1978 was the year Somali troops pull out with the soviet orders. How dumb can you be understanding this?. Without the super power intervention many cuban and Ethiopian's first language would have been Somali.

You are wrong Somali army was defeated at Harer battle and Jijiga battle by Cubans and Ethiopians. Those battles happened in 1978.

Somali army was no a match for Cubans.

Show me sources that prove Somalia defeated Cuba in 1978.

We swiftly took over one third of the ethipian territory and you are telling us that was not a defeat. The somali army were at the Gates of harar and the airport of diredawa before the Soviet block joined the war against us .

Darod, the eternal traitors, betrayed the Somali troops.

Here is the fall of Jigjiga. We beat the Ethioipans (hands down) till Soviets entered the war. Are you dumb enough asking us this question? Everybody knows that no one can stand a chance against a superpower like Russia, but we beat Ethiopians pound by pound.
Years and years you stuck with this endless "we defeated you" who is we? Russia was/is superpower that no one can stand a change even today.
You, Cubans,as you see, we paraded your dead bodies and POWs. Don't compare yourself with powerful Russia. Somalis withdrew from their captured town in fear of Russian intervention.
