You are a troubled child and you know nothing about the 1977 war. Who was the overall commander of the forces that counter attacked and defeated Barre's Army?

Look up the man, write three paragraphs of his role on the success of the operations then compare it your slave drug dealer.

[luis1]

Vasily Petrov was the russian commander of the allies forces in Ogaden.

luis can you tell me more in details how the cubans destroyed siyad bare forcess in 1977?

[luis1]

Of course my friend Khalid.

Look at this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogaden_War

The expected Ethiopian-Cuban attack occurred in early February. However, it was accompanied by a second attack that the Somalis were not expecting. A column of Ethiopian and Cuban troops crossed northeast into the highlands between Jijiga and the border with Somalia, bypassing the SNA-WSLF force defending the Marda Pass. The attackers were thus able to assault from two directions in a "pincer" action, allowing the re-capturing of Jijiga in only two days while killing 3,000 defenders. The Somali defense collapsed and every major Ethiopian town was recaptured in the following weeks. Recognizing that his position was untenable, Siad Barre ordered the SNA to retreat back into Somalia on 9 March 1978. The last significant Somali unit left Ethiopia on 15 March 1978, marking the end of the war.

Effects of the war

Following the withdrawal of the SNA, the WSLF continued their insurgency. By May 1980, the rebels, with the assistance of a small number of SNA soldiers who continued to help the guerilla war, controlled a substantial region of the Ogaden. However by 1981 the insurgents were reduced to sporadic hit-and-run attacks and were finally defeated.

The Ogaden War weakened the Somali military. Almost one-third of the regular SNA soldiers, three-eighths of the armored units and half of the Somali Air Force (SAF) were lost. The weakness of the Barre regime led it to effectively abandon the dream of a unified Greater Somalia. The failure of the war aggravated discontent with the Barre regime; the first organized opposition group, the Somali Salvation Democratic Front (SSDF), was formed by army officers in 1979.

After learning about the rout at Jijiga, Barre immediately announced that all Somali troops would be withdrawn from Ethiopia. It was too late: suffering catastrophic losses, the remaining Somali units dropped their weapons, fleeing north-east in complete disarray, pursued by Cuban tanks which drove through Jijiga and continued eastwards at a high pace. Behind them two Ethiopian divisions immediately started mopping-up operations, re-occupying Ogaden within the following week, and concluding their operations in the Jijiga area by 14 March

U.S.S.R + Ethiopia + South Yemen (dirty arabs) + Cuban dancers VS Somalia

A superpower along with three other countries against Somalia. If anything it shows how pathetic the Cubans are. They were forced to go, its not like a slave state like Cuba had any say in the decision making. It was the U.S.S.R that forced these dancers out of the Havana nightclubs
