Somalia outright won the Ogaden War the only L we took was the Soviet and Cuban intervention. The Soviets knew that even if they supplied the Ethiopians with arms it would still not be enough they had to send white men in infantries to push us back.

Ethiopia has a population 10 to 12 times our own and despite all the support the west gives to Ethiopia's ambitions of regional hegemony they still remain underdeveloped and weak. If Somalis got that sort of support from the powers that be, we would have been the most significant state in Africa and the Middle East.
Nevertheless, no great country is born because other great powers wanted it to be. Great countries are forged through hardship, sacrifice and great strife. Somaliweyn haa noolaato
