Reports reaching our service desk from the town of Dhanaan confirm the arrest and detention of twenty civilians, the detention of these civilians took place on August 9th 2010.
Local sources privy to the inner workings of the Ethiopian forces deployed in the town of Dhanaan reported that all twenty people are currently held within the military garrison. Relatives of the some detained females are said to be wary of the possibility of their female relatives being raped by the Ethiopian militias.
Rape is becoming the most potent weapon used by the Ethiopian military against the Ogaden civilians. Civilians living closer to the military garrison where these innocent females are held report the screams of the females day and night as it appears they might be tortured
