After the wslf (Western Somali liberation front) signed
peace deal agreement, the world was convinced, there will be peace and
stability in the region but that was new phase for escalating corruptions and
crimes.
So Many Ogadenis ,
Somalis and the world in large had questioned themselves, whether WSLF peace
deal could bring a concrete result in which the expectation of the region was
always negative regarding their years of unseen in the battlefield and saw the process
as an additional problematic factor that will never change anything on the
fact .
At the time whereby years had passed since peace negotiation
was conducted and this moment still crimes & corruptions are contemporarily
triggering widely in the territory.
One might ask, if the negotiation did contributed any proper
tangible changes, what was the significance of dealing peace process if not so?.
its abundantly clear that the so called wslf had weakened
and therefore lost popularity , so the
only option for preexisting was to
agree the Ethiopia to proceed its act
against humanity operations and gave go
ahead to kill innocent civilians under
the umbrella of peace talks.
A day back, I had an interview with a man who often visits
in Egypt, I several times had talks with him previously (years ago) whether personal concern or the region itself, when I
first approached him and debuted greetings, the guy replied , “Ma wiilki onlf
ba”, meaning “are you the onlf boy”, I quickly
gave him a response that he wasn’t expecting , saying “ no, it’s the new
development supporter”, as he heard the different answer I gave ,I sense unemotional reaction (shaking head), I proceeded talking and said, there is
transformations , infrastructure of roads , industrial projects, security
tightening and touchable economical
changes in the region, so I’m with the revolutions of change.
The man spoken heartily quoted, “there is no change what you
see on TVs are just propaganda, that is suitable words on the fact”, he said.
He continued talking, I came from the region a month ago and
visit the region nonstop (all the time) he told me a story , as we one day came
from outside jigjiga (I can’t recall the province)and heading to the capital
city, I myself and some members of wslf, we have seen people alighted from the transportation
bus along the road, the people were gathered, you could able to see their faces
how horrified & frightened they were , they stopped
us and we could identify , they were the
new police, our personal private vehicle
driver tried to continue driving ,one of
the policemen pointed the rifle to us for the driver to stop, the guys who were
with me shouted to driver why are you troubling us ,you almost kill us,he say
that is the situation we’re in today, even those who took the so call peace
process are humiliated and can’t change
anything from the matter.
I questioned him, there are rumors’ in which people state ( Ibrahim dhere aya yiri khalad buu aha dagaalki aan kula
jiri jirnay Ethiopia), translation,(Ibrahim dhere said , our war with Ethiopia
before was a mistake) is that true?
He relplied :, yes , I personally heard him saying so,
I told him, isn’t that really embarrassing, an organization
that fought decades to liberate their land and call themselves Islamist to talk
in such manner, he said there is huge
conspiracy that we can’t know.
It is true that people in the outside have different
image than that we got but the fact remains, abdi iley (Ethiopia representative
ogaden region) brought a theatrical drama to confuse the international
community.
