A Cuban prisoner of war arrived in Ethiopia after his release from 10 years of jail in Somalia, Cuba's official Prensa Latina news agency reported. The agency said that Orlando Cardoso Villavicencio, 31, captured during the war between Somalia and Ethiopia in 1977-78, arrived on a plane full of Ethiopians. The men were the first of more than 3,000 Ethiopian war prisoners to be released over the next 20 days as part of a prisoner exchange arranged by the International Red Cross. Prensa Latina said Cardoso is the only Cuban among them. The chartered plane carried 111 Somalis on its return flight to Mogadishu


I am very sad because the book written by Abdullahi Ahmed Yusuf(somali warlord) is in somali language and I dont undertand somali language,I think I will never know the opinion of Ahmed Yusuf about Ogaden War.![]()
This is the title of the Ahmed Yusuf book: "Struggle and Conspiracy: A Memoir (Halgan iyo Hagardaamo: Taariikh Nololeed)"

WSLF was defeated by Ethiopians and SNM in 1985.
