Breaking News: ONLF Troops attack Ethiopian Military Base in Baabile.




ONLF, Ogaden National Liberation Front, attacked a military base In Jigjiga Zone in Ogaden Region, a source said to Ogadentoday Press.

The attack took place on Sunday late afternoon, The ONLF Troops attacked a base located in Baabile, a district in Ogaden Region about 66 Km from the west of Somali Ogaden Capital Jigjiga.

There have been a massive attack, and both sides were using heavy weapons, the report added.

The region is on violent politics and conflict between, ONLF and Ethiopian troops based in Ogaden Region.

In April 2007, the Ogaden National Liberation Front, separatist group known as the ONLF attacked a Chinese-run oil exploration site in the Ogaden, killing 65 Ethiopian and nine Chinese workers.

Ethiopia claimed the Ogaden region in the late 19th century through a series of agreements with Italy and the U.K., which colonized much of modern-day Somalia. Somalis Ogaden people have opposed Ethiopian rule.

The region is cut off from the world, and there is no any independent media presence, aid organizations and human right groups accuses Ethiopia government for committing crimes against humanity, a move Addis ababa denied.

The Ogaden Region is believed to be Oil producing and Gas in next Years, as Ethiopian Prime Minister Melez Zenawi told reporters in Addis Ababa last week.

ONLF wants the oil should not be produced unless Ogaden cause should be solved politically and International community to find long lasting solution in Ogaden cause.

ONLF is fighting the independence of Ogaden Region in Ethiopia and has been founded by Ogaden people in 1984.

Ogadentoday Press cannot confirm the causality and there is no a media in the area. There is no any comment from sides, ONLF and Ethiopian government.

Most of the Ethiopian soldiers getting killed, what ethnic or tribe do they belong to?

Good question walaal, most of them are Sheekhaal and Ogadens, but few Xabashis, If we are talking about ''Military base'' then there is Xabash.
Liyu police is mostly inside the city's, they are too afraid to operate outside unless they get big support from the xabash.

The military base that is attacked is in Babille, just 34 kms away from Harar which has largest millitary base. ONLF is attacking , while Woyane is in defense. ONLF also operates in Awash and Shiniile zone, and there is no Liyu Police in that part of the country. The Liyo police stays in east and some central districts. Their main task is to watch out Shabaabs and contraband from Somalia.

Since ONLF's Mandad operation, Woyane is on the run. That is what is important.

Mashallah! allow onlf guusha raaci. My boys are showing signs of bravery and maturity.

[Faranacab]

ONLF is mature, independent, and strong political organization. It's doing well, so let's not let them down...

I think this attack was a political tactic. Meles is under a lot of heat and this is one more he has to worry about. Times are changing and The cause our people planted for is finally coming to fruition.

[Faranacab]

Yes, it was calculated. Eventually every move ONLF takes is carefully calculated, they never disappoint you. This news and other news from protesters at Camp David in USA, reinforce each other. It is best way to humiliate your enemy and milk the media for months. Just imagine,,, the damage it can cause for Mellez's oil corporations, when they find out ONLF walking around at the heart of Woyane's largest military base.

I say, well done ONLF, you are best Somali nationalists.

[daiman]

Victory is on their side and soon, Insha Allaah.

[Colonel]

I say, well done ONLF, you are best Somali nationalists.

Do you still believe that once the struggle is over Ogaden will join Somalia?

ONLF has not been fighting for 20 years in order to be ruled by Mahiga in Xamar.
