ONLF should just give in and work within Federal Ethiopia.

Of course, politically for Somalia, this whole so-called Ogadeen Region has been drain and suicidal mission.

How could it be politically draining and suicidal for Somalia when Somalia itself is in the same position as Ogadenia is today?

[new-york24]

the armed resistance should be given up...

if the whole region wants independence, it can go straight to the constitution of Ethiopia where it says there is a political process for federal regions to want to break away

but sadly the guns is what our people only know

Tried it more than once,the response was "hell no,heres a bullet".Have any of you ever read up on the history and what led to the current conflict

If they did, we wouldn't be having this discussion NY.

I give somalis the benefit of the doubt,Maybe I am being a bit naive

[DANGIRL]

Being naive is what got us in this whole mess to being with. If we started shoving our size 20 boots up everyone arses we would have been in a different situation.

Somalia's geo-political competition with Ethiopia drove Somalia into fragmentation. Somalia paid and is still paying a terrible price fighting for a non-consequential territory. So, yea, it was and is still a suicidal dream for Somalia and one the next generation needs to look past.

I agree with people when our views converge and I disagree with them when I have to. I am not an automaton with a pre-programmed logic.

In brute honesty, I could careless about whether Ogaden Region is liberated or occupied for the next 1000 years. I think the future of the Ogaden Region is dependent upon the wishes and views of the people who call it home. My comments were pragmatic and with view of the current ground realities. No need to feel uneasy about my words. I don't wish you guys anything short of all the best.

I used to not pay them any mind till the iley thing in MN,they went from carrying his shoes to call him "the Og hitler",grown men who claim to hold phd's acting like their six months pregnant while the husband is on vacation I love that site.

[AbdiWahab252]

Never.

The brotherly ONLF must be supported Frankly, I have nothing but admiration for the Ogadenis. When all the other clans in Somali Galbeed gave in, they still fight on. Ethiopia is a beast who will not be satisfied until it rules the entire peninsula. It is most unfortunate that there are Somalis who believe that they can live with an Empire like Ethiopia.

What is next, Israel is a friend of the Arab world. India supports rights of Kashmiris ?

I may have qualms with my Ogadeni friends from time to time but they are family and all families have disagreements but what is Xabash to me ?

Abdiwahab,the affairs of walaalaha wardheer shouldnt be made public,move in silence and violence baan isku ogeen waa ku sidee.

ETHIOPIA Somali wax uma ogala umana ogolaan doonto , dhibkase waa isku duubni la,aanta dadka ogadenia dagan , hadey mid noqdaan wey soo dhacas karaan xaqooda lakin xabasho injirley waligaa hakuugu cayaarto ,gobnimo udhimaaa dhaanto , lakin qaab dagaal ee ONLF waa iney wax ka badalaan ,horumayaanna . viva freedom fighters.

Fighting for ethnic secessionism and petty revolutionaries and counter-revolutionaries are so played out in my opinion. I mean look at Somalia with a majority stock sharing same culture, language, culture, etc. Where is peace and prosperity? Yet the most prosperous countries are almost always multi-cultural and multi-ethnic. What is the point of continuing to fight for ethnic irredentism in this fast globalizing world? The whole nation-state is increasingly being marginalized by multinationals. Should ONLF continue the emotional notions of pride and honor and not giving in or should they become practical and accept the state the world recognizes they are part of and work from within? The outcome might surprise us all. I am reminded of the old adage it is better to bring in a horse with sugar than the whip.

"Should ONLF continue the emotional notions of pride and honor and not giving in"

From all the things that is going on in the world today if anything, those arab bastards aiding the west with their made-believe revolution are the ones who should give up. The ONLF are fighting a just cause from every way you look at it. I could have understood if you said they need to try a different approach/tactics, but GIVE UP?


"it is better to bring in a horse with sugar than the whip"

^Is this above meant for Ethiopia? I thought the ONLF are not interested in bringing in any ethiopian horse other to keep theirs in their stable.

Ps...turning the other cheeck is a christian concept and has no place in Islam!
