Times have changed and perspective must change. Politics is a dynamic game, much like chess, so it is important to continuously develop your skills. A decade ago ONLF was doing a fantastic job in the ogaden but look at what happened to them today. They have lost lots of men, resources and people were killed, villages burned, women raped, elders imprisoned as a repercussion for their rebellion against the axmaar kufaar. The change came with Ethiopia learning how somalis function as people. How they clan dynamics work and how they can be used against each other. They always knew this but it is as though they have been taking notes for centuries and suddenly they are at a place where they can glance their notebook and say "we have got enough info".
Reasons why we need to only change the ogaden name:
The simplest and the most obvious reason is that as long as we keep the name we'll forever fight a war that we will never win. Ethiopia challenges Egypt on issues regarding the nile river. They pretty much are in control of Somalia and not a while ago they were causing some havoc for Kenya. This should show how much military power they have got and us being a ONE qabiil of somalia cannot fight them on our own. Maybe if all of ogaden were united and we had the same military equipment as they do we probably would stand a chance but that is not the case. We are not united, they have armed the traitors amongst us, and other somalis form the region feel alienated and they have no reason to join the war.
If all somalis were involved, we probably would have done better than we did so far. Now some of you might argue we have lost so much lives and have invested so much to free the damned place. True but that doesn't mean we stubbornly stick to ways that all of us know is not going to work. ONLF is simply not the solution and before it used to be we used to fight the Ethiopians but now we can't even touch them because we have their dogs in between us.
Most of you should know that in the even the land becomes free, regardless of how many somalis get involved, ogaden will always a fair representation since they are the single biggest clan in the land. It is time to re prioritize and bring in other somalis who are intersted. This is especially important now since Ethiopia is going through a lot and if another axmaar party seizes power, it won't make a difference for us somalis. Our best interest is to stay united and is to fully know that we have the same enemy and that our survival is contingent upon our coorperation.
Lastly, if Ethiopia did fall today, do you really thing ONLF can storm in the ogaden area and secure it? No. They don't even have enough number to secure the entire land.
ka fikira.
Dir should not go anywhere since they are needed and important to sweet talk their Qoti cousins in Bale and Harar into returning our land.Everyone should unite to bring down the xabashi but we should go our separate ways after
Dir is going to Djibouti and Isaaq is going to somaliland inshallah mDir should not go anywhere since they are needed and important to sweet talk their Qoti cousins in Bale and Harar into returning our land.Everyone should unite to bring down the xabashi but we should go our separate ways after
No troops from any somali qabiil or region can protect its citizens from Ethiopia. The sooner we all come to terms with that that better.
Imo Ogaden is the best option. calling it Somali Galbeed is very stupid and will politically hurts us once again. Plus, there is no other name for the region other than "The Ogaden" so why not use this name? The name has long history and is internationally recognized.
I agree that the ONLF have to change their strategy because more and more people seem to be losing faith in them but changing the name will not help at all. If you create a new "WSLF" It will be the exact same situation as always with only Ogaden fighting and others hiding in their tuulos. The minority have no real man power and they never really made any difference so why change the name for them? They are our brothers and we need them but changing the name is asking too much. We should instead make sure the relationship is smooth between us so others can't use them against us. We Shouldn't make the mistake twice
If your reason for choosing "Somali Galbeed" is because of the Somalis outside the border helping us then that's understandable but don't hold your breath. Marka stay with Ogaden, the famous name that the world knows or come up with a new name laakin this S. Galbeed shit is gonna fuck us up big time ee nagadaa

Haha. Let them join their clansmen....it will only expose their fake claims of being stakeholders in the regionIf they want to abandon their Oromized Sheegato cousins and all that green highland weather prime land plus the Harar city to be part of Djibouti then so be it. someone else will claim those lost qotis and their lands. Most likely Geri Kombe inshallah since they are the nearest to them after Dir
I don't want us baby sitting anyone you don't want to be part of the country then gtfo.
Thankfully the best most strategic places from Jigjiga city to the Shabelle valley belong to Absame so we won't lose anything if corner tribes decided to bailout.
