Str8outtadire, pay no attention to people driven by cuqdad, as you can see the clear hate they have for others, while they expect Allah to help them :snoop:

Siad Barre retreated from Ogaden because he could not defeat Cubans,Russians and Ethiopians.

Somali Army was no match for the Cuban troops.

LOL, withouth interference, Kacaan-era Somalia would absolutely obliterate Cuba. Fidel Castro would be captured and tortured in front of thousands of people in the centre of Havana.

I think Barre left Ogaden because Soviet Union and Cuba betrayed him.

I like this music:

Thank you very much for your answer.

But I have a doubt why Abdullahi Yusuf and Mohamed Farah Aidid say Ogaden War was a defeat for Somalia? :roll:

Why are you asking the same thing for the last 7+ years? Are you writing a book or something?
