East Hararghe

Spurious reasons, if any, may be given for detention and robbery by local forces. These are usually false accusations of supporting OLA. For example, Mohammed Ahmed, 02 kebele, Haro Maya, East Hararge, was robbed of his TV, farming machinery, a bajaj scooter taxi and other household goods (ONM, 19 January). His two sons, Magarsa and Faran, had been detained for more than six months, accused of supporting OLA.
