Socod-badane, you have contradicted your ideas too many times and it is not wise for us to proceed further with this debate.

 

It seems you are speaking for the plight of our people in the Somali region of Ethiopia, yet you implicitly approve of Somalia's border. You seem to be saying that Ethiopia crossed the border of Somalia. What border are you speaking of in the first place. Is it the border that was drawn by the colonial system. If so, what is your point? You can't speak in the sense that Ethiopia crosses the border while sympathising with the plight of our people in Ethiopia. In sum, multiple national identity to which you implicitly subscribe to entails elements of inflexibility in your thoughts and social reality. You are confounded by the opposite political perspectives in the region.

This is similar to how the leaders of the Islamic courts self-contradicted themselves many times.

 

 

The paradox is and was that some are exploiting our traditional base to nurture dissent against the TFG and kill any hopes it might try to achieve in its future objectives. I hope it doesn't happen, but such reactions would have been better served had it been channeled from the proper and genuine sentiment to the right direction.

 

Our people in the Somali region of Ethiopia, in my days of Somalia online, have never been given the attention they deserve. Their voices were stifled and hardly debated over and no Somali sites gave their plight much coverage, except WardheerNews. In fact, I posted several articles in regard to their plight and mulled over ways to convince our people to compromise over the disputed issues, promote communication and preserve relationship. However, no one was interested and the most sentimental Nomad here sent only abstract sympathy and empathy. We shouldn't use the plight of our people in OG-Land to pursue parochial clan interest.

 

 

Let us be true to our selves and refrain from hypocrisy and absurd claims of cry and hue for the so called invading troops. They are not invading us, for they could have invaded us long time ago, but the pretext for them to enter our country and protect the government was made possible by the Islamic courts in their attempt to destroy the TFG. Now with Ugandan troops in Somalia and the coming AU troops that will replace the Ethiopian troops in Somalia, I will sincerely ask those who oppose the government based on Ethiopia's presence in Somalia to give time and to dispense with their militancy and senseless suicide bombing.

 

The clan insurgents have been engaging in a systematic and organized killings and political assasination for many years. It is time to forgive each other and completely transform the demographic change caused by the push factors of the civil wars. This is in a way resolves the illusion of We vs Them
