Ethiopian Rebels Threaten China, Somaliland Over Gas, Oil Pipeline

[Jacaylbaro]

Text of press release in English entitled “Unholy tripartite deal between China, Ethiopia and Hargeysa Administration” issued by the Ethiopian rebel ****** National Liberation Front (ONLF) published on official website of Ethiopia`s rebel ****** National Liberation Front on 24 August

 

The recently publicized deal between China, Ethiopia and the northern Somalia regional administration of Hargeysa [somaliland] regarding building a refinery in Berbera port of Somalia, a gas pipeline for ****** [southeastern Ethiopia] gas and oil, and a proposed road through ****** Somali territory is a pipe dream that will not go beyond the drawing boards of those who hatched it.

 

The regime of [Prime Minister] Meles Zenawi, with the help of such groups as the Hargeysa administration is committing genocide in ****** by embargoing the people of the ****** at a time of famine and denying them trade while using aid as a weapon of war. Tens of thousands are perishing due to this and the war crimes committed by Meles Zenawi army (the so-called Ethiopian National Defence Forces).

 

Since the Chinese company is aware that Ethiopia is committing those crimes, the decision to assist Meles Zenawi to exploit forcefully ****** resources, constitutes an act of war against the ****** people.

 

Therefore, after extensive consultations with all sectors of the ****** society, the ****** National Liberation Front [ONLF] and the ****** people have decided to undertake all necessary measures to defend their resources and territory against all involved in this unholy alliance against the people of ******. Such measures will include diplomatic and legal action and if necessary armed resistance.

 

ONLF requests the international community to assist the ****** people in rebuffing this new threat that could reignite the Cold War again in the Horn of Africa. Hundreds of thousands of ****** people lost their lives due to the cold war of the sixties and seventies.
