We would have won if we had peace with them sponsored by USSR, meaning Somali galbeed either giving to Somali or stayed under ethiopian and Somali control, rebels would not have being funded by Ethiopia, economically kinda stable with the USSR support which would have the effect of containing the public anger. Bare would boosted his reputation if Somalia took Ogadeen back with dire dabe and harar.I was just wondering what we would be like if we won that war considering it was the start of our demise and why Somalia is still struggling from a civil war that stemmed from our failure in galbeed. Was anarchy and destruction our destiny even if we had won?
IMO going to war in 1977 just might be the biggest blunder, one way or another Ethiopia is going to diverge into different states. Oromos and amaharas have a bigger say than ethnic Somalis. They’re expanding and building churches in Ogaden. The best strategy would’ve been to fund insurgents like the oromos and Ogadens and Tiffany’s to wane the Ethiopian state to the breaking point. Eritrea got independence it wouldn’t have impossible to get Ogaden.I was just wondering what we would be like if we won that war considering it was the start of our demise and why Somalia is still struggling from a civil war that stemmed from our failure in galbeed.
