Is it because what is happening in the Ogaden region cannot be seen as state-sponsored terrorism -since Ethiopia regarded as Christian-dominated government that is massacring Muslim civilians?

The international Community and Western Media have stopped to speak about the genocide that is taking place in Ogaden region by the hands of the Ethiopian Security Forces and its interrogators. 

Is it because what is happening in the Ogaden region cannot be seen as state-sponsored terrorism -since Ethiopia regarded as Christian-dominated  government that is massacring Muslim civilians? 


Ethiopian government receives millions of dollars annually from donor countries mainly United States and United Kingdom for being an strategic partner for the war against Somalia's extremist fighters of Al-Shabaab. But other side of the border, Ethiopian troops are committing crimes worse than Al-Shabaab and killed more than Ebola.


Ethiopian Prison guards torture inmates in jail Ogaden, about 80 Kilometers Eastern of the city of Harar, during their interrogations. 

Officials of Ogaden regional State, who receives orders from Tigray Commanders in Harar, have violated the rights of these two men that became mentally ill following continues torture , according to former-Ethiopian-run media, http://faadumofirimbi.com/

The two men were released when they became mentally ill, " for the officials of Ogaden regional state, they have corrected themselves after rehabilitation." 

The two men seems to be patsies (not members of the Ogaden National Liberation Front-ONLF) and became victims of Ethiopian highlanders that has no an ounce of humanity, integrity, compassion, and morality. 

Ogaden jail prisoners are suffering due to sleep deprivation, mockery executions, and starvation. While their families continuously contribute food , only prison guards benefit it.

Relatives of the inmates are extorted thousands of U.S dollars by the prison guards for telling a false promises of releasing their jailed lovers.
    

Ethiopian Prison guards are more dangerous than Nazi, because they enjoyed the pain and suffering that they inflicted on others.

It is really disturbing when you hear one of those men saying, "I am not the man that you think I am." even after he has got mad.

The other man, who also got mad after most of his prison mates were killed in front of him, shouts whenever his shoulders were touched due to the severe tortures inflicted on him.

"Ough! God, I am missing my hand," cried the mentally ill man, who looked like " a living skeleton." 
 
Those men are only an example for thousands of unfortunate inmates,  incarcerated Ogaden Jail with their sisters, mothers or members of their families that are occasionally naked and raped in front of them.

The Unrepresented Nations and People's Organizations (UNPO) voiced a concern about the current humanitarian and human rights violation being committed by the Ethiopian Security Forces and its allied militia of Liyu Police. 

In recent years the Ogaden people in Eastern Ethiopia have increasingly suffered various human rights abuses as the the Ethiopian State continues its mission of ethnic oppression," said UNPO for its 21 pages report. http://unpo.org/article/17831

" These violations of human rights often compound the current humanitarian crisis that is developing in the region; with foreign aid funds supporting a state that actively deters humanitarian organisations from operating in the Ogaden region," added The UNPO

Reuters added Ogaden region on Thursday some of the under reported conflict zones of the year 2015. http://news.yahoo.com/factbox-under-reported-conflicts-2015-183233152.html

Human Rights Watch accused the Ethiopia's government of systematically cracking down on media ahead of the May 2015 election.

Ethiopia's Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn asked Turkish President Recep Tayyib Erdogan to act as mediator with the ONLF, taking advantage of the Erdogan's visit to Ethiopia, according to Africa Intelligence.

ONLF was founded in 1984, and it has been engaging army struggle with the Ethiopian troops stationed in Ogaden region since 1994, after the Ethiopian government cracked down ONLF members following after Ogaden parliament overwhelming voted yes for self-determination.

The discovery of gas and oil in the Ogaden added fuel to the fire since International Oil Corporations that interested in the region participated in the fight for hiring guards that displaced residents near the oil-fields.

It secretly and unlawfully recruited about 7,500 young Somalis sent to Eritrea

Western Intelligence Agencies Oppose the Democratization of Somalia Intelligence Services (NISA) History documents the strong character of the Somali people associated with messy democratic rule that cherishes individual liberty, freedom of expression and opinion, Justice, and private entrepreneurship rather than with autocratic rule. British explorer, Sir Richard Burton wrote in 1856, "the Somalis are fierce race of republicans, constantly changing political loyalties – the Somalis lived in what amounted to a state of chronic, political schizophrenia, verging on of anarchy. Every freeborn man holds equal to his ruler and allows no loyalties or prerogatives to abridge his birthright of liberty." However, Somalis are docile to discipline and obedience if social mediation applied fairly. The appropriate model of government for Somalia is the democratic rule. Full Article
