The Founder of WSLF (Western Somali Liberation Front)

The WSLF was founded by a young captain called Yusuf Dheere Mohamed Sugaal (Yuusuf the tall man) who was educated and trained in Syria, after finishing high school in Hargeisa. Upon his return from Syria, Yusuf Dheere has created the Ururka Dhalinyara Soomaali Galbeed or the Western Somali Youth Organization. Yusuf Dheere, who was well connected and from a noble family, met the Somali president Siad Barre in 1973 after putting the Somali elders behind his plan, and convinced the Somali President to do something about the Ogaden region. So Siad Barre gave Yusuf Dheere 2 years to give diplomacy a chance and to prepare the Somali National Army, for it was still unproven. In the meanwhile, Yusuf Dheere was told to recruit about 1500 volunteers and was permitted rations for only 1500 people; in the space of a month, he recruited over 3000 soldiers, most of them were old fighters from all over the country.

just found out he was Ciidagale, Garxajis:salute:


His own tribe destroyed the WSLF too:ohhh:

the Ogadens took over the militia when Siyaad abondoned them

The SNM was based in Awaare at that time Btw^
 
The military wing of the SNM was inherited from the 4aad of the WSLF in geed balaad at the ethiopia SL border.

If you read the CIA declassified once we were defeated in the 77 war and ethiopia was heavily armed by the Soviet Union somalia could no longer defend itself from ethiopian invasion. The only reason they didn’t invade is because the Americans said we aren’t ganna arm somalia enough that it would pose a threat to neighbours however if you invade we will give them everything.

Once the WSLF was defeated Somalia couldn’t protect its borders from jabhads.

The precursor to WSLF was Nasrullah and its successors were the ONLF I wouldn’t expect Ictiraafites to understand that though.

ONLF is an Ethiopian political party. It turned into a militant group when a non Ogaden won the K5 election.
The ONLF is mostly just a continuation of the WSLF which was more or less a continuation of Nasrullah. They can choose when to engage in guerilla warfare and when to be diplomatic.

You want to gain relevance through ciid Daahir but according to your demographics his time in office would still make you underrepresented. That is if your demographics were true to begin with :icon lol:

How the hell would I know most Ogadens dont even know who the hell he was most of Somali Galbeed was just the wild west at that point with little governance. Al Ittihad was literally in Dhagaxbur and Luuq whilst ONLF was in Qarri Jiqood Fiiq/Nogob it was complete chaos.
