After 18 years of dissident struggle, the Ogaden National Liberation Front, ONLF, finally signed a peace deal with the Ethiopian government on Tuesday, 12 October 2010 at Sheraton Addis in the Ethiopian Capital, Addis Ababa. The Ethiopian government was represented by Dr. Shiferaw Teklemariam, Minister of Federal Affairs while Salahadin Abdurahim Mao, the front’s chairman signed the document. According to the agreement signed, all ONLF rebels who have been put behind bars for criminal charges would be released and exonerated.
Shiferaw said the talks that culminated in the signing of the protocol started when the two sides met in Washington last August.

The minister pointed out that the Ethiopian government did welcome the leaders of the rebel group and henceforth they would be provided with all the necessary financial support for further rehabilitation efforts.Read More
