But the crisis is little known because of media restrictions by the government. It borders Djibouti, Kenya, and Somalia. The people there are predominantly ethnic Somali and Muslim. It is also home to a separatist campaign led by the Ogaden National Liberation Front, or ONLF, which has fought for independence since 1984. Ethiopian forces waged an offensive against the rebels in late 2007 after an attack on a Chinese-run oil facility. Last week Ethiopia's government held peace talks with the ONLF in Kenya.
