Recent battle between ONLF and the Woyana Forces
Friday, 17 July 2009 03:33 administrator
In response to colonialist Ethiopia's illegal military occupation of
Ogaden's land and in response to the atrocities committed by enemy
Ethiopian troops against civilians, Ogaden liberation forces have
carried out unremitting attacks against Ethiopian military bases,
inflicting devastating damage on colonialist Ethiopian soldiers.
On 2 July 2009, Ogaden liberation forces and colonialist Ethiopian
troops fought a battle in the village of Las Galol in the district of
Garasley, Nogob province. Eighteen Ethiopian soldiers were killed and 10
others were wounded, some seriously, in the battle.
On 3 July 2009, six Ethiopian soldiers were killed and an unknown number
of others wounded in a battle that took place in East Imi district in
Shebelle province.
On 5 July 2009, Ogaden liberation forces carried out a nocturnal attack
on a colonialist army garrison in Abakorow town in Shebelle province,
killing many soldiers and wounding two others. On the same date a fierce
battle took place in Malka Dhabar, Guris, between Ogaden liberation
forces and Ethiopian troop. Seven soldiers were killed and 11 others
were wounded in the fighing. Also on the same date, fighting occurred in
Duduma Ad in Nogob province, during which three Ethiopian soldiers were
killed and two others were wounded.
On 7 July 2009, in Gabagabo, in Nogob province, Ogaden liberation
mounted a surprise attack on enemy troops based there, killing three
soldiers and wounding four others.
On 6 July 2009, specially trained ONLF martyrs carried out a military
operation inside Shilabo town. The martyrs were responding to repeated
requests from residents of the town and surrounding areas that ONLF
forces take action against the administrator of the town and its
security chief for the suffering they had inflicted upon civilians. The
deputy administrator of the town, one of his bodyguards, and the
security chief were killed in the operation. One bodyguard of the
Shilabo town's deputy administrator was also wounded.
Reports from the town say that the deputy administrator died later of
wounds received in the attack.
