The recently publicised deal between China, Ethiopia and the Northern Somalia regional administration of Hargeisa regarding building a refinery in Berbera port of Somalia, a gas pipeline for Ogaden Gas and Oil, and a proposed road through Ogaden Somali Territory is a pipe dream that will not go beyond the drawing boards of those who hatched it.
The regime of Meles Zenawi, with the help of such groups as the Hargeisa administration is committing genocide in Ogaden by embargoing the people of the Ogaden at a time of famine and denying them trade while using aid as a weapon of war. Tens of thousands are perishing due to this and the War Crimes committed by Meles Zenawi Army (the so-called Ethiopian National Defence Forces).
Therefore, after extensive consultations with all sectors of the Ogaden Society, the Ogaden National Liberation Front and the Ogaden people have decided to undertake all necessary measures to defend their resources and territory against all involved in this unholy alliance against the people of Ogaden. Such measures will include diplomatic and legal action and if necessary armed resistance.
ONLF requests the international community to assist the Ogaden people in rebuffing this new threat that could re-ignite the cold-war again in the Horn of Africa. Hundreds of thousands of Ogaden people lost their lives due to the cold war of the sixties and seventies.

I believe anyone who collabarate with Ethiopian regime will enter the black history and thise will cause many innocent people to lost their lives. So, I would like to suggest that whoever involve the exploitation of Ogaden resource to take the responsiblity of the repercusion. Ogaden people are ready to defend their resource untill they get their rights and dignity.

ONLF is just a website. It doesn't matter what the bunch of ONLF thugs write or say, we are Ethiopian, full stop. But I do understand you need to say this and that occasionally just to convince your foreign backers that you are still active so that the money continue to flow. But yours and your backers dream is a pipe dream that will never fulfilled.

People are usually devoid of any reality. Gas was discovered in the 1950s in the Ogaden. There has been at minimum 20 different attempts in the 60 years to explore this gas and none has succeeded. The reason is that the legitimate owners of these resources are even denied a simple percentage to also invest in their land. What these people are trying is to benefit while conspiring to deny the owners of these resources any benefit. Does this have any legal or moral standing? That is the reason why the almighty has never blessed this injustice. What is a pipe dream is this self-grandiose name called Somaliland. 23 years and nothing but folks that produce nothing and life of the welfare of their relatives who are on Welfare in the west.

asalamu alaikum,
Ithink this deal is unpractical and inhuman. Somali people are one. They may decide to go seperate ways but they are one family. Oil and Gas in Ogaden belong to the somali people living in that region. who ever wants to exploit it has to get permission from them. not from Somaliland or The ethipian government. I expected better that from Siilaanyo. I am from Somaliland and against this deal. At least it is wrong and immoral otherwise it is criminal.

The latest stunt by the triangle administration of Hargesa in trying to get recognition from a third world country that lives on food aid. Shame on them and anyone who tries to deffend their actions. I wonder the type of history such people would have?
It would suck to be them in the near future and for the long run as well.

Ofcourse it has everything to do with recognition, why else would you be selling out your fellow somalis?
don't ever try to question my intelect, for it would come and bite the stupidity out of you.

GUYS forget about moral & shit, IT DOESN'T MAKE SENCE ECONOMICALLY FOR CHINA. I wouldn't worry about this, cause no one in their right freaking mind would even considerrrrr dumbing MILLIONS of dollars on some bodies backyard with out their CONSENT!!!! THOSE PROJECTS COST ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY as u can imagine
if there is one principle more deeply rooted in the hearts & minds of every OGADENIAN is that we are NOT GOING ANY WHERE!!!! THIS IS OUR COUNTRY & WILL STAY THAT WAY IN ANY COST.
AS FAR AS THE SUPPORTERS OF THE PIPE DREAM ALL I CAN SAY IS DREAM ON BABY!!!
OGADENIA HA XOROWDO

Bring it on china, you and your two black dogs in the horn of africa.
do the chines forget all about obale 2007? or am i dreaming that they are willing to come back ones again.
well we all know how to defend our people, land, and religion. what more could you ask us (the soldiers of sayid mohamed abdille hassan) then.
to somalilander i think you lost your road map, you better go back to it becouse you aint gonna get recognition in this kind of collaboration with dirty ethiopians.
to those who are willing to know more about ogaden somali people and their land they should search for who is onlf and i would suggest that the best anwser lies with the wyane dictatorship ragime.

2- About CHINA fact is they have excelled world economy over the past 20yrs they own most DEBTS of the west today YET they are some-what IRRELEVANT, 300 million chineas rose from poverty to middle class recently but have no where to go BECAUSE OF LACK OF ENERGY SOURCE, soooo that gives the CHINA gov a blind-ambition to get energy. BUT HOW COULD THEY FORGET COBOLE,? wellll i tell ya this CHINA-MAN IF YOU THINK COBOLE WAS A FLUKE, TRY MEEE NOW BABY.
3- regarding Somaliland: while there are many of them that are genuine, but let me say this those seemed they forgot the HISTORY OF THE LAND, ADEER DHULKAN WAXAA ISKA LEH RAGII GEELAAGII OO XERYAHAAGA KUJIRA QAYBSAN-JIRAY OKKK, HALGANKA AAN GAALADA KULAJIRO OO HALMAALIN ISTAAGIN BAAN HAL QOYS OO REER OGADENIA AH OON INTAA KAA HOJOOGAY BAAAAN WALEE KUGU SOO KICIN don't let the new world bullshit fool you brah...
"necessity is the plea of every infringement of human freedom. it's argument of tyrants, it's the creed of slave".... to my fellow Reer Ogadenia we are almost there, show them they cant deny your existence.

We are not against development, but being exploitated on the pretext of development. Development without the consent of the natives is exploitation. Thats exactly what you are doing, so don't fool yourself, friend.
