ONLF Rebels Kill Two In An Ambush – Ethiopia

may give mercy to those who died there, but don`t think that the ONLF Has carried out any diract attack to any civilians,
In the Ogaden or Somaliland their aim is to attack Ethiopian Soldiers in Ogaden,

please dnt believe the ethioppian probaganda iam 1000% sure its not the somali lebaration front dat commted these murders its a strategy of pitting the somali people against each. and it already worked as my borther who wrote this article allready falled for the abbysinian propaganda am sure ogadeen and issaq somalis dont hate each other and it would msitake for for the lipartion to take such a action and they now this too well they not just a kiilin machine. long live somali wayn

This is another sad day. why do ONLF like to kill civilians? they publicly oppose our demand for recognition and attack Somaliland.
why doesn't america condemn the killings? i read about pass killings of civilians by ONLF..hundreds of innocent people http://foreignaffairs.house.gov/110/pha100207.htm

ONE DAY THEY WILL BROUGHT TO ICC TO JUSTICE!!!!

Hi there all,

Let us set the record straight before we get lost in the fruitless argument of tribal chauvanism.

1)Hurting INNOCENT civilians anywhere is wrong but who knows whether or not these two killed persons were guilty of some crime or innocent?.
2) Who knows for a fact that ONLF actually killed them?. Many things can wrongly be accused of ONLF as the case is with any political organisation. And it is hard to believe that ONLF would just kill an innocent person for no reason. In fact, it is not their interest to kill innocent persons and they know it very well and more than anybody else because achieving their goal depends on the support of their people.
3)Danod and Gashamo are towns within the borders of Ogadenia and, therefore, whether or not one likes is beyond Hargheisa’s jurispridence and reach.
One can not legimately argue to have laws in their territory and yet advocate for citizens of another territory. It simply doesn’t make sense. You either respect territorial limits or be guided by your clan instinct and lose your head and reasoning.
If Hargheisa wants to be respected in its borders, then it ought to learn that it has no business beyond the same borders. And the sooner the better.

O.N.L.F hadaf keedu mahan iney dad shacab ah laysto dagaalkeedu wuxuu ku aadan yahay ciidanka wayaanaha ee dulmiga kuhaya dadka reer Ogaadeeniya.
Wayaanuhu wuxuu isku dayaa suu dadka walaalaha ah ee soomaaliyeed isugu dirilahaa marka waxaan leeyahay waa in arintaa aad looga feejignaado

I don't think ONLF Kill Civilian ,, No way
ONLF fight against Ethiopian force, who killing there people
this is propaganda news really …

Ahmed,

Most people who made comments here made sense but unfortunately you are not one of them.

Here is your silly statement, I am not where the logic is.

"One can not legimately argue to have laws in their territory and yet advocate for citizens of another territory. It simply doesn't make sense. You either respect territorial limits or be guided by your clan instinct and lose your head and reasoning".

I think you are the one who is "guided by your clan instinct and lost your head and reasoning".

ahmedyy,

It is not good to be selective in your comment. By saying “most of the commentators” you are simply picking up the favorable ones and conveniently ignoring the non-savory ones.

ONLF is not obliged to recognize Somaliland (publically or privately)and the same is true with Somaliland. Also ONLF certainly did not kill hundreds (guilty or innocent) of people who hail from there.
It is also important to grow up and know where your allegiance lies, across the border with your clan or with those who you live with and you share with the suffering and pain of the Ethiopian occupation regardless of their clan.

One can’t have both ways and it really pays to know that.

ONLF will continue to loose sypathy for their cause if they ill-fully continue to kill and injure Somalilanders and non-Ogaden Somalis living in the Oogo. This practice of antagonizing Somalilanders can have repercussion that will not be helpful to their objectives and goals i.e. to live in peace with other Somalis in the region while fighting the oppression of the Ethiopian government.

Neither launching attacks from/on Somaliland territories or killing civilians can be tolerated for a long time as it has been going on for long time. Somaliland has laws and if these laws are willfully broken by any group whether they hail from Somaliland or ONLF, they will be brought to justice through court of law and held responsible for their actions. It wants to live in peace with all of its neighbors and therefore would not want any unnecessary friction between itself and its neighbors, so if ONFL wants peace with Somalilanders, they ought to respect and desist from such belligerent behaviour towards Somalilanders and their brothers/sister in the Oogo and Haud for an attack on one is an attack on the other. Isn't their objective to fight Ethiopian government, what is killing inocent Somalis going about their life and business going to accomplish. Know your enemies and know them well and refrain from such distastful actions.

I do not think this is the action ONLF. People in Somaliland and Ogaden are brothers and sisters.
ONLF do not deliberatly target civilian let alone somali civilians.

Bro thanks to news but also other source says, in different way, in my point of veiw i was in Ogaden long time, i am not Ogaden clan, i am sheekhaal, and i know even the war between some reer cabdille clan and sheekhaal and the main cause was Ethiopian, they want to divide somalis in the region, i was living in Fiq and also Jigjiga, ONLF really faces war againist Ethiopia, may be there is regime in Somaliland who does not want ONLF, also may be some one in Ogaden sees Somaliland as haters, but fact is far from there, some times Ethiopian Troops takes Civilian trucks and onlf clash over them, so we cant say this time it is deliberatly, here is some other source, in this website.

cumar,saaxiib waxaan dhihi lahaaba adaa yidhi,aad ayaanad u mahadsan tahay
Waxaan u malaynayaa in fakarka dadka uu cad yahay,kaas oo odhanaya waxaan suurto gal ahayn in ay onlf ay dad shacab ah iska layso si ulakac ah,waxaan kali ah oo aan dhihi lahaa in rabbi ha'garansiiyo reer soomaaliland sida ay cidkasta u jeceshahay in meesha uu rabbi aduunka kaga abuuray ay mudan tahay in lagu xurmeeyo.
Iibsashada aad dadka soomaaliyeed ee itoobiya guumaysato aad iibsanaysaan waa wax laga xumaado oo aan la'iloobi karin.

the so-called somaliland fake country, fake government should not sent its clan into Ogadenia or more "somalilanders" will be killed by ONLF patriotic forces.

i wish ONLF killed more of your people who are slaves of the west and xabashi. somaliland will be destroyed soon.
Ogadenia will be free and somaliland will never get its recognition!!

Ogaden Fighter
you wrote " I wish ONLF killed more of your people who who are slaves of the west and xabashi, somaliland will be destroyed soon.
ogaden will be free and somaliland will never get its recognitoin.

I don't doubt you are Ogaden fighter because that is not how they talk and what believe, but you are one of those hypocrites out there who always try to ignite fire or create condition of hostility among people so shut your badmouth.

to somalilanders alghough I don't like your adminstration in hargaeysa's policy towards Ogadens, I opologize what that guy above comments

Ogaden figher

oOps!! I meant I really doubt that you are Ogader fighter because that is not how thay "ONLF" talk or believe.

It is wonderful report, I totaly dis agree for this comment,because Somali politicians blame each other geting hand the ONLF.

Example When Puntlnad and Somaliland were fighting, they accuse each other for ONLF fighting biside of, then it is became a habitual of the Somalis to acuse onlf killling civilians.
Freedom fighters of Ogaden they Know their enemy and they know their goals so no sigle Somali person is an enemy of the ONLF.

ONLF lost the war, their land and women so they take it out on civilians from Somaliland, this will not win them hearts in Somaliland, they will just have more Somalilanders close to Ethiopia and sympathetic with the Ethiopian people.

No wonder they are not free they dont even know how to fight nor win hearts or diplomacy for that matter, bunch of nomads with few riffles from world war 2 running around in the bushes.

i hail from the puntland administration, and as a puntlander and a somali, i condemm what happened to the 2 fellow somalis that died, but under any circumstances i will never believe that Onlf has commit such assualt

i also wanna say, that puntland administration and somaliland administration have both devil and stupid and dumm a leaders by simply siding with ethiopia and and support the continuous suffering of our somali brothers and sisters ..

why is it that we peaceful northern regions have to be supported by ethiopia whilst we carry out ethiopian interest which doesn't benefit us at all….

how come eritrea can stand on its own feet and somaliland and puntland need to be supported by ethiopian regime…
..the answer is very simple aslong as puntland and somaliland are not cooperating with each other and they are building armies towards each other,,…we will be puppets for ethiopia..

somalilanders above everything we are somali and muslim, with the right leaders we can not only be succesful but loving brothers who are succesfull..please support the peace between puntland and somaliland,….and also what u want for yourself want the same thing for the somalis being occupied by ethiopia

I am from Gashamo, and there our enemy number1 is the Oganden /ONLF terrorists, so please guys stop blaming someone else and open your eyes to reality.

xaaji,

while I agree with your sentiment that human suffering should be stopped, I question whether you understand that ALL people in the horn are suffering. It is time we all work together, whatever our ethnicity. At the end of the day it should not matter who the "leaders" are. What we should work for is peace and prosperity. For me, if I can feed my family, work at what I like, pray to God without trouble and enjoy life, I do not care to blame everyone for everything. You mention Eritrea standing alone. Ha! There people are suffering at the hands of the ego of Afwerki. Do you think the poor farmer there has time to worry who is in the parliament. We all know politicians are greedy and will do nothing for the people. So let us stop killing each other and start working towards building our neighborhood. I promise you, if we can work together to feed and educate all our people in the region, then all of this ignorant tribalism would go away.

Peace my brothers.

ill make this short and sweet.
OGADENIS if you not carefull you'll have two enemies in the ogadenia Somaliland and Ethiopia.When the bullets start Flying they will be No mercy. as you allready WEAk it wont take much to take your land ,women and dignity.
So my Advice 2 tha Dummie Ogadenis-Watch your Step.
Somaliland First

Gaashaamo waa tuula yaroo Ogadenia ka tirsan. Tuulada sidii la doono ayaa loogu talin haddii kuwa degan ay dadka kale wax la qabi waayaana, xadka unbaa dhankale loo dhaafin. Sheekaduna meeshaa ayey ku gudhi.

Hargeysa ha ogaato haddey sii wadaan dabadhilif-nimada Xabashida, iney ku jabi doonaan waayo ONLF waxey quusisay TPLF-ta ay dabaqoodhiga u yihiin.
