ETHIOPIA


Ogaden

On travel with Danish Muslim Aid, a help organization based in Copenhagen. Danish Muslims has collected finance to build a well in the Somali-district in Ethiopia. The Somali-district shares borders with Somalia. 99% of the population is Ethnic Somalis. They suffer hard because of the drought. 98 % of the populations are Muslim.

The conditions in the Somali-Region are alarming. Drought four years in a row makes it almost impossible for their Nomadic existence. The ongoing fight between the separatist organization Ogaden National Liberation Front [ONLF] and the Ethiopian government hit almost every civilian in the region. In 2008 Human Rights Watch published a document that
claimed crimes committed against Humanity on the civilian population. It also claimed that ONLF committed similar crimes.

Ngo’s and journalists are banned from working in the region.
