The Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) Executive Committee today announced the removal of General Kemal Gelchu as its Chairman and purged him from the organization effective immediately.
A press release from the organization cites “poor leadership qualities and dictatorial actions” by General Kemal Gelchu as the main reason for the political decision.
The former Ethiopian army general who fled to Eritrea in 2006 with a heavily armed regiment of 150 soldiers has since lived there, where OLF maintains its headquarters as well as military base.
