Xaaji-Correction-Muslim Harar was never part of Christian Abyssinia. It was incorporated into Ethiopia in 1887 after the Battle of Chalengo.Harar were never classified as Ethiopians. The confusion here is people using Ethiopia (modern day state) and Christian Abyssinia interchangeably. Ethiopia was only established after Christian Highlanders (Abyssinians) slowly expanded to the South and subjugated the Oromo, Somali and other southern peoples.

^The area came under Ethiopian rule in the late 19th century so your claim of Ethiopian presence in the Somaligalbeed for CENTURIES is false. Ethiopia lost control of Somaligalbeed when the Italian invaded and Somaligalbeed was incorporated into Italian Somaliland.When Italians lost WW II, Britain took control of the area and the idea of Greater Somalia was entertained but it was struck down by the Yanks after lobbying by the Ethiopians. It was 1948 that Ethiopia was given sovereignty over Somaligalbeed despite Somali objections! Historically, Somaligalbeed was under the control of different Muslim states including the Adal empire-a Somali state.Even without the presence of any Somali political entity, the ethnic Somalis didn't belong to the Abyssinian empire and they had no desire to be part of Ethiopia. There's no historical evidence to suggest the Highlanders even controlled Somaligalbeed before the scramble for Africa. Even after the scramble, they lost the control first to Italians, then the Brits, and finally the Somalis in 77.

Libaahe..What does HIV, kufsi etc have to do their intervention in Xamar. You can object to their presence and don't have to drag Somali girls name into the conversation. Zack nin iska dhici! N you seem confused sxb, why would care what happens in another country anyway

Libaahe..Xamaasad maa kuqaade. Gabdhaha maxaa meesha keene? And your ignorance and racism is amazing!

^You are making alot assumptions without getting all the facts

^You claimed Ethiopia ruled Somaligalbeed for centuries , your map only reflects the scramble for Africa. Do you have any evidence showing Abyssinia enjoyed sovereignty over Somaligalbeed before the era of colonialism or era after Imam Ahmed Gurey when largely Muslim Somali army was defeated. Please provide the source of the map you posted!

Cara..It's waste of tax payer's dollars. They couldn't arrest this kid after realizing is lone-wolf with no know-how and had no means to carry out attacks. Like everything they do, the response to any perceived threat is disproportional hence the trillion dollar debt!

The Associated Press Sunday, November 28, 2010; 9:18 AM NAIROBI, Kenya -- Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni has paid a surprise visit to Somalia's war-ravaged capital. A spokesman for the African Union peacekeepers, Barigye Bahoku, says that Museveni's more than 4-hour visit on Sunday was meant to show his solidarity with the war-battered Somali people. He says Museveni met with the Somali president, the prime minister, and peacekeeping commanders and soldiers before he left the country. Uganda has contributed the bulk of the 7,000-strong African Union force that is keeping the country's weak government alive. Museveni is a strong supporter of an African intervention to defeat insurgents who confined the U.N-backed government into a few blocks of the capital, Mogadishu. Bahoku says this was Museveni's second visit to Somalia since he took power in 1986. AP

^Yup I love how Somali sites report the weekend fixtures.

^ What black day for Blackburn.

Where are reer Budh Burcos

^You should invite Q&Q to sit down with the secessionist elements within the TPLF so they could discuss Ethiopian history

^EU should have done this much earlier. It looks like EU is coercing them to adopt the draft constitution or else!

Centuries.....? Any source to back up your claim?

Nina....the question now is can they become reliable and competent partner in war or peace? Let's see what these technocrats can do! Nuune...Have you listened to Andre's interview?

It looks like the ultimatum by EU and other donors worked.

What do you hope to achieve here?

This is setup!

^You mean no Somali State?

Libaahe....Present some evidence then! Mythical grandfathers coming from Arabia is not a real story! A&T...Interesting but on point considering how highlanders moved south and swallowed entire nations including the important Oromo-something to ponder for those dismissing Ethiopia's intentions. That said, Ethiopia much like Somalia can go either way. A few committed people can undo the entire thing. Of course, one has to be willing to put in the hard work.
