The Afars are done. They are spent force. It is worth noting the three districts that are under their control were given to them by TPLF when the Somali region was under Abdi Iley. Many Somali districts were given away in the same manner. So, the Afars never had the means to confront Somalis. They are a warrior nation, but they simply don't have the numbers and the means. They were well armed by Abiy during the Tigray war and they did defeat the TPLF but with the assistance of the Ethiopian army and their Turkish drones. The road that connects Ethiopia to Jabuuti passes thru Cundhufo, Garabociise and Cadayto. It is unlikely the Ethiopian federal government and army would allow Somalis to control that road. If that happens, it simply means the Ethiopian army is no longer as strong as it used to be given the Officer Corp who are mostly Amhara and Tigray defected and experienced soldiers have perished in Tigray conflict, and the ongoing Amhara war, It is very curious the head of Somali Liyu Police to openly defy the Ethiopian army. He and President Cagjar are aware of something we are not or they took a calculated risk hoping the blowback won't be too harsh.

Muse Biixi never learns

A Aamiin!

Somalis have shown extraordinary resolve and strength General Gafeydhe #DDS https://x.com/OgadenSoldier/status/1807196368382943480

The Federal Government made their move. Check below. https://x.com/BrotherGouled/status/1805206666201174093?t=PRfGF7JDxSE0seC5sx0fQw&s=19

Somalis are within reach of their objectives. They have captured Candhuufo, are three KM from Garbo-Ciise, and cut off Adaytu. Kudos to the Ciise clan, their militia, and Somali Liyu Police. Let's what Abiy admin does.

They are toying with Somalis. There is no indication they are moving forward with this.

Arafaat, Let Xaaji be it. He first would have to settle his internal and often contradictory feelings before he can embark on any meaningful discussion on Ethiopia's intentions.

Xoori is back in Somali hands. Tragically, hundreds on both sides have perished. The below video is from Xoori. https://x.com/Sitti_Salal_Dji/status/1800544884010738163

And Biixi wants to give land and coast to Abiy.

LOL

It would be even better if Fawzia wins AU commissioner office.

It's reported Somalis were pushed back today. Reinforcements from ENDF joined the Afar militia and Liyu Police. The Ethiopian Defense minister is Afar woman. Somalis are sending more reinforcements.

Meanwhile,

Amb. Abukar Osman deserves a lot of the credit

Denmark, Greece, Pakistan, Panama and Somalia are set to get seats on the UN Security Council UNITED NATIONS -- Denmark, Greece, Pakistan, Panama and Somalia were set to get seats on the U.N. Security Council in a secret ballot Thursday in the General Assembly. The 193-member world body is scheduled to vote to elect five countries to serve two-year terms on the council. The 10 non-permanent seats on the 15-member council are allotted to regional groups who usually select their candidates but sometimes can’t agree on one. There are no such surprises this year. Last year, Slovenia soundly defeated Russia’s close ally Belarus for the seat representing the East European regional group, a vote that reflected strong global opposition to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. This time, the regional groups put forward Somalia for an African seat, Pakistan for an Asia-Pacific seat, Panama for a Latin America and Caribbean seat, and Denmark and Greece for two mainly Western seats. The five council members elected Thursday will start their terms on Jan. 1, replacing those whose two-year terms end on Dec. 31 — Mozambique, Japan, Ecuador, Malta and Switzerland. They will join the five veto-wielding permanent members — the United States, Russia, China, United Kingdom and France — and the five countries elected last year — Algeria, Guyana, South Korea, Sierra Leone and Slovenia. The Security Council is charged with maintaining international peace and security. But because of Russia’s veto power it has been unable to take action on Ukraine — and because of close U.S. ties to Israel it has not called for a cessation of hostilities in Gaza. All five countries expected to win seats on Thursday have served previously on the Security Council – Pakistan seven times, Panama five times, Denmark four times, Greece twice and Somalia once.

It would if Afars want it to be. They were way deep inside Somali territory. They cleansed entire border towns and districts since 2018. After occupying those towns and districts for years, they decide let's move on and conquer the entire Sitti region. In any case, Somalis are only less 15 KM away from the actual Afar-Somali border. Once they reach the border, they have no reason to go into Afar region. You are either the prey or the predator in today's Ethiopia.
