The Ethiopian Army has so far torched large tracts near the following
towns:
1. Shilabo - between Jeexdin (CALUB) Gas oil field and Qamuda including
areas near Jeexdin, Laasoole and Qarsoon
2. Godey-Danan- between Bawo, Oman and Oboley Valleys
3. Fik- Dhegahbur-Jigjiga Triangle- between Ceelo-Obo, Gooro Haas,
Gabiib, Aware-(in daaqato valley) , Sattu, Jamara, Faafan and areas North of
Obole
The fires , which were started by the Ethiopian army destroyed major
grasslands and very rare acacia trees. The burning of the foliage in Ogaden
will have adverse environmental ramifications since the territory is
draught-prone and the rural population’s livelihood depends on the livestock
that graze on those scarce pastures.
Most of those areas are major oil exploration sites where Ogaden people
are deemed a threat and are being forcefully displaced and their livelihood
destroyed in order to accommodate scrupulous and shady oil companies, since
most of the major oil corporations with a sense of corporate responsibility
shun the Ogaden due to the Ethiopian regime’s grave human rights abuses.
This act of depriving the Somalis in Ogaden of their grasslands will
create, further displacement, starvation and man made droughts which is
tantamount to genocide, therefore ONLF calls the UN and the International community
to Ethiopia accountable to the crimes it is committing against innocent
civilians in Ogaden. These unfortunate events are happening while most of the
people of the World are preparing to celebrate the New Year with hope.
