The whole world knows that Ogaden is a closed zone where the Ethiopian despots in Addis Ababa do not want the world to know the genocide they perpetrate there daily. The world community has watched without doing anything about the Ethiopian despots’ expulsion of the very few, and brave, non-governmental organizations in Ogaden with the flimsiest of excuses.

The most ridiculous of such excuses include blaming, without any shred of evidence, impeccable humanitarian organizations with having ‘sympathy’ for the armed struggle spearheaded by the brave men and women of Ogaden. Let alone provide evidence to support their ridiculous claims, the Ethiopian despots, on many occasions, failed horrendously to even explain what having a ‘sympathy’ for the struggle meant.

Having realized that every trick they have used to bar humanitarian organizations from witnessing the genocide these despots perpetrate daily in Ogaden, they have, within the last two months, gone into an elaborate scheme to kidnap and kill the very few staff of the few remaining humanitarian organizations such as the World Food Program (WFP) in order to bar the WFP’s staff, for example, from setting foot in Ogaden.

The idea was to manufacture a ‘dangerous’ security situation and then use it to bar the few remaining humanitarian organizations from the entireregion. The Ethiopian despots carried out this plan almost to perfection around May 16th this year. They have killed one WFP’s staffer, wounded another, and taken two hostages while burning their vehicles.

Immediately, the Ethiopian despots claimed that the Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF) was behind this heinous crime against the humanitarian staffers of the WFP. ONLF to its credit not only rebutted the Ethiopian accusations, but they, ONLF leaders, explained in length the Ethiopian motives for the carrying out of these heinous crimes against the WFP staff.
