Ogaden jail prisoners are suffering due to sleep deprivation, mockery executions, and starvation. While their families continuously contribute food , only prison guards benefit it.
Relatives of the inmates are extorted thousands of U.S dollars by the prison guards for telling a false promises of releasing their jailed lovers.
Ethiopian Prison guards are more dangerous than Nazi, because they enjoyed the pain and suffering that they inflicted on others.
It is really disturbing when you hear one of those men saying, “I am not the man that you think I am.” even after he has got mad.
The other man, who also got mad after most of his prison mates were killed in front of him, shouts whenever his shoulders were touched due to the severe tortures inflicted on him.
“Ough! God, I am missing my hand,” cried the mentally ill man, who looked like ” a living skeleton.”
Those men are only an example for thousands of unfortunate inmates, incarcerated Ogaden Jail with their sisters, mothers or members of their families that are occasionally naked and raped in front of them.
The Unrepresented Nations and People’s Organizations (UNPO) voiced a concern about the current humanitarian and human rights violation being committed by the Ethiopian Security Forces and its allied militia of Liyu Police.
In recent years the Ogaden people in Eastern Ethiopia have increasingly suffered various human rights abuses as the the Ethiopian State continues its mission of ethnic oppression,” said UNPO for its 21 pages report. http://unpo.org/article/17831
” These violations of human rights often compound the current humanitarian crisis that is developing in the region; with foreign aid funds supporting a state that actively deters humanitarian organisations from operating in the Ogaden region,” added The UNPO

Human Rights Watch accused the Ethiopia’s government of systematically cracking down on media ahead of the May 2015 election.
Ethiopia’s Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn asked Turkish President Recep Tayyib Erdogan to act as mediator with the ONLF, taking advantage of the Erdogan’s visit to Ethiopia, according to Africa Intelligence.
ONLF was founded in 1984, and it has been engaging army struggle with the Ethiopian troops stationed in Ogaden region since 1994, after the Ethiopian government cracked down ONLF members following after Ogaden parliament overwhelming voted yes for self-determination.
