The Ethiopian government disclosed the collapse of the two-week-long peace negotiations aimed at resolving the prolonged conflict in the Oromo region. Redwan Hussein, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s national security adviser, confirmed the conclusion of the talks in Dar es Salaam, emphasizing that no agreement was reached.
In a statement on X, Redwan said throughout these talks, “the FDRE Government has been primarily motivated by its desire to silence the guns and put an end to the horrific harm and destruction of the war."

As reported by the Addis Standard, an independent Ethiopian media outlet that first reported on the clandestine talks between the government and OLA, the two sides failed to overcome significant differences "over matters of importance" since Monday.
The OLF presented proposals aiming for "a substantial shift in governance," advocating for inclusive governance and the participation of all political parties from the Oromo region. The government focused on arrangements exclusively with OLA, echoing the Pretoria Cessation of Hostilities Agreement signed with the TPLF in November last year, according to sources.
This marks the second instance where talks between the Addis government and the OLF have been inconclusive.
