The Ethiopian government can no longer justify the continued existence of the paramilitary force called Liyu Police. There can be no legitimate reason for a country that plays an active part in regional and global peacekeeping operations to keep its own peace with a notorious paramilitary force known for its lethal ferocity.
Lemma Megersa's administration and the OPDO should demand the immediate dissolution of this criminal force. If the federal government can't grant this, they too should be allowed to set up their own special forces to keep their own people from forces the Ethiopian army was unable to protect. When the federal government abnegates its supreme responsibility to provide peace and security - the last two public goods on which it legitimized its very existence - it falls on the regional government to defend its people and the nation's borders.
This force was created with a nefarious end in mind. Since its creation, its vicious particularity has been on display for the entire world to see. If it is not dealt with soon enough, it will be a much serious threat to Oromia and the country.
