In a June 2008 report, Human Rights Watch found that the Ethiopian National Defense Force and the ONLF had committed war crimes in the Somali region between mid-2007 and early 2008, and that the Ethiopian armed forces could be responsible for crimes against humanity.
Warbixin ay Human Rights Watch soo saartay bishii Juun 2008, ayay ku ogaatay in Ciidanka Qaran ee Difaaca Itoobiya iyo Jabhadda ONLF, ay labaduba deegaanka Soomaalida ka gesyteen dembiyo dagaal, muddadii u dhexeysay bartamihii 2007 iyo horraantii 2008, iyo in milateriga uu mas’uul ka noqon karo dembiyo ka dhan ah aadanaha.
