I think Ethiopia wanted an all out war that would facilitate the capture of Assab Port. The ego of two dictators didn't help the situation.

wrong thread

This can literally be out of some fadhi ku dirir session.

Yes, let's be caring citizens of our beloved Somalia and let's get rid off !diots from Zeylac, Ras Asir to Ras Kamboni

It's amazing we existed this long as a nation.

No, this is more than fair. Plus, this can be re-negotiated.

Seems balanced!

As far as Somalis are concerned, does it really matter who's in power?

No, not after Kalshaale. I wouldn't bet on Keyse.

So, they could switch anytime

Muuse, the menace is at it again.. War Suldaanka, This is ciidanka Qaranka? They look like your regular militia, slightly better fed.

Apparently, this is done with TPLF blessing despite reservation from their leadership. The dusty village will go to Eritrea.

Tallaabo, Ninyahow, get a Tigray. Apparently, that helps in easing the eventual coupling of brotherly nations

I am sorry but Ethiopian Nationalities Day are celebrated in Baydhabo, Garowe, Hargeysa and now Xamar. We insult each other who is closer to Ethiopia meaning doing Ethiopia's bidding yet authorities in the aforementioned cities gladly embrace Ethiopians while insulting each other and by extension people in each other's regions. A sane Somali will see the bigger picture.

The man mentions Kalshaale Is that a really good example?

A case of Aabow kan yer iga celi aan kan weyn iska celishee. Nagadaa Suldaanka. You assured us of impending occupation in Garowe. Don't retreat now.

Observer, The obstacle to Somalia's revival is Somalis. That doesn't mean Ethiopia doesn't do its best to keep Somalia in perpetual conflict.

Galbeedi, Invasion by sheer number is possible but we must understand Ethiopia has or is experiencing mass displacement. Amharas, Tigray, Somalis and others have or being cleansed from Oromia. Similar things have happened in other at a smaller scale. Interestingly enough, in Southern Somalia apart from some areas, locals enjoy control over their clan wise. Similar things might happen in the North. Tukaraq conflict could well be the trigger. Dynamics will change and there is no guarantee it will go Ethiopia's way.

Ethiopia is not powerful as people think. They just don't have any serious counterweight, a vacuum left behind by Somalia. Their economic growth is underwritten by huge Chinese loans. And despite calming of the waters, ethnic Federalism will continue to trouble Ethiopia and Oromo will continue demand more power, ownership over Addis, introduction of Aafan Oromo as a federal language, etc. Once test or you think test power, you tend to demand more Obviously, they are better connected to world powers and have a lot of influence over Somali regions but that influence is really fragile. All it will take for Ethiopia to leave Somali affairs alone is to have a government that is SINCERE and enjoys legitimacy through consent by the public.

"Muuse masuuliyad idiin ma qaado karo hadaad isku daysaan Biixi iyo Mr. Bean waa baa baa ba'aysaan." Cat phrases and counter arguments, who is winning war of words?

So, what other adjectives and names do you use to describe reer Mogadishu and reer Baydhabo? Good to see these kids are back. I hope they warn others against tahriib. I only see young men. Where are the girls?

Muuse the Menace struck again.

That's too much energy.

The Somali Coast

If things were that simply, you wouldn't bombard us with the ever increasing booto. In fact, Garowe will have been occupied as envisioned by you and Mr. Daaco in one of your many of your posts This war will have no winners but Muse Menace seem have bought into his BS. It has been six months since he stole the election, since then, he has taken the characteristics of a mad man.
