And by the Authority of the indigenous people of Ogadenia, We declare the right to be a free and Independent State. The long history of suffering at the hands of the destructive and oppressive Ethiopian Government shall be abolished and all political connection exonerated.
The people, free and independent, shall institute a new Government to preserve and protect their rights to all acts entitled to Independent States and to effect their safety and happiness.

- Be deprived of the right to trial by jury.
- Have our homes looted,
- Have our villages burnt.
- Have our livestock slaughtered.
- Our women raped.
- Remain isolated from the world.
- Will our boarders remain sealed from reporters, and economic trade.
- Have humanitarian organizations exiled.
- Suffer a manmade famine and a war against us.
We, the Democratic-Republic of Ogadenia, therefore, declare that our Independence is recognized and that diplomatic relations be established with the United States of America as an ally against terror
