering took place on AMAJJII 24, 2026, at the OLF’s Gullalle Branch Office. It brought together OLF officials who hold organizational duties in the capital region, a key political and symbolic center for Oromo political activity.

According to sources close to the proceedings, the closed-door deliberations focused on three interconnected crisis points:

1. The Prevailing Political and Security Situation in Ethiopia: Leaders analyzed the nation’s deepening instability and its implications for political strategy.
2. The Condition of the Oromo People and Oromia: A central, urgent topic was the assessment of the socio-political and security circumstances facing the Oromo population within Oromia regional state, a longstanding core issue for the OLF.
3. The Current Political Climate in the Horn of Africa: Discussions also covered the rapidly shifting regional geopolitics and its impact on the Ethiopian and Oromo political landscape.

The meeting was chaired by senior figures from the OLF’s Central Committee and its political wing, identified as Jaal Amaan Filee and Jaal Gammachiis Tolasaa. These officials presented detailed briefings on the summit’s core agenda items, framing the discussions for attending members.

Participants actively engaged, presenting analyses and raising strategic questions, leading the organizers to declare the summit “successful and productive.” The convening of such a focused meeting highlights the OLF’s attempt to consolidate its internal position and refine its response to a period of intense national uncertainty.

The holding of this summit in the capital is particularly significant, indicating an effort by the party’s leadership core to coordinate strategy from a central locus of power and information. While no public statement or resolution has been issued following the meeting, political observers note that such consultations often precede major strategic decisions or public declarations by the party.
