	Ogaden Human Rights Committee
		Forcible repatriation of civilians from the Ogaden is in full swing despite the concern and apprehension expressed by the Somali elders, community leaders and religious scholars in Somaliland and Puntland.
		Many refugees from the Ogaden who were forcibly returned to Ethiopia have since disappeared in the notorious military detention camps throughout Ethiopia and were never seen again by their loved ones while others were tortured to death.
		The Ogaden Human Rights Committee condemns these acts of killing, torture, arbitrary arrests and forcible repatriation of refugees from the Ogaden from the neighbouring countries and demands the unconditional and immediate release of all detainees from the Ogaden who are being detained currently in Puntland and Somaliland.

		VIEWS OF The Ogaden Somali territory lies between Oromia to the West, Afar land to the Northwest, the Republic of Djibouti to the north, Kenya to the south and The Somali Republic to the east.
		Moreover in the Ogaden, EPRDF forces and Tigrean dealers, who have been given concessions and game-licences by the Ethiopian government, which is dominated by ethnic Tigreans, are devastating the poor and the fragile ecological balance by widespread exploitation and depletion of forests for military purposes, firewood and charcoal.
		Ethiopia has colonised the Ogaden people and is viciously continuing that colonial legacy in spite of the change of regime in Addis Ababa and the Ogaden people categorically state that the present regime of EPRDF is not different from the rule of it predecessors in substance.

	The Ogaden People: Past and Present
		The Ogaden Somali territory lies between Oromia to the west, Afar to the north-west, the Republic of Djibouti to the north, Kenya to the south and the Somali Republic to the east.
		Moreover in the Ogaden, the EPRDF forces and Tigrean dealers who have been given concessions and licences by the Ethiopian government dominated by ethnic Tigreans, are devastating the poor and the fragile ecological balance by widespread exploitation and depletion of forests for military purposes, firewood and charcoal.
		It is incumbent upon the Ogaden people to call upon the current EPRDF regime ruling Ethiopia to desist from its current militaristic and aggressive attitude and accept a peaceful negotiated settlement of the current conflict between the Ogaden people and Ethiopia with the participation of third neutral parties from the international community.

	IRIN - Ethiopia: Special Report on the Ogaden, 11 May 2000
		The entire Ogaden region was ceded by the British to Ethiopia by 1955 despite protests by the Ogadeni Somalis, who saw the region as a geographical and political continuation of a wider Somalia.
		The broader effect of Ethiopia's operations in the Ogaden and Somalia region has been, according to one regional analyst, to put additional pressure on populations "already destitute by decades of conflict in the region, who lack livestock, who are unable to rely on local clan support, and who have been recently impoverished by fighting".
		The ethnic Somali population in the Ogaden generally remains suspicious of the intentions of a central government and tends to remain outside the mainstream political process in the country.

	OGADEN: NO RIGHTS, NO DEMOCRACY
		Government offices in the Ogaden have been purged of anyone whose views were judged hostile to the state, and replaced by Tigreans or those who support the government policies.
		The Ogaden people had suffered from a century of repression, victimization and exploitation under the successive alien Ethiopian governments, and there is growing disillusionment with the current EPRDF government.
		So, as long as the Ogaden people are marginalized and their inalienable right to independence and self-determination is denied, the international community will continue to witness more human rights violations, and more bloodshed, which may lead to the annihilation of entire Ogadeni nation by the Ethiopian government.

	The Adirondack Review: In Translation (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Ogaden is a plateau of steppes, almost flat, generally sloping to thesoutheast: its height is presumably half of that of the mountains of Harar (1800 meters).
		In Ogaden Major, heavy rains in the mountains of Harar and Boursouque cause temporary torrents and light floods which, when they occur, call the tribes in that direction. In dry times, on the other hand, there is a general movement to return to the Wabi.
		The general appearance of the Ogaden is of tall grass steppes, full of stony lacunas. The trees, at least in the parts explored by our explorers, are those of the Somali deserts: mimosa, gum, etc. However, near the Wabi, the population is sedentary and agrarian.

		Ogaden elders may accept that these channels remain open, as long as the movement ceases all other activity.

		The regime eye in Ogaden is not about Islamists expansion but to subjugate the Somalis to sign their land to foreign companies and their home grown Mafia collaborators.

		In 1977 and 1978, Somali forces invaded the Ogaden and attempted to incorporate the area into Somalia—but were badly beaten by Ethiopia's much larger, Soviet supplied armed forces.
		Somalia still claims the Ogaden, however, and the recent Ethiopian incursions followed claims by Somali irregulars that they planned to mount a new offensive there.
		The U.S. position is based on a decision made by the Organization of African Unity, by which the frontiers of African countries—inherited from the days of Western colonial rule—would be regarded as permanent and not subject to adjustments in accordance with the ethnic distribution of Africa's population.
