It's one of the world's forgotten struggles - the fight for independence by the eastern Ogaden region of Ethiopia.
The conflict between separatist rebels and the Ethiopian military has turned the area into what's been described as a living hell.
Al Jazeera has gained exclusive access to Ogaden - Mohammed Adow compiled this report.

Stop please stop this madness the past is the past all somalis must get united this qabil qabil fight must end your clan is uninportent. Even somaliland gov must back down and hand over the military comand to the state of somalia and become autonomous at worst (gives em level of power and self ruling). Somaliland says its fare but on the other hand oppressing midgans. One islamic state is the answer. Im a somalilander my self and i say go back to somalia and help our brothers and sisters

First all if there was a terrorist in the horn of Africa - look no further than the murderious Woyane regime in Addis.
Since Woyane came to the Ogaden, all we see is death and destruction, arming and inciting various communities to kill eachother and then blame instability for the lack of development - who created isntability first.
That was before but know they seem to be enjoying, the killing, rape and torture against civilians.
The world knows about it - deception has expiry date.

Mohammod Adew is a man who was glorifying the deeds of the Somalian terrorist in Mogadishu.
He talks about schools here but doesn't say how the rebels are burning schools.
He talks about development, he doesn't how the rebels killed unarmed civilian Somalis working in oil field research.
Bias reporting is not the way to go. Algazeera will loose credibility if they go this route.
Report truthfully in a balanced way or else yours will be no less than gutter journalism.
