[quote="Lord Diplock"]The problem for us is we dont live in one country. I was born in Adoonland and unlike my 1000s Ogadeni friends and relatives, I care about the plight of my people in Ogaden and also, for unknown reason, I want to see a functioning and strong Somali gov't in Somalia (I dont give a sh*t if the leader is Idoors, MJ, MR, Hawiyes futa madow

).
In Ogadenia, the Tigray are playing their cards astutely, they always make sure, non-Ogadenis Somali clans stir up some sh*t and sometimes, we fall for this tripe...see the case of the Sheikash fighting, those guys have been living with us for years (especially among M.Subeers) and since they couldn't become an MP or something like that in the Kilanka 5aad admin, they started looking for their 'own' place and they uprooted en mass and moved into someone's else (Cali Wannag in this cases) back yard and we have a civil war there for the last 9 yrs or so.
The Ogadens in the republic of Somalia until recently have been divided and were used and abused by both the Hawiyes and Daroods (i.e. Aden Gabyow AUN, was used by MJs, even Afbijo praised him in a stupid Qudbad he made in Garowe for bringing down a Somali peace process in Cairo some years ago). the MZs in Jubboyinka went to bed with Barre Hiraale (JVA) and got shafted in the process......Since the inception of the defeated ICU, Absame have been speaking in one strong voice and that is a good thing, long may it continue. Ameen.
The sijui Ogadens in Adoonland are the most ignorant of all Ogadenis in my humble opinion. We're deluded by the relative 'security' and 'prosperity' we have and we couldn't care less about other Ogadenis in Ogadenia especially (the expression, these are lunatic 'Galtic' is often used by them). this Abti of mine (Abdwaak) I met in Garissa town last summer told him: 'these guys [MZ] are causing us all sort of problems, they want to 'take' our city and they are buying our land and sh*t'....this moronic idiot never thinks as an Ogadeni man but as Abdwaak and believe, the whole world revolves around Garissa and his sub-clan

. I am afriad, we are a lost cause, I am depressed with Sijui Ogadeen.
The way forward:
Change ONLF's name to something palatable to other Somali clans, JXSG maybe.
Take leadership role from Mohamed Subeer in ONLF's affairs and handed it to another sub-clan, maybe Bah Geri or to old, safe hands, reer Cabdalle
Support a federal Somali gov't and never serve under Afbijo administration.
Educate the deluded and ignorant Sijui Ogadeenis about their people, history etc.
And declare war on MJs and Idoors.
that is all

lol horta walle nin ma'aqool ba tahay. We can sit and debate how to free our land. I agree all you've said here. Also Ogadens in Ogaden are divided too. Not only those in Somalia and Kenya. My opinion, and i know many will disagree, is leave Somalia to Somalis and back to our roots Ogaden. War tena naheysata maxa naga galay haweyah iyo darood ama isaaq?
The name change is good point I would replace O with I.
