The Legend Of The Brave Trespassers

Recommended Posts

NGONGE   

Once upon a time, a brave battalion of ONLF fighters landed in the hostile SL coast. These brave bands of brothers were unexpected, unanticipated and unwanted guests. Their story has become the stuff of legend. Many historians have attempted to piece together what actually happened on that eventful day.

 

The Somaliland National Archives, the Ethiopian Federal Library and the ONLF Historical Documents contain official correspondence between various members of the three sides discussing the unfolding events. Here are some:

Dear Minster,

Our Ethiopian allies report the existence of ONLF troops in SL soil. They claim the rebels have landed in Saylac and are making their way to the Ethiopian border. We await your orders on this matter.
