Abiy Ahmed’s best survival card was the peace-making with Eritrea, the Ogaden Somali Liberation Front and the Oromo Liberation Front.
By 1978, the Somali forces were pushed out of most of the Ogaden, although it would take nearly three more years for the Ethiopian Army to gain full control of Godey.
As I found out in dozens of interviews with Ethiopian Somalis, security forces indiscriminately kill, imprison and torture civilians whom they suspect of aiding Ogaden rebels.
Nuradin read a testimony of the massacre at Wekidiba and said, yep, this sounds like what went on in Ogaden in 2008, and Semere said, I don’t have personal knowledge of that but I will make it my duty to find out.
The denial comes on the heels of an in-depth report from Human Rights Watch documenting the scope of torture at Jijiga, also known as Jail Ogaden, in the Somali regional capital.
The reason why the know it all LaFort thought Abdi commands liyu police as his personal security guards is partly because almost ENTIRELY the member of Liyu police are from Ogaden clan as Abdi homself is.
