November 2nd, 2008 |  |  5 Comments

SHILABO, ETHIOPIA (a href="http://www.mareeg.com/fidsan.php?sid=8674amp;tirsan=3″Mareeg/a) – Heavy fighting was taking place in the Somali town of Shilabo in Ogaden, eastern Ethiopia, between forces belonging to rebel group Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF) and Woyanne regime troops later on Saturday.

Residents in the town said that fighting took place for most of the day.

The fighting started when the rebel fighters attacked an Woyanne regime tank that entered in that Alemoo village of Shilabo district.

Residents were quoted as saying there had been bullets everywhere and the fighting was extremely intense.

Correspondents say independent information on the situation in Shilabo is difficult because radio contact has been severed.

    I don't think it is a good feeling when one of my brothers die of war in a place like Somalia. I also don't think that they should kill innocent civilians. This is not time celebrate unless one is depressed or mentally ill.

    I think the Imperial policy of Woyane regime is over!
    in my opinion it is too late to think for having a rampart when you are killing innocent people of ogadenis,why crime did they committed as everyone what is wrong if a nation wants to decide their fate?I do believe as long as Woyane have the desire for having the hitler style of policy will never ever get any security.let the woyane puppets die!
