1. Halganka onlf is it be independent from the Xabashis and then to join with Somalia or is it to become a completely independent state?
2. Are you fighting for the lands only settled by Ogadeni clans or for the whole Kilinka shanaad? It the answer is only Kilinka shanaad, then how will you react if other Somali clans dont want to be part of a new country called Ogadenia or be part of your new country?

The poeple in the Ogaden want self determination with their political, social and economic frame work. I am sure you already know why we want self determination of our lifes and lands!
We didnt wake up one day and decide to name the Region, it is the officially recognised name by the United Nations and the colonial powers. A refrendum can be held after self determination inshallah, it can be named whatever the residents agree on!
If other somali dont want to be part of future self governing Ogadeniya, then the have the self right to decide what they wish. However, i do wish to focus on your assumption of ''other clans'' want to opt out. if you think ONLF is run only by OGs, think again. there are idoors, obviously other absames, Dir etc. This talk of ''other clans'' is one fueled by emotional, envious somali based clans/tribes and the habashis.
are we gona be part of somalia? are we really in a postion to talk of such far fetch frame works??. this is not the equivalent of moldova joining the EU sxb. Somalia is in need of sorting herself first. I can only speak personally for my opinions. If somalia is peaceful when Ogadeniya is self governing, i would prefer complete free trade with them and to ''hand'' our selfs over completely to a future stable somali state, again depends on the residents!
