Oromo Liberation Army OLA Commander Jal Borressa Surrenders
Jal Borressa, an Oromo Liberation Army (OLA) commander, has laid down arms. The OLA commander was operating in West Shewa zone of the Oromia region. He surrendered in Meta Welkite West Shewa.
Oromo Liberation Army is an armed ethnic militia which has been fighting the Ethiopian security forces in the Oromia region for years. OLA is led by Kumsa Dirriba, popularly known as Jal Marroo. OLA Jal Marro group claims that government has formed its own fake OLA groups to confuse people.
Government sources claim that Jal Borressa is second in command in West Shewa zone. Oromo Liberation Army denies Jal Boressa being part of its organization. According to OLA, its three main commanders in central Oromia, which includes West Shewa, are Jal Abdi, Jal Wegersa and Jal Borre. Oromo Liberation Army Jal Marro group claims that government wants to confuse people between Jal Borre and Jal Borressa.
In a related development, several Oromo Liberation Army Jal Marro group fighters this week surrendered in East Borena zone. The general administrator of East Borena zone Abdurezaq Hussein said this week that the military and security forces have freed more than 100 kebelas where OLA was operating.
