somalia would have been one of the few countries in the world to win their independence by their own blood and sweat,and the only country in africa,ethiopia was the first but they only fought one big war the battle of adwa,and menelik II was a strong emperor.Somalis on the other hand fought for longer,and access to somalia was easier than access through the ethiopian highlands(just a theory might be wrong)this made somalia an easier target
but imagine that!! the most homogenous people in africa fought for a country of their own was the only muslim country in africa to be recognised and we came close to becoming the first african country to earn their own borders and not handed to them by a foreign power,cause even ethiopia were favoured because they were christians,ogaden was just handed to them and years later we tried to retake it and almost succeeded too,if ony somalis were united
