Reports reaching the Ogaden Online service desk from the city of Godey confirm the imposition of a curfew on the city. It is reported that this curfew is effective from 6:00 PM in the evening until 6:00 AM in the morning.
It is reported that during the curfew hours neither car traffic nor people movement is allowed throughout the city. It is not knows what the real reasons for the imposition of the curfew are at a time when the Woyane regime was busy transporting individuals from many parts of Somalia into the city for what was billed as a ‘local gathering.’
There are conflicting reports about what prompted the regime to impose the curfew on the city. Sources closer to the Woyane militia heads in the city indicated that the curfew is meant as a way to closely monitor the movements of the former members of Al-Itihad, an organization labeled as a terror organization by the United States of America.
These Al-Itihad members who are masquerading as the United Western Somali Liberation Front (UWSLF) are the same folks the regime recently announced to have signed a peace treaty with.
Although these sources are adamant that these are the reasons for the curfew, at least from the Woyane perspective, there are other credible reports from sources within the city itself. These sources attribute the imposition of the curfew to the Woyane regime’s apprehension of the military threat posed by recent Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF’ army deployments within the city limits and its surroundings.
These sources believe that ONLF is poised to attack the city to make sure that Woyane and its Al-Itihad proxies do not hold what the sources believe to be a ‘publicity stunt’ billed as a local gathering of the UWSLF. It is said that the Addis Ababa regime which heavily invested in bringing this group and many journalists from Somalia for the coverage of the said gathering is wary of not being able to convene the meeting as planned.
As a way to paint itself as a victim, the Woyane regime and its head of the militia it calls as the ‘new police’, recent put out a press release where they blamed Eretria for having sent trained ONLF and OLF members for missions to disrupt the so-called local elections.
A respected political commentator in the horn put the regime’s blame of Eretria simply as a form of ‘political posturing.’ The expert pointed out the obvious fact that elections are not planned to be held in Ogaden until after August, full three months after the rest of Ethiopia votes.
