As the wisdom goes: no easy walk to freedom. Putting it in another way: short term pain, long term gain. Lets consider that atrocities committed by TPLF and their crime associates against our people are paasing short term hardship or difficult. The road to freedom is often littered with pain and obstacles. What is important and required from us though is patience, persistence and determination; and right and steady leadership so that our journey will be successful and sweet.
Meanwhile we should appreciate and cherish the fact that the Ogadeni populace and ONLF leadership have both proved to possess what it takes to wage a lonely but successful struggle even when odds against them seemed insurmountable. They worked hard and stayed true to the three words: determination, unity and self-reliance--ONLF's slogan.
We should be grateful for hailing from and belonging to such a proud people and struggle. I know I do.

Stupid ogadens always showing the same hut they properly burned it themselves after they tried to cook since ogadens dont know how to use fire.
Give us something new stop telling the same lies.
