A doctor by profession & dear brother of mine is in prison currently in Jigjiga, Ogaden with out any charges for two months. This is not the first time he was arrested, last time they (Ethiopian Government) arrested him, he was held for 90 days & released with out any charges or an explanation of why he was detained. & no doubt in mind he had his share of torture. People who live around Jigjiga whom we are in touch with informed us (my family) that there is a prison out side the city(Jigjiga) that is run or at least partially funded by U S dollars. Us Americans my think that they don’t know, but the fact is the other way, we may want to be wise with our tax dollars if we need to win the hearts & minds of those victims.
