Masuulka Qaramada Midoobay ee gargaarka oo booqasho ku tagaya Ogaadeenya

John Holmes oo ah ku xigeenka Xoghaye guud ee Qaramada Midoobay u qaabilsan arrimaha gargaarka ayaa la filayaa in uu booqasho labo maalmood ah ku bixiyo Ogaadeenya bishan dhamaadkeeda si uu u soo komeero howlaha QM ka wadaan gobalkaasi, hoowlahaa oo bilaabmay isbuucyo ka hor, iyo sidoo kale in uu indhihiisa ku soo arko dhibaatooyinka ciidamada gumeeysiga u geesteen dadka iyo dalka Ogaadeenya.

Masuulkan ayaa la kulmi doona Odayaasha dhaqanka ee Ogaadeenya si uu u helo wabixin waafi ah kuna saabsan baaxada aay gaarsiisan tahay dhibaatada Ogaadeenya ka taagan. Booqashada Mr, John Holmes ayaa ah tii ugu horeeysay oo sarkaal sare oo ka tirsan QM uu ku tago Ogaadeenya tan iyo sanadkii 2003.

Waxaan degdeg sanayaa booqashadan, si markaa QM u hubiso in dadka maatada ah u helaan daryeelka iyo caawinta eey uga baahan yihiin bulshada caalamka ayuu yiri Mr, Holmes. Isagoo hadalkiisa sii raaciyay in uu filayo in uu arko dowlada itoobiya oo si daacad ah ugu istaagta sidii loo hormarin lahaa xaalada bani’aadanimo ee Ogaadeenya is la markaana wada shaqeeyn aan xagal daacin lahayn arintan kala yeelata bulshada caalamka.

Mr, Holmes wuxuu tagi doonaa magaalooyinka Jigjiga iyo Qabridahare, goobahaa oo aay ku yaalaan xafiisyada heeyadaha QM ee ka howl gala Ogaadeenya. Dhamaadka safirkiisana wuxuu qaban doonaa war saxaafadeed ku saabsan wixii ka soo baxay socdaalkiisa.

19 heeyadood oo caalami ah ayaa waqtigan xaadirka ah ka howl gala Ogaadeenya, laakiinse aan heeysan xornimo buuxda oo aay ku tagi karaan meeshii aay doonaan si ay waajibkooda u gutaan. Mr, Holmes ayaa la filayaa in uu ku qasbo in itoobiya siiso xornimo buuxada oo xaga dhaqdhaqaaqa ah heeyadaha gargaarka sida uu dhigayso shuruucda caalamiga ah. Dhibaatooyinka gumeeysiga itoobiya ka wado Ogaadeenya ayaa ah kuwa joogto ah iyadoo xusuuqii ciidamada cadowga ka geesteen Ogaadeenya ugu danbeeysay weeraradii xaga cirka ahaa oo aay ku xasuuqeen dad reer miyi ah iyo xoolihii aay dhaqanayeen.

Hadaba waxaa loogu baaqayaa daweynaha reer Ogaaeenya guud ahaan, gaar ahaana Odayaasha dhaqanka ee la kulmi doona wafidgan in eey ka faa’ideeystaan fursadan is la markaana siiyaan saraakiishan ka socota QM warbixin dhameeystiran kuna saabsan dhibaatooyinka foosha xun ee nooc walbaleh oo aay itoobiya kula kacdo shacbiga gumeeysi diidka ah ee Ogaadeenya. Is la markaana muujiyaan in eey yihiin umad gumeeysi ku hoos jirta xalka rasmiga ahna uu yahay in umada Ogadenya hesho xuquuqdooda aasaasiga ah oo ay ugu horeeyso xaqa aaya-katashiga. Tan ayaa ah mida kaliya ee damaanad qaadi karta nabad waarta oo aay helaan shucuubta Geeska Afrika.

DADAAB, Kenya, Nov 19 (Reuters) - It was after the second beating by Ethiopian soldiers that Abdi Bashi Jama says he decided to head for the border.

But though separated from family, far from his home village in Ethiopia’s eastern Ogaden region, and a refugee rather than a shop-owner now, Jama considers himself lucky.

“The last time they attacked the village, they collected many men and took them away,” he said, pausing in the early afternoon heat of a refugee camp in north-east Kenya.

“Some guys were hung on trees, nooses round their necks until they died … I saw it.”

Similar harrowing testimony — dismissed as rebel propaganda by the Ethiopian government — was repeated by various Ogaden refugees who have trickled recently into different parts of Kenya’s massive Dadaab camps, home to 170,000 refugees.

In separate interviews, the Ogadenis claimed Ethiopian soldiers had been entering villages over-and-over again to kill, rape and burn in a campaign to flush out rebels of the Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF).

Stories of shooting, hanging, beating and rape abound.

“My village was attacked more than 10 times. There is a great genocide going on. Why does the international community not intervene?” added Jama, standing among a crowd of refugees near their threadbare shelters of branches and plastic.

There is, in fact, growing international concern over the Ogaden crisis since the Ethiopian military this year launched an unprecedented offensive against the separatist insurgents.

That followed the separatist rebels’ most dramatic attack to date, on an oil-field in April, that killed 74 people.

Annoyed at the foreign pressure it has been feeling over Ogaden, Ethiopian government officials say tales of massive rights abuses by its soldiers are a smokescreen to hide atrocities by the rebels against the population.

They say the ONLF is a terrorist group backed by Ethiopia’s arch-enemy Eritrea and linked to Muslim extremists in Somalia.

Whatever the truth, the Ogaden crisis has become yet another factor — adding to the Somalia conflict, and the Ethiopia-Eritrea border dispute — destabilising the Horn of Africa, one of the world’s poorest and most war-prone regions.

“WE DREAM OF FREEDOM”

The effect of the Ogaden crisis is being felt in neighbouring Kenya, where more Ogadenis than usual have been trickling into the three Dadaab camps, although the vast majority of refugees are still those fleeing the Somalia war.

“We have been noticing more from Ogaden, especially in the past two months,” said Amy Wordley, external relations officer in Dadaab for the world body’s refugee agency UNHCR.

“They just say the fighting has brought them here, and speak of travelling for about three weeks.”

Osman Omar Abdi’s journey from the Ogaden district of Jarar began in May after, he says, his wife was shot dead in front of him, his six children scattered, and his house burned during a chaotic morning raid by foot-soldiers.

“The Ethiopians say that all the Ogaden people are part and parcel of the ONLF, they don’t differentiate, so they kill everyone,” he said, displaying a scar on his hand that he described as a bullet-wound.

“I heard the grandparents got three of my children. I don’t know about the others,” added Abdi, revealing at the end of an interview that he had been a “member of the ONLF resistance.”

Another Ogadeni in Dadaab, Yusuf Hashi Ahmed, said he fled his home village in Bali district during an army attack at the end of 2006, leaving his family behind.

The former pastoralist farmer crossed into Somalia and reached the southern city of Kismayu, only to flee again when Ethiopian troops advanced on Islamist fighters there during the ousting of Somalia’s Islamic Courts Union over the New Year.

“Here, I have peace. But I have lost everything else,” he said, squatting under a thornbush. “The army were given the wrong information, that the ONLF was in my village. Some were killed, others were injured. I had to flee, I was frightened.”

As ethnic Somalis, the Ogadenis blend unobtrusively into Somalia and north Kenya, which is almost entirely populated by Somali people. They also cross porous borders easily, making a mockery of the supposed closure of the Kenya-Somalia border.

NAIROBI (Reuters) - Ethiopia’s Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF) rebels said on Sunday they had killed another 270 government troops in heightened fighting in the remote eastern region of the Horn of Africa nation.

Most were blown up in packed trucks, the rebels said.

Prime Minister Meles Zenawi’s government has regularly denied ONLF reports of mass casualties as propaganda from the its foreign supporters. It has itself reported many deaths on the rebel side during its offensive against them this year.

No independent assessment of casualties has been possible as the region is effectively off-limits to foreign journalists and is also often difficult to access for aid workers.

The Ogaden conflict is the worst of several insurgencies that Meles’ government faces in the outer regions of Ethiopia.

Security forces launched an unprecedented offensive against the ONLF, which wants more autonomy for the arid region, after it killed 74 people during a raid on a Chinese-run oil exploration field earlier this year.

In its latest “military communique”, the ONLF said “large numbers” of its fighters had engaged government troops in five places between Oct 26-Nov 1 due to “summary executions, detentions of nomads and senseless shooting of livestock”.

“These engagements resulted in over 270 TPLF (government) troops killed with an unconfirmed number wounded. Five military transport vehicles were destroyed by RPG-7s. The transport vehicles were full of troops when they were struck,” it said.

“Military engagements between ONLF troops and TPLF forces in the Ogaden have increased significantly over the last two weeks. This increase appears to be a coordinated and deliberate escalation in armed conflict initiated by the TPLF regime despite the humanitarian crisis in the Ogaden.”

Ethiopian officials were not immediately available for fresh comment on the latest ONLF statement. Last month, the rebels also claimed they had killed 250 soldiers in other fighting.

The ONLF gave no information of its own casualties.
