Every time I look back and remember how the ONLF army was going toe to toe with the Ethiopian occupation forces in Ogaden. How fiercely they were fighting, how committed the guys were to the cause and how Ogaden quickly turned their backs on them, just makes me angry and sad!
Sometimes I wonder to my self if the so much repeated assertion of Ogaden doqonimo has merit!
We can't defeat the west backed TPLF all alone and no doubt the ONLF waged a holy war against the Habashi but there isn't any external support from anywhere and yet again not all Ogaden clans are well represented in ONLF let alone the other Somalis in the region.
Maybe you can commit yourself to that freedom fighters but in reality majority of our people are tired off in engaging a losing war with the Habesha.The Laangaab Somali clans are our enemies let alone them helping us in our fight with Ethiopia.They do occasionally betray us and collaborate with the Habashi.So,what's is the way forward ? Whats is the Solution? Let's embrace our ethiopness without leaving our ideals and long live dreams of independence. Let's unite and get some peace to develop our region and in that process ,we will get a platform where we can slowly grow our muscles before we can strike them forcefully in their time of weakness .Let's forget about our differences and forget about somaliweyn shit.
I think,united we can stand firm against all odds.Ogaden people love ONLF and they didn't betrayed them but they understood how the modern politics of the horn works and l don't love the LIYU that much but at the end of the day they are Ogaden forces who do occasionally crush rival clans .That's the only thing l like about our Ethopian forces
