July 11, 2008 (ADDIS ABABA) – An opposition radio broadcast said that the Ogaden National Liberation Army (ONLA) have killed 33 government troops and wounded 36 others in a wave of attacks since late June.
According to Radio Freedom, a radio that broadcasts reports from south eastern Ethiopia, the attacks were made at Galalshe, Degehabur, Kebridehar districts and at Malyko and Yu’ub towns of the Ogaden region.
The radio didn’t say whether the rebels suffered causalities or not.
The government of Ethiopia repeatedly has played down to the claims the rebels have been making.
The Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF), who is considered by the government as terrorist group, is founded in 1984. The front is fighting for independence for a large part of Ethiopia’s Somali region in eastern Ethiopia, known as the Ogaden.
