ONLF and Ethiopia agree to do a referendum for the future of Somali Galbeed

[garad gacmadheere]

Ethiopia would never agree to this unless they already know the outcome will be in their favor.

The only question is how will they rig it?

Move in more oromo to take part in the voting process?

changing the voting outcome to favor them?

ONLF should have inserted a condition in there, the shouldn't disarm themselves until the election results are out.

Even if we vote to secede, it has to be approved by the federal parliament with 60% of the votes. No chance of that happening

Terrible Idea. Oromo are smart and only going to win. They are not fearful of a smaller ogadeniya state next to it and it also helps cut off somali support for traditional tigray alliance. We need Somalis in Ethiopia to influence it's politics from the inside. By having Dire Dawa plus the Oil and Gas of Ethiopia we should be using that to leverage more power over Ethiopians similar to how Somalis now own kenya's economy.

I use to brag how Somalis eat in Ethiopia and Kenya yet have Somalia to itself. No-one has this priveledge among east african tribes as they scramble over one state like amhara, tigray, kikuyus, and all those tribes. We don't want a separate ogaden, look at jabuti if it wasn't for those american bases there and american support, it would fall tommorow. You simply can't be powerful with 1 million population.

The population of Ogadenia is almost 8 Million strong not 1 Million.

One can argue if Ogadeniya rejoins Somalia, Somalia itself would become an ogaden conglomerate just like the dds

 

[Lordilord]

Prepare for the balkanization of all Somali regions with Somaliland at the forefront

If not more than 8 millions, saaxib he is confused don't mind him til we figure out what he means

I Really hope this doesnt happen, I want them to be there own seperate country like Djibouti, this would allow us to get an nice agreement with somaliland as most somalis would be happy then with a EU style - somali agreement !

Could you imagine Somali union - Djibouti- Somali-land, Somali- Galbeed - (Punt-land -)( southern Somalia/ Jubba land )

That would solve a lot of our issue as increase and foster brotherhood

I know UAE I an enemy, but why would they care about this issue? What do they have to gain from keeping us separate?

Do you have any links or proofs that backs your saying?

That people who has nothing to do with the region has to vote wether to let the region go or not, it's not logical .

The vote is going to be taken by the people of the somali region, the somali parliament of the region not the federal one.

I believe I have been misinformed by an Oromo wecel and I also misspoke, I meant a vote of approval before the referendum takes place but this doesn't mention it. You're right what I said wouldn't make sense.
