“For Ethiopians, the national dialogue is an opportunity to chart a new path for peace, political tolerance, national unity, political and economic equality and a shared Ethiopian destiny. Since November 2020, TPLF [Tigray People's Liberation Front] and OLA [Oromo Liberation Army] demonstrated that they have no interest in getting on such a path, so there is nothing to be gained from including them in the national dialogue. But the exclusion of the TPLF and the OLA from the process should not be seen as a sign that Tigrayans and Oromos will also be excluded from the national dialogue. These groups are crucial members of the Ethiopian nation, and there is no reason to believe the federal government is trying to exclude them from its national dialogue initiative.”
