    Gents, This is hardly surprising, if one has visited these parts in recent years. This is truly tragic. I did observe rather odd dealings at Jigjiga (Ethiopian federalis), Wajeer (Kenyan police), and even in Xamar (heavily armed African soldiers), and almost got into a war of words with those at Wajeer, and Xamar. a) On my first trip to Xamar for 40 years, at the airport, an African soldier slightly pushed a Somali elderly lady, speaking to her in English, mouthing off orders to move away; as I was standing in a queue, in disbelieve, seeing what was unfolding in front of my eyes, and with many Somalis around, I was hoping one of the many people in front of me, incl. airport staff, would say something, but no one batted an eye, or even thought of it as an issue. When I spoke with the soldier in the most stern, possibly way one could muster in that situation, with a 300lb inflated African soldier in combat gear with a riffle in half mast, other Somalis were literally telling me to stay out of it, and leave him alone. As one of us here said, the general attitude there too was: it is a "minor and isolated incident". I hate what has become of Xamar, as that once beautiful city is no longer a Somali city. b) At Wajeer, Africans are policing, and inspecting Somalis; when I enquired where the Somali were, they laughed, in that annoyingly naive African laugh, saying "it is OK sir. welcome to Kenya". To cut a long story short, I asked one of them to bring his superior, who invited me to a tea, where I told him, he had no business in searching me on Somali soil; in the end, and I will not recount our conversation, the situation was sorted with his letting people through, and one of the officers serving us all tea. Again, other Somali were telling me to mind my own business. Still enraged, from afar, I spotted a Somali lady cleaning, I called her, fuming at the sight, in my most angry Somali shout "Naa yaa hee kaalay, duf ku baxe" asking her why are they not manning the airport; she said for fear of Al Shabaab, Somali staff are no longer stationed at the airport with Kenyans policing instead. The humility and subservience is beyond belief. c) In Jigjiga, according to some sources, there is a two-tier system where Ethiopians civilians can come in, and go as they please into the airport whereas Somalis are not permitted. This was compounded by a breakdown of communication where the average Somali speaks Somali, and Ethiopia federalis speak Amhari. I will not bore you with details of what I have observed at Jigjiga university, which is wholly taken over by Amharas. Our people are under occupation, and are being treated as second class citizens on their own soil. This can not go on. This must not be seen as a minor incident. One is not free, if one is not in control of his affairs.
