‘’The 18 elders were led by Ugas Mohammed Dulane and met Prime Minister Meles Zenawi in Addis Ababa on June 29th. It was the first time that elders from the Somali region had been personally received by the Prime Minister. In view of this novelty and in remembrance of Meles Zenawi’s earlier refusal to meet the elders at the beginning of the year, the event was widely interpreted as a political success for the Ogaden. During the meeting the elders deplored the insecurity and underdevelopment of their home areas and requested more political representation in line with their clans’ population size.
Furthermore, they asked the Prime Minister to engage in negotiations with the ONLF. Meles Zenawi acknowledged the problems described by the elders and promised to take care of them personally. At the same time he repeated Abay Tsehaye’s call to the Ogaden elders not to elect CUD candidates in the August 21st elections. While no written record exists of this meeting, all sources concur that the Ogaden elders and the Prime Minister agreed on the following quid pro quo. The elders offered their support for SPDP candidates in the coming elections in return for the government’s readiness to engage in negotiations with the ONLF and to promote politicians selected by the elders. An Ogadeni intellectual who followed the meeting closely summed up the outcome of the negotiations thus:
The Prime Minister told the elders: We will give you ministerial posts in Addis Ababa, make the regional president an ogadeni, and six somali regional politicians to be nominated will become ambassadors. Plus, we will enter into discussions between ONLF and EPRDF for a peaceful solution!’

waachis my oromo cosuin, how are you warya?
you wrote some interesting stuff, non suprise, there are 26 somali tribes in DDSI but haile and zenawi both always tried to appease only the Ogadens because they are the only ones brave enough and confident enought to bug up arms
they even named the country Ogadeniya, they have balls whilst idoors and others like marehana and majerteens in DDSI did what they were told, we gave the middle finger,
we have confidence and braveness, other somalis waa cowards,
are yuo lot happy with abiye? do you support him
have they found the bomber
Alhamdulilah, I'm okay; what's up ogadeni nationalist?
Yeah the isaaq guys like khalid get mad, but I always try to back up what I say, with historical proof.
Every time an ethiopian government wants to negotiate, it's through ogadenis, the question is why?
i think it's obvious. it's most likely because the ogadenis are dominant numerically.
and it was the darood-ogadenis, who led the expansion into those areas and beyond (in kenya).
So far, we are content with abiy, but we will wait and see. it takes time to see what is truly up.
so far, he is slowly getting rid of the old tplf corrupt elites, which is what we all want, and benefit from.
a tplf commander got arrested, recently, trying to escape ethiopia, which means the tplf elites must be panicking.
they have a lot of money and houses in america, europe, australia, etc, so we'll see if they escape or get caught like commander teklay.
i support the new pm as long as he is different from tplf. OLF just got welcomed home yesterday. he removed OLF and ONLF from the fake terrorist list. and more to come, so....
haile salese once remaked "Ogadne is ethiopia , ethiopia is Ogaden" meaning if there is Ogaden leaves ethiopia is no more,
we are superior , more organsied and confident and more intleggent than other somalis, when khalids opeople were naked centuries ago we were fighting with diverse races like oromo, ahmaar and bantus and nilothics in mount kenya
i am off the royal family, just as sub clan, to this day wehn Ogadnes meet me or online they give me coursety as Ugaas/sultan, they open doors for me and repsect me, this is why oagden managed to conquer lands, they had system, of leadership they respect,
marehans and idoors have killed their leaders, majerteens have had sulta cosuins that attacked each other,
if ethiopia and ONLF and cabdi iley can sit down in nairobi, so can the two great races of east africa, the OGaden race is prepared for peace with our cushtic cousins on cenrtain conditins:
the lands of our subjects in dira dawa, those assimilated by oromi be returned,
the subejcts that have run away to yuo inclduing idoor, sheekale, jaarso, akisho, gurgure, gadabursi etc should be returned, if you want kill the men but retuen the female and kids,
no oromo chat can fly directly to somalia with out being taxed by DDSI,
oromo will always demand to only deal with Ogadne presdeints of the region and rspect the heavenly imposed right of Ogadne always being in charge of DDSI or Ogadneiya when ethipia burns insha ALLah and we inevtiablly bbecome a nation,
some of our allies, like Hararis, should not be harmed or their land inavded by oromo, there has been 4 Ogaden presdients in Harara kilil, yuo shoudl accept hat harar is an Oagden enclave and sphere of infleunce and there land is as sacred as Imey or Qoarxey
the orormo race is suffeinct in numbers thus should cut all ties with ahmaar,
in return when ethiopia burns we will support you and you should have acces to kismayo port and Oagden marekts,
when ethiopia burns we will support your muslims against your kuffar enemies though they are of your race,
you accept Ogaden is not a tribe but a race with its own language called Agah language and culture and uniqie geentic markers and hisotry and genome, thus Oagdne is to be called Oagden adn idoors and others to be called somali,
ideallty the 240 woredas stolen from our subjects in now oromia region but originally par of DDSI shoudl be retunred, it happened in 1999,
the safty of our subects, the various somali tribes is impratnt and only an Ogaden can lead them and kill them, when they step out of land, #
feel free to asmilate through force the somali trivbes like idoor and shekaale etc that have run to yuor lands causing trouble, as long as islam is theier deen, asmsilate their language and culture, yuo have already done to karabnely and ciise tribes,
in the even that oromia become s a nation when and if atatcked we will supoprot you,
you will fully aid us in the support of burnign down ethiopia since its inevatle and we need our Ogadneiya back, in return we will share the somali tribes we bopth rule as subject classes
wehn we are nations insha Alah we will both have free trade and mutualy defence alliance,
all oromos resdieng in the NFD such as boran will be part and parcel the spehre of Oagden NFD
since we are a war like race, oromia will solely purchase weapons made by the Oagden nations, sicne we know war we will give you great amazing weapons,
a joint space propgram to be estbalished by both races wehn ethiopia brakes apart insha Allah , there is space minerals,
when ethiopia ends, we will split the ahmaar an tigre races and use them as slaves and servants to till the farms,
ahmmar and tigre should be used for medciall experiments to develop wepaosn fr the betterment of humansa nd our pharma sectors, idoors and other somali tribes deemed inferior will also be used,
harar and canfaar will becoem respective nations uder Ogaden hedgmenony,
oromia will provide 10 million attacive females to boost our poplation, i want each oagden men between 16-70 having atleast 4 wives each wife aged between 15-29 so we can have lots of babaie in order to have sildeirs to be prepared for war and conquest,
once we are nations insha Allah all omali tribes will be sold, the females wil, be sold to Nigerians and other fufus, their kidneys sold and the men will be worked To death on farms and reconstruction, thus somalia will be taken over by the superior dominat race, Ogaden,
in return for your support, we will depart ahmaars left over from slavery and mdeicla tastes to congo 9the men and ugly females, you keep the hot females0,
oromo men will; be forbidn to marry oadgen girls since its unnatural to marry one another, though we will take 10 million of yuor hottest females, tjhey must be tall abnd ideally Arsi since they are the closest to hararis and Oagdens in features and height,
giving our females to other races is unnatural
