Talk:United Front of Ethiopian Federalist and Confederalist Forces

Former TPLF enemies unite with TPLF

Once we have a reliable source external to Wikipedia that comments on the fact that most of the groups in the alliance were military enemies of the TPLF when it was in political-military power federally (as the main component of the EPDRF and running the ENDF), seeing TPLF as being oppressive in terms of stoking violent ethnic conflict and in committing human rights violations, then that would be relevant to add. To what degree do these groups trust TPLF to do better the second time around? What are the conditions of the alliance, and agreements of what procedures to use in establishing a transitionary federal government in a way that all groups have confidence that promises will not just evaporate? Sources for answering these questions would be good. Boud (talk) 22:35, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

Possible relations of smaller groups to Wikipedia-notable groups

Relations to sort out based on sources and dates:

• Agaw Democratic Movement vs
  • ...? (see also Agaw people)
  • Agew Liberation Front (ALF) (most probably - Rastakwere (talk) 11:36, 8 November 2021 (UTC))

    I don't see the quote in the heise.de source, and not even in the archive of 15 Aug 2021. Wrong URL? Boud (talk) 00:42, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

• Gambella Peoples Liberation Army [9 January 2006, per Sudan Tribune;] vs
  • Gambella Liberation Front, that exists on Twitter
  • Gambela People's Liberation Movement, OLF linked, GPLM name in 1985; In 1995, under pressure from the federal government, the GPLM was renamed as the Gambela People's Liberation Party.[16] In 1998 the federal government pressured the GPLP to merge with the Nuer-dominated Gambela People's Democratic Unity Party (GPDUP), forming the Gambela People's Democratic Front (GPDF). Anuaks unhappy with the GPLP-GPDUP merger formed the Gambela People's Democratic Congress.[2]
  • Gambela People's Democratic Movement, founded as the new regional EPRDF ally in 2003,
  • Gambela People's Democratic Unity Party = GPDUP, 1992-1998, Dec 2019 merged into the Prosperity Party;

I reverse image searched the Gambella Liberation Front's logo that Thomas van Linge posted on twitter and I came up empty handed.--Garmin21 (talk) 01:29, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

I think that besides OLA and TPLF those groups may be made up. Borysk5 (talk) 10:25, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

Please read the article. You'll currently see links to three groups other than OLA and TPLF that are well-sourced:

• Afar Revolutionary Democratic Unity Front
• Benishangul People's Liberation Movement
• Sidama National Liberation Front

What counts in Wikipedia are sources. We'll know over the next few weeks or months if serious sources appear for the four unsourced groups above. Boud (talk) 13:30, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

One source for GPLA added above. Insufficient for notability. Boud (talk) 23:07, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

KDP done, note added above. My guess about the Global... group is that that's a diaspora support group. Boud (talk) 23:50, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
