The Insurgency in Ogaden was an armed conflict that took place from 1992 to 2018. It was waged by nationalist and islamist Somali insurgent groups seeking self determination for the region, primarily the Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF) and Al-Itihaad Al-Islamiya (AIAI). The war in the region began in 1992, when the Ethiopian government attacked AIAI in an attempt to suppress the growth of the organization.[3] In 1994, the ONLF commenced its armed struggle and began publicly calling for an independent 'Ogadenia' state.[10]
Following the Ethiopian invasion of Somalia in late 2006, the insurgency in the Ogaden significantly escalated after a decade of low-intensity conflict. The military occupation in Somalia coincided with the large scale 2007–08 Ethiopian crackdown in Ogaden.[11][12]
After raging for over 25 years, the conflict ended in a peace agreement during 2018 as part of Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's reforms.
