The issue with Article 39 is that it was included for the sole purpose of allowing the Tigrayans to secede (since they had political hegemony at both the federal and regional level). Now that’s not the case. Technically the Oromos could do the same but like all ethnic groups, no one wants to secede when they’re in power (with the exception of the Somalis).I think the difference between Ethiopia and Somalia is that their constitution has an article allowing for secession. In the event that they actually fight a civil war, I can see the Somali region using that article to get its independence. Especially if it manages to stay out of the war like it has been doing the last few years
If the Somali constitution had a similar article, Somaliland would’ve probably gotten it’s independence once the central government fell
