ONLF have to be the most useless rebel group of all time

[Rambie]

TBH

I don't care if ONLF won or lost.
It's there battle.

ONLF is the reason why the Ethiopian army no longer venture into the k5. The only thing hindering ONLF from achieving its goals are other Somalis not the axmar you speak of. All over Somali today the ONLF card is overused and abused as a way to gain favors from the starving nation you mentioned. Puntland, Somaliland, liyuu police and ahlu sunah have all used the ONLF card to lie in bed with Ethiopia and they work for Ethiopia and do Ethiopia's bidding. So no ONLF is not only engaged with Ethiopia and its army..it is also at war with the groups I have mentioned who would sell their wives and daughters if Ethiopia commands. Every little accomplishments ONLF gains you have the aforementioned groups trying to sabotage it.

Second a resistance whether fruitful or fruitless is a resistance and any form of resistance whether fruitful or fruitless is better than total submission. ONLF chose to stand up and fight when every one else chose the easy route which was not to fight. The question I have for you why don't you highlight how Ethiopia call the shots in Somalia? How they tell every mamulkusheeg president what to do and how to do it? Why don't you mentione how the president of the entire Somalia is summoned to adis ababa at will where he is told to implement whatever that Ethiopia wants? ONLF chose to fight when the rest of the Somalis have given up and bent over for Ethiopia to exploit, steal, rape, loot, rule, and literally conquer Somali and Somalis everywhere.

We have uncle toms like rooble who will bootyclap for Ethiopia as if its his country but will not miss an opportunity to demean and insult his follow Somalis in Somalia. It is certainly better to be an ONLF and never gain inch of a land and fight rather to be an asslicking Ethiopian stooge who submits to a long life of servitude like the above guy and yourself.

Can u please keep somaliland from ur mouth u C R E T I N S

[GIJaamac]

Yeah true. ONLF hasn't captured single village in Kilil5 since they came to existence. I very much think ONLF is a xabashi creation. That's the only logical reason for their ineffectiveness.

True, it is the same as Liyuu police who come under Addis Ababa

[Hodan94]

Onlf need to reform u cant have the same name and policy for 50 years.
They need to welcome all tribes if they want to suceed.
New tactics r needed. Vut i guess theyre in even worse position now than lets say 25yrs ago.
The amount of somalis that originate from killi5 waving the ethiopian flag, calling themselves erhiopian nationalist is too much. Even my friend considers herself ethiopian first somali second.
That will be hard to crack... estv is also a big problem. And contributes to this brainwashing agenda.



Only killi5 can save themselves. There is no point is somalis from elsewhere to be commenting or fighting for them when they themselves dont have the courage. I lost 4 uncles to the pointless 77 war... i will give moral support for those wanting to be free but not militarily risking me or my families life... we've done it once never again.

Well said Meta.

ONLF were not armed during the regime fall.

TPLF know that ONLF are not useless but are willing to negotiate with them. we no longer have ethiopian army base in our region only dabadhilf caadaqatayaal ah baa isku soo haray insha allah we will clean up those dirts too

why not sxb

niyahow ethiopia collapsed the same time as somalia and most people from that region went back there as a civilians..qaxooti cararayo baan ahayn. onlf at that time was only a political party..they wanted to get independence but tplf said we will do refrendum after a year and then we can decide our future lakin things didnt go as we expected.

you can do more research on ur own before you called us useless..are we more useless than olf or all other resistance groups that exist in ethiopia. hadalkaga waxan ka dhadhansaday caadifad.
those people claiming that onlf is representing a specific clan are the same people insisting its only ogaden who are under colony

[luis1]

I would like to know if ONLF fought against Derg and Mengistu.

Some people say ONLF was created in 1984 but began armed struggle in 1994.

If they even utilise half the effort they put in Dhaanto they would've liberated k5 a long time...sadly, it's just 'alla dirgax' with no action.

This is false, ONLF was created in 1984 and began war in 1994.

Check out the opinion of Mohamed Osman

[Asharq Al-Awsat] When was the ONLF founded, and what are the goals for which it is fighting?

[Osman] The ONLF was founded in 1984, but began armed action 10 years later, in 1994, after the ruling party in Ethiopia reneged on its promises to the political parties and to the peoples of Ethiopia and revoked an agreement to resolve the Ogaden issue in a peaceful way. The front's goal is to liberate this region from the Ethiopian occupation.
