Week Ten Text Blog Entry Eight - an article about my country in the international press

Here is an article in the British press that the Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF) has been fighting Ethiopia for independence since 1984. The Ethiopian government accuses it of being associated with al-Qa'ida, but the ONLF denies this.The region at the heart of the dispute was awarded to Ethiopia by the British in 1954. It has since been the cause of two wars between Ethiopia and neighbouring Somalia. I have chosen this article because as we all know there is big fighting between these two countries. I think they misunderstood one another because Ethiopia thinks they are trying to keep a peace however Somali people don't believe that. people are worrying about this because it could be like Iraq as the violence will continue.
