Claim: Growing disillusionment with Ethiopia's federal arrangement, political exclusion, and government repression led the ONLF to launch an armed insurgency in 1994, shifting from its initial autonomy-within-Ethiopia approach toward seeking self-determination, in some characterizations amounting to independence, for the Ogaden region's roughly eight million predominantly ethnic-Somali residents. This bundle does not narrate the insurgency's military course in detail.
