Terrorist, Barbaric State 'Ethiopia' Proven Worse than Afghanistan's Taliban Extremists

A mere comparison of the criminal Amhara and Tigray thugs who impersonate the racist Abyssinian state's 'army' with the Afghanistan Taliban lunatics makes the latter look pale vis-a-vis the former.

The Taliban ruled Afghanistan and imposed their fallacious and extremist interpretation of Islam; similarly, the Amhara and Tigray Monophysitic Abyssinian terrorists imposed a racist state dogma which is founded on a vicious historical forgery and incorporates venomous anti-Somali odium, anti-Kushitic discrimination and grave contempt, and last but not least, ulcerous anti-Islamic perfidy.

The Afghanistan Taliban disregarded the democratic procedures openly, stating that they are unrelated to the Islamic world (as they could understand it – and provenly they could not). The Amhara and Tigray Monophysitic Abyssinian terrorists were far more treacherous; they introduced a seemingly democratic constitution that they never allowed to be respected and properly function. There have never been free elections in Abyssinia, and people were always compelled to vote for the ruling party or face immediate imprisonment and eventual death. The existence of the various, different nations was accepted but their political will was disregarded, their Civil and Human Rights were disrespected, and their socio-economic conditions were deteriorated.

The desecration of archeological places and monuments of Buddha in Afghanistan by the Taliban pales if compared with the systematic desecration of Sidama, Oromo, Shekacho, Kambaata holy shrines, and the sacrilege perpetrated by the Amhara and Tigray Monophysitic Abyssinian terrorists in many mosques throughout Ogaden and Somalia.

As it is well known, the Afghanistan Taliban had a disastrous perception of the nature and the role of women within the Islamic society and an equally wrong assessment of what the correct relationship between men and women is or should be. They constrained the local women to wear the burqa, which was not a practice in the ages of Islamic Civilization. In brief, the Taliban were at the antipodes of the African Muslims, notably the Ogadenis, the Afars, the Jebertis, the Oromos, and the Somalis, who – along with the Bejas, the Nubians, the Furis of Drafur and other Africans – have had a far more tolerant, natural and humane perception of the Islamic principles.

The Rape of Ogadeni Women: A Shame for the Entire Mankind

But the Taliban did not rape the women who crossed the streets or tried to make provisions for their homes.

The Taliban did not strangle women of a different faith just to have fun.

The Taliban did not chase women and children away from water-wells to flowering shrub areas for rape.

The Taliban did not abduct women to rape them en group in remote places and caverns.

Even more importantly, the Taliban did not rape women in postnatal period.

And finally, the Taliban did not throw the women they had raped off the cliff in order to deliberately kill them.

But the cruel and bestial Amhara and Tigray Monophysitic Abyssinian ‘soldiers’ of Meles Zenawi, the world’s most evil and most inhuman thugs, did all this in Ogaden.

That’s why the international community must immediately take a decision to terminate the illegal Abyssinian occupation of Ogaden and liberate the terrorized Ogadenis who have fought for 60 years in order to achieve national independence and freedom. The UN Security Council should deliberate on Ogaden and a special committee should investigate the Crimes against the Mankind that the Amhara and Tigray Monophysitic Abyssinian ‘soldiers’ of Meles Zenawi have perpetrated there.

Criminal gangster Zenawi should be taken to the ICC, and the Security Council should call for immediate withdrawal of all the representatives of the ‘Ethiopian’ government from Ogaden, army and police included. Cooperating with the ONLF, the national liberation movement that represents the totality of Ogaden, a UN peace keeping force should be deployed throughout the tyrannized land of Ogaden, and a referendum should take place under the auspices of the UN, and inaugurate a new era that the long tyrannized Ogadenis honorably merit.

A recent report on rapes performed by the bestial Amhara and Tigray Monophysitic Abyssinian ‘soldiers’ of Meles Zenawi in Ogaden has been published by Abdinasir Mohamed Guled in the leading Somali portal Mareeg; another report about extrajudicial killings that have taken place in the Jigjiga prison at Ogaden was published in the main portal of Ogaden. I republish them both integrally here.

Ethiopia-Ethiopian troops in Ogaden region use sexual violence as weapon-witnesses

In its battle against rebels in eastern Ethiopia's Somali Region, Ethiopia's army has subjected Somali civilian women to rape in the remote areas of Ethiopia.

Some sources in the Ogaden region say that the Ethiopian troops have additionally raped female Somali detainees by government soldiers at military bases in Wardheer, Dhagahbur, Kabridahar, Jijiga, Shilabo, Duhun, and Fiiq towns, and many smaller military bases in the conflict-affected zones, indicating that rape is a widespread abuse in the region. Some of them were raped in their villages/houses.

A farmer from Ogaden told that Ethiopian soldiers had strangled his wife to death with a rope; the wife had been nursing the couple’s one-year-old son when she was killed. A 25-year-old woman said Ethiopian soldiers visited her village each night and picked a new girl to be gang-raped.

A staff member of Doctors Without Borders said she saw Ethiopian soldiers chasing women and children away from water-wells to flowering shrub areas for rape.

Ethiopia claims that it’s conducting a counterinsurgency operation in Ogaden. The Ogaden National Liberation Front, a separatist group, murdered more than 70 people at a Chinese-run oil field in the region this past April. Many civilians living in the conflict zone are nomads who must move to fresh grazing areas and regional markets to sell their livestock but on their the Ethiopian troops rape the women.

Since mid-2007, Ethiopian forces have imposed a series of measures aimed at cutting off economic support to the ONLF, including a trade blockade on the war-affected region, restricted access to water, food and grazing areas, confiscation of livestock and trade goods, and obstruction of humanitarian assistance.

In combination with the drought produced by successive poor rains, this "economic war" is threatening the lives of thousands of civilians, yet many of them lack access to food aid due to government manipulation of food distribution.

“Every night, they took all of us girls to [interrogations]. They would separate us and beat us” Ogadenian woman Fatima Said said: “The second time they took me, they raped me. It is hard to talk about, a man who is more powerful than you can do whatever he wants to you, so they violated me and raped me as they wanted. All three of the men raped me, consecutively. Then we were returned to the hole” she lambently said.

In July 2007 patrolling soldiers from the Garbo base raped two young women on consecutive days as they went to fetch water from wells located a day's walk from their homes in Fiiq zone.

The first woman was detained by the soldiers around noon as she left the wells; two soldiers raped her and threw her off a cliff, causing her serious injuries sources said.

The second woman, who had just given birth to her first child, was detained around the same time the next day, and raped by three soldiers. Angry villagers protested by throwing stones at the army encampment. When the soldiers responded with gunfire, the villagers fled.

The region, which is around 400,000 square kilometers, borders Djibouti, Kenya, and Somalia and It is at the heart of a dispute between the Ethiopian government and Somalia's Islamic rulers.

July 06, 2008 Reports reaching our service desk indicate that a contingent of the Ethiopian military visited a prison in the outskirts of the city of Jigjiga on July 04th, 2008 at around 8:00 PM local time. This prison is locally known as the ‘Ogaden Jail'. It is reported that the contingent of the Ethiopian military attempted to access the cellblock housing a respected Ogaden elder held there. For unknown reasons, the Ethiopian military was unable to access this cellblock.

The Ethiopians were reported to have left the jail but returned a couple of hours later. Upon returning to the jail, the contingent of the Ethiopian military are reported to have disarmed all the prison guards who were ethnic Somalis. It is reported that the Ethiopians upon disarming the prison guards started indiscriminate firing to the prisoners who were at the time resting outside their cellblocks.

Unconfirmed reports indicate that an unknown number of death. Up to 4 prisoners are reported to have been injured. As we reported earlier one of the injured prisoners is reported be ‘Suldaan Fowsi', a respected local elder, however our reporters confirmed that Suldan Fowsi wasn't among those injured and said is doing fine.
