In the following interview the interviewee says the government structure is under his command, government is practically absent in the area where his army is active.

He also claims that his group has got its own (independent) communication infrastructure and the communication between his fighters has never been disruppted by the action of the government's cutting of communication infrastructure to the west of the country.

"We are treating the young and ill-trained Oromo youth the government sent to us after a week of training to fight against us, if you understand what I mean", he claimed.

"Yes we are in the towns, no more in the bushes. We have now moved to the cities and towns, no more in the bushes. We can't fight any more from the country side, rather from the centers where the people live." He added "they can't differentiate us from the people now".

Hope God will save these young and perhaps unlucky children who are carrying the responsibility of defending their country at that young age.


"Security, Administration, police and all kinds of public services are under our control. There is no government in the west of the country."

Jaal Maro seems to have panicked after watching the following action-film style military show

[Sam Ebalalehu]

If the Defend the truth’s translation of Jaal Maro is accurate, Jaal might have untreated mental problem. Or he is really ignorant. If he chooses to continue to be in the headlines for a few months , he and his “army” should holed up in the villages. The cities they should avoid until the last day when he will fly the flag of independent Oromia in Lekemet.

It seems that the heyday of Jaal Maroo is already over. Col. Abebe Geresu says there is no more any command post in the country.
