Passage: Following the withdrawal of the SNA, the WSLF continued their insurgency. By May 1980, the rebels, with the assistance of a small number of SNA soldiers who continued to help the guerrilla war, controlled a substantial region of the Ogaden. However, by 1981 the insurgents were reduced to sporadic hit-and-run attacks and were finally defeated. In addition, the WSLF and SALF were significantly weakened after the Ogaden War. The former was practically defunct by the late 1980s, with its splinter group, the Ogaden National Liberation Front  operating from headquarters in Kuwait. Even though elements of the ONLF would later manage to slip back into the Ogaden, their actions had little impact. For the Barre regime, the invasion was perhaps the greatest strategic blunder since independence, and it weakened the military. Almost one-third of the regular SNA soldiers, three-eighths of the armored units and half of the Somali Air Force  were lost. The weakness of the Barre administration led it to effectively abandon the dream of a unified Greater Somalia. The failure of the war aggravated discontent with the Barre regime; the first organized opposition group, the Somali Salvation Democratic Front , was formed by army officers in 1979. The United States adopted Somalia as a Cold War ally from the late 1970s to 1988 in exchange for use of Somali bases, and a way to exert influence upon the region. A second armed clash in 1988 was resolved when the two countries agreed to withdraw their militaries from the border.
How many years after the formation of the Somali Salvation Democratic Front did the second armed clash occur? How many years did it take to defeat the WSLF insurgents? How many years did the US adopted Somalia as an ally? How many years passed between the withdrawal of the SNA and the insurgent reduction? How many years passed since the rebels helped the guerrilla and the agreement to withdraw militaries from the border? How many years sdid it take to defeat the rebels? What did the SNA lose more of, soldiers, or armored units? When did Somalia and the US stop being allies? When did the WSLF lose control over a substantial region of the Ogaden? Which area was defunct by the late 1980s? Which group did the ONLF come from? Which happened first, the Ogaden war or the second armed clash between Somalian and United States forces? Which happened first, the formation of the Somali Salvation Democratic Front, or the defeat of the rebels? Which lost more - the SNA soldiers, or the Comali Air Force?
