The Somali army withdrew from the occupied Ogaden region; it was a strategic decision to withdraw. Ethiopia, the USSR and Cuba lost the war
Siad Barre has a different opinion about Ogaden War:
I think this is the decisive source about Ogaden War,Siad Barre accepting Somalia is not match to Soviet Union.Somalia can not fight with the Soviet Union or neither the Warsaw Pact,Somalia can not afford that.
So your sentence USSR lost the war is wrong.
Man you are talking to an expert about Ogaden War,I have been looking for sources about Ogaden War since I was child I know Ogaden War story very well,Ogaden War is part of my life.
Now send me your sources about Somali victory in 1978.
