A
Paper on Human Rights Violations in Ogaden Human
rights in Ogadenia remain hostile. The will of Ogadenia
people is to live in peace, dignity, and with hope. Since
the beginning of 1990serious human right abuse continued.
Many civilian citizens were killed. The key of human rights
problem in Ogadenia is the lack of political rights and the
absence of central government that protects and preserves
the rights of these individual. Since fall of the Somali
government, the Ethiopian regime began to brutally attack
the native people in Ogadenia. His chaotic actions have
terrorized these people for the last ten years the main
agenda of his action is power.
The power to directly control the oil found in
Ogadenia. For the last 200 years Ethiopia is colonizing the
Ogadenia. The brutal oppression continued to raid and these
people for the last 100 years. In
order to drive these people from their land and homes the
Ethiopian regime is attacking the very source they depend to
living the environment. The destruction of the environment
had produced a terrible famine that caused a massive death
of people. When the Ethiopian regime are not killing women
and children and burning their homes, he is destroying the
environment by clear cutting the vegetation that grows in
the region and contaminating the wells, by their poisoning
then or blowing up. The
native people that inhabit Ogadenia are nomads. The very
existence of these people depends upon the land. The nomads
in Ogadenia are simple people with simple ways. Over 200
years they lived in this productive way of life. These
people lived in climatically tough are, with extreme heat,
droughts and littlie vegetations that depend on the rain. A
considerable part of the years the nomads live in portable
dwelling, who move from place to place as way of life. The
main occupation of life is to raise livestock. Their
essential value of life is their livestock for food and
clothing status and cultural practices. The most dietary
food is milk. Their survival depends upon moving with their
livestock wherever they get water. The
rainy season is three month long [April to June]. And the
short rain is July to September. To these people water is
the very essential of life. More valuable than gold. Wells
are ways of storing water during the dry season. They move
from one well to another to sustain their livestock. And
travel hundreds of miles from their home. Today, the
Ethiopian regime is threatening the very source of living
WATER. He is poisoning the wells, or blowing it up, a
burying it under thousands of bricks. Never to be used
again. As a result thousands of animals die each year. These
people have nothing to eat because their food resource is
being killed and therefore famine spreads through out the
land like a wild fire. Killing women and children. The
international community must come to aid for Ogadenia
people. To protect then from the regime. These people have
nothing to give but to fight for their very lives.
Colonization has ended almost 60 years ago, why Ogadenia
should be different? The human right of the United States
that all men are created equal and it shouldn’t therefore
be inferior to another. This estimate must not take lightly;
the UN must ant on its words. And preserve the lives of all
that cannot defend for them selves. All men had the right
for freedom. And to be recognized as human being. The will
of these people is to live in peace, dignity and honor on
their land. It is essential to rebel against tyranny and
oppression in order to preserve and protect the rights of
all human Today I ask my brothers and sisters to unite and
rebel against our oppressors. Today we ask the international
world to give aid and support to free our selves from hands
of oppression. To enjoy and taste the fruits of freedom to
live and fight for peace.”
