Ethiopia: ONLF burns An Ethiopian Army Vehicle , Commander Abdullahi Yassin Says

Commander Abdullahi Yassin
Commander Abdullahi Yassin
July 12, 2014 (Suna Times) — The Ogaden National Liberation Army’s commander told Qorahay Media that his army burned an Ethiopian military truck, which soldiers were on board in an ambush between Denod and Qorille on Thursday.
Abdullahi Yassin said that the fighting between the Ethiopian soldiers,and the Ogaden Army occurs every time, everywhere in the Ogaden region, and that the number of Liyu Police was reduced in the fight,and now work as guides and interpreters as they know the terrain and the Somali language as well as pointing fingers to individuals that suspected of their family members in the military service of the ONLA.
The Commander accused of Ethiopian soldiers that they have burned civilians in life ,and others suffocated to death after they were placed plastic bags with peppers on their heads by the Ethiopian Army.
“We are not armed to kill Ethiopian civilians, but Ethiopian army is armed to kill our civilians, and that is an evidence of being a state-sponsored terrorism,” added Danab Commander.
Ethiopian soldiers and its allied Liyu Police, have started to cut hundreds of trees that surrounded the streets in order to reduce the ambushes of the Ogaden National liberation Army (ONLA), according a source.
According well-informed Ogadeni journalist and the Chief-Editor of Ogadentoday Press, Mohammed Farah, reported July 10,2014, that ONLA stepped up attacks on Ethiopian troops stationed in Ogaden.
Ogadentoday Press further reported “that almost 150 pro-Ethiopian paramilitary militia under the command of the regional administration has been killed in the attacks”, citing a source close to the regional administration.
Hussein Mohamed Nur, head of ONLF information told reports of Waagacusub media that ONLF has carried out military operations.
“We have killed more than 100 Ethiopian soldiers, and its allied militia of Liyu Police (Hawarin) at Kebri Dahar and Godey,” Hussein Nour said.
The Independent media have banned Ogaden region to verify the ONLF’s recent military victory over Ethiopia, but Ethiopia always dismisses any ONLF military gains and calls ONLA a defeated force.
The Ogaden National Liberation Army has been fighting against Ethiopian soldiers since 1994, and believes that it will accomplish its oil-and-gas rich ogaden independence via a military solution.
Peace-talk between ONLF and Ethiopia stalled in Oct 17, 2012, after the ONLF refused to accept Ethiopian Constitution, which it says the Ethiopian constitution does not concern the Somalis in Ogaden. The kidnappings of two members of ONLF negation team, Sulub Abdi Ahmed and Ali Ahmed Hussein have further complicated diplomatic negotiations between the ONLF and Ethiopia.

July 11, 2014 (BBC News) Ethiopia had a moral obligation to arrest the opposition leader who was controversially extradited from Yemen last month, Ethiopian leader Hailemariam Desalegn has told the BBC.


“Andargachew Tsege is a Trojan horse for the Eritrean government to destabilise this country,” he said.
He was sentenced to death in 2009 while in exile for plotting a coup.
Foreign governments could express their concern, but the man would be dealt with according to the law, the PM said.
Andargachew, a UK national, is secretary-general of Ethiopia’s banned Ginbot 7 movement.
The group says Andargachew was on his way from the United Arab Emirates to Eritrea when he was detained at Sanaa airport on 24 June.
Ethiopia and Eritrea are long-time rivals and the neighbours fought a bitter border war between 1998 -2000, which left some 100,000 people dead.
‘Caught red-handed’
Earlier this week, the British Foreign Office said it had raised its “deep concerns” with both Ethiopia and Yemen over Andargachew’s extradition and had requested reassurances that the death penalty, imposed in absentia, would not be carried out.
Prime Minister Hailemariam rejected concerns about Andargachew’s treatment.
If you have any connection with terrorists don’t think that the Ethiopian government will let you [go] free”
Hailemariam Desalegn Ethiopia’s prime minister
He said his trial and that of several other Ginbot 7 leaders in 2009 – who were charged with planning to assassinate government officials – was “fair”.“His stooges were there, who were sent to destabilise and bomb this country – they were captured red-handed with their bombs and their detonating elements,” he told the BBC’s Focus on Africa programme.
Asked if the death penalty would be carried out now that Andargachew was in custody, the prime minister replied: “I cannot say this now.”
Mr Hailemariam said Ethiopia was a young democracy and opposition parties were allowed to operate, but terrorism would not be tolerated.
“If you ask me to tolerate in the name of democracy those who are engaging [in] destabilising the country and acting as a terrorist and using guns to change government, then you are wrong,” he said.
The prime minister also denied that Ethiopia was heavy handed in applying anti-terror laws.
The country has faced criticism from donors for jailing its critics – and most recently some of the country’s leading bloggers.
Mr Hailemariam, who became prime minister in September 2012 following the death of long-time leader Meles Zenawi, said no matter people’s professions, those found to be linked to “terrorist groups” would be dealt with.
“If you have any connection with terrorists don’t think that the Ethiopian government will let you [go] free,” he said.
Ginbot 7 (15 May) was named after the date of the 2005 elections, which were marred by protests over alleged fraud that led to the deaths of about 200 people.

ETHIOPIA: Concerns over the Safety of Mr. Andargachew Tsige

Canada

URGENT ACTION
After two weeks of denial, the Ethiopian Government has official admitted that It has Mr. Andargachew Tsige in Its custody, following Mr. Andargachew’s appearance on the government-controlled Ethiopian Television yesterday. Although it is a partial relief that Mr. Andargachew’s overall whereabouts is now known, the Human Rights League of the Horn of Africa (HRLHA) still has deep concern regarding the safety of the Ethiopian political activist Mr. AndargachewTsige, especially given the unbelievable conspiracy displayed around his extra-judicial arrest and deportation by a foreign country that has no connection to the political allegations filed against Mr. Andargachew. Mr. Andargachew Tsige, General Secretary of Ginbot Sebat Ethiopian opposition political party, was reportedly arrested by Yemeni security agents on the 24th June, 2014 at the El Rahaba Airport in Sana’a, Yemen while on a transit flight from UK to Eritrea.
Mr. Andargachew has been tried in absentia and sentenced to death in 2009 on charges of alleged coup d’état along with other members of his Ginbot Sebat Party. Although the involvement of the Government of Yemen is unusual, it is no surprise that such high profile political leaders as Mr. Andargachew Tsige are arrested in neighboring Horn of African countries and handed over to the Government of Ethiopia. Given Ethiopian Government’s negative track records of mistreating detained members and supporters of opposition political organizations in attempts to coerce them into false confessions, there is a high probability that Mr. Andargachew would be subjected to torture and other forms of ill-treatments.
Under the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (1465 U.N.T.S. 185) to which Yemen acceded in 1991, the Yemeni Government is under obligation not to return a person to a place where they face torture or other types of ill-treatment. Article 3 of the Convention against Torture provides that: No state party shall expel, return (“refouler”) or extradite a person to another state where there are substantial grounds to believe that they would be in danger of being subjected to torture.
For the purpose of determining whether there are such grounds, the competent authorities shall take into account all relevant considerations including, where applicable, the existence in the state concerned of a consistent pattern of gross, flagrant or mass violations of human rights.
HRLHA requests that the Ethiopian Government in particular ensure the safety and well-being of Mr. Andargachew and that he is allowed access to a legal representative and visitations by family members as well as friends. Also, HRLHA calls upon the Ethiopian Government to nullify all the sentences imposed on Mr. Andargachew in absentia, and facilitate a fair and free retrial that meets both local and international judicial standards and that allows Mr. Andargachew to defend himself against the charge/charges.
