Toronto – Credible reports from Ethiopia indicate that the Oromia regional state is engaged in forced conscription across the region.  The conscripts are to be organized under Gaachana Sirnaa force – whose designation from the regional government will be “guarding the Oromo led change.” 

The exact number that the regional administration seeks to raise as Gaachana Sirnaa forces is undisclosed. 

The Oromia regional state has not yet remarked on it. There had been at least 30 rounds of military training in the region that is said to have prepared at least 300, 000 forces that were organized as “special forces” for the region. 

Abiy Ahmed’s Administration whose political base – as things stand now – is presumed to be the Oromia region of Ethiopia attempted to dissolve special forces in the Amhara region at a time when the Oromia region intensified militarization.  The move triggered resistance giving rise to the ongoing war in the Amhara region the Federal government was unable to control even after one year of full scale military mobilization and ten months long state of emergency in the region.  

Volatility in the Oromia region of Ethiopia intensified after Abiy Ahmed took power in 2018.  Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) – an ethnic Oromo Nationalist Group has been extensively operating in the region engaging in alleged activities of looting banks, ransom kidnappings and targeted massacres of tens of thousands of ethnic Amhara farming communities in the region.

Based on local news sources, Gaachana Sirnaa  is intended as a reserve force as the Fano Movement in the Amhara region is getting stronger. It seems to be informed by the anticipation that Fano forces could march outside of the Amhara region. 

Meanwhile, there are concerns that the Gaachana Sirnaa forced conscription and massive mobilization could be a preparation to unleash large scale ethnic massacre in the Oromia region in the event that Abiy Ahmed’s government is losing control – which does not seem to be the case at this point given the colossal amount of financial and other forms of support from western powers – primarily the United States.

  1. If true, this is basically setting up the stage for Oromia’s massive tribal militia in anticipation of impending civi war that would wreck havoc on the whole country,, on top of preparing and paving way for an invasion of neighboring countries like Somalia and Eritrea as Abiy himself threatened and repeated many times in public

      Preparing for total war and achieving total destruction. What is the point on being dead focused on ruling a country when there is not going to be any country to rule!!
      Shimeles Abdissa is even more dangerous than Abie. He constantly creates chaos and division, filling the innocent hearts of the Oromo with hatred by falsifying history and trying to revive a long dead, barbaric and backwards tradition. Exploiting the ignorance and nativity of farmers, sending them to kill and die, while he is getting filthy rich, building mansions with 3 swimming pools in a country where even the capital city AA faces more days without water than with water!
      His children go to private schools while schools that the poor people send their children are being bombed.
      Mark my words, because justice and accountability is a joke in current Ethiopia, when the shit hits the fan, we will see how fast these people (the PM, Abdissa and the laughable mayor who could not explain where some millions of dollars in her account came from!!!) will board private jets and will disappear to friendly for them countries with suitcases full of money and gold, while the country (if there is still gonna be one) will need 30years to reach the level she was before these double faced, snake tongue, professional thiefs came to power. Mark my words….
      Where is Itu Aba Farta now to defend them? Enjoying the beaches of Cali.? Shame and sadness…..
