Dear Obang Ojwok Jobi,
I read an article written by you published by the Sudan Times about the emergence of the AFD out of the CUD, OLF, and ONLF. As a close follower of Ethiopian politics I found your article very intriguing.
In the article you mention a possible alliance between the UEDF and the AFD as on one that would pose quite a problem for the EPRDF. Are you being speculative about that alliance or is there some information that suggests the alliance is being considered?
Is there a formal organization that can be pointed to that acts as the AFD umbrella for its three components? Do you know where I might find information on that?
