Thousands of Ogadens perished fighting Ethiopia they could have easily freed Sool and Sanaag and the Ogaden would have a place to be themselves free of Xabeshi. Wasakhgeli and Dhulmahante are incompetent and laangaabs and Dabayaco is fulay.

Yawn

Yeah yeah!

it would have been worthwile!

The Mad Mullah already fought in Somaliland and he was defeated. Ogaden always got their priorities wrong, Emperor Menelik II
was annexing and encroaching on their land yet Sayyid Mohamed Abdullah Hassan rather than fighting in his own backyard
was busy with Somaliland.


Menelik II the man who conquered much of modern day Ogaden territory between 1889 to 1913, which is the exact time
Mohamed Abdullah Hassan was also fighting in Sland.

You do know they were fighting the British and if they fight your incompetent military they could easily liberate Sool and Sanaag

when did Ogaden make British and italian Sl their priority?

"Ogaden" in the late 19th century didn't exist. every major subclan was doing their own thing.

The Makahil and Bah Gari were part of the Darawiish and half of the Mohamed Zubeir were dealing with Menelik while the other half + the other two big clans (Cawlyahan & Tolomoge) were deep in the Jubbas and expanding into NFD.

Ogaden were only giving priority to their sub sub clans at that time. as an Cabdalle in the 19th century I would've probably gotten more love from Isaaqs, Majeerten and Hawiyes than my C/waaq cousins who are under the same Tolomoge umbrella as me markaas baad naleedahay Ogaden giving priority to SL

The Ogaden clan is a sleeping giant. If they focus and unite against TPLF, I'm sure they would succeed. They have the manpower and a sizeable diaspora that can provide intellectual, logistical, financial and political support to achieve this.

Instead, we have Qudhun Liyu Police, Xayraan Jabhad ONLF, Ina Iley The Dabaqoodhi and of course plenty of Dhaanto. AGAH!
