Unfortunately in the eyes of modern geopolitics it doesn’t matter. Ogaden was a territory under Ethiopias jurisdiction by international law, and unless you were USA or Russia those laws are written in stone. The best we Somalis could have hoped for at the time was a proxy war where we aid the locals and push for a sovereign state. An invasion was not only unnecessary but it weaken Somalia’s military against dealing with internal strife.

Like the caste system in India and religious zealotry in the middle east, clans are an ancient idea. Clans were good in ancient times when you needed your family to have your back. Today, the concepts of property ownership and common laws trump clans. But people in power like power, and clan heads have power. Very few leaders in history have ever given up power willingly. Somalia will likely fight with itself until the neighboring countries get rich enough to set things straight. Either Somalia will be pacified and turned into a vassal, or it will be pacified and left independent simply so that business in the region can prosper. It is tough for a nation to industrialize if their neighbor still lives like Mongol Warlords.

I’m Somali and I want to say, much of this video is either outdated or simply misinformation. Somalia is not the lawless anarchy it was in the 90’s and 00’s anymore. All of the warlords have been defeated. All the clan fighting has stopped long ago. All the militias and fraction leaders are long gone. Somaliland is not 3x richer than the rest of Somalia. In fact the currency used there is almost worth nothing compared to the one used across the other states of Somalia. Somaliland only has one thing over the rest of Somalia and that is stability. There is more money being made in Mogadishu than almost all of Somaliland. Literally 3/4th of Somaliland does not even want to secede! All that is wrong with Somalia today is instability. And the main reason for that is Al-Shabaab who are being fought tooth to nail at the very moment. The days of anarchy are behind us.

[@sakarienuh6293]

There are multiple factors for the current state of Somalia 1. LACK OF A VISIONARY AND COMPETENT LEADER The country has been lacking a competent and visionary leader since it got independency in 1960, a leader who is free from tribalistic mindset. Every leader who has ever came to power always has that tribalistic mindset and those previous so called leaders only came to power because of their tribe and not because they're competent for the role they're elected in. 2. LACK OF TRUST AMONG THE MAIN SOMALI CLANS There are 3 main clans in Somalia Darod, Hawiye, and Isaq and each one of these clans would rather destroy the country than see a leader from other 2 clans to be in power. Isaqs clan who mainly reside in the northern part of the country (former British Somaliland) actually want to be independent from the rest of Somalia mainly due to i) the give up of their independency in 1960 in return of nothing and ii) the Isaq genocide in 1988 committed by the former dictator Siyyad Barre. The other 2 clans (Darod and Hawiye) are more in number and also control larger part of land than the Isaqs, and these two gives you a competitive edge when it comes to the Somali politics. This is why every president since 1960 has been either from Darod or Hawiye clans and this made the Isaqs in the north feel betrayed, because remember the Somalia you know today is made up of two regions (the Northern regions or British Somaliland who was under the British rule and Italian Somaliland who was under Italian rule) and when British Somaliland got independency from Britain on 26 June 1960 they voluntarily joined the Italian Somaliland in the South to form what was known at that time the Somali Republic. The Isaqs, who are the majority in the British Somaliland, realized, soon after the union, that they made a mistake because they realized that all the important power positions were grabbed by the Hawiye and Darod clans in the South/Italian Somaliland and this is why a small number of military generals, from the north/british Somaliland, attempted a coup in 1961 (not sure the exact date). Another reason for the lack of trust between those 3 clans is what happened during and after the rule of the former Dictator Siyyad Barre, who is from the Darod clan, and his regime has committed a lot of serious crimes like the genocide in the North in 1988, also there was a major fight between the Darods and Hawiye in the southern part of the country after the collapse of the Siyyad Barre regime in 1991 and this is why there is no trust between the Somali clans and this is why each clan would rather destroy the country than see another clan to have that power that might be used against them.
