Addis Ababa -Defence Force Sports Club has awarded cash bonuses for three of its players who represented Ethiopia at the CECAFA Challenge Cup in Tanzania, wrote Libro.
Oumed Oukri, the team’s midfield general and Ethiopia’s top scorer at the tournament with 4 goals received 2,000 Birr, while Bedasso Hora and Samuel received 1,500 Birr each.
Earlier this month, the Ethiopian Football Federation (EFF) had awarded Oumed 7,000 Birr at a reception ceremony following the team’s return from Tanzania. This brings Oumed’s total bonus award to 9,000 Birr.
Oumed has scored 7 goals in all competitions this season, with 3 goals for his club Defence Force in the Ethiopian Premier League competition and 4 for the national team in the CECAFA Tournament.
Oumed is the second most successful player to come out from the Gambela Region of Ethiopia, after the late Okelo Abulo, who played his club soccer at St. George FC.

Was Okello a right wing forward playing for Saint George? Does any one remember a story where imperial defense force club (Mechal) met with Saint George in imperial past Ethiopia in which the defense players started violence when they knew saint George was outclassing them. Yidnekachew told the Saint George players to leave the field and after negotiation they returned back and won the game in style leaving the defense players in tears (ex. Arefayne was crying). Okello was instrumental in that game i heard. Any one who was in the stadium can please tell us. I also heard that military teams were banned from playing with civilian teams after wards until the military takeover of government.
