Comment: ethiopia military is comiting crime against humanity when they deliberatly targeted the civilian people of ogaden region killing them detain them with out trail and raping women front of their relatives. this is humilating the ogaden people. killing torturing is a common thing in ogaden region thier is no law and order and only justice in ogaden is military justice which is killing torturing. thier is no civilian courts in ogaden and is only court is military one. meles zeawi
government was a rebel before but he forget that he was once abused by his people the ethiopian military and what happening in ogaden region is what happen meles zenawi region when mingiste was in power.
iam thanking the newsweek article about the suffering of ogaden people there is good journalist who knows what happening in ogaden and the cover up and continuis lie about the ethiopian government saying their no human abuse in ogaden everything is ok which is far from the reality.
if ethiopia is not lying about the ogaden suffring why they not allowing the international journalist to visit the region why they kick out all humanatarian agencies like red cross. ethiopia is new isreal of africa look what they doing somalia people in magadishu. discriminate shelling the civilian residents of magadishu. and shout to kill anything moving ethiopia invaded somalia state illegaly with the support from the USA. george bush government paid Mr. meles zenawi $300 million dollar to invade somalia and he cashing in since he invaded somalia and he dousn't care his poor soldeirs dying every day in mogadishu and residents draging their dead body in the streets of mogadishu.
meles he cares only to fill his bank the American dollar and that his target
let me remind you that meles himself he was living in somalia before as refugee
and he started his rebel movement in somalia he paid the somalia hopitality to invade their country aand killing the civilian every day.
this will be end of so called ethiopia and the somali ogaden people will rise and devend themselfes. ethiopia can't feed it is own people and they want invade noughbering countries , somalia, eriterea, sudan, it is blind man leeding blind man they way Mr.meles Zenawi leading to ethiopia. and it will ended up disaster.
