The Zack Posted January 14, 2011 O.N.L.F Statement On South Sudan Referendum 14 January 2011 In 1981 the OAU committee mediating between Somalia and Ethiopia regarding the conflict in the Og’aden ,declared that the Og’aden is part of Ethiopia. That decision was based on the 1964 resolution of the OAU promulgated in Cairo regarding the sanctity of the African borders left by colonialism. That unjust resolution in no way took into account the aspirations of the people of Og’aden and wrongly portrayed the Og’aden conflict as a border dispute between two States when it is infact a conflict borne from the desire of the Og’aden people for self-determination. Despite the AU turning a blind eye to the plight of the Og’aden people and it's lack of interest in addressing the root causes of the Og’aden conflict, the decision to allow the people of the South Sudan to take a referendum to decide their destiny is a great day for all people denied their rights to self-determination in Africa. President Bashir of Sudan is to be commended for agreeing to this bold and visionary step forward in the interest of justice and peace This vote represents a precedent affirming that there is no longer a moral or so-called legal basis for denying the Og’aden people their legitimate rights to self-determination and that the AU bears a direct responsibility to address protracted conflicts which require a comprehensive political solution especially when those conflicts are based on the legitimate aspirations of African peoples to achieve self-determination. The fact of the matter is that the Og’aden people will achieve their rights through a protracted peoples’ struggle whether the current or future Ethiopian regimes like it or not. It would be appropriate for the AU and peace loving nations to be on the right side of history and address the Og’aden conflict with the same energy and interest afforded the South Sudan conflict. The AU should not wait for Genocide to take on unimaginable proportions before engaging itself in this conflict. The fact that the Ethiopian regime is engaged in war crimes and crimes against humanity in Og’aden is well documented. Og’aden warrants AU intervention now.

The Zack Posted January 14, 2011 "Ninkii Qeyrii Loo Xiiroow Soo Qoyso" was a popular Somali proverb. Meles and his Ethiopia should now undertstand that there is no power in this world that can keep the people of Western Somalia in that cage any more. Run Meles, run! Run before that ONLF soldier shoots u right at the face! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Xaaji Xunjuf Posted January 14, 2011 Indeed The og'aden is not a conflict between two countries but between an Oppressive Regime in Adis ababa versus some of the people of that region. There is no Somalia attached to the Og'aden struggle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
