| A Genocide We Can Stop - Ogaden |
 Ogadenis face a genocidal strategy devised at their prejudice by the TPLF dominated Ethiopian government under an undeclared martial law and journalists are effectively blocked from the region. Extrajudicial killings, arrests, extensive practice of torture, national denigration and religious denigrations carried out against Ogaden Somalis over many long decades alienated them completely from Ethiopian totalitarian state where they never felt they belong. |

| Focussing Towards Common Enemy will Expedite Victory |
( OLF - ONLF ) It is imperative that the oppressed peoples who are under the domination of dictatorship and tyranny will need solidarity and cooperation among themselves to release themselves from tyrannical rule imposed upon them. Unless we focused on the deception and intrigues fabricated by our enemy to create mistrust among our peoples, sow seeds of conflicts between them or create fear and hatred towards each other and exposed these wicked acts of the enemy the success of our struggle will fall under question. |
