Irony of All Ironies

Post by guhad122 »

One thing I don’t understand is that most Somalis think Ogadenia is only for the Ogadens. Ogadenia is the name of the land and in the process of finding it's freedom, we are going to use that name. Now, if you are Ogaden from Waamo or NFD, the Dhabayaco and their likes right away make the assumption that you are from Ogadenia. If you are an ugly and hideous Reer Biciidyahan from Galaadi or Bookh, you are a Somali. If you are a Dhulbahante from howd in Ethiopia, you are still a Somali. If you are Mareexaan from Doollo, you are a Somali, but if you are Ogaadeen from Ogadenia you are labeled Ethiopian. Why is that?

The fact of the matter is the only clan whose majority refuses to become Ethiopians are the Ogadens while all the other Somali clans from Ogadenia carry the shoes for the Wayane. Ilaah ha u naxariistee Maxamed Siyaad Barre was born in Ethiopia and no one is questioning his Somaliness. Wasn’t he technically an Ethiopian?

Somalis are Somalis no matter where they live.

Xaamud;
That is the way it should be brother because the enemies that divided Somalia and had broken it into five pieces wanted to divide us since a United Somalia is a powerful nation.

But do you see the irony here though? That many brainless and gutless Somalis label Ogaadeens as Ethiopians when they are the only clan in Ethiopia that stands against the Wayane.
