Former OLA commander Sagni Nagasa has been appointed as Advisor on Peace and Security to the Oromia Regional President.
Sagni Nagasa, a major commander of the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA), split with OLA and signed peace deal with Oromia government last year. Oromia Rebuma has been appointed as Deputy Attorney General Oromia while Tolera Regasa will serve as the Deputy Head of Oromia Peace and Administration Office.
Main OLA faction led by Kumsa Dirriba Jal Marroo accuses Sagni Nagasa of conspiring with ruling Prosperity Party to dismantle OLA which has been fighting the Ethiopian security forces in Oromia region for years.
Since Sagni Nagasa surrendered, fighting between OLA and government forces has been intensifying in Shewa Oromia. Sagni led OLA’s Shewa command. In the last two months, OLA Kumsa Dirriba group has assassinated three senior woreda level prosperity party leaders including Sululta woreda administrator.
It seems that Oromia regional government wants to make use of Sagni Nagasa’s experience of working with OLA to crush the OLA faction led by Jal Marroo.
