“A naked butterfly dresses a stone” runs an Oromo proverb. We read with amusement a ‘press release’ from Minnesota USA by a group that claims to be OLF claiming to have reviewed the program of the organization and defining a new vision for Ethiopia. An outlaw splinter group from the OLF cannot undertake a venture that in itself is unconstitutional in the organization.
The group that calls itself OLF and issued a ‘press release’ on Jan. 1, 2012 to the effect of amending the organization’s program is a minority splinter group that has no legal or moral basis to claim the nameOLF as we have stated on our previous statement. According to the organization’s constitution and any
organizational norm it is the decision of the majority that has to finally prevail. This negligible minority group negate this norm and the organizational constitution to which they were a party and try to usurp the
name OLF itself.
