the home page of 7 million people for 11 years
To those with the foresight; to those who have foretold the acute need for an independent Ogaden news service, it only feels as if that was just yesterday.
However, it is today 11 long years to the day when the Ogaden Online service was found. It is exactly 11 years to the day when few individuals with nothing more than what at the time seemed like a pipedream came together to form the foundation of what has now become the largest news service throughout the horn of Africa.
Of course, no dream becomes reality without tremendous sacrifices being made by those who believe in the dream. The Ogaden online news service is no exception. There are individuals who have lost their lives covering news events from the Ogaden frontlines. There are others who lost their freedom for bringing to the fore the modern day genocide taking root in Ogaden.
To all those who volunteered to make the Ogaden online news service a reality, we salute you for your service. We thank you for your tireless efforts. We cherish your 11 long years of exemplary Ogaden news service. We mourn your losses in life, in wealth, and in precious time. We hope the people of Ogaden will reward you one day.
Eleven long years later, you are still going strong, stronger than ever, and more determined than ever to bring the plight of the people of Ogaden to the global masses. You have succeeded in doing that, we hope you will succeed in uniting the Ethiopian masses to overcome the now wobbling Woyane Tyranny.
