Ethiopia and Somalia

 

 

Map showing ****** region of Ethiopia in relation to Somalia

The Safari Club backed Somalia in the 1977–1978 Ethio-Somali War after Cuba and the USSR sided with Ethiopia. This conflict erupted when Somalia attempted to gain control over the (ethnically Somali) ****** region of Ethiopia. Prior to the war, the USSR had supported both states militarily.[29] After failing to negotiate a ceasefire, the USSR intervened to defend Ethiopia. The Soviet-backed Ethiopian forces—supported by more than ten thousand troops from Cuba, more than one thousand military advisors, and about $1 billion worth of Soviet armaments—defeated the Somali army and threatened a counter-attack.[30] The Safari Club approached Somalian leader Siad Barre and offered arms in exchange for repudiating the Soviet Union. Barre agreed, and Saudi Arabia paid Egypt $75 million for its older Soviet weapons.[31] Iran supplied old weapons (reportedly including M-48 tanks) from the U.S.[32][33]

 

 

Carter and the Shah of Iran in 1977

The events of Somalia brought unique divergence between the official policies of the U.S. and the Safari Club.[34] After the deal was made, Iran urged the U.S. to officially back Somalia. National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski agreed, and asked carter to deploy aircraft carriers with the goal of seriously combating the USSR; Cyrus Vance, of the Department of State, wavered on the question of US arms shipments.[35] Carter, perturbed by Somalia's unexpected aggressiveness,[36] decided against publicly backing Somalia, and the shah of Iran was forced to deliver the message from Carter that "You Somalis are threatening to upset the balance of world power."[37][38] But On 22 August 1980, Carter's Department of State announced a broad plan for military development in Somalia, including construction of a base as well as economic and military aid to the Somalian army.[35] This policy that would continue into the Reagan administration.[39]
