The Ethio-Somali region has always been a periphery region with a heavy reliance on Oromia for produce of consumable goods. The Somali region simply doesn't hold a candle to Oromia in that sense. In fact the Somali-Ethio region is a drain on resources and is a fifth column and a liability to Ethiopia. Hopefully further oil production and exploitation of Somali oil resources can help address this.
