The Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF) strongly condemns the brutal and barbaric terrorist attack against innocent civilians in Mogadishu which resulted in the death of over 100 people, mainly students, this past Tuesday.

This attack by the enemies of the Somali people and nation demonstrates the extent to which those forces determined to prevent peace, progress and democracy in Somalia are willing to go. The perpetrators of this attack represent a cancer in Somali society which simply needs to be removed.

The people of Ogaden and the leadership of the ONLF stand in strong Solidarity with the people of Somalia during this difficult time.
