🇸🇴Down the Money Lane🇸🇴 In the 19th and early 20th centuries (as recently as the 1950s), Ethiopia, with the help of European colonizers, took control of a vast somali land known as Western #Somalia, or #Ogaden, now referred to as the Somali Region of #Ethiopia. In 1977-78, #Somalis from that region rose in revolt, and the government of Somalia came to their aid. Together, they liberated their land. At that time, Ethiopia was led by a Marxist-Leninist military regime. Somalis captured nearly all of their territory, and as the map shows, they were close to reaching Addis Ababa. The Warsaw Pact, led by the Soviet Union, then entered the war to support their client state and ally in the Horn of Africa. Against the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact forces, which included troops from Cuba and South Yemen, Somalia could not hold its ground and ultimately had to retreat. Yet, Somalis everywhere, including those who lived and still live under leaders like Abiy and other colonial figures, have never forgotten how their land was taken through treachery, and how, in reality, they remain colonized. Today, when Somalis hear external powers pushing Ethiopia’s agendas or offering “whataboutism” in response to Ethiopia’s annexation and dismemberment schemes, they are reminded of past treachery and injustices. And when Abiy now speaks of seizing Somalia’s sea, Somalis conclude that conceding Western Somalia only whetted the colonial appetite. The song “Galbeed waa la xoreeyey” (The West is Liberated) stands as one of the most powerful informal Somali anthems, declaring that the land is Somali land, and the struggle continues. It is sung by the revered band Waberi, led by the legendary Somali singer Hassan Adan Samatar. Lyrics: West, we have liberated, West, we have liberated, West, we have liberated. Warsaw has interfered, But the occupier will not sleep easy. The struggle continues, This is Somali land. The land! This is Somali land. We have won victory, We have won victory, We have won victory. Warsaw has interfered, But the occupier will not sleep easy. The struggle continues, This is Somali land. The land! This is Somali land. 1/2 (See below — next post — as event occur then in real time!)
