索马里同埃塞俄比亚的领土争端由来已久。一九七七年,由于苏联从中挑拨,索、埃(塞)之间爆发了大规模的武装冲突,在争议的欧加登地区打起了一场“沙漠战争”。苏联打着“国际主义”旗号,派出高级军事指挥人员和古巴雇佣军“协同”埃塞俄比亚军队同索马里交战。一九七八年三月,索马里从欧加登撤军。但是,战争的硝烟并未熄灭,当地的西索马里阵线的游击队同埃塞俄比亚政府军之间的战斗仍在进行。下面摘要译载的是一篇现场报道,原载一九七九年十二月三日的美国《新闻周刊》。人们从中可以看出,非洲之角的局势不能稳定,一个重要的根源就是苏联在非洲推行军事扩张政策,就是苏、古在那里的军事“存在”。苏联的军事“顾问”、古巴的军队,决不是什么“国际主义战士”,而是一伙无恶不作的征服者。因此,他们受到欧加登人民的严惩是理所当然的了。
The territorial dispute between Somalia and Ethiopia has been protracted. In 1977, due to the Soviet Union’s sackings, large-scale armed clashes broke out between Somalia and Ethiopia and launched a “Desert War” in the disputed Ogaden region. Under the banner of “internationalism,” the Soviet Union sent high-ranking military commanders and Cuban mercenaries to “cooperate” with Ethiopian troops in fighting Somalia. In March 1978, Somalia withdrew from Ogaden. However, the smoke of the war did not go out and fighting between the local Somali fighters and the Ethiopian government forces was still going on. The following extract is an on-site report, originally published in the Newsweek on December 3, 1979. As one can see, the situation in the Horn of Africa can not be stabilized. An important root cause is that the Soviet Union’s military expansion policy in Africa is the military “existence” of the Soviet Union and Cuba. The military “consultant” of the Soviet Union and the Cuban army are by no means “internationalist fighters,” but a group of evil conquerors. Therefore, it is a matter of course that they are severely punished by the Ogaden people.
