Christian Ethiopians celebrating 'Timket' in front of the Sayiids statue in Jigjiga

[Abba Sadacha]

What I don't get is how Eritrea with a population of 2 million in the 90s was able to defeat the Ethiopians, Ogaden(clan) alone have a larger population.

keep in mind that,

1. eritrea fought for 30+ years.
2. eritrea trained and worked with various rebel groups within ethiopia too, particularly the tplf in neighboring tigray.
3. the eplf of eritrea united a diverse society and had support from all over, for the most part, and wasn't divided along clan lines (if ONLF turned into SNLF, it may have fared better).
4. Ethiopia was also fighting many other rebels at the same time, all varying in strength of course, but it still required the govt to use up manpower, resources, etc, throughout the country while fighting in eritrea at the same time, etc.

Statues are haram and I'm sure if the Ina Abdullahi Hasan came back he will topple that thing and cut off the head of the person who authorized that structure to be put there

Sayyid Mohamed Abdulle Hasan was a Sufi who danced religiously and supported music. He was against Tawassul to dead Sheikhs but if you think he had anything to do with Wahhabis you're dead wrong. Tell me Shrines he destroyed? They were all over Somali lands. Sheikh Daroods shrine was right there and he obviously knew about it and could have levelled it but he didnt give af ab that
