Change the result of the conflict to better reflect the situation on the ground as the current one is misleading and implies an Ethiopian occupation of Somali territory prior to the conflict. Add "Stalemate" to the result. ZemenfesKidus (talk) 11:38, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 11:42, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
