Ethiopia asks Turkey's President to mediate with ONLF

By ION

The Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn took advantage of the trip to Addis Ababa of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey to ask him to use his influence with the Ogaden National Liberation Front(ONLF).

He would like this Eritrea-backed armed opposition movement to accept to enter discussions with his government before the general election in May. The trip comes just at the right time, because Ankara for its part wants to activate its Muslim contacts to approach certain ONLF leaders.
