Ogaden Online: The official homepage of Ogaden on the Internet

Guys, we are proud of you as you are doing a good job for the people of Ogaden. I wish this website wouldn't get a bad image from its visitors by posting articles which some people see as offensive to them. I read the article was all about Abdirashid Dulane, one of the biggest Dabaqoodhis but some readers misunderstood the whole topic by seeing the writter as a deffender of a tribe while he mentioned name of "clan"(s)....

to be removed was what most readers would like, but we are needed not to get in the way. you go ahead. FREEEEEEEE OGADENIA

Hey Haradigeed,

The article is not removed. Navigate the sie and you will see it..:-)

I regret leading Ogaden online to this debacle of sort. I have no regrets whatsoever though in exposing the dangrous machinations of sell-outs. In hindsight, it should have been possible to stick to the bigger picture while dismantling the bad guys. In politics, they say to be ahead of the rest of the crowd is not only dangerous, it is also a symptom of poor leadership. That rule should apply to writers as well. That there are people who are so sensitive and so delicate to the issues of tribe even when all that is said is so-and-so uses this-and-that tricks to sow disharmony is an indictment of our society, more than it is a sign of recklessness on my part. But I have to agree with Ogaden online that it didn't fit this particular websites pedigree. As the author, I have no problem if removed.

And there is no hate towards the said man, but only to his political persona. When and if he turns the corner, the author shall duly chronicle that and apologise to him as well.

Mowlid your being way too kind in separating the man from his politics (servitude is more appropriate). he is, what he has been doing for the longest time of his career. i understand your rush to political correctness, and ogaden online's sensitivity to its spectrum of readers, but this is the wrong fellow to afford these type of niceties.

while i am intrigue at this men's contention with the said tribe i am troubled by the lack of attention (in which you address to some extent) to the bigger problems in the region. the irony of scavengers fighting over left-overs is just disheartening. specially when the "left-overs" resemble the lives of innocent people. i have enjoyed reading many article that shed light on the beleaguered situation of the people in the ogaden region on ogaden.com and as the situation boils over into the diaspora communities articles similar to yours provide us an invaluable insight to who were dealing with. thank you kindly.

Apology! you are right dude !

In this situation who is fooling who? Guys,let me tell you this, people are not stupid and they are understanding very well that your mission was accomplished.The damage was done my friend.Well,the people known that you would be giving an "apology " at end just to seal stamp and close the topic.
Did you(onlf) think the public views controlled by your stupid cadre?"

Clearly, we all (including the author) are now on the same page. I think the writer clearly explained in his past comment that the mention of clan x was a slip of the pen and not intended.

It is and should always be about the people of Ogaden in totality, that we are concerned about regardless of the differences that identify the units among them. No one is spared in the hands of the barbaric and brutal wayane and their shameless dabaqoodhis. History will judge them harshly, no matter how many articles/comments we write in defense of against perpetrators of the active genocide against the people of Ogaden.

To my fellow country me/women, Let us carefully guard against any display of emotions on our official pages that may give the enemy the slightest sense of disunity among us or give them the opprtunity to divide us even as we obvious recall and naturally react to one past painful memories or another.

History is about be made in Ogaden just as it's currently done in South Sudan, It is only now that have to choose the page on which we wish to appear .

Ogaden online, we treasure you, please focuss on what units us more than what divides us.

I chose not to respond to you for the sole reason that the Ogaden Online decided to write an apology & remove the articles from its HEADLINES,..

I would have made sure that my response where addressed to Ogaden Online editorial rather than you, a deceptive, narrow minded, hater and divider of a community that needs any meaningful way to lend a hand to its people that lost everything in a senseless & endless war.

My writing would have been more in line with Chinua Achebe’s 'THINGS FALL APART' as the ‘assumed’ concept of Ogaden Editorial to its ‘loyal audience’ were defending the rights of the Ogaden-Somalis in Ethiopia, but apparently their headlines revealed the truth behind its existence in the first place. Good news to those who knew what it stands for in the first place and bad news for those who just got awakened and shocked with the headlines of an Ambassador so and so hates sub clan X & supports sub clan Y.

While I am not in any way here to defending the Ambassador Mr. Dulane, it is appalling to see the beginning of an end of an era of your so called advocacy & existence in the first place. The fact the matter is I rarely read your editorials in the first place and I lost when all I read was lies after lies. And that was long time ago thanks in part to good friends of mine who send this headlines via email and in so I decided to respond to the editorial.

For those who believed Ogaden Online Editorial was a hub for the hopeless to get news and advocacy here is my message there is no hope for our hopeless people in Ogaden and I therefore urge you to seek any other opportunity of hope including and not limited to pursuing all other PEACE DEALS open to our Community at home & aboard so those who survived from the endless war can get opportunity of new beginning in line with the current peace deals that is taking place in the region.

For those of us who always believed there is much that we can accomplish, we will continue to do so without ever wanting to know what sub-clan X gives, hates, loves, shares, marries to sub clan Y as the Paranoid Author would have wanted us to believe. We are too civilized to even mention sub clans of Ogadens when we have a lot to accomplish Mr. Paranoid Author for our kids are dying of hunger, preventable disease and because of your misleading war it’s hard that the NGOs cannot operate the region to safely help the poor people that are desperately in need of humanitarian assistance.

Hope I said enough..

Indecency, insanity, and damn right poor journalism. few are the words that i am able to fit in this box let alone describe this abomination and violation of journalistic integrity. I will not even begin to fully refute your claims with a rebuttal for i need a longer stretch of words to wholly voice my utter disgust for this distasteful report.

From the beginning it is obvious that this report is dishonest and even bias yet it is the sheer TRIBALISM driven message, however much concealed with fancy wording and seemingly patriotic rhetoric, that gets me. let me repeat that for those who are now dizzy with astonishment that someone has the ability to contradict nay accuse the untouchable "patriotic" authors, I SAID TRIBALISM IS AT HAND FELLOW OGADENIS and it is striking each and every one of you in the face.

This author using his fox news style of writing sweetly described by an American as the "scare'em 'till they believe us approach" has used fear mongering targeting more specifically the Reer Cabdile clan by re-heating bad blood that from the start was non existent. I consider myself a big supporter for the cause and i have done my part however small it may be by singing to the best of my ability usually preaching for all of Ogadenis and all Somalis to come together for the greater good. but it seems my efforts were futile if such nonsense is being passed for good journalism.

This man being insulted is a public figure not just for a sub clan but for an entire province. He is an Elder and should be treated with respect as i treat other Elders who were or still are part of the Ethiopian Agenda such as Mahdi Ayuub. During his time in office Mr Dulane was known famously for the public support he enjoyed and at one time was even protected when the civilians all across the Ogaden held protests. his time was a time were violence was rare and stability was very much noticeable. Although Editors have apologized the article still exists with in there website and i condemn them too. i request please and please take this article out this is diminishing our pride and our respect for the editors

Thank you.

Well, it says as much about where your loyalty lies in this duel.


Abdikhaliq also thinks useless elders should be respected. By the way, whose elder is Abdirashid? And in any case, you lied big time about the situation in the region when he was President.

Yes, Abdirashid is a servant leader and he knows at the bottom of his heart that his people and country are under occupation. Let us give him a chance to assume his newly given post and see how he serves and engages with HIS people in the UK. May be he has a different formula with which to address the issue of the struggle. Who knows!! However, Mr. Abdirashid knows that we will accept from him or any other human being such a formula if it is not in line with the interest of our people as far as their right to self-determination is concerned.

In the first place they pretend being self-effacing, anti-colony, anti-tribalism and defenders of our dignity from the evil woyane. Their real color is known. They are the lackeys and paranoid double agents. Who is Abdirashid Dulane and who gonna defend him?... why do they call him an elder and representative of a certain province ?. Are they not the ones the article identifies as they are so upset of telling the truth about dabaqodhis and their ill actions against our noble civilians.
Someone called herself Ladan said “Paraniod Website and Its Paranoid Auther” she continued by uttering “because of your misleading war it’s hard that the NGOs cannot operate the region to safely help the poor people that are desperately in need of humanitarian assistance” maxaa wax la arki.
Dabaqoodhis, falaadh gilgilasho kaagama hadho..

why are you so worrying guyz? You just seem to be other traitors who never eager to see the revealing of the truth about their sickness and selfishness…… I can insult Abdirashid and all dabaqoodhis, generally and individually how I feel like because I know who they are. And anyone tries to hide behind the screen and tries to post some nonsense comments are just same as those sell outs in Jigjiga….

Cuucay dabaqoodhi

Most of the fake anger is coming from a small section of Dabaqoodhi's who want to give the impression that Abdirashid is wronged and the article was about clans.

They have so far managed in changing the direction of the discussion away from the real matter. Which is that Abdirashid is actually saying those horrible things in private. Can they dispute that? He is mobilising people for Meles using the old tricks of clanish talk. Exposing that is not a crime. Let us challenge the stoogs to refute that allegation. Abdirashid knows to who he said those words and probably has an idea about who is reporting it here. He should just look around himself.

You said "I can insult Abdirashid and all dabaqoodhis" what is that it means?
I think some of you(onlf cadres) had been misunderstanding about the struggle of freedom fighting.To liberate your oppressed Ogaden Somali peoples from Abyssinian occupation army,it doesn't meant to insult a people who have different opinions and who might disagrees with your struggle approaches.
Honestly,to lament the people bad names and that calling them a traitors (dabaqoodhi) it really doesn't helping the struggle of any liberation fronts. It rather destructs the unity of your own people.And hey you know better than me what it follows after that.
Having said that, my dear fellow ,Then I realized that our people are not ready yet to govern alone.The Somalis are typically the same.So good example is Somalia.Look,after sixty years where they are.I believe we would be the same of Somalia.Oh! look at the ONLF alone? they can't even resolve a minor things until small conflict it leads a wider and a major conflict that splits them into two groups.Guys,think about it without emotionally throwing stones against the strongest military armed with the best sophisticated modern weapon.It was a saying that " If you can't win the war then join the enemy" it means live them with peace and except your weaknesses. ONLF,that in reality,you can win against 80 million Ethiopians.So let us live on in the reality and stop that serving the Eratra interest.It isn't our interest to continue the bogs liberation fronts.Please,stop sining the faked superficial patriotism songs.Instead why not taking the peace and leading the nation to the progress venue ways.Rather than now,that disturbing the peace of the region and leading the nation to the destructive dead end road.The truth is you can't liberate Ogaden by the gun force.On the other hand,that Ethiopian flag above the clouds in everywhere of Somalia.So are you telling us that a simple fragile onlf org is going to liberate Somaliwayin from Ethiopia? Come on guys and be realistic.Is that your onlf is NATO or WARSO army? What it illusionary onlf life stylishness.Go ahead and liberate the the country of Ogadenia!!!

I conjecture those of you who tending to prevent some criminals because of clannish. I believe the author has a right to mention his opinion and even to reveal the true heart of useless people in Addis Abab. I don’t care if he is my brother or my uncle, what is going is a war between the people of Ogaden and Tplf who genocide every day our innocent people. And it seems that Mr. Dulane is a part of what so-called tplf regime. If you believe Dulane, Iley and other who are denying the right of freedom, the right of innocent people then you are charlatan

Dear landan, if you are not attentive to Ogaden line, then no need to respond any article that they post on their website. If you don't believe freedom Ogaden, Freedom of speech, freedom of human, so you could stay away Ogaden online. You can be cakaara online where Ina ileey and other post their rubbish.

Meel aan loo joogin baad ka bus kicisay. dabaqoodhi aniguna maan taageerin laakin anoonan wax cidna u dhimin ayaan wixii dood ahaa ka qayb galay oon waliba xaq u leeyahay. waxaad se iiga dhigtay nin ka soo jeeda kuwa aan la dagaalamayay shalay macnaha halgankana ma fahansanid adiga oo kale ayaana wax kala tuura. meesha aan iska qaban la'nahayna waa maskaxgaab adoo kale ah. adoo dood kale kuu banaan yahay inaad aniga sidaa aad ila hadasho waa arin qiira leh.
