Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF)
Military Communique’
October 22, 2007
Battles continued for a second day yesterday near Wardheer in Ogaden with TPLF regime casualties rising to over 250 killed and an unconfirmed number wounded. Twelve military vehicles which had been part of a TPLF regime counter offensive and dispatched from Qabri-Dahar were destroyed. Thus far, 13 TPLF regime officers including a Colonel and a Captain have been killed in battles around Wardheer during the last two days. The ONLF has in its possession the military ID’s of many of those officers. ONLF casualties have been light given the scope of the engagements.
The TPLF regime counter-offensive against ONLF forces began at mid-day yesterday 21st October with TPLF
regime troops attacking ONLF forces at 5 different locations near Wardheer. The counter-offensive involved nearly 1,500 TPLF regime troops in the theater.
ONLF forces have repulsed the counter offensive and have now surrounded a large number of TPLF regime
troops in the area near Wardheer. These surrounded troops are being urged to surrender with guarantees
that they will not be harmed if they do so.
Any surrendering troops who wish to join the armed forces of organizations allied to the ONLF such as the
Oromo Liberation Front (OLF), Sidama Liberation Front (SLF) or Ethiopian Peoples Patriotic Front (EPPF) will
be transferred to those organizations.
Battles near Wardheer are expected to continue in the coming days and the ONLF will provide further
information as appropriate.

ወገኖቼ ደርግን በመጥላት ኤርትራ እንድትገነጠልና ወያኔ ስልጣን እንዲይዝ ተደረገ ዛሬ ደግሞ ወያኔን በመጥላት ብቻ የኦጋዴን ነጻ አውጪ ነኝ የሚለው ቡድን የሚያካሂደውን ጭፍጨፋና የአገር ግንጠላ ሴራ በመደግፍ የምትጮሁ ሁሉ ኋላ እንዳይቆጫችሁ

To the rest of Ethiopians,let`s save ourselves from Meles and his Woyanne killers.The ONLF is doing their part but they should not be alone.We all know about the fact that unless stopped,the TPLF will destroy Ethiopia.

Legesse,you hit the nail on the head.The woyanne are 10feet tall when they are killing women and children in Ogaden.However,when they face real fighters,like the ONLF and the situation turns into bullets on their foreheads,they are just themselves-cowards.

It baffles me when I see ER defending and propagating for such terrorist and anti Ethiopian forces as Oromo Liberation Front (they want to separate the Oromo Region From that of Ethiopia,) Ogaden Liberation Front (Not that much different from OLF,) and so on. These people have been fighting to liberate their region from the so called the Ethiopian Empire. What I ask the readers of this baseless and embarrassing anti Ethiopian propaganda is what it is that makes these Liberation Fronts any different from that of Tigrian Liberation Front, TPLF? Do we really need any more Liberation Fronts in Ethiopia?
