Ogaden Voice for Peace

About Us

Ogaden Voice for Peace derives its support from the Ogaden Diasporas who believe in peace, democracy, justice, and freedom. To achieve its objectives, the Ogaden Voice for Peace will use all peaceful, moral, and political means within the framework of the American and international legal framework.

OVP has four fundamental and inseparable objectives:

To expose the massive violations of human rights taking place in the Ogaden and to persuade all governments and organizations concerned with the promotion of democratic principles to exercise their influence to bring this reign of terror to an immediate end
To draw the attention of the US Government and Congress to take an active and principled stand on the Ogaden issue, support the peaceful settlement of this dispute by bringing all concerned parties to the negotiating table.
To promote the unity of all Ogaden Somalis, irrespective of their political preferences, in adherence to the principle of self-determination.
To urge the Secretary General of the United Nations to designate a Special Envoy of recognized international standing and experience to visit the Ogaden region and investigate the situation with regard to the observance of human and political rights and to submit a factual report to the UN Security Council.
