The Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF) congratulates the government and people of Somalia on the occasion of its 49th anniversary of independence.
First July 1960 is a special occasion for all Somalis as it symbolizes the common aspirations of all Somalis and the formation of a republic that became home to all Somalis. On this occasion two of the five Somalis had united to form the democratic republic on the basis of common heritage, culture, language and religion. That original vision and spirit galvanized the collective psyche of the Somali Nation and set the stage for the creation of one of the mightiest nations in Africa.
The people of Somalia achieved independence because they stood firm in their belief that the Somali people have a undeniable right to self-determination and as such steadfastly supported their brethren in the Ogaden who suffer still under Ethiopian occupation and marginalization. That fierce love of freedom is why the Ethiopian invasion of Somalia failed so miserably and ONLF believes that Somali sovereignty cannot be compromised and any foreign forces who attempt to undertake similar futile efforts will fail and will know that the indomitable spirit of the Somali people is stronger than any imported and imposed ideology or the intentions of their enemy.
The ONLF has no doubt that the Somalia will once again return to her rightful place of leadership in Africa.
Soomaaliyay Toosoo Toosoo isku tiirsadayee hadba kiina taag daran taageera weligiineee!
