Massive saudi money and wahabi ideology flows into somalia in late 80s and it becomes a wahabi haven but stay togather as a unified nation
 
An Ethiopia's that more successful in the Ogaden War acquires an approval from her new patron(s) to launch an invasion into Somalia where Siad Barre rallies all elements of his country to (barely) repulse the Ethiopian invasion and manages to centralize even more power in hands, keeping the country under his tight leash. The Somali Civil War is avoided as Siad maintains his position of power through exploiting fears of another Ethiopian invasion - in much the same vein that Isaias Afwerki did in Eritrea - and becomes increasingly radical, forging closer ties with the Middle East whose more powerful countries wish to counteract Ethiopian influence in the Horn of Africa by backing Somalia.
