2007年4月24日

今晨拂晓前，奥加登地区当地时间4点30分，奥加登民族解放阵线的“Dufaan”突击部队在北奥加登Degah-Bur西北30公里处的奥巴拉

(Obala)附近地区采取了军事行动，行动目标为TPLF(AzureFlame译注：Tigrayan People's Liberation Front即Tigrayan人民解放阵

线的缩写，它是埃塞俄比亚的执政党)政权负责守卫一座勘探油田的三支武装部队。该油田的开发活动于近期埃塞俄比亚政府同一个

中国公司达成协议后开始。

作为该协议的组成部分，索马里族的大片居住地区被清理，平民被埃塞俄比亚部队强行从其家园迁走。此外，埃塞俄比亚武装力量封

闭大片地区，禁止当地游牧人口进入他们传统的放牧地区，以便为油田设施建立起由埃塞俄比亚部队保护的安全区域。

奥巴拉地区的TPLF武装力量已经被肃清，许多人向ONLF突击队投降。将近400埃塞俄比亚部队受伤或被击毙。战斗中发生的军火爆炸

导致一些中国油田工人身亡。油田设施本身已被完全摧毁。

ONLF武装力量在战斗之后围捕埃塞俄比亚战俘时遇到6名中国工人。为安全起见已将他们从战场带走，他们受到了良好对待。

ONLF已在众多场合声明，只要奥加登人民没有获得其自决权利，我们就不允许我们人民的矿产资源被此政权或任何签订非法合同的公

司开发。

由于TPLF拒绝在中立国家并且有第三方出席的情况下，就奥加登问题商议全面的政治解决方案，TPLF政权已明确表达它意图继续寻求

奥加登的军事解决方案。因此，我们希望向国际社会重申，奥加登地区将继续成为当前TPLF所领导的政权同我们的解放力量之间的武

装力量交战地区。它不具有任何未来石油开发的安全环境。

ONLF过去已通知中国政府，同TPLF进行谈判是不明智的，因为它无法保证在奥加登的任何公司活动的安全，它也不具有同外国公司就

奥加登石油开发达成合同的权力。不幸的是，该警告被置若罔闻。

我们敦促所有国际石油公司，避免同埃塞俄比亚政府达成协议，因为尽管其宣称控制奥加登，实际上并没有实现有效控制。

对于任何相信实际上从未有效控制奥加登的埃塞俄比亚政府所做安全保证之公司，在奥加登的石油投资都将导致类似的损失。

O.N.L.F. Statement On Military Operation Against Illegal Oil Facility In Ogaden

24 April 2007

Before dawn this morning At 0430 AM local time in Ogaden, the 'Dufaan' commando unit of the Ogaden National

Liberation Front (ONLF) conducted a military operation in the vicinity of Obala, 30km North-West of Degah-Bur in in

Northern Ogaden. The operation targeted 3 military units of the TPLF regime who were guarding an oil exploration

field. Exploration activities at the field began recently following an agreement between the Ethiopian government

and a Chinese company.

As part of this agreement large areas inhabited by ethnic Somalis were cleared with civilians being forcefully

removed from their homes by Ethiopian troops. In addition, Ethiopian forces closed off a large area denying the

local nomadic population their traditional grazing areas in order to establish a security perimeter guarded by

Ethiopian troops for the oil facility.

TPLF forces in Obala have now been wiped out with many having surrendered to ONLF commandos. Nearly 400 Ethiopian

troops have been wounded or killed. Explosions caused by munitions during the battle resulted in the death of a

handful of Chinese oil workers. The oil facility itself has been completely destroyed.

ONLF forces rounding up Ethiopian military prisoners following the battle came across 6 Chinese workers. They have

been removed from the battlefield for their own safety and are being treated well.

The ONLF has stated on numerous occasions that we will not allow the mineral resources of our people to be exploited

by this regime or any firm that it enters into an illegal contract with so long as the people of Ogaden are denied

their rights to self-determination.

By refusing to discuss a comprehensive political solution to the Ogaden issue in a neutral country and in the

presence of a third party, the TPLF regime has made clear its intention to continue to pursue a military solution in

Ogaden. As such, we wish to reaffirm to the international community that the Ogaden region continues to be a battle

zone between armed forces of the current TPLF led regime and our liberation forces. It is not a safe environment for

any oil exploration to occur.

The ONLF has informed the Chinese government in the past that it would be unwise to pursue discussions with the TPLF

as it was not in a position to guarantee the safety of any firm operating in Ogaden nor was it in a position to

enter into contracts with foreign companies for Oil exploration in Ogaden. Unfortunately this warning fell on deaf

ears.

We urge all international oil companies to refrain from entering into agreements with the Ethiopian government as it

is not in effective control of the Ogaden despite the claims it makes.

Oil investments in Ogaden will result in a similar loss for any firm that believes assurances of security it

receives from the Ethiopian government which has never been in effective control of Ogaden

Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF)
