parts of the Somali region under the control of Ethiopia,
Tense between the residents and the Ethiopian troops rose early on Saturday
morning as the Ethiopian troops forcibly entered into parts of the region
ordering to the people to hand over two big lorries that brought food for
the people in the region and caused to refuse the residents which caused to
start exchange of gunfire between the Somali clan militias and the Ethiopian
troops.

teenagers, women and children. I can say that it was a massacre against the
Somali people. More Ethiopian troops had attacked us and they had
deliberately killed us. 15 people had been killed and more than 20 others
