7 March 2009
Heavy fighting between Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF) forces
and those of the Ethiopian regime is currently taking place in the
vicinity of Degah Bur in northern Ogaden. ONLF fighters from the 'Dufaan
Unit' are engaging with Ethiopian troops, who at one point, occupied
parts of Southern Somalia but have now been redeployed to Ogaden.
24 Ethiopian troops have been killed in this latest round of fighting
since the 4th of March with dozens wounded. Ethiopian forces killed six
ethnic Somali pastoralists in the area. Two of the six civilians died by
hanging at the hands of the Ethiopian regimes troops.
ONLF forces have now captured the staging ground and an arms depot
belonging to the Ethiopian unit operating near Degah Bur. Thousands of
rounds of amunition and several dozen rifles have been captured.
ONLF military operations in the Degah Bur area will continue until the
Ethiopian unit redeployed from Somalia is completely eliminated.
