When Somalis say they almost captured Addis Ababa in 1977, remind them that it was AY AUN who was leading those forces. Even Ethiopian generals were amazed at his tactical abilities. The sad thing is that MSB AUN made him, due to paranoia and politics, lead the front with the least equipment, the fancy equipments were given to other commanders that didn't progress into enemy territory. If AY was given the military hardware that was given to Gen. Muhammed Ali Samatar, he'd definitely have captured Addis.

Col. Amsalu, a former student of Gen. Demissie Bulto at the Harar Military Academy and who was imprisoned by Mengistu because of his support for the coup, talked about the tension between Gen. Demissie and the Mengistu regime and the Gen. Demissie’s effort to ameliorate the effects of some of the policies within the army. Gen. Wassihun described the strength of the Somalian army that invaded Southern Ethiopia through Bale and Sidamo and its hand picked leader Col. Abdulahi Yussef (who was president of the transitional government of Somalia until recently). When Gen. Demissie was appointed commander of the Southern Corps, the Somalian Army was only 60 KM from Awasa.

Col. Abdulahi’s army was marching to Addis Ababa emboldened by his success at controlling vast territories and dawning of Ethiopian fighter jets and capturing the famous Ethiopian fighter jet pilot, Col. Legesse Tefera. It took three days for the then Col. Demissie Bulto to reorganize the retreat ting Ethiopian army, turn it into a fighting force, and drive the Somlian army beyond the border. Gen. Wassihun concluded that what prevented the elite Somalian force and its prized leader was the strong leadership of Gen. Demissie and the heroic deeds of many under his command. The military operation in the South against the Somalian army is one of the marbles yet to be chronicled in the annals of war in Ethiopian history.

Siad Barre was an intelligent autocrat.Its obvious why he didnt send his best troops to attack ethiopia, i would argue he couldve even overrunn the whole of Ethiopia if he wanted to.He didnt do it precisely because he needed the best troops against the real enemy... somalis.He kept the most advanced weaponry , like an autocratic political genius would, and destroyed the coup which occurred in 1978.One must understand that and autocrat and all politicians alike want to survive and thus they dont need to win wars or help the people.Hence they think what will happen after the war and he deduced he would need to defend against a coup.

Very intersting point. @CangeeroBear i admire your analytical ability
 
I wish you all the best. But you do realise that the Military regime was a completly mess do you ?
Yes it was , I like analysis as it allows me to understand he past and it's effects on the present.All governments follow the same rule of survival.A democracy ties survival to public health hence causing massive growth and economy sufficient In said countries.Somalia is a challenge I will break.

Siyad Barre AUN was unparalleled by anyone let alone by that treacherous coup instigator dirty treasonist abdushaytan yusuf, if it wasn't for his action Somalia would have been stable and prosperous with an state funeral for Siyad Barre and his memory commemorated annually throughout Somalia.

May the curse be upon that ibnu shaitan and his fanboys minions, ameen.

He knew a coup was coming, that ‘77 war was the stupidest thing he ever did, it’s like saudi trying to invade Israel like USA and the Western world won’t intervene
 
Most of the decisive battles and towns won on ethiopian soil were won by Isaaq Generals not Abdullahi Yusuf. Abdullahi Yusuf rode into Mogadishu on the back of Ethiopian soldiers. They never feared Abdullahi Yusuf, they always saw him as someone they could control.

@XaajiXumbo you lack history lessons do you really think it was only Abdullahi Yusuf behind the coup ?
