9 July 2011

The Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF) on behalf of the people of Ogaden and the leadership and members of the ONLF extends it’s congratulations to the people of the Republic of South Sudan this 9th of July 2011 on the occasion of the independence of Africa newest country.

The people of Ogaden have followed closely the legitimate struggle of the people of South Sudan and welcome the birth of the South Sudan Republic as a positive event in Africa’s History. The struggle of the people of South Sudan was not easy. It required patience and sacrifice.

The International Community particularly donor nations and the African Union played a positive role in facilitating talks that led to the freedom of the people of South Sudan. This investment in peace and justice will no doubt contribute to the stability of Eastern Africa.

It is our hope that a similar investment in peace and justice will be made in Ogaden and that South Sudan will contribute positively as Africa’s newest nation to achieving a comprehensive, just and lasting settlement to the long and legitimate struggle of the people of Ogaden for self-determination.
