Coordinated military strikes target Oromo Liberation Army strongholds.
A storm is brewing on the Ethiopia-Kenya border, and the Oromo Liberation Army is in the crosshairs. Ethiopia’s National Intelligence and Security Service has confirmed that Kenya’s security crackdown is no rogue mission—it’s a coordinated strike, planned and executed with Ethiopian forces to obliterate OLA strongholds. This is no routine operation; this is war.
Kenya’s ‘Operation Ondoa Jangili’ is hammering suspected OLA camps in Marsabit and Isiolo, eliminating safe havens where militants have long operated with impunity. The message is clear: Nairobi and Addis Ababa are done tolerating insurgents who traffic arms, smuggle minerals, and stoke tribal bloodshed. Ethiopian intelligence has vowed to tighten the noose, deploying firepower to dismantle what it calls a “national security threat.”
The OLA, defiant as ever, claims innocence, insisting its forces remain deep inside Oromia. But the reality on the ground tells a different story—both countries have already inflicted heavy losses, reducing militant positions to ashes. The Ethiopian-Kenyan pact signed in August 2024 wasn’t just a diplomatic handshake; it was a war plan, and now it’s unfolding with lethal precision.
There’s no turning back now. The battle lines are drawn, and the OLA is running out of places to hide. Addis Ababa and Nairobi aren’t just hunting insurgents; they’re rewriting the rules of engagement, showing that no rebel faction is beyond the reach of state power. The fight has begun, and the endgame is total elimination.
