luis,

WSLF was just the jabhad, but WSLF along with Somalia were defeated by Ethiopia, Cuba, Russia, and you can even put American backstabbers in that list.

XX,

The only part of your comment I understood was that onlf hijacked wslf, which is incorrect since the same very leaders of the wslf were the ones that found onlf

luis,

Yes they did fight the Amharas side by side with the Tigrey and other minor factions

XX,

Yes the top leaders of the wslf were mostly Ogaden. Answer me this why did the wslf cease to exist after onlf was created?
