O.N.L.F Statement On South Sudan Referendum

14 January 2011

 

In 1981 the OAU committee mediating between Somalia and Ethiopia

regarding the conflict in the Og’aden ,declared that the Og’aden is part

of Ethiopia. That decision was based on the 1964 resolution of the OAU

promulgated in Cairo regarding the sanctity of the African borders

left by colonialism. That unjust resolution in no way took into

account the aspirations of the people of Og’aden and wrongly portrayed

the Og’aden conflict as a border dispute between two States when it is

infact a conflict borne from the desire of the Og’aden people for

self-determination.

 

Despite the AU turning a blind eye to the plight of the Og’aden people

and it's lack of interest in addressing the root causes of the Og’aden

conflict, the decision to allow the people of the South Sudan to take

a referendum to decide their destiny is a great day for all people

denied their rights to self-determination in Africa. President Bashir

of Sudan is to be commended for agreeing to this bold and visionary

step forward in the interest of justice and peace

 

This vote represents a precedent affirming that there is no longer a moral or

so-called legal basis for denying the Og’aden people their legitimate

rights to self-determination and that the AU bears a direct

responsibility to address protracted conflicts which require a

comprehensive political solution especially when those conflicts are

based on the legitimate aspirations of African peoples to achieve

self-determination.

 

The fact of the matter is that the Og’aden people will achieve their

rights through a protracted peoples’ struggle whether the current or

future Ethiopian regimes like it or not. It would be appropriate for

the AU and peace loving nations to be on the right side of history and

address the Og’aden conflict with the same energy and interest afforded

the South Sudan conflict. The AU should not wait for Genocide to take

on unimaginable proportions before engaging itself in this conflict. The fact

that the Ethiopian regime is engaged in war crimes and crimes against

humanity in Og’aden is well documented. Og’aden warrants AU intervention

now.

"Ninkii Qeyrii Loo Xiiroow Soo Qoyso" was a popular Somali proverb. Meles and his Ethiopia should now undertstand that there is no power in this world that can keep the people of Western Somalia in that cage any more. Run Meles, run! Run before that ONLF soldier shoots u right at the face!

Indeed The og'aden is not a conflict between two countries but between an Oppressive Regime in Adis ababa versus some of the people of that region. There is no Somalia attached to the Og'aden struggle.
