Reports that have reached the Ogaden Online service desk from Galaalshe town which is part of Nogob province confirm recent mass murder carried out by the Ethiopian military deployed in the area. According to eyewitnesses the mass murder took place in the city of Galaalshe on January 27, 2011.
Those reportedly killed in the murderous reign of the Ethiopian military and its associated Militia at Galaalshe are reported to include women, children, and the men of advancing age.The bodies of many of the civilians who were rounded up by the Ethiopian military personnel and its associated militia in the area have been found in the outskirts of the city showing severe signs of tortured. Some of the deceased were hanged from trees.
So far our reporters in the area were able to compile an initial list of the deceased that consists of 11 individuals. Their names include:
- Cabdullaahi Sooc (91 years old).
- Shukri Shakuul Cali
- Cabdullaahi Takhal
- Maxamad Qorone
- The Son of Qorane
- Xaashi Axmad Bisle
- Cabdi Badal Macalin Carab
- Suldaan
- Xassan Cabdi Nuur
- xubi AwxasSan
- Cabdi Halab Sheekh Maxamad.
These mass murder act, although not new, appear coordinated. They also are on the increase. Locals attribute to the increased mass murder act as the ‘only’ way the Woyane (Ethiopian) militias could retaliate against the recent heavy military losses they have sustained in the hands of the Ogaden National Liberation Army (ONLA) personnel.
Human rights organizations accuse the Ethiopian soldiers of violating the human rights by harassing the people in the Ogaden region.
