A day in the life of an Ogadeen refugee 18 Apr 2008

The conflict between rebels and the Ethiopian military has driven thousands of residents out of their home. Many endure long and ongoing journeys to refugee camps, often with serious injuries. Al Jazeera's Mohammed Adow reports from Ogaden about Hafsa and many like her who are refugees from the Ogaden region of Ethiopia. Hafsa lives in the Ifo refugee camp with her children and shares a hut with three other families.

If the Tigre dominated Woyane regime is not the most openly facist/racist regime in the world, then how come despite the Tigre ethnic group being 5% of the Ethiopian population yet they control 100% the millitary and economic sources of the company.

From the Cheif of staff to the generals heading the 5 command centre in the Ethiopian Are all Tigre. this command centres are further divided into 28 divisions and all but one of these are headed by a tigre.

where are the 95% of Ethiopians.

Hey whom are you reffering as fascist, and why whenever the question of Woyane brutality is mentioned for some magical reason Eritrea comes into radar.

Have you ever seen any party more racist, fascist and above all more crual than Woyane regime, they kill innocent, rape women, burn village, displace people and advocate destruction of entire nation by carrying out these genocide.

To avoid the world knowing about these attrocities Woyanes have banned anyone to visit the Ogaden.

I mean lets start building together. If all of you spent as much energy on bettering yourself through knowledge like business, economics ,medicine, or any arts. Then you can go back and better your people. But alot of you spend all your time creating a society of hate and bullshyt. And guess what? Look at our people. They are in hate and bullshyt all over the place. We need to change the thoughts in our brain. We are to negative and create a society of negativity!

Ok what was Somalia called before the Italians and British? The west and the arabs named most of the afrikan countries anyways. Somalia was never a unified government until the westerners unified it. So how can it be part of Somalia? I know the people are ethnically Somalis but to me I dont see a difference between Somalias, Oromos, Tigris, or Amharas. I love for them regardless of what they claim as their tribe or religion. They are still my people!
