Recruiting for
Spooks within the Civil Servants |
Aug 24,
2006 Reports reaching our service desk
from many parts of Ogaden indicate that
Tigrey military officials leading the failed
campaign to uproot Ogaden National
Liberation Front (ONLF) from Ogaden are in
midst of the preparations to convene two
major gatherings, one in Jig Jiga and the
other in Godey.
It is reported that the so-called regional
state administration have been ordered to
help the military in getting large numbers
of the Ogaden civil servants to attend these
planned meetings. The two meetings are
planned for end of August, 2006.
Sources privy to the planning of these
meetings indicate that the intended audience
for these meetings are all teachers both
primary and high school, and all county
administrators throughout Ogaden.
One of our Ogaden Online and Radio Xoriyo
reporters who investigated the objectives
behind these meetings, have found out that
the mission is to recruit large number of
spooks within the ranks of teachers,
students and potentially within the heads of
the county administrations.
Sources who requested anonymity due to the
sensitivity surrounding the planned meetings
indicate that some military personnel are
not hopeful that spooks can be found within
the targeted communities. They add that the
military believes even if spooks are found
that many will be afraid to venture outside
cities which make their usefulness limited.
Sources add that a section of the so-called
regional administration and two individuals
said to be close to the Prime ministry’s
office appear to be the driving force behind
the planned meetings. It is this group that
believes a successful recruitment exercises
can be carried out within the ranks of the
targeted communities.
Our reporter in Nogob province believes that
ever since the Ethiopian military failed to
succeed in its mission to uproot ONLF from
Ogaden, the number of spies willing to
provide meaningful intelligence about ONLF
has diminished hence the need for new
recruitment exercises.
