The Vote for the Union

[Jacaylbaro]

Hargeisa, June 27, 1960 (Reuters): The Somaliland Legislative Assembly today unanimously approved a Bill endorsing plans to unite the country with Somalia. The Assembly met a day earlier than originally arranged, because Ministers are anxious to go to Somalia to settle a number of details in connection with the union.

That was not a mistake yaa Xaaji. The biggest mistake was the arrogance, recklessness and stup!dity of invading Ethiopia, when the ruling Ethiopian regime (and the USSR) would have crumbled in '91 anyway - yaa salaam the biggest mistake indeed.

It wasn't a mistake, the way the war was handled was a mistake.

^ The war was a mistake, if you have even the slightest clue about international law and diplomacy. WSLF, TPLF, EPLF etc. should have been armed and bolstered and when Eritrea got their independence the Somali region could also have fought for their independence. However, hastily made and uninformed decisions denied us that opportunity... that's arrogant but incompetent and bad leadership for you. The DERG would/could have fallen and the USSR most certainly would have. In fact, had The Somali Republic not invaded Ethiopia, the USSR would not have armed the DERG to the teeth, supply 600 tanks & $4bn in military hardware, 1,500 USSR advisors, 15,000 Cuban troops and trained & armed the 250,000 troops that they did. The USSR would not have abandoned Berbera & stopped supplying The Somali Republic. But Somalia's government, in its arrogance, completely miscalculated & misunderstook the real political and diplomatic situation; did they really think that they could get away with invading another sovereign nation, whether justly so or not, and annex a 1/3 of its landmass without repercussions. There are ways to do things and they went about it completely the wrong way. They made The Somali Republic look like the agressor and invader, rather than the liberator & saviour of the oppressed that she was.

the war was greatest misadventure, the begining of the end for somalis.Infact Eriteria almost controlled ova 90% of their territory and was about to declare unilateral independence in a year or so but cos of somali invasion the tables were turned againest thm by the massive armament the soviets supplied to ethiopia.

The Derge was about to collapse & ethnic groups like oromo & somali had better chance had it not been the reckless somali fiasco.

 

*WSLF pressure of the somali gov't sown it's own demise.

No body 'invaded' Itoobiya. If you, on the other hand, implied Soomaali Galbeed is "Itoobiya," then jawaab uma baahnid markaas.

 

 

 

There is a reason why this so-called xad beenaad is in doted line and not uninterrupted line.
