"The province thus entered a period of running skirmishes between the
Kenyan Army and Somali-backed
Northern Frontier District Liberation Movement (NFDLM) insurgents. One immediate consequence of the Shifta insurgency was the signing in 1964 of a Mutual Defense Treaty between
Jomo Kenyatta's administration and the government of Ethiopian Emperor
Haile Selassie.
Barre advocated the concept of a
Greater Somalia (
Soomaaliweyn), which refers to those regions in the
Horn of Africa in which ethnic Somalis reside and have historically represented the predominant population. Greater Somalia encompasses Somalia,
Djibouti, the Ogaden in
Ethiopia, and
Kenya's former
North Eastern Province, regions of the Horn of Africa where Somalis form the majority of the population to some proportion.In July 1977, the
Ogaden War broke out after the Barre's government sought to incorporate the various Somali-inhabited territories of the region into a Greater Somalia, beginning with the Ogaden. The Somali national army invaded Ethiopia, which was now under communist rule of the Soviet-backed

The Soviets halted their previous supplies to Barre's regime and increased the distribution of aid, weapons, and training to the Ethiopian government, and also brought in around 15,000
Cuban troops to assist the Ethiopian regime.The United States stepped in and until 1989, was a strong supporter of the Barre government for whom it provided approximately
US$100 million per year in economic and military aid.

A particularly violent incident referred to as the
Wagalla Massacre took place in 1984, when the Kenyan provincial commissioner ordered security forces to gather 5,000 men of the Somali
Degodia clan onto the airstrip at
Wagalla,
Wajir, open fire on them, and then attempt to hide their bodies. In the year 2000, the government admitted to having killed 380 people, though independent estimates put the toll at over 2,000
