The officials of the Ogaden Liberation Front ( ONLF) have Thursday said they took over the control of more Ethiopian military bases with fighting that continued in the Somali region under Ethiopian control recently.
Abdukadir Hassan Hirmoge, the deputy chairman of ONLF guerrillas, claimed victory in clashes between both sides which continued in the region in over the past days, saying that they attacked more Ethiopian-controlled areas like Dudume Adde and Dufan - about 20 kilomitres from Dhagah-bur - and many other military positions, pointing out that they took over all the bases of the Ethiopians that they attacked in the recent fighting.
Mr. Hirmoge said that they also inflicted more casualties on Ethiopian troops and captured more weapons from them, adding that they will continue their fighting against the Ethiopians, whom he accused of committing actions against the Somalis in the region, such as raping, robbing, killing and so on.

This bloody war was going on for the last two decades without any sight of conclusion. It created humantarian disaster far worse then Darfur but unfortunately the international comunity doesn't want to know about it. The Ethiopian government closed all sorts of international aid to the Somali Regional State and people are dying needlessly in their thousands. The ethiopian army is taking revenge on the civilians by killing civilians, burning villages which thus creates more angry men to joing the OLF. Untill the Ethiopian Government is put back to book the disaster will continue - America is happy as long as Zenawi is doing their business"war on terror" and cares the least about the dying black people.
