It is true the problem is in Tigray and Oromia. But caution is warranted when we say Oromia. The only place Shene is comfortable operating is Wellega. Oromia comprises Bale, Illbabour, Kefa, Harrar, and Showa besides Wellega.
Wellega is a fertile ground for ethnic conflict because the German Protestants who came with bible in hands paved the ground for it.
No. OLA is also very active in Guji AND Borana as well. It has support all over Oromia, in fact, but the fact is, OPDO, like TPLF, depends on brute force and external aid from European powers, to maintain their power. it's very creation by tplf and with help from shabia, was to suppress any genuine and independent Oromo nationalists, and to have slave oromo's in power who would sell the entire country, including oromia, for the sake of money and power.
As far as Wallaga goes, the OLA gained more momentum there, after the irrecha massacre by tplf, it gained more recruits, who disarmed the local opdo militias, and used them to defend themselves.
OLA there under Marroo, established local militias and local governments, because the OPDO, as it is now, and then, failed their people.
So, the people were forced to take matters into their own hands.
