March 16, 2006 The Ogaden National Liberation front chairman, his honourable Adm. Mohamed Osman requested from the Ogaden Somali people to be vigilant of the new strategies currently being implemented at home and abroad by the Ethiopian occupational forces, in order to continue their divide and rule.

Honourable Mohamed Osman said that they, the Ethiopian occupational forces, were sustaining heavy casualties on the battle field inflicted on them by the ONLF army which in turn resulted in the generation of low morale within the army's rank and file. This low morale resulted in the neglect of the army's manpower to carry out assigned occupational duties within our homeland.

The ONLF chairman added that "the Ethiopian regime in Addis is tirelessly forced to
come up with new methods and means to defeat the on going people's struggle to win over their freedom". But he assured them, that they, the Ogaden Somali people, are able to see the success of their struggle and are witnessing at first hand that this regime is in its final days.

He added that "the Ogaden Somali people are well aware of the past tactics used by
this regime to pin one another for the only purpose of placing hinders to their on going struggle and brutalizing them both physically and emotionally with an unmanageable force consisting of torture, rape, and indiscriminative killings".

Today he said, "The Ogaden Somali people are feeling the jubilation of at last being free and the fact that they will achieve their long sought after desire to free themselves and that of their country from the Ethiopian military occupation very soon".

He advised them to remain patient and vigilant about the ever-changing tactics deployed by this dying regime in Addis who's living on a borrowed time.
