The essay synthesizes two decades of research on the legal history of Somali territory transfer to Ethiopia, highlighting treaties and boundary definitions. It examines the Ogaden region's rich resources juxtaposed with the poverty of its inhabitants. Additionally, it discusses the recent political changes in Ethiopia under Dr. Abiy Ahmed, exploring their implications for the Ogaden Liberation Front and the future of Somali self-determination. The work raises critical questions about the ONLF's aspirations for secession versus the right of Somalis to shape their own destiny.
