the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA) Eastern Command reported that our
gallant freedom fighters have engaged the invading TPLF/EPRDF army and
put over 8 Wayyaanee [Ethiopian] troops out of action on January 10,

[Woreda] around Raphee, at a place called ganda 26 [26th village]
killing 3 enemy troops and wounding over 5. It is known that in this
intense fighting the remaining enemy troops have escaped the fighting in
disarray.
In this operation our freedom fighters have captured several automatic
guns, hand grenades, and ammunitions from the enemy.
Meanwhile, another OLA command operating in Southern Command, Baalee
