The Gambella Liberation Front is not surprised to see some of the kids presented as wilful surrenders to the genocidal regime of Abiy Ahmed and his puppet Omod Ojulu, the President of Gambella. First of all some of these kids are not in a fighting age

.

Secondly, we do not have a single defected soldier. GLF strongly the propaganda which Abiy and his state-owned Media have been using to tarnish the image of those they are up against. We believe Ethiopians should not be surprised because thousands and thousand times again, Abiy has been using his citizens he already lives with and present them in the media as prisoners of war. He did that with Returnee Refugee from Saudi Arabia who happened to be from Tigray National and Regional State and presented them as prisoners of war.

This was a complete lie because both TDF and GLF as well as our other partners in arm rebellion such as the OLA do not recruit children into the army. Gambella Authorities must be careful with how they play with the lives of innocent people.

In August, they killed 4 innocent citizens of ethnic Nuer who had nothing to do with our movement. Just like what Abiy is doing to ethnic Tigrayans across Ethiopia killing and arresting them just because of ethnicity, Omod is doing the same with ethnic Nuer.

These people will be held accountable in a very short time as their ship is sinking very rapidly. Our message to everyone in Gambella is not only to stop adopting the lies from Addis Ababa but stop listening to them because they have destroyed this country leading to the death of so many Gambellians in the Defense Force. Abiy took the country to war with Tigray in a pure lie that Tigray attacked army. In reality, himself, Isaias and Amhara elite have prepared this war under the cover of darkness out of the parliamentary knowledge and now he is keeping lying day by day forging victories. Let him go to the sinkhole alone.
