There is a longstanding political marginalization problem unique to Ogaden but it is also true that Ogaden is part of Ethiopia and a political solution is desperately needed, preferably a peaceful one.

there is huge oil reseve already discovered in ogaden and somalia. That is why outsiders are creating conflicts in the region so they can establish presence in the region in the pretex of fighting terrorist and playing peacekeepers. It's only When africans people really understand the imperilist agenda that we can stop them from exploiting and draining our natural resources. Unfortunatly when u have agents like meles and gulied whom purpose in power are to give the natural resources in exchange for nothing our people will be slaved in their own country by their own natural resources.

United State is sponsering Genocide in Ogaden.Ethiopian army who raped hundred of thousand of Somali women in Ogaden are trained and funded by the United State of America.This Genocide is no less then that of Darfur is Sudan which they blame on China but when it comes to their own Crimes against Humanity they try to hide it.Ogaden population is over 10 million strong and we are not Ethiopians so don't waste your time and don't contribute to Genocide lundin co

The Ogadenis sit on a pool of Oil but that Oil belongs to us.We are masters of our own affairs and anyone who wants our oil must respect us first and treat us as the rightful owners.Meles and his TPLF government do not represent us and no deal concerning our oil should be made with them.
