Ethiopia's possession of Ogaden is illegal

Post by Dama » 02 Sep 2024, 10:15

A colonizer cannot transfer away its colony to another by international law. If it does, it has to seek the consent of the colonized people to determine their political future to be free or join another state.
Ogadenians were not given the refrendum in which to vote to join Ethiopia or not.
The British, upon leavong, just transfered Ogaden to Ethiopia, by violating the right of the subject people of Ogaden to self-determination in 1948.
A democratoc Ethiopiopia will restore the Ogadenians right to self-determination.

Vote for me for the President of Democratic Ethiopia!!
Long live freedom!!
Long live democratic and just Ethiopia!!

Dama,


Cudo to you for speaking the truth. That has always crossed my mind. The Somalis are their own worst enemies. No country should be united more than the Somalis. Ethnic wise, they are all Somalis. Syad was the only one who had what it takes to unite Somalia. His weakness was that he was not democratic enough. Unless, a greater Somalia is given a chance to exist, the horn will never be peaceful. In the long run. I don’t believe Ethiopia will survive as one entity.

Somalis, may have clans here and there, they are a perfectly [deleted] civilization, speaking one language, one religion, contiguous territory, same traditional governance coupled with Sharia law, and history.
Separately colonized by the French, British and Italians. The UN Charter on decolonization states that the subject people have the right to determine their political future in a referendum. They can vote to opt to be an independent nation, form s free association with another sovereign nation. The colonizing power cannot transfer the colony or the protectorate to another sovereign nation without the consent of the colonized subjects of the territory.

The British inn1948, upon relinquishing their hold of the Ogaden Protectorate, without the consent of the Ogaden Somalis, were transferred to Ethiopia. This illegal under international law.

The same applies to the northwest Kenyan Somalis. They were a British Protectorate but transferred to the possession of Kenya without the consent of the subject people of Somalis of northwest Kenya. Kenya, under Kibaki, enacted a law to make cessation illegal but this law itself illegal for the northwest Somalians.

Both Ogaden and Northwest Somalis have full rights to pursue cessation from Ethiopia and Kenya under tge UN Charter of Decolonization.
