Why did they change the capital from Godey to Jigjiga

[Boobale]

Anybody who knows tell me

Because in 1977, Ethiopia lost Godey in a matter of days. They changed the capital to Jigjiga to move the centre of gravity of the region away from Somalia and towards Addis Ababa.

Godey was only briefly between 1991 and 1994 when ONLF was the ruling party of ddsi. It was a crime to make it the capital but as it should have been the under threat Dir dhaba but onlf made a deal with xabashis. In 1994 it was moved by abdul majid to jigjiga as a middle ground between Dir and Darood. Before that there was no capital as there was no federalism.

It was collusion with xabashis to steal Dir dhaba. They made it a federal city then populated it.

The HA president of K5 changed it to Jigjiga.It was a good decision to make as the city is beautiful and strategically located near many clan borders (Absame,Dir, & Isaaq)

Habashis changed it to be closer to them. Isaaqs will tell you it was a HA but he was a literal puppet at times incapable of even holding meetings in Jigjiga due to safety. It can’t be reversed either as its now in Jidwaqs hands taking it out would be catastrophic.

Why on gods earth would an Isaaq care if it was Godey or Jigjiga they have no trace in either, its because they are coping from their own irrelevance so they make up stories about how they own half of it and how Abdulmajid(not the president btw) gave it to them.

Your conspiracy theories are as off as always you must be from Xarshin.

Lies and more lies.

so the tigray general in harar can directly control our region

Because godey is too far from the powers that be and it was the right call from them from their perspective. I don’t think they would have arrested abdi iley without bloodshed if he was in godey instead of jigjiga.
