yeah his name is shaykh Jaara, Allah yarhamu.
he served 5 years in berbera prison because he refused to fight under the title somali abbo.
basically, he didn't wanna help siad barre illegally annex oromo lands in the east and south east.
he was trained with Palestinians and Yemenis.
and lol why is the flag funny?
The oromos and the ogadenis were sent to military training in Syria, when they came back to Somalia they went to a mission to fight in harerge region where they gained some successes in defeating the ethiopian empire armies over there.
Sorry, i meant the map....
It's funny because they took a huge chunk of our territory, as you can see.
yeah if siad didn't get greedy we would have both been free by now. but it's okay, it was Allah's will. we submit to it, and just have to struggle more, going forward. mistakes were made on both sides.
yeah i do not agree with the map myself. same way i do not agree with siad barre claiming all the lands up to the awash river.
I forgot to tell you that our leaders were also arrested during the 1977 war with Ethiopia, our leaders warned siad barre about invading ethiopia but rather that he should heavily arm us along with the oromos and instead raise our flag in every territory we captured.
Before the invasion in 1977, we gained huge goals in fighting the habesha for example the fight that took place in the haromaya area. The ethiopian army were mostly focused on the eritrean and tigray fight and had most of their military over there while they sendt old armies who fought in the adwa war to fight us
I have a video of one of our WSLF leaders who took part in those wars being interviewed but its in somali so you wouldnt understand.
You are absolutely right that siad barre made huge mistakes during the war.
