OGADEN NATIONAL LIBERATION FRONT (ONLF) The Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF) welcomes the efforts of the OAU, Algeria and the United States aimed at securing a conclusion and settlement to the senseless two-year war between Ethiopia and Eritrea. Recent engagements between our forces and Ethiopian occupation troops in Ogaden indicate that this is merely a temporary halt to focus attention on the ONLF and other liberation movements. As such, the ONLF and the people of Ogaden will not be surprised if the Ethiopian regime once again reverts to its saber rattling against its neighbors once it's military budget is replenished and economic pressures have subsided. www.onlf.org /PressRelease/onlf_dec21.htm

Ogaden National Liberation front (July 4, 2002)The Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF) in military operations conducted against Ethiopian occupation troops during the month of June 2002 killed 97 enemy soldiers and wounded over 50 others. Press release For the last three months Ethiopian colonial troops have increased the harassment and looting of the Ogaden Somali people, especially those near the border areas with Somalia, demanding supplies and logistics in order to finance Ethiopia's new venture to Somalia.

Peace and Unity Conference of the Somali Nation of Region 5 Nevertheless, the ONLF have managed to sustain a low-level military offensive against EPRDF forces in the Somali Region, ostensibly without significant external means of support (the Ogadeni Somali diaspora notwithstanding). Discussions with the ONLF delegation to the conference indicate that the organisation is highly sceptical of the Qabri Dahar meeting and suspicious of the motives of both the EPRDF, and of the ESDL (whom it accuses of collaborating with the government). ONLF delegates described the concept of a popular conference as camouflage, asserting that the meeting was in fact a fabrication of the Transitional Government and the League. www.sas.upenn.edu /African_Studies/EUE/qdahar0295.html

The Ogaden People: Past and Present Considering the burden of the long struggle of the Ogaden Somali people and cognisant of the value of resolving the long standing conflict between Ethiopia and the Ogaden people through peaceful means, the Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF) decided to give peace a chance and avert a costly and unnecessary war. 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.

Africa The Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) and the Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF), broke with the transitional government in 1992 and 1994 respectively and later launched armed insurgencies against the government. Recently formed radical Islamist groups, including the Islamic Front for the Liberation of Oromia, and Al Ithad Al-Islami (Islamic Unity), which operated in the Somali Region, fought sporadically with the government. In late September 1997, a U.S. official stated that the government was going to increase the levels of its military aid to these "front line states," while engaging the government of Sudan in an aggressive dialogue meant to press it into abandoning its support of Islamist groups in the region. www.hrw.org /worldreport/Africa-05.htm

Ethiopia There are 23 nationality groups in 6 of the region states that do not have a sufficient population to qualify for constituency seats, and as a result, the Government determined that individuals from these nationality groups would compete in 2000 for 23 special seats in addition to the 545-seat HPR. Exile is illegal, and the Constitution provides that citizens shall not be deprived of their nationality against their wills; however, since the outbreak of conflict with Eritrea in May 1998, the Government has detained and deported more than 67,000 Eritreans and Ethiopians of Eritrean origin on national security grounds. Although prompted by national security considerations, the expulsions and detentions raised fundamental concerns regarding arbitrary arrest and detention, forced exile, the forcible separation of families, and nationality issues, as well as the hardships and financial losses suffered by those who were detained or expelled. www.state.gov /g/drl/rls/hrrpt/1999/246.htm
