Kebri Dehar Is Under Attack
In April 1994, the Ethiopian army launched a hostile attack on the residents of Kebri Dehar. They shot and killed the governor and deputy governor of the city, Mohamed Omar Tube and Deeq Mohamud Arab, in front of the administrative center. From there, the uprising of the Somali people against Ethiopia started, which spread throughout Ogadenia and stopped in 2018.
Today, April 2023, the Ethiopian military launched a similar attack in 1994 on the people of Kebri Dehar. Small children threw stones at the Ethiopian military, and then the military opened fire on the children, killing two children. The people started a protest against the barbaric act by blocking the road with stones and again the military targeted the people with live bullets resulting in deaths and injuries that overwhelmed the city hospital.
The death toll in Kebri Dehar includes two children and there is no definitive death toll, but it is said that the city's hospital is full.
History repeats itself, but with different reasons and representations of history.
It has not been a month since the Somali army known as Liyu Police was abolished, which caused many problems to the Somali people in the past 17 years, but the people understood their language.
The Ethiopian colonial military in the Somali region returned with persecution, massacre, r**e and murder. The Ethiopian military seems to be thirsty for the blood of the Somali people. They have caused problems in recent weeks in Gode and Dhobowayn by looting goods, ra**ng women and killing innocent civilians.
Ethiopia is very familiar with the history of the cities of Kebri Dehar and Warder. Abiy Ahmed's rule is intended to defeat any uprising that starts, as the government has put its foot in the mouth of the people of Ethiopia's most powerful regions.
Let Ethiopia know that there is no one more powerful than the Somali people, and we would advise them to put an end to the problems that are causing instability.
