Show Notes

In today's episode, your hosts Jaal Maroo and Jaal Aangoo discuss the recent release of Oromo political prisoners belonging to the Oromo Federalist Congress (OFC) party leadership, after 18 months of wrongful imprisonment. We discuss the motivations behind the Ethiopian regime's sudden decision to release some prominent political prisoners while keeping others jailed, the official statement published by the OFC leaders after their release, and the possible implications  of these developments for the Oromo struggle.  Listen and let us know what you think at (+1) 430-755-0727 (voicemail or text), or reach us on our Instagram or Twitter @TeamFreeOromia.
