WTF is Somali-Galbeed? Supporters n Opponents Come In

[Queen_Arawello]

Somali galbeed horta xagey map ka aduunka kaga jirtaa??? All historical documents and Map ka aduunka has Ogaden written all over it.Anybody who thinks the Ogadenia will be remaned to Somali-Galbeed is high on crack,wadanka Ogaden baa la dhihi jiray, hada la dhahaa, lana dhihi doonaa..liq ama tuf...ka nax ama ku farax.


Those who are advocating for the renaming of Ogadenia to " Somali-Galbeed and ONLF to Wester Liberation Somali Front ( WLSF) seem to have a problem with the word 'O' no matter how long you explain why the word is there and where it originated from they still come back to that same 'O' word , such people are narrow minded, fail to see beyong they clan mentality and fail understand that Ethiopian army doesn't care whether they're from different tribe, xasuuqa dadka shacabka is a collective punishment..It's a shame these individuals place more emphasis on the 'O ' and ignore the extent of what the Ethiopian army are doing to the civilians of that regin. We all know division is an advantage for the occupier and as long as these group of people that are against the 'O' name exist, the occupier will penetrate us even further.

Another misconception these group of people have is that they ignorantly believe only one tribe are fighting in ONLF as, this is highly misleading because qabiil walba oo Soomaliyeed ayaa ku jira ONLF, believe it or not ofcourse the 'O' are more but there are non OG's that are fighting along with they fellow brothers.! It is a regional organization comprised of thousands of men and women from different tribes.

Now coming back to the the term "somaligalbeed" ,it might come as shock to some of you but this term wass introduced during the Said Barre AUN era for political correctness reasons and was used during Siad Barre's time, a time when he wanted Ogadenia to unite with Somalia.Why should the ONLF use somaligalbeed? The region is NOT located in Somalia and it is not named Somaligalbeed. It is called Ogadenia and it will continue to be called Ogadenia..wadanka Ogaden baa la dhihi jiray, hada la dhahaa, lana dhihi doonaa..liq ama tuf...ka nax ama ku farax.


Naming the region somaligalbeed will reinforce ideas that the ONLF is fighting to reunite with Somalia. Doing so will make it seem like the ONLF is opting to seperate from Ethiopia to create greater somalia, which will cause negative reaction from the international community, thus forcing them to lose credibility for their cause. This is a war between Ethiopia and the ONLF. A war between the people in the region and their government! This is how the world perceives it and the ONLF is not going to jeopardize that by naming themselves "Somaligalbeed national liberation front" or anything in reference to Somalia as a means of pleasing narrow minded people and qabiil bigots that find any excuse to crticise the resistant movement.


The WLSF had their own interest and the interest of the somali population in the region never made it to the list! Siad Berre wanted to create greater somali, and it is because of this reason we failed in 1977. The O in the ONLF is for Ogadenia and Ogadenia is the name fo the region. This shows the world that this is a regional war, not one aimed at creating a bigger state! If u were in favor of the WLSF and their goals, then start advocating for the union between Somalia and Somaliland and the rest of 'greater somalia' lands.Another reason why the Resistant movement will not change its name is because it is fighting to seperate from Ethiopia and become a seperate and sovereign Independent state, while the WLSF wanted to unite Ogadenia with Somalia and form what is known as greater Somalia.


In conclusion the correct term of the region is Ogaden as it always was and will be..Somali-Galbeed is not applicable and ONLF will not be renamed reasons being this will hamper the struggle and prolong the suffering of the civilian population.


So now can the supporters of 'Somali-Galbeed' enlighten us with their case

[Khalid Ali]

Oke no problem but ogaden should not fight to re unite with Somalia if this is the case

[GENERAL_SNM]

So inorder to gain international help for your course you have unintentionally named the region after yourself without consulting any of the other tribes who inhabit the land with you? In the process you have alienated these tribes who could have offered you local help on the ground but thats not important to you, is it? This is the attitude thats ensured you make little to no
success. You guys have two stage battle, one is the current one against the tigrees the other if you are successful will be against your fellow somalis who will not be happy about being dominated by you guys, as they have always seen you as opponents.

GNSNM do you know in the early 1988s - ilaa 1990 - siad bare was arming the ogaden Groups including ONLF to fight against - SNM -Habar yonis Faction in somali Galbeed - but they were easily overun - by the SNM - - Hy was surrendered by a sea of Enemies - the south to ogaden - the east to the Majirteen and Marehans - they had to come over all those Obstacles . before they finally decided to liberate - Burco and Erigavo under Ahmed Mire



and the HJ faction dealt well with the dhulbahante in the Hawd - Disarming them



The Search for Peace

"During the war with the Siyaad Barre regime, the Habar Yunis -Ethiopian
towns of Dannood and Gashaamo were particularly prone to conflicts with the neighbouring darood clans armed by Siad Barre "




"Hassan Esa Jama on SNM as a model for
democracy:
“Some of our Ethiopian friends were very curious to
understand SNM’s internal conflict resolution. They
often asked us how a movement in a struggle frequently
changed its leadership, in a peaceful manner, and
without affecting the progress of its struggle… They
wanted to learn democracy from the SNM as
democracy requires change of leadership without
separation or fighting each other”.
[Hassan Esa Jama was a founder of SNM, Vice Chair in
1991, and the first Somaliland Vice-President.]
(Jamaac, 2007)"




"The Isaaq elders took a major role in the struggle against Siyaad Barre’s regime. They collected subscriptions
to support the struggle, and recruited militia from their clans. They also acted as mediators within the SNM
in an effort to maintain cohesion. The SNM recognised the importance of this role, increasingly formalising
a council of elders or guurti as an advisory body within the Movement whose remit extended to resource
mobilisation (Siilaanyo, 2007a).

Somali galbeed is better because its more of an inclusive name for everyone that lives in the region, Rather than ogadneiya which is an exclusive name.
