ARCONADA-LEDESMA, Pablo. From Internal Conflict to Total War. Evolution and International Intervention in the Ogadén War (1976-1980). Anu.hist.reg.front. [online]. 2022, vol.27, n.2, pp.315-338.  Epub 01-Dez-2022. ISSN 0122-2066.  https://doi.org/10.18273/revanu.v27n2-2022012.

This research focuses on the Ogadén War, which has traditionally been seen as a war between two states. However, it is necessary to broaden the view of this border conflict as the role of non state actors such as the Western Somali Liberation Front, which became a key factor during the first months of the war, has been underestimated. This study therefore seeks to deepen the analysis of a regional war, embedded in the Cold War, with two novel aspects. The first aims to refute the mainstream position on the time frame in which the war took place, which has traditionally been set at July 1977 to March 1978. The second aspect focuses on examining the role played by foreign powers during the war. Regional and international newspaper sources, audio-visual media and official documentation have been used for this purpose.
