After Italy's defeat in World War 2, Harargay which encompassed the Harari and Somali Ogaden regions, fell under British authority. The Italians made a strong case at the United Nations that Ethiopia should not have dominion over this region. The British feeling embarrassed at the international arena conceded to this fact.
SYL opened an office in Harar to persuade Harargay province, to join soon to be independent Somalia. The Hararis set up the Kulub movement and sent in their request to join Somalia via U.N. When the British were about to back this initiative, the committee leaders withdrew this due to a hefty bribe offered by Haile Selassie. After the Ethiopian government successfully eliminated this threat, the Amhara regime thus began systematic genocide against the Harari people. The Amharas attempted to wipe out any historical links Hararis had to the city of Harar.
Members and relatives of the Kulub Movement were targeted by Amharas therefore many left to Somalia and their descendants would join Somalia's national army in the 60's. During the Ogaden war, it was some of these ex kulub affiliates that pressured the barre regime to fulfill greater somalia.
