As of 2:00 pm Pacific Time, the Ethiopian governmnet’s claim that Ogaden rebels are on their last legs has been countered by Ogaden National Liberation Front dispatches from Europe.

The ONLF has been working to establish independence for the eastern most region of Ethiopia for a number of years, but rose to more prominance a couple of years ago when they attacked natural resource exploration processes.  That attack resulted in the death of between 50 and 100 Ethiopians along with Chinese nationals.  Since then, the governmnet has been trying to stifel the resistance.

Tension between the ONLF and Ethiopian government continues additionally becasue of Addis-Ababas’ involvement in Somali power struggles.
