ONLF Expresses Readiness To Work for Coninuation of Existing Development Achievements

 

Jijiga , September 27, 2010 (Addis Ababa) The ****** National Liberation Front (ONLF) expressed readiness to contribute its share towards the continuation of the development and good governance well underway in the country.

Members of the Central Committee of the ONLF presided over by ONLF Chairman, Engineer Salehudin Haji Mao made the commitment up on their arrival at Jijiga Town of Somali State.

 

The Chairman said the peace agreement signed between the government and ONLF recently has a significant contribution in the furtherance of the on-going development and good governance activities in the country.

 

He said his party would contribute share in the realization of the development and good governance efforts by operating under the umbrella of the national constitution.

 

The said he had confirmed that the Somali people have been benefiting from the development achievements so far gained.

 

The Chairman expressed his party's readiness to work hard for the practical application of the peace according in which his party and the government has signed.

 

More than 500 residents including community leaders, women and youth warmly welcomed the the ONLF Central Committee Members as well as the front's deputy chairperson up on their arrival at Jijiga Town.

This was what A.Osman's boys' Kamikaze mission was supposed to have derailed. Instead the boys got scalped at the border, and the peace process reaches Jijiga.

 

Pictures coming soon.

Salehudin Haji Mao was ousted in 2006 from the ONLF for stealing funds. This peace deal has absolute no credibility.

 

This so called peace deal truly shows Meles’s failure in the Somali Region. Media blockade still remains, fighting continues, region still underdeveloped and mostly the constant reports of human rights abuses in the Somali region never stops.

The peace deal has so much credibility that A Osman tried unsuccessfully to derail it using a kamikaze mission.

loool amxaarkaan madaalo.

By most reports it was quite successful actually the only one that differs is the website for Somali State Region website which is run by THE TPLF.

 

They claimed to kill 123 men yet they only showed 4 captures. Most reports indicate fighting continues in regions around Jijiga while Oil companies leave.

 

But then again, all claims by ONLF and TPLF can be assessed by world media. ONLF wants the world media to come into the Somali Region, while TPLF has an media blockade imposed.

Che,

 

What boggles my mind is why you chose Che-Guevara as your nick name. In case you didn't know, Che loved football(soccer)-some thing Al Shabaab is allergic to. Al-shabaab terrorists despise football so much they bombed football lovers in Kampala, Uganda while they were watching world cup final.

 

The real Che-Guevara must be flipping in his grave knowing an Al-Shabaab sympathizer is using his name to spread hate. :rolleyes:

TH,

 

Your propaganda has no merit. Oil companies are well put in the region. The only one that allegedly left is Petronas. But it didn't entirely leave. It subcontracted the job.

[Thierry Henry]

What propaganda? Why doesn’t the TPLF allow foreign media into the Somali Region to assess claim by both parties?

 

You constantly here championing TPLF success yet your own heroes are afraid to allow media and even Aid regions into the Somali Regions.

 

Oil companies are leaving and have left. The situation in the Somali Region has worsened since the so called peace deal. Oil stations are unsafe and have been captured by the ONLF before and will be captured again.

 

When you leader goes on national TV and talks about pitting sub clans against each other, you know there is a problem

Foreign media is free publicity for a desperate group that needs it like Oxygen. Keep on believing the many mendacious press releases of A Osman. If you keep a tally, by know his kamikaze boys must have killed tens of thousands of Xabashi troops.

 

Pinocchio doesn't have anything on A Osman.

[Thierry Henry]

Now you are getting desperate. Media isn’t allowed in the Somali Region. TPLF has gone to extreme lengths to shut private media in Ethiopia yet alone outside media. They even jam radio satellite to shut anyone out. Since the TPLF come into power, they have practically killed off number of private media.

 

TPLF cut ties with Qatar due to Al Jazeera report about ONLF rebels.

 

Just a couple months ago, Ethiopia expelled a foreign media personal who was around Jigajiga and Harrar trying to contact ONLF.

 

So we should accept Ethiopia’s opinion on the ONLF. How many times has they signed a peace agreement, how many times has ONLF been on its last leg and how the pathetic statement of ONLF is dead. TPLF has egg on its face for their comments about ONLF. They claim they signed a massive peace agreement while 300 to 500 men entered the region with heavy weaponry in the amidst of a military crackdown and media blockade

This implies that there were private media under cannibal Mengistu. You are a nut-case.

 

Private media is alive and well in Ethiopia. Thank you very much. FYI, EPRDF-led government was the first in Ethiopia's multi-millennium history to allow independent press in the country. Among the people who took advantage of this right were Mengistu Hailemariam's cadres who opened up newspapers to incite violence. Regardless, EPRDF gave them a right they denied the citizens while they were in power. They are thankless to this day.

After The Derg was ousted, private media started to grow again under the TPLF promise. But after a while, TPLF saw the damage private media can cause to its agenda. Ever since 1995, there has been a clampdown on private media organization within Ethiopia. This plain and obvious to see. And after 2005 election violence when the TPLF killed 193 civilians, private media has never been the same in Ethiopia yet alone the ******.

 

 

TPLF is a poor man’s Derg. Both rule the country under military rule, both kill numerous civilians and both promised major economic and social reform. The similarities are there to be seen, the only difference is the west support TPLF and its crimes.

TPLF killed 193 civilians

Any loss of life is unfortunate. But what you deliberately omitted was the cold-blooded killings

of 11 police officers. Peaceful demonstrators don't kill policemen using hand grenades and pistols. Peaceful demonstrators don't destroy public and private properties. Peaceful demonstrators don't carry machetes and ran around the streets like marauding thugs.

After The Derg was ousted, private media started to grow again under the TPLF promise.

Overall the private media in Ethiopia is in good shape. A private TV station, though, will be a welcome change. Hopefully sooner than later. In the mean time, enjoy this excellent private publication. It is one of my favourite.

There is no point discussing with you. It is obvious you have a serious mental issue. I suggest you visit a shrink.
