TPLF, Fano militia and OLA unite to overthrow Ethiopia's Abiy Ahmed

The Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), Amhara’s Fano militias and the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA) announced that they have been coordinating their activities for more than a year, despite having fought on opposite sides during the Tigray conflict. In a joint statement released earlier this week, the three groups said their cooperation is aimed at establishing a transitional government that would replace the current federal administration in Ethiopia.

The declaration marks a notable shift in the country’s political landscape, as the former adversaries seek to present a unified front against the central government. Analysts note that the coordination reflects broader dissatisfaction with President Abiy Ahmed’s leadership and could intensify pressure for political reform. The groups have not specified a timeline for the transition, but their collaboration underscores an emerging coalition that may reshape Ethiopia’s governance structure in the coming months.
