Birgitta Ohlsson skicka lite liberala BRÖD till Ogaden

Ett FOLKMORD pågår i Etiopien. När regimen i Addis Abeba och terroristen al-Zenawi inte lyckades knäcka folket i Ogaden, har han återfunnit sina föregångares metod att försöka utrota ett folk - SVÄLTA UT DEM! Just utrotning har det varit terroristen al-Zenawis politik det senaste året utan att de så kallade demokratiska länder i omvärlden reagerat ett knyst. Tvärtom skickas det mer och mer "bistånd" för att hålla al-Zenawi vid makten.

Han har militärt blockerat området, kastat ut enskilda organisationer som Läkare Utan Gränser, för förhindra ögonvittnen, bränt ner byar som bedömdes föda motståndet, bombat ner vattenkällor.

Som vanligt är det inte al-Zenawi själv som står för ”kalaset”. Hur kan ett fattigt Etiopien ha råd att ständigt föra krig mot sitt eget folk och mot sina grannländer?Det är länder som USA, Storbritannien och Sverige som alltid står redo att finansiera folkmordet. Ja, i Sverige kallas det för bistånd, utvecklingsstöd, budgetstöd. Du och jag som skattebetalare står alltså för terroristen al-Zenawi budgetering av utrotning av sitt eget folk.

Folket i Ogaden har tyvärr inga Hollywood stjärnor och liberala politiker som vi ofta hör skrika högt mot folkmordet i Darfur, mot Mugabes politik i Zimbabwe, etc. vid sin sida. Har ni någonsin hört riksdagskvinna och Folkpartiets taleskvinna i biståndsfrågor, Birgitta Ohlsson ifrågasätta svensk bistånd till terror regimen i Addis Abeba. Birgitta ta en kort paus från festandet och FRA snacket. Skänk lite liberala bröd till folket i Ogaden.

NAIROBI (Reuters) - Ethiopia's Ogaden rebels demanded on Friday that the U.N. Security Council secure an aid corridor to their homeland where they said people were starving behind a military blockade.

Since June last year the Ethiopian military has been waging an offensive against separatist guerrillas that has cut off access for most aid workers and journalists to the ethnically Somali region.

"The situation is getting out of hand. Women and children and the elderly are dying from thirst and hunger," Abdirahman Mahdi, a founding member of the Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF) said in a telephone interview.

"The U.N. Security Council must set up and enforce an aid corridor immediately, with international monitors, because the army is using relief supplies to fuel its campaign."

Ethiopia's government, an important U.S. ally in the region, routinely rejects ONLF claims that its forces withhold aid from desperate communities in the drought-stricken east.

The ONLF was formed in 1984 in the ethnically Somali region on Ethiopia's border with Somalia. Its aims have varied between full-scale independence to joining a "Greater Somalia" to more autonomy within Ethiopia for a region it says is neglected.

Addis Ababa says the rebels are terrorists supported by Horn of Africa rival Eritrea, and points to an ONLF attack on a Chinese-run oil field in April 2007 that killed 74 people.

It says criticism of its tactics in the rocky, arid region is just defamation by "anti-peace" forces.

Mahdi said international officials who had visited Ogaden recently, including U.N. aid chief John Holmes, had underestimated the crisis.

"People are eating roots and grass, animals are dying," he said. "And at the same time the military campaign is going on. Soldiers are shooting people, beating people, harassing them."

Holmes said earlier this month special attention should be paid to the region and food deliveries should be speeded up.

In June, U.S.-based Human Rights Watch said donors who gave the government more than $2 billion a year in aid needed to speak out against what the group called widespread and systematic atrocities by Ethiopian troops.

HRW accused Western nations including the United States and Britain of maintaining a conspiracy of silence. Addis Ababa said the report was fabricated.

In July, regional government officials in Ogaden accused a Swiss medical charity of spreading hearsay after it stopped work there complaining of repeated obstructions, intimidation and arrests.
