  1. Mate, You are asking rational, hard questions demanding rumination, but XX is not the type capable of absorbing them, let alone offer answers, and you may have to wait till a worthy secessionist have risen to the stage.
  2. I realise comprehension is a challenge for many, and English is not your 1st or 2nd tongue, but were you able to grasp the nub of his question?
  3. Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed is at war with the Amhara and Oromo and he is beating the drums for a new war with Eritrea. He is talking publicly about Ethiopia’s greatness by taking a seaport by force of arms. Tigray in the Eye of the Storm - Reinventing PeaceReinventing Peace SITES.TUFTS.EDU Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed is at war with the Amhara and Oromo and he is beating the drums for a new war with Eritrea. He is... The ongoing military engagement of the ENDF against the Amhara Fano militia and the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA) in Oromia, and the failures of its attempts to achieve battlefield victory, indicate that the ENDF today is less of an army and more of a gathering of conscripts in uniform. According to sources of the Ethiopian government, Isaias has intensified that support. Now that his anti-Tigrayan alliance with Abiy is officially broken, he is also engaged in political rhetoric that emphasizes the incapability of Abiy’s regime to govern Ethiopia. As well as responding defensively to whatever might come from Ethiopia, it is also possible that Isaias may opt for a pre-emptive attack, anticipating a war that he sees as inevitable, or escalate the conflict in Amhara region.
  4. A point of correction: SSC-Khatumo & Makhir territories are not disputed.
  5. The role of the Somali government, and military in Jibouti's independence, an account of a Sr military officers stationed in Lughaya in 1974 during the independence uprising.
  6. Instead of these kids, who look like they are on a day trip for their first trip abroad, where are the seasoned Somali diplomats? This old man and his kids are ruining what is left of the nation's image.
  7. Not only that, but M Xarbi was imprisoned, exiled, and eventually died whilst still fighting for Jibouti's independence, and its eventual union of Somalia. It was claimed he was assassinated. Not only Jibouti, but Somalia too. I now have greater respect for you knowing that you actually knew about Xarbi's role. Well done, mate!
  8. Like many politicians, Guled likes to talk the good talk out in the open, but deep down he is a stooge. He revealed his true face during the SSC conflict. In these speeches, he is only trying to resuscitate SL's image.
  9. She has been exploiting it, and raking in donations from the globe building her war chest for the next election.
  10. You have no idea how much Somalia sacrificed for Jibouti's independence, perhaps one of these days I shall educate you as to the back story. In the interim, you should read C/Rizaq X Xuseen's, and Qaybe's memoirs.
  11. HSM to African leaders in Rome: To Somalia, the infamous MoU is similar to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
  12. This had the reverse effect in that she is gaining popularity with the right people incl. people in the wider Muslim world, Africa, Asia etc, whilst enraging neo-Nazis and white supremacists along with their shills, the secessionists.
  13. Again, 101 in irredentism strategy, case in point: Jibouti 1977. If we can not liberate an occupied Somali territory, we root for its independence, which buttresses said strategy. And where Somali territories exist to form a nation, so they shall remain, to further advance said strategy. Did dear father not teach you that at home? O' darn it, your are one of those single-mother kids.
  14. What a twat. S Galbeed is under occupation.
  15. This deserves a thread of its own, with the following highlighted, lest secessionists fail to grasp for whom they wish to bare their derriere on the salsa rotunda (Not that they'll be able to relish its fillings, or appreciate its historical context). ----------------------------------------- Status quo Since Abiy came to power in 2018, multipronged wars have once again erupted between the Ethiopian state and its constituent nations, namely Tigray, Oromia, and Amhara, even with the help of a foreign, bloodthirsty antagonist, Eritrea, in Tigray. The ongoing hidden war in Oromia was reenergized in 2018 within months of Abiy being named prime minister by the then-ruling party, the Ethiopian Peoples’ Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF). The Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), as the senior party in the EPRDF coalition, was forced to accept a new prime minister from a junior member, the Oromo People’s Democratic Organization (OPDO), due to the unrelenting struggle of the Oromo youth—known as Qeerroo/Qarree. The new government quickly turned against the Oromo popular movement and denied the protesters’ demands. It adopted mass killing and imprisonment while systematically dismantling their peaceful struggle, effectively forcing many of them to join the armed resistance led by the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA). When its attempts to obliterate the OLA failed, the Abiy regime turned to a state-sanctioned policy of “drying the pond to kill the fish.” It deployed the federal and regional security forces, Amhara and Oromo militias, and local settler Amhara groups in Oromia to loot, rape, and kill at will. In the meantime, Abiy demolished the ruling party and formed a new party in 2019, the Prosperity Party, to promote his imperial ambition in the mold of emperors Menelik II and Haile Selassie I. Ethiopia was created as a dependent colonial empire with the assistance of European imperial powers in multipronged wars of conquest waged by Emperor Menelik II in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

  16. This is according to Britannica: Casualties of World War II World War II, the deadliest and most destructive war in human history, claimed between 40 and 50 million lives, displaced tens of millions of people, and cost more than $1 trillion to prosecute. The financial cost to the United States alone was approximately $5.8 trillion in 2023 dollars when adjusted for inflation. In Germany’s 49 largest cities, nearly 40 percent of homes were seriously damaged or destroyed. In the western Soviet Union, the destruction was even greater. U.S. Army Air Forces burned scores of Japanese cities to the ground with incendiary bombs before Hiroshima and Nagasaki were largely destroyed with atomic weapons.
  17. Do you know how many people perished (excl. injured, or displaced) as a result of the 2nd war alone?
  18. So says the son of a father from Nazi Germany, who ran a brothel, to make money. Why do I get the sense you would be polishing his boots if you could.
  19. Did you just say Ethiopia or Kenya territorial integrity? Have you fallen on your forehead at birth? I give up. By the way, here in the US, we are free, and do things differently. We can support our native countries whilst still being Americans.
  20. I know it is difficult, but for once in your sodding sorry existence, speak as if a regular Somali person. Is it not true there are occupied Somali lands / territories? If so, it is a statement of fact, is it not? Then, how is that an attack?
  21. With whom is she in trouble? The majority of those on her case now are neo-Nazis and white supremacists. Well done for unwittingly joining the bandwagon. Whom did she threaten, and what did she say in her threatening tone?
