ONLF accuses Ethiopia of abandoning peace accord as both sides trade blame

The Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF) is at a crossroads, with a faction led by chairman Abdirahman Mahdi announcing that it will cease cooperation with the Ethiopian government, citing what it calls systematic violations of the 2018 Asmara Peace Agreement. The Ethiopian state broadcaster, Fana BC, dismissed the claim, asserting that ONLF remains committed to the peace accord and accusing the Nairobi-based faction of acting without official approval.


Abdirahman Mahdi, the leader of the ONLF faction in Nairobi, told the BBC that they will no longer "cooperate with the government," accusing Ethiopia of dismantling the 2018 peace agreement.
