Ogaden National Liberation Front launches new offensive

Posted on by Elias Kifle

EDITOR’S NOTE: Please note that ONLF doesn’t refer the Woyanne army as “Ethiopian Army” as some of the international media, and even some fools in the Ethiopian opposition camp shamelessly do. We thank ONLF for not associating the horrible crimes of the Woyanne army with the name Ethiopia.

(ONLF Military Communiqué) — The Ogaden National Liberation Army today has launched major operations in the Ogaden after rebuffing the late May offensive by the “Ethiopian” [Woyanne] Army.

The Units from the Gorgor Command (Eagle Command) have launched two pronged offensive in Dhagah-Madow district west of Dhagahbur and the Dudumo-Ad Garrison near Baabili district. In Dhagah-Madow districts there were three Woyanne battalions and their support units and in Dudumo- Ad Garrison there were two battalions and their support Units. Both Garrisons were captured and enemy troops destroyed.

Hundreds of soldiers were captured and causalities were very high. Reinforcement forces from Harar, Fiq and Dhagah bur were also repelled, degraded and dispersed and ONLA is in hot pursuit of the remnants. In total more than 1800 Woyane troops were either killed, captured or had dispersed in the Ogaden wilderness. Heavy weaponry, ammunition and military vehicles were also captured. These two garrisons are strategic locations for the control of the area south and North West of the Jarar Valley.

The Battle is escalating and may spread into other cities in the Ogaden. Further details will be provided when the full report reaches ONLF information Bureau.

  6. Thank you ONLF kill those stupid woyanes. they are the enemy of ethiopia. We have to support and join the ONLF by any means. we have no choice. encourage Dr Berhanu and others to organize us to rally behind all freedom fighters.

    LET US BE UNITED AND CRUSH THE ENEMY!
    GOD BLESS UNITED ETHIOPIA!

  7. It will take time to convince WOYANE to really leave ethiopia in peace,otherwise there could be another HAWZEN in TIGRE scenarios,and might come up soon. All ethiopians must fight against these mentally deranged WOYANE and save EAST AFRICA from their greed….

  8. this is good to hear that the woyane force are not Ethiopian force. if the onlf believe that they are Ethiopians then we should all support them and kill all woyane.

  9. We love you so much ONLF, you truly are the only defanse we
    Ogadens have,no else cares about as.If it was up to Ethiopians they would have us all killed but you defanded us and now marching on in the heart of Ogaden.god bless you all,god protect you all brave men and women.God willing we will be free soon and we will all came home,man I’m home sick

  10. Elias thank you for letting us that ONLF does not refer the Woyanne army as “Ethiopian army”.
    It is refreshing and beautiful to hear all this ONLF support from ordinary Ethiopians. I have no doubt that if all Ethiopians work together and unit under one single organisation or at least coordinate their efforts toward freeing ourselves the Woyanne shackles, their (the Woyanne) days will be numbered. Let us work toward that end.

  11. IT HAS BEEN A MEMORABLE TIME IN OUR HISTORY AND A SCAR TO THE VICIOUS WOYANNE
    WE CAN NEVER BE MORE PROUD OF THE ONLF THAN WE DO NOW IT HAS COME THE I,E IN WHICH ALL ETHIOPIANS FOLLOW THE FOOTSTEPS OF THE ONLF TO RELEASE THEMSELVES AND THEIR PEOPLE OF THE IRON GRIP THAT THE TYRANT COLD BLOODED MURDER MELES HAS ON US
    SO LET US RAISE AND DESTROY OUR ENEMY
    VIVA ONLF VIVA ONLF VIVA OGADENIA

  13. we Ogadenis have been suffering under Army brutality of Woyanne who (Woyannes) have no aim rather than destruction,selfishness,greedness,and ignorance.

    We pray those who stand our liberation from unwise enemy of Legasse(Zenawi)

    Freedom for all oppressed people!
