ADDIS ABABA, – Ethiopia’s Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF) rebels denied on Monday they were behind a weekend explosion that killed four people at a hotel.
“ONLF firmly believes that the Ethiopian Woyane security forces or its cronies in the region are behind such an act which is intended to tarnish the legitimate national liberation struggle of the Ogaden people,” the rebels said in a statement.
Police blamed Sunday’s blast on “terrorists” and said they suspected the ONLF. An injured victim had died in hospital, police said, taking the death toll to four after the blast in Ethiopia’s southeastern Somali region.
The explosion was the latest violence in Ethiopia’s restive, outlying regions where various groups are fighting against the government TPLF Thugs. The government Woyane says they are sponsored by its enemies, principally Eritrea.
Since the middle of last year, the Ethiopian Woyane military has been waging an offensive against the separatist ONLF in the Somali region of the Horn of Africa nation.
Sunday’s explosion took place in Jijiga, capital of the arid region that borders lawless Somalia.
The ONLF was formed in 1984. Its aims have varied between full scale independence to joining a “Greater Somalia” to more autonomy within Ethiopia. (Reporting by Tsegaye Tadesse; editing by Keith Weir)

Woyanne are losing their grip on Somalia and the armed opposition groups are tightening the noose on Woyanne and thier puppets all over Ethiopia, they are commiting crimes against peaceful people by planting bombs and then blaming them on the opposition groups to get some handouts from their masters, this transparent tactic may fool the gullible audience in the west but people inside Ethiopia know full well who is behind these barbaric acts. All the armed opposition groupls can go anywhere they want and administer justice on those who collaborate with Woyanne thugs, they don’t need to explode bombs indiscriminately, only the barbaric Woyanne thugs would do such a cowardly act. These are actions of a desperate regime grasping at straws to prolong their reign.
Woyanne sentenced themselves to death when they refused to hand over power to the Ethiopian people in 2005 during that rigged election, ever since then it has all been down hill for Woyanne and their masters who thought they can trample on the people of Ethiopia, Somalia and Eritrea. Now the tables have turned and justice will be served sooner or later.

One would think the miserable Weyanes would change their tactic of creating mayhem and blame it on Opposition, but again, these chigaram Weyanes are nothing but normal!
