confiscation of the private properties have become a daily practice in the Somali regional state. In the case of the Ogaden, it’s important to mention the historical dimension of this conflict. The ogaden was colonized by the British then by Italy and again by the British which ceded it to Ethiopia in 1948. Since then, all the successive Ethiopian governments including the current government treat the Somalis as a negligible minority, who have no rights whatsoever in their own country. It’s about a question of a right to self-determination even if this right is ensured in the Ethiopian Constitution, this remains a dead letter. The human rights organizations including the Humah Rights Wath, Genocide Watch have well documented the atrocity committed in this region. And the government rejected dozens of recommendations during the last UPR. African Rights Monitor recommends that: The Ethiopian government to: Stop all human rights violations and allow the UN full access to investigate Human right violations committed and give free access to international NGOs, and urgently to the ICRC to support the civilians detained Stop using the military and the para-military forces to collectively punish the civilian population and to engage a constructive dialogue with the rebel in aims of getting a peaceful solution. ARM recommends the Forum that the UN human rights organization have presences in the conflict zones, lack of UN presences gives carte blanche those who commit the crimes against minorities.
