Eritrea Providing Military Training For Hundreds Of ONLF Fighters

 

Hargeisa (SL Times)

 

An Operation for smuggling insurgents into Ethiopia foiled as Somaliland security forces arrest 34 Eritrea-trained ONLF Combatants and uncover infiltration route running through Djibouti and Somaliland.

 

Hargeisa (SL Times) – The Somaliland Security Forces have foiled an operation for smuggling a group of combatants with suspected ONLF ties into eastern Ethiopia. All the group’s 34 members were arrested by the police. The arrests were believed to have taken place between Nov 29 and Dec 1, 2003.

 

The 34 suspects were remanded in custody on Thursday (Dec 4) by a Hargeisa court. According to Somaliland Police Commissioner Mohamed Egeh, state prosecutors will deal with the case in front of a Somaliland Court. The arrested men were expected to be at least charged with endangering the country’s national security and violating the country’s immigration laws.

 

According to police sources, a number of suspects have already confessed that all members of their group belonged to the ****** National Liberation Movement, an armed militia group fighting the Ethiopian government in areas inhabited by the ****** clan in the Somali state of Ethiopia known as Zone 5.

 

Though police investigations are still under way, all those who had been interrogated so far, confessed that they underwent military training in Eritrea and came to Somaliland via Djibouti.

 

According to sources close to the police, the suspects were among the first batch of ONLF combatants to graduate from Kalena and Addis Maskal training camps in Eritrea. Between 700 and 1200 ONLF recruits were receiving training at the two camps. The batch consisting of 100 men divided into 3 sub-groups was planned to infiltrate into Ethiopia through Djibouti and then Somaliland. At least one of the remaining two sub-groups made up of 33 men each was confirmed to have left Hargeisa for the Ethiopian border by end of last month.

 

However, shortly after crossing into Ethiopia on the night of Nov 27, this sub-group was intercepted within the vicinity of Bali-Gubadle village about 80km south of Hargeisa.

 

In the ensuing fighting, 2 ONLF insurgents were reportedly killed while another 2 were taken prisoner. A group of nomads from the area were believed to have joined the fighting along side the Ethiopian Security Forces. One of the nomads was confirmed dead while another was wounded. It was not yet known whether the Ethiopian regular security forces had take any casualties as a result of the clash. The remaining ONLF fighters (30) managed to escape going south into Zone five's hinterland. They were again intercepted at Dusmo, about 200km south of Hargeisa, located between Aware and Dhagahbur. The Ethiopians were reported to have lost 6 men in this clash. Dusmo is located in an area inhabited by member of the ****** clan.

 

Ordinary Somalilanders were shocked by the news that the ONLF was using Somaliland territories for staging infiltration operations. They were also angered by the ONLF Chairman's statement on Tuesday, that his group will respond to the Hargeisa arrests by taking reprisals against Somaliland nomads in Zone 5. Though the ****** co-inhabit Zone 5 with other Somali groups, the ONLF chairman claimed that the whole territory belonged only to members of his clan.

 

Already a number of Isaaak men were reported to have been killed by Ogadeeni insurgents in various parts of Zone 5. The ONLF chairman (Mr. Mohammed Omar Osman) who lives in London was interviewed by the BBC Somali Service on Tuesday. He served under the regime of Somalia’s former dictator, Siyad Barre, in the position of Admiral of the Somali Navy.

[Abdulladiif Al-Fiqih]

Riyaale's administration is desparate for world recognition which I hope they get soon so they might stop pleasing Ethiopia and licking Milazawe's butt. This is not the first time Riyaale and the midwife admin did such a despeacable acts of handing their somali brothers and sisters to ruthless dictator.

 

Liqaye, what is your point of posting this anyway?

[Saxardiid]

i think the isolation that the somalilands governments sufures at the moment and their close relationship with the Ethios forces them to prove that they are worthy of support/friendship and if slands existance depends on this kind of service to Ethiopeans then ONLF (which i don't support) should sacrifice few of their members to help their hopeless brothers to survive.

Sooyaal you might as well just say you are an ardent supporter of the Riyaale "administration".

 

Despicable walee, to even begin to think over of handing your freedom fighting brother to raw-meat eating habeshas.

 

If "Somalilands" existence depends on Ethiopia then why seek recognition? Recognition means that you are a sovereign nation,capable of running your state.

 

If you're not ready to jump a bridge, why jump?

[Libaax-Sankataabte]

The dominant image I have of Riyaale is that he is just another president loosing grip on domestic issues. This latest developement, if true, proves that a support from a powerful neighbour like Ethiopia is all necessary for the survival of any regime in the horn.

 

OLF is not and was never the enemy of Somaliland. Infact such instance of rebellion gets sympathy from the average lander who sees Ethiopia as nothing but a centuries old amxaaro gumayse.

 

Soyaal, saxib check the following remark from a "die-hard separatist".

"Caqliqa caafimaadka qabaa ma liqi karo ONLF baa hawlgallo ka fulisa Somaliland, Diblomaasiyadda Siyaasadda, dhaqanka Soomaalida iyo diinka Islaamkaba waa ku ceeb in dhiigga socotada iyo maganta laga dayo saaxiibtinimo cid kale. Itoobiyana si’ sidaa ka suubban oo ka sharaf badan ayaynu xidhiidhkeeda ku hagaajin karraa”

 

 

May Allah bring freedom to the Somali people under the Amxaaro rule.

[Observer]

Isnt it peculiar when the so call somaliland regime want an independent from thier somali brothers/sisters, on the other hand; handing the to poor people who really are oppressed and persecuted on daily basis to historically well known enemy of ISLAM and somali? This is dark history which is norm for somaliland regime. If being "dabodhilif" to amxaro worth it, so be it.

 

 

Soyaal

I understand your ambition to be recognize but not in SUCH A DISGRACEFUL WAY SXB. I know this is a bitter pill to swallow, but I don't think I stand alone when I tell you that, be it your previous posting which is removed by admin. is full of "gutter-trash" and are hovering inch-close to complete worthlessness. Your bigotry and norrow mindness, which I abhore, will not get you or anyone else anywhere.

 

I AM AFFRAID REYALEE AND ALIKE MIGHT EVEN SELL THIER RELIGION MERELY TO PLEASE AMAXARO. FALSE?

Amiin!

Haven't they already? I mean what else is left when you expose your brothers and sisters in ISLAM merely fighting for their freedom against kuffars (true meaning of jihad). I wonder when they will stop kissing the A$$ of the kufars...what will they get out of it?..anything more than a little pat on the shoulder and a job well done...your the best dabadhilifs Ethiopia ever had, now go on and get us some more of your people to make the prey list of the day?? Subaxanallah.

 

The end might justify the means to these people for now, but Allah (swt) is just and they will surely get their jazaa!!!

 

Sayfulaah...very well said walal!

Walaal Xarbi War la'aani waa dhego laaan.

 

Markas na rer-somaliland waxay garteen, Waa baahan tahay bakhtiga looma cuno.

 

Somaliland can not be built upon somali galbeed repression.

But on the other hand the ONLF is not and never will be freedom movement for somali galbeed.

 

why remove the W from WSLF to O for there own clan.

 

As well as all the nonsense about the hawd.

 

Safullah maybe we will debate it more indepth on another day.

[Saxardiid]

first of all i'm not somalilander and i'm definitely not Reyale supporter but i can totally understand why they did what they did.

Horn

politics is far from emotional nor has any moral bases. its only calculating what is working for you and how to survive. sland kick out and some times put in jail many people from somali proper ie. Konfor because they consider them as foreigners what about those from Western somalia, they definitely consider as Ethiopians. People from western somalia and ONLF in particular must understand these new realities and act upon it. Every muslum country is doing same thing working with any body else to get help and support. its not reyale the first person who did this cooperation with Ethiopeans Egal did, so A/lahi yusuf, mohamed dheere and so forth. and when they get the recognition then sovereign nations change course as they please.

 

Libaax thanks for your advice but does your friend "die hard" have any better way to get recognition?

after all you're one of conspirators who hide behind moral high ground to censor the opinions of other people. I'm sorry but you're far removed from the reality of what is happening in the horn of africa. whether you like or not the lion ie. amxaaro as you may call it or more appropriately Ethiopeans are running the show. they are pulling any one in the region and no one is cabaple of doing anything they oppose. And about the ONLF they better sign peace with Ethiopeans or find alternative way to fight may be using comercial planes to hit Hotel wabi shabeele etc.

Well there you have it foks, the male version of our dearly departed SamiGyrl. :rolleyes:

[Observer]

SXB, I amm not far from reality as you neither think nor delude myself in state of illusion as Reyalee and his admin. Two things you and many of us here in SOL should understant are, first, for Amxaro Somaali waa u Somaali whether one is their puppet or not. Expecting any mercy from them is as anything but believing in SANTA CLUAUSE. If Reyalee or anyone in this matter believe they will get a sympathy by merely showing such a high level of submissivness and by tetaining innocent people because they are from "certain" qabil is WRONG. In my ethincal boundary such a dabadhilifnimo is shameful not mention sharafdhac to the entire somali poplation.

Second, the truth is, your "lions" as you claim them to be are on a verge of dying. Soon the we will witness Ethiopia is divided into many part. And that is not my fantasy it is real. It is a matter of when. Being born and raised in Addis Ababa i deeply know what is going on in that part of the world far better than most in here.

About signing peace with weyanee, thank you for you advice, intaas may-san garanwaayin. No one detest peace, whereas, we a diginified peace. It seems, you recall the wabi shabele tragedy huh? And sadly you care less to what is happening to those helpless women and children suffering under Weyanee.

My last word to those dabodhilifs.. god khyayano ha qodin hadaad qodana ha dheereyn.

DISAPPERANCES

 

 

A number of refugees from the ****** region, handed over to the EPRDF by the authorities of Somaliland, have disappeared while in custody. The government of Prime Minister Meles Zenawi, denounced previously by SOCEPP for its gross violation of rights in the ******, has once again refused to give account of the "disappeared".

 

The following are some of the people handed over by Somaliland to the EPRDF at a border post called Baligubadle. The detainees were taken to Jijiga and consequently to Harar before being "disappeared". We have the names of the following:

 

1. Mukhtar Moalin Yusuf

2. Khadar Abdi Haji

3. Mustafa Sheikh

4. Hussein Moalin

5. Abdiaziz Ahmed

6. Badel aw Ahmed

7. Ahmed Dahir

8. Abdi Haji

 

The authorities in Somaliland have now detained many refugees from Ethiopia and there are reports that as of December 4/2003 a group of EPRDF security men are in Hargeisa trying to pick those they want from the detained refugees. It is to be noted that the authorities in Ethiopia and Somaliland have close relations on matters of security cooperation. Reportedly, at least two anti-EPRDF organizations, the ****** National Liberation Front and the Oromo Liberation Front have sympathizers amidst the refugees in Somaliland. There are also some officers and soldiers of the former military government of Mengistu Haile Mariam and most fear for their lives if they are to return to Ethiopia.
