ONLF had something to do with nomination. ONLF is Reer Isaaq dominated organization.
yuo seem to think ONLF is this sub clan or that sub clan,
no cousin, you miss udnertand and miss informed,
ONLF waa all Ogadens, it doesnt matetr who is who as long as he is Ogaden,
first leader for example when founded he is reer amadin/moahmed zubeer,
then makahil, then reer isaaq, then cabdalla Tolomoge na dnow reer isaaq,
besides, of the top 6 guys in charage, 5 waa reer cabdulle even thoguh the chairman is rewer isaaq, which just shows you brother karim,
the geenral in charge of jubabalnd army was higis reer cabdulle, now its reer isaaq,
iley used to have a reer amadin, cali yusuf, maaln guur dudes in charge of liyu, but last couple years it was reer isaaq and still is reer isaaq
Ogaen have a very unique relation, we are not like Mjs dominated by one sub clan, even though moahmed zubeer is actually younger than osman muxamuud in abtirsi level but more numerous
Ogaden sub clans do not dominate each other, because they are scared of each other,
the Admiral osman of ONLF has been serving since 1999 but has 5 reer cabdulle debuties,
DDSi has had bah gari president, waa very small in terms of numbers, makahil twice, reer cabdulle, cawlyahan and now its reer isaaqs time to eat and rule,
this is a very uniqie situation, in puntland a cali salebaan is not allowed to become president yet Ogaden sub clans small and large have rotated
can you imagine a bicidyaan or reer abdirahamn become president of puntland,
my aunties husnad is ciise muxamuud and i asked him recently why morgan was refused federal senate seat and isnetad given to another osman muxamuud (farool?) who was already fomer presdeint,
he point blank said to me "waa langaab morgan"
i was shocked, if Mohamed zubeer said that to bah gari they would declare war
Ogadens have learned centuires ago to keep each other in check as we did what mjs or marehan does today centuries ago but we karbahsed each other good and today it doesnt matter who he is,
something no other tribe in somalia can say, sultan cabdi cali sonkor choose ina umar jees in the 90s because end of day we are large and we have to rotate presidency and so far we have done great
