The Ethiopian government has officially released four war prisoners captured from the country’s most active rebel group, the ****** National Liberation Front (ONLF) on Wednesday in the city of Jigjiga. Reports in Jigjiga said three men – Abdulnur Soyan, Dhire Kafi and Hassan Ma’alim Ali were released from a central prison in the town. Mr Soyan and Kafi are said to be members of the movement’s central committee and have been behind bars for the past two years. The two men were detained in the Somali semi-autonomous region of Puntland by security forces and were handed over to Ethiopian authorities. In June, the Puntland state of Somalia signed a key Memorandum of Understanding with Ethiopia’s Somali National Regional State in the fields of security and trade. The two states agreed to fight against the ONLF, Al-Shabab and other groups whom they accused of trying to destabilize the region. While speaking to the BBC-Somali services, the two men said they will denounce violence and lay down their arms. They instead promised to work with the Ethiopian administration. “The fact that I can drive a white car in the middle of Jigjiga peacefully means Ethiopia will not harm any civilian in the country-side,” Mr Soyan told BBC-Somali. The Ethiopian government signed a breakthrough ceasefire with the rebel in Frankfurt, Germany, on the 15th of June – which includes a three-months ceasefire (see ****** breakthrough: rebel group signs ceasefire). Since early June, a large faction of the movement led by Salahdin Abdulrahman Maow and 20 other senior members have been disarming voluntarily. The government in Addis Ababa claims the 20 members hold about 60 per cent of the movement’s support base. Mr Abay Tsehaye, Ethiopia’s security and intelligence advisor, told AFP on Saturday the group was in it’s last leg and has lost all support of the locals. He said it was nearing collapse. The Meles Zenawi administration who now control the entire country including the Parliament – only two oppositions sit in Parliament, said it will grant the movement more autonomy-style of rule. The government plans to incorporate a significant rebel forces into the Somali National Regional State army and police once they are disarmed and rehabilitated. Addis Ababa has given the group until end of August to finalize the agreement with the government. The reports also added a middle-aged woman – said to be Bishaaro Wa’adi Shaqlane was also among those released today in Jigjiga. The ONLF has in the past accused the Somaliland administration of handing Bishaaro over to Jigjiga. The movement claims Mrs Shaqanle, who is a senior member of the ****** Womens Democratic Alliance (OWDA) was arrested in Hargeisa on February 10th of this year. Somaliland maintains close relations with the Addis Ababa administration and has in the past accused the ONLF of targeting Somaliland clans that also inhabit parts of the Somali state of Ethiopia.

You guys are celebrating so soon ..... believe me this is a beginning of another Ethiopian intervention ,,, this time they want to dismiss the international border ...... come on ,,, don't be so Istubidh now ,,,

shall we go back to the beginning ,, nothing is new adeer ..... released or not ,,, it has been discussed before.

There is nothing to celebrate here ..... The boundary lines are changed in accordance with the latest expected intervention from the neighboring countries ...... that means as long as the border is disputed then Ethiopian can come anytime. It still shows Somaliland side is different ,,, always.

Taariikhdu waa ma guuraan ,,

I can see the Somaliland side is not disputed ,,,,

Kuwii ONLF ugu waaweynaa waa la sii daayay ,,,, nabad bay saxeexeen oo Jigjigay baabuur ku dhex wataan ,,

African leaders gathering in Kampala days after Somalia’s Shebab carried out deadly suicide attacks in the Ugandan capital are expected this weekend to mull sending more troops to war-torn Mogadishu. The venue for the African Union summit was picked long before the July 11 attacks that killed 76 people but the unprecedented bombings were expected to inject renewed urgency in the continental body’s approach to Somalia. The Al Qaeda-inspired group Shebab who claimed the attacks, the region’s worst in 12 years, said they were in retaliation for Uganda’s leading role in the AU’s mission in Somalia (AMISOM). But instead of being bullied into a pull-out, Uganda looked set to take advantage of the 53-member organisation’s summit to muster support for a beefed-up deployment and more aggressive mandate. Heads of state meeting from Sunday to Tuesday are expected to endorse a decision made earlier this month by the regional body IGAD (Inter-Governmental Authority on Development) to send an extra 2,000 troops to Mogadishu. While Uganda, which already provides more than half of the existing contingent, has called on its neighbours to chip in, Kampala looks once again set to contribute the bulk of the reinforcements. “We are capable of providing the required force if other countries fail to do so,” Ugandan army spokesman Felix Kulayigye said last week in the aftermath of the attacks. AMISOM’s more than 6,000 troops are better trained and equipped than the Shebab but their mandate has restricted them to protecting Somalia’s weak western-backed transitional government. Uganda has said it was seeking a “license to kill” for AMISOM forces to make an impact but the force’s defensive mortar shelling has caused many civilian casualties and analysts argue the Shebab are trying to draw it into a trap. “We are quite worried about the consequences of such an operation, because if they are engaged in quite an indiscriminate manner, they run the risk of playing in the hands of the Shebab,” said the International Crisis Group’s Ernst Jan Hogendoorn. Somalia’s seemingly inexorable descent into chaos and the rise of a group affiliated to Al-Qaea that has proved its ability to strike beyond Somalia’s borders are likely to overshadow the summit’s official theme of maternal and child health. The continent’s leader are also expected to discuss the future of Sudan, where the oil-rich south is due to hold a referendum on independence in January. Sudanese President Omar al-Beshir, whose movements have been under close scrutiny since the International Criminal Court issued a warrant against him over the war in Darfur, is not expected to attend. In a year that saw a raft of elections, Africa’s top officials and diplomats are also expected to reflect on the progress of democracy and accountability in member states. Elections in Burundi are being boycotted after opposition claims of fraud, polls in Ethiopia were marred by similar accusations and Rwanda’s ongoing campaign has been tarnished by murders and arrests. The only recent elections that met international standards were those in Somaliland, which is not a state. The northern Somali breakaway territory has been asking for international recognition for years and hopes that its smooth and democratic transfer of power will boost its case with the African Union.
