I wouldn't say Gabiley, Jigjiga is around the same level as Borama.

DiriDhaba was supposed to be the capital but in early 1990s ONLF picked Godey in the middle of OG country while Oromo tried to take advantage and tool DiriDhaba so Jigjiga became compromise

Iley had poor business policies and little understanding of economics. The difficulty of doing anything in Jigjiga without being a Liyu or a Liyu waterboy makes it not worth it. Even now the hangover of that culture is present in Cagjars admin which is why everybody hates this guy too.Jigjiga growth rate is slow considering it is the capital of the entire Somali region of Ethiopia 5+ million it should have been competing with Hargeisa.

You realize the Jabhad was started after announcing a referendum to free Somalis and also that Somali region had no real admin.
- It wasn’t a compromise the president of Somali state abdul Majid moved it by force and Ogaden then started a jabhad.
Nonsense why didn’t they declare independence in 1991? When they lost the regional election they said waan ka gonay itobiya.You realize the Jabhad was started after announcing a referendum to free Somalis and also that Somali region had no real admin.
there was only one of the Ethiopian Divisions in Somali region and it was stationed around JigJiga zone and sometimes Qabri Dehre. There was people like Al Ittihad moving between luuq & Dhagaxbur with little resistance.
its goal since inception was secession. Hence the name “Liberation Front” or the fact that its the successor of WSLF.Nonsense why didn’t they declare independence in 1991? When they lost the regional election they said waan ka gonay itobiya.
On a tribal level Jigjiga works the demographics in the neighboring districts are changing it benefits Ogadens that thousands of Ogaden Liyu are able to obtain wealth and land in the city and maintain complete Absame dominance in the city even after urbanization. The ONLF have there best days ahead of them with a loyal army of 15-50k and a state budget there leverage has just 100xDDSI is at an earlier stage of development, urbanization has not yet taken off yet. In my opinion it was a very bad idea to have Jigjiga be the capital of DDSI because it is very far from most people in DDSI. The capital should have been somewhere central and far away from the highlands, somewhere like Godey or Qabri Dahare.
@Awbarkhadle moving the capital from Godey made DDSI much weaker vis a vis the Oromo and Addis Ababa. It is barely 15 miles from the border with Oromia. If a civil war ever breaks out in Ethiopia, Jigjiga will be very hard to defend. ONLF made Godey the capital out of reasons other than clan affiliation, they did not want their capital so close to the Ethiopian highlands.
Faafan is the most populated gobol it directly borders sitti and jarar the second and third most populated gobols. These three gobols make more than 2/3 of the Somali State population and is were 80% of the tax is levied. We lost Dir dhaba because of the greed of Ogaden who wanted to rule the Somali kilil exclusively, when they were defeated in elections they started a jabhad. From 91 on 94 ONLF was a xisbi like it is now.DDSI is at an earlier stage of development, urbanization has not yet taken off yet.

No demographics have changed nor can ogaden even make a demographic difference in a gobol with more people than all Ogaden put together. Jigjiga is militarily dominated by Ethiopia liyu police get karbashed by Amhara civilians. The most wealth in jigjiga Is owned by sacad muse. I bring the milk to the city I bring everything that comes from abroad through berbera. I own the gas station and I have a xafaad there. Ogaden don’t have any of that.On a tribal level Jigjiga works the demographics in the neighboring districts are changing it benefits Ogadens that thousands of Ogaden Liyu are able to obtain wealth and land in the city and maintain complete Absame dominance in the city even after urbanization.

Ciid Daahir and Abdulmajid Hussein didn’t think far ahead and thought they can secure the Jigjiga/Somali region using the Dir block and could overcome there minority status. What a failure.
This is pathological lies.No demographics have changed nor can ogaden even make a demographic difference in a gobol with more people than all Ogaden put together.
