Is It "Western Somalia" OR "Ogadenia" ?

Post by The Magnificent »

I'm really confused. Who gave the name "Ogadenia" to Western Somalia? Obviously, it has to be the Colonial powers, whose main objective was to create a situation where all the different clans in Western Somalia could fight over that particular area.

Western Somalia Clans:

Ogaden
Harti
Habar Yoonis
Mareexaan
Habar Jeclo
Cidigaalle
Oromo
Boraan
Aruuza
Harari
Garre
Ciise
Gedobursi


SO, why is it called "Ogadenia", when the Ogaden-clan are actually the minority of Western Somalia, compare to the other clans that reside in Western Somalia. So, do you believe it should be called "Ogadenia" even though there are over 10 other clans that reside in Western Somalia? Or not?

** Ogaden-clan has been brainwashed into thinking that a country called "Ogadenia" should be established. How can a clan's name be a country's name? :lol: And...how can one clan claim to be the sole inheritors of Western Somalia? :lol:

Ogaden-clan Settlements in Western Somalia:

Gabridahar (Ogaden)
Dagaxbuur (Ogaden)
Godey (Garre iyo Hawiye also live with them.. :lol: )
Qalaafo (Small tuulo with some Hawiye residents)
Wardheer (East Wardheer is Harti and West Wardheer is Ogaden...half and half basically)
Danood (Harti)
Bokh (Harti)
JigJiga ( Somalia oo dhan PLUS, Hararians, Oromo, Aruuza, Ciise, etc.)

THAT'S ABOUT IT...RIGHT? :lol:
