Military Communiqué
May 17 2010
Special Forces from the 'Gorgor(Eagle)' unit of the Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF) Liberation Army captured 'Malqaqa', a strategic garrison that was part of the Ethiopian regime’s defence infrastructure along the road between Jigjiga and Harar. The operation resulted in the capture of 192 light and heavy machines guns and large amount of ammunition.
The Ethiopian regimes forces lost 94 soldiers and the casualties of the ONLF were minimal given that our forces had the advantage of the element of surprise.
50 civilian detainees including women and children were set free by our forces at the conclusion of the operation. Fourteen of the detainees were found tied to posts with wires by the regimes troops when our forces entered the garrison. The wires had damaged their limbs and those civilians were removed by our troops on stretchers and are currently receiving medical attention.
The Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF) has stepped up its operations against the Ethiopian regimes army, which has been forced to be on the defensive after heavy losses in the battle field recently.
Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF)
well done to ONLF
