Here is some basic explanation of what is going on in the North.
The Somali Community has a major weakness, it is called Clannism. Though they speak one language, they viciously hate each other based on the Clan.
Now, look carefully at the Map, and get to understand what is going on.
Kenya is roughly divided into two major clans, the Darod and the Hawiye. Under Darod, you have sub clans like the Ogaden. Under the Hawiye, you have clans like the Degodia and Ajuran.
From the map, you can see that the Ogaden occupy the areas around Garissa and part of Wajir. The Hawiye comprising of Degodia and Ajuran occupy Mandera and part of Wajir.
Now move on to Somalia. You notice that the Ogaden related clans occupy mostly south Somalia and the areas around our borders... Now called Jubaland.
They also occupy a huge part of the South East Ethiopia. In Ethiopia, they formed a formidable military force called the Ogaden National Liberation Front ONLF, that has been fighting to secede from Ethiopia for 30 years
Now get to understand what is going on. Kenya has members of the Ogaden Clan in very senior positions. Yusuf Haji, Adan Duale, and the heroic General Mahmud Mohamed who saved Moi in 1982 are all from the Ogaden clan. They have control over Government policies in Somalia. In order to push for Peace, Kenya helped the Darod clans linked to the Ogaden in Kenya to form the Jubaland, a semi autonomous County.
The Mandera and Wajir MPs belong to the rival clans that occupy Mogadishu areas. They have been pushing for the dissolution of the Jubaland, so that the Ogaden are ruled by the Hawiye.
Ethiopia, on the other hand, does not want the Ogaden led Jubaland to be established. This would inspire the Ogaden National Liberation Front to fight more. So, Ethiopia and the current Somali Government want Jubaland to die. Kenya wants Jubaland to remain so that stability can be established.
So, just check out, right from Parliament, Facebook, Twitter and TV interviews.... The Somali Community is divided into two. Those like Duale and Entire Garissa supporting Jubaland and those like Ahmednassir Abdulahi and the entire Mandera supporting The Government in Mogadishu.
It is war that started 3,000 years ago and is not about to end soon.
