He highlighted that the agreement with the government consists of 13 articles and expressed optimism that they will be implemented as per the agreement. He mentioned that they are closely monitoring the process.

“We have come to an agreement with the government to disarm our weapons in the interest of peace in the country, as the conflict in Oromia has not been beneficial to civilians for years,” he said, urging the government to adhere to the agreement for the sake of the people.

Segni Regassa also indicated that his past leadership had prioritized addressing issues of peace and security without delving into specifics. Additionally, he acknowledged that the restoration of damaged infrastructure was included in the peace agreement.

He called upon others in the wilderness to consider the peace offers extended by their group members who are poised to end hostilities and address the suffering of their people.
