Ethiopia leaves key Somali town

BBC News

Ethiopian troops have withdrawn from a key town in central Somalia.

Islamist insurgents say they now control Guriel, where Ethiopia had a big military base to secure the road linking the two countries.

A BBC correspondent in Somalia says it is not clear why the Ethiopian troops withdrew without any fighting.

Guriel was a stronghold of the Union of Islamic Courts (UIC), which lost power to Ethiopian-backed government troops a year ago this week.

Ethiopia's invasion is unlikely to bring peace and order to Somalia, or to assist the transitional government to establish an effective administration. Any external force that abandons an inclusive approach and sides with one group against another, is bound to exacerbate insecurity.
It is clear that the Somali Islamists are enemies to the US but arming and supporting a dictatorial regime with the notion of supporting the enemy's enemy will not bring positive outcome to the US as well as Ethiopians... It is lunatic to think that the Ethiopian army will crush the Islamists. Instead it will raise the patriotic spirit of Somalis and even those who have had negative attitude towards Islamists will prefer to join them.

Any Somali who hates the Islamists will not necessarily like the presence of Ethiopian troops in Somalia but be compelled to join the jihadists

The Islamic Courts forces are made up of a group of clean and pure believers who wanted to bring an end to bloody chaos sustained by warlords and militia leaders. It managed to expel highway robbers and the Mafia gang. However, the US, which tore apart the unity of Somalia, overthrew its government, blew up its stability and starved its people, was not pleased with this achievement and moved in to overthrow the courts.

Ethiopia will pay high price for its interference in Somali affairs.
Disorder will prevail in Somalia, which will become a safe heaven for Islamist groups from inside and outside Somalia, with the help of the Somali people this time round.

Death to Woyane ….a la x-demeke,

Actually I never wanted reply to your comment as ur irrelevant to us. Quick question though...

Do u realize the reason for urn hate towards Tigris is, because u are so scared the hell out of them?
We Ethiopians or Tigrian's do not hate Eritrean blindly. We just want kick only Issy-ass and his Shabia dogs that btw includes your type.
U are so cheap and full of hate it is not worthy to reply on ur comments next time.

Nazret.com,

Comments such as menzew who is specifically attempting to build hatred to an Ethiopia ETHNIC should not be allowed in such form. We agree to disagree however when HATRED is promoted we must NOT allow such towards to our OWN citizens.

Hi Somalis,.....do not be fooled with this tactic.The Ethiopian army is known with this kind of system.You think they are leaving and you will be back to the town a week after they will come behind you and you do not have any choice exept dying.So be careful.Do not say hahahaha....This tactic called KORETA.Which roughly means "Cuting your throat from behind."This is my own translation.

Woyane/TPLF, the Mad dog of the Horn, are suffering terribly from rabies!!

A few years back, they used to say that 'we know what war is and how it can burn you to death'. That is now long forgotten! Their brain is washed with blue label Whiskey. They don't have any memories and don't know where they came from. But one fact remains true though - Woyane's demise is inevitable.

OK, OK, Ok, Ok OK, Don't be so naive and exciting for nothing, unless you are desparate Eritrean praying day and night for bad news about Ethiopia (not woyane), It is very, very unlikely to see Ethiopia lost the war in Somalia while all out developments are going on Somalia. STOP these non-sense wish about Ethiopia and support Ethiopian army without if everywhere it goes as long as it caries Green, yellow and Red flag!!! Don't be naive excited for Nothing!!!

What I don’t understand is those foolish Ethiopians like Fox and Menzew, who is cheering along with Eritrean spies, nabiu and death to woyane. The only explanation is that they must be Eritrean spies themselves. Ethiopia does not own such bonehead people.

There are things I never supported woyannes action and there are several and several things I support woyanne like many and uncountable Ethiopians. Believe me, Ethiopians will vote for woyanee if they will keep away Eritrea from Ethiopia but bring Ethiopian historical port "Assab" one way or another and take that non-sense ethnic based federalism away. Unite Ethiopia. and, and keep the economy grow ..... I think recently woyanee is coming to this circle. Mr. Borko Keep dreaming while you are dying !!!

I feel offended every time Somalis from Somalia talk about Ogaden region as part of Somalia on the bases of 1977 Ethio-Somali war. Somalis would be better off if they leave this region and its people (Ogaden people of Ethiopia) and mind their own business, building their nation, etc.

People in Ogaden choose to remain in Ethiopian federal system, the system is working great so far for them, and they are in the center of this great nation of theirs. Therefore, I don't really understand why some Somalis repeat old rehearse to confuse average people of both nations.

The TPLF parasites have not choice but flee Somalia. The heroic Somali resistance although small in numbers and less armed than its oppenents, it has the will to defeat the low morale TPLF gangesters in some parts of our country. Unlike Nazret, our Somali websites show corpses of TPLF and other misled kids of Ethiopia. Yesterday some Somali websites showed a mentaliy retarded fled his hiding place and was captured by the insurgents. Expect more TPLF gangs and the misled kids of Ethiopia coming back home either mentality, limb missing or in a body bag courtesy of the heroic Somali fighters.

Mr. Borko, We don't need Assab, it is useless port unless ethiopia with it. The only port Eritrea will never use it. Ethiopia has masive population and purchesing power which can not be denied. Asseb is and will be forever park for Camels. Now, Ethiopia has several fronts to import its goods and the economy is booming. It is true it could have been cheaper if we used Assabe but unfortunately, it is not. However, since we grow every year Why we need Assab? Furthermore, Asseb will part of Ethiopia once we put pupat government in Eritrea (after we take down that crazay leader in Eritrea) and his cousin Meles leaves office. It is taken UNJUSTLY from Ethioia! Wait and see!

"unlike Nazret, our Somali websites show corpse of TPLF and other misled kids of Ethiopia" yahye

Unlike Nazret your Somali websites are one sided. 99% of somals have the same views, hate hate hate. look at ethiopians some disagree with the government policy, others on side of Somals. you are long way behind ethios.

Hiran[visitor] good points! however that is Somalian view,, as an Ethiopian my country interest and security comes first. i know majority Somalians are not conservative Muslims but big mouth, it takes only few years to radicalize them. Somalia has the longest border with Ethiopia, radicalism can spread easily, besides we have around 5 millions Somalis in ethiopia including those have been immigrating. don't forget in 1977/8 Syad Barre took advantage of political unrest in ethiopia to invade us. you got to drop the idea of greater somalia otherwise you lose somalia altogether.

Ethiopia never moved to Somalia to be liked by the Jihadists and Islamists. Ethiopia decided to move to Somalia for two main reasons: One to devoid Shabiyas dream of safe heaven in Somalia and to support the struggle of the peace loving somali against Jihadist thugs.

We all know how the western journos report when it comes about Somalia. The Jihadist sympathizers disguised as somali reportes write fiction about insurgent attacks and the western media follows suite.

Look how they report this recent story. They call it key Somali town. If it was key and as they want us to believe that the insurgents are getting ststron, why the hell were they waiting until our heros leave the town? Ethiopians never run and if our heros in fact leave a town we will hear soon the burial of those killers before they flee. They will sorround them and bury them as usual. The desperate terrorist sympathizers and Shabiya dogs need some news like this as a comfort for their dashed dream of dominating the horn.

We all know as recently as a month ago, the western media said that one Somali town was controlled by the insurgents until the elders said the truth about the town.

The PR to make a fictious victory against our gallant forces is in full swing. However, Ethiopians are doing their job of flushing every terrorist silently and sooner or later we will see the end of the desperate PR by the leftists, terrorist sympathizers and Shabiya dogs.

Viva Ethiopia and keep up the good work.

Death to Weyane- I am as Amahra as you could get. The problem with you is you are UIC, Derg Residue, Somalia or OPLF terrorist who is in denial. Yes I am proud to be EPDRF supporter and I am not the only Amahra who love the ruling of EPDRF. Tell me, Are you one of those stupid who still support CUD, who in turns support the terrorist OPLF or are you UIC who is on the run . You are so blind by your hate for Tigria people you can’t even see the truth. Ethiopians we are united despite our ethnic backround unlike Somalia. At the end, it doesn’t matter who you think you are fighting, but Somalia will be free and Ertrains will be next. If you are Ethiopian you will know where the name ALEM is from. (Gojam) OK.

Woyanes are in a real trouble. There are tens of thousands of prisoners in concentration camp in Tigray mainly Maichew and Mekele. The reason for this is a fear the Tigray youth will join the fighters of TPDM, which is actually fighting woyane inside tigray which could be worst than Ogaden.
Concerning Somalia woyane soldiers flee the biggest ethiopian base which is in the middle of road connecting Ethiopia with Somalia. Woyane soldiers are loosing the war and are dying in daily basis in mogadishu by somalian fighters and capturing alive woyane soldiers, that is truth.
Meles zenawi and military commanders had a meeting in addis to discuss the situation in somalia and it's all bad news for woyane.
There is a plan of running out of somalia but the issue discussed was what about disarming the elite forces who will return back after the defeat because there is a fear the army may make a mutiny and fire back.
Good luck woyane!

Great Eritreas History.

I couldn't help laughing when I saw the intelligent comment you made about the history of Tigreans. I just wondered why you failed to add the following facts to the long list of your imaginery diatribe that

a)They have long been under the colony of one colonial master after the other for more than 100 years. (The Turks, the Arabs, the Italians and even now the likes of Issayas Afeworki Who does not have a single drop of Eritrean blood.

b)They are the only weird society who are proud of being colonised by the Italians and the Arabs. And they brag quite a lot until this time that they were proud servants and slaves of the Italians.

c)They are people who couldn't even lead their armed struggle by their own leaders. Instead Individuals like Woldeab w/mariam and the cunning Issayas had to lead them how to fight and struggle. They still do not have leaders of their own untill this precise moment

d)These are the people who stir up
trouble wherever their hands could stretch upto to attract the attention of the international community whenever they feel the world is missing them and forgeting about them.

c)They are weird people who brag that they are almighty (Kulu zekalom)and can do whatever they like and whenever they like. And at times they try to act like peacemakers of the trouble they have incited in the neighbouring countries like what they have repeatedly done to and in Sudan.

Hoho, the list could go on and on and on but I have to stop it here as my sense of humanity wouldn't allow me to go any further and to spare any further embarrasement to my neighbouring people because of the stupidity of individuals like yourself.

Thank God. At last our government has the courage to show that we mean business to all members of the OAU who promised to deploy troops a year ago but failed to do so. You can not take us for granted (for a ride) with an empty promises.

We have done our job primarily for our own sake.Do you remember how many attack (jihad) warnings the UIC given to Ethiopia in the last eight months of their power? There were five and I can list you the dates and preconditions.

Thanks to our brave troops now we are not under the shadows of the Islamic fundamentalists who were threatening our national integrity.

Unfortunately this doesn’t mean that the tribal problems are removed. That, I think is beyond our remit and call of duty. We have suggested and even supported what we thought is the best for Somalia; i.e. a coalition government. Unfortunately some didn’t think so. They want to settle and solve their difference by gun. Good luck to them. I don’t think we will see them again unless of course there is another treat which questions our national integrity.

For those of you who want to score a point on our government at a cost your country I feel sorry for you. If you are dick head, come on and have a gut to spell it out. I will tell you how your brain thinking is no more than an IQ of my ASS.

What is next? Stop f***ing pretending you don’t understand the intention of your enemies. Stand up and fight! There is no Ethiopia without Tigre and Amhara! Go for it!

Any port is useful if it is used for a common advantage. Ethiopia can use by force or otherwise the port of Assab, Kismayo, Hargessa, Mogadishu or any other port if she think it is important for the country’s Economy-visa-a vise any government’s wish.

Having a by water front doesn’t mean nothing for Ethiopia if the Government wants to use diplomatic or military force to pursue that goal. Assab port is nothing if Ethiopia doesn’t use it as a Port in Djibouti is a useless piece of land if it doesn’t serve Ethiopian entrepreneurs. You can buy a port for the right money-perhaps better than subsidizing an economy of a hostile country. Ethiopia doesn’t need a port….port is a joint venture!

The Ministry of fisheries is working to conserve marine resources through the Eritrea Coastal, Island and Marine Biodiversity project. This began in 1998, with the support of the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and the UNDP, Eritrea. With a budget close to $US5 million, the project aims to ensure the conservation and sustainable use of the globally significant biodiversity of Eritrea’s Coastal, marine and island (CMI) ecosystem.

An alliance of [Ethiopian] opposition groups called Unity of Ethiopians for Democratic Change [UEDC] has been formed in a bid to take the Ethiopian people’s struggle to victory and shorten the life of the weyane [Ethiopian] regime in power.
The organizations which formed the union are four armed Ethiopian organizations, which are waging an armed struggle to remove the weyane regime from power. They are the Tigray People’s Democratic Movement [TPDM, operating in northern Ethiopia], the Ethiopian People’s Patriotic Front [EPPF, operating mainly in north-western Ethiopia], the Southern Ethiopia People’s Front for Justice and Equality [SEPFJE, operates in southern Ethiopia] and the Benishangul People’s Movement [BPM, operates in western Ethiopia]. In a joint communiqué, the organizations said that they would further enhance their military, political, propaganda and cultural activities under the leadership of UEDC.The organizations called on Ethiopians living in the country and abroad, opposition groups and the weyane soldiers to stand alongside the alliance and give their support in the struggle against the weyane regime.

Issayas? Yea, I know him! I know him when he ordered to bury an unarmed 5467 Ethiopian soldiers to send to a mass grave in the Hamassien Lowlands-even though they layed their arms after the traitor Generals surrendered to that Devil! His hatred of Ethiopia never had a boundary. That is why Professor Asrat once said ‘get me this bastard out of this hall’ when he started talking about the fraternity between Ethiopians and Eritreans in his appearance sponsored by the TPLF in our beloved capital at the beginning of their triumph.

Folks, never forget what has been done to the true Ethiopian heroes who always gave their only life for the unity of our country when Essayas and his mercenaries tried to dismantle that wholly land.

Be clever, not emotional, to defeat the Bandas!

Ethiopia has always God’s proptection!

Comment from: one ethiopia [Visitor]

"Ethiopia has always been a mosaic of linguistic groups but it has no history of internecine conflict on the basis of ethnicity until the arrival of PM Meles and his party in 1991; who to the horror of many, and for the first time in the country’s long history imposed virulent ethno-centric policies including a wide ranging bantustanization of the country along ethnic lines aimed more at manipulation of differences rather than the promotion of ethnic equality." - Kinijit, April 22, 2006
A historic meeting convened by the Coalition for Unity and Democracy Party (CUDP), the Ethiopian People's Patriotic Front (EPPF), the Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF), the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF), the Sidama Liberation Front (SLF) and the United Ethiopian Democratic Forces (UEDF), at Utrecht in Netherlands, from 19 to 22 of May 2006 has successfully completed by forming the Alliance for Freedom and Democracy (AFD) and elected its officers.
The UEDF supports the formation of the alliance and its objectives and has requested a month to consult its member organizations. The formation of the Alliance is an outcome of a series of bilateral and multilateral discussions conducted in the past several months. The Founding Agreement has been unanimously accepted and ratified by all members of the Alliance. The formation of this Alliance reflects the aspirations and best wishes of all people in Ethiopia whose life has been blighted by political repression, marginalization and exclusion.

The ultimate aim of the Alliance is to establish a just, representative and a genuine democratic process through the convening of an all-inclusive conference where the country’s problems will be discussed and resolved.

We are confident that the formation of this Alliance will be a vehicle to eliminate mistrust and suspicion between political groups and communities so that all will work together in the spirit of mutual understanding and to the benefit and well-being of all. We believe the collective effort behind the Alliance will put an end to the existing destructive mentality of winner takes all and the habitual indifference towards the excluded. The Alliance aspires to purposefully cultivate the values of compromise, tolerance, inclusion, reconciliation and mutual understanding. That is the only way to end the underlying causes of repression, bloodshed, insecurity, political instability and exclusion in Ethiopia and the region, which are inflicting severe hardships and suffering on all people, and seriously hampers the prospects for development and the attainment of equality, justice and prosperity.

Time and time again the people in Ethiopia have risen up and paid unimaginable sacrifice to satisfy their yearning for freedom, justice, liberty and democracy. The struggle and the sacrifice that is being paid in relation to the May 15 2006 election is a recent addition to the series of quashed aspirations.

Our people have demonstrated their readiness and ability that a just and democratic political order is feasible in Ethiopia. What stands between the aspiration for freedom and democracy and its realization is the unwillingness of the incumbent EPRDF regime to submit to the expressed will of the people and its flagrant violations of human rights and civil liberties and failure to even respect and abide by its very own constitution.

The Alliance will therefore struggle to pressure the ruling party to stop frustrating the realization of the yearning for freedom and democracy. The Alliance would use its generous spirit of inclusiveness in convening the conference that would facilitate a way towards the establishment of a democratic and representative order.

We call upon all the people of Ethiopia, both at home and abroad, to rise up in unison to support the cause of the Alliance and struggle to make the convening of the conference, which paves the way for a democratic transition, a reality. The struggle should continue to challenge the current spate of repression in the country, halt the futile and destructive military campaigns, security crackdowns and end the farcical political trial of elected members of parliament and others and to free all political prisoners, including those detained in the small towns and villages.

We also call upon the international community to realize that dialogue and good-faith negotiation offers the only way to achieve a lasting solution and back the alliance's call for this all-inclusive conference to break the current impasse. We hope the international community will realize that peace and stability, sustainable development and good governance can be a reality in Ethiopia only when the disfranchisement of the many by the few is stopped and by bringing all the stakeholders together to chart a genuinely democratic course.

Ethiopian's problems are immense and grossly complicated. Convening an all-inclusive conference to address them is well over due. We do not underestimate the obstacles and challenges facing us. However, with patience and perseverance we are certain that we will succeed.

The Alliance would hold a Press Conference to lay out its vision and work programs in detail.

Freedom and Democracy for all!

tigray and eritrea are brother

About tigrays being Eritrea it is like saying California is Mexico. First eritrea has many ethnic grows all beautiful and distinct like Ethiopia. Tigrays might share some culture with tigriny of Eritrea but that doesn’t make them Eritreans. If it does make them Eritreans than the Amharas are their closest relatives and share history and culture with Tigrays so that makes Amharas Eritrean too. Than there are the Afar of Eritrea they are related to the Afar of Ethiopia than that makes the Afar of Ethiopia Eritreans too. The Afar of Ethiopia are related to the Oromo and Somalis they are cushitic speakers and share simlear culture than that makes Oromos and Somalis Eritrean

So Where Does It Stop!

Ethiopia a country of braves & civilized people that most of the world admire will not be deter by the most uncivilized scums of earth shabians.

Eprdf the night mare of shabians will continue developing ethiopia while most erterans burn with thier own jealousy and envy.Shabians mouth is as big as thier camel,atleast a camel is honest.

The lazy backward shabians hate toward innocent ethiopia will come bite them just like musoline was killed in the street of rome.When the facist musoline was hanged by his own people ,most erterans were crying and mourning him of his death.They loved him for his killing ,murdering,gas bombing the innocents ethiopian,that refuesd to be slaves.

Now the children of askaris on this site with thier slave mentality are trying to defame the great ethiopian people for selfish reasons.Shabians crime against ethiopia & particulary KUNAM & AFAR people will bring them to justice in the federal court of addis ababa.

Ethiopians will continue to defend thier holy land despite political or language differences.God bless ethiopia & her beautiful people for ever.

For those of who wish death to ethiopia this is the day dream that you are going to share with some neighbours. your are going to burn yourself seeing ethiopia prosperoue infront of you're nose.You may keep dreaming, but......

For those of who oppose EPRDF that is you're right, you can struggle to the death to bring what you think is good for the people,but try to avoid wishing death to Ethiopian soldiers any where, because they are your brothers and do not belong to any political party.You can't claim that you are working for the people by wishing death to flush and bloods of the people, for the sake of your political benefit.

To EPRDF's I believe you have made some serious mistakes and also some
goods in our history.I think it is better for the people to choose who has to lead them.Not resisting a true
democracy is the thing that you should do.

Dear my fellow Ethiopians,

Please be aware that the swarms are out on a full scale to created division among as inside ET and in the Diaspora. The swarms I am referring to are the SHAEBIAN agents and their mercenaries are trained will for the following: 1} to rape children, 2} to lie and multiplying the lies, 3} to destroy our image on the world’s stage, 4} to steal our wealth, 5} and to create fear among our citizens and our neighbor Somalia. In order for us {ETHIOPIANS} to filter out all those who’re working 24/7 to create division among our population, 1st we MUST stand firm and UNITED as one people. 2nd we MUST prioritized our nation’s interest 1st before our own personal interest. I am certain if we stop listening to the dividing force from Eritrea, we’ll be strong and unbreakabl

Now, BBC reported stating “Ethiopian troops have withdrawn from a key town in central Somalia” however, the report does not have any clue as to why ET military withdrew its forces from the town. My guess is that ET wants to give to Somalians the chance to take care of their towns and build their nation with the help of our troops. I am certain that if ET military is needed back to the town again {at the request of the TFG of Somalia} they’ll return and assist the Somalis. I should keep in mind that Ethiopian military did not go to Somalia to police the population. It went there to remove the UIC who declared Jihad against ET and stated they would someday love to kill children and women in the streets of Addis Ababa. Of course, or brave military answered their wishes earl this year and Eritrean special arm forces where declared none-Eritreans once Ethiopian military started capturing most of them and killing some. My point is that ERI can talk but when it comes to the real show, its military does not have the balls to withstand us. We now that for awhile and we are not going to be fooled by some who are paid some NAKFA to spread hate among our citizens.

I wonder why the Tplf cyber cadres do not feel shame when they tell us Tplf mercenary army invaded Somalia to protect Ethiopian interest. Whose inteligence are they insulting? Tplf invaded Somalia to secure unconditional American support to stay in power by brutally supressing Ethiopian peoples struggle. The Tplf regime needed American political and monetary support to continue its brutal rule inside Ethiopia. To do that, Tplf calculated (Miscalculated) it had to show its unconditional loyality by invading Somalia giving false alarm. The calculation went very bad and now the regime is in a bloody quagmire. As the British military expert stated on the BBC, the regime is on the verge of collapse ---

Knox Chitiyo, head of the Africa programme at the Royal United Services Institute in London, believes the Ethiopian military position is increasingly difficult.

"The government now has daggers pointing at it from all directions," he says.

"It is facing a multi-front war with no prospect of a military victory."

The non Tigray ethnics of Ethiopia have no any wish or intention to go to war with Somalia or Eritrea. It is the fiasco strategy of the TPLF gangs and the CIA's who are making hell to the citizines of Ethiopia.

It is not the interst of the Somali that woyanes leave Somalia now. We want them to stay. Our plan is not only to defeat TPLF thugs for good but to make sure no threat comes to SOmalia form Ethiopia that is known to have governments that serve the intrest of the WESTERNERS other than the interest of the people of Ethiopia and respect their neighbors.

TPLF came to SOmalia and we don't want them to leave untill other nations in the horn that are fighting for their freedom are libreated ie: Oromo, Amahars, Afars, Sidams, and Western SOmalia known as Ogaden.

OOnly then, Horn of Africa can become peaceful region.

Our Security Interest in Somalia is stable Horn of Africa and we can achive so long TPLF troops remain in SOmalia.

Hillu well said .."why dont you pray instead of bla bla bla".........

It doesnt make sense how some of you coment in here. Atleast try to have a look at the big picture of why things happen.
We live in a give and take world, hence its ovious why EPRDF chose to go into somalia- to help the US fight terrorism, in return for incentives in economic and various fields, but at the same time to help Somalian interim gov. We can argue majority of the somalian population do not support the interm gov, but without doubt the majority of the somali people do not want the islamic groups either becouse even thou they brought a relative peace while they were in control, in the long run, the somali people woudnt have been happy with most likely a taliban like elements set up in their nation,Yet majority may have supported them cos they brought safety while they were in control. The somali people are free spirited people who doesnt want to be told how to live by some group. Specialy Taliban like group. Somalians must know Ethiopia doesnt need any Somalian land hence that is clear Ethiopia is not trying to do that but to help.
let us all pray and wish peace to the horn and to the world. Peace !

I read many comments from politically immature Ethiopians who say Ethiopia invaded Mogadishu to protect its Security interest in the region.

Well, it is one year later and many poor Ethiopian soldiers died; many Somali civilians have been killed, displaced and we have many angry young Somalis who remember this symbol 1228 (Dec. 28, 2006) for life and intent to pass to their children so that they can revenge against Ethiopia (TPLF) in the future.

Did Ethiopia protected its security interest or it risked its security interest? Latter is true. Ethiopia created unnecessary enemy out of willingly friendly Somalia. Now, majority of Somali people want to retaliate and harm Ethiopia same way TPLF harmed Somalia.

TPLF started this war and only Somalis can stop and we have no any intension to stop until we defeat woyane and eliminate any threat from Ethiopia.

All I know is Woyane will be chased all the way to Tigray State.

Somali realist,

Look who is talking about political maturity! You Somali people have been slashing each others throat for the past decades, even before the invasion of the Ethiopian army. The sturcture of your social life compounded with your religion makes your country unable to form a peaceful Somalia and instead you opted to imigrate to all over the world. Why don't you question yourselves as to why you are unable to form a government despite many meetings between countless clans? You people are lazy, selfish and born only to chew khat instead of doing something productive to yourselves and to Africa. Just tell me one thing that Somalis are good about, except fighting between yourselves which is causing distability in the horn of Africa in particular, and in the world in general. If you are incapable of cleaning your messy house, unfortunately, somebody has to do it for you.

Somali: as always and as expected, you are the student of lies and deception. The truth of the matter over your remarks are as follows.
Ethiopia never ever claimed an inch of land, from an internationally recognized borders of Somalia, in all the wars we fought and therefore, Ethiopia has never had a reason to violet or cross over in to Somalia. Somalia has always been the instigators and perpetrator of the past wars and every time they did, the response has been in the "wars of countries and the world", help your self and flip the pages, if you have the time and the ability. Now it is a different time, different leaders and different century. Apparently prime Minister Meles Zenawi is a good student of history, specially between the two countries. When the Islao-fascist leader, shik Awayes ordered and declared a jihad against my country Ethiopia, Pm. Meles took a defiance posture and major and said we are not gonna fight these terrorists in our territory but theirs and that is exactly what he did. You should have advised your bloody terrorist leader the Shik, not to treat the neighboring countries and Ethiopia. As a matter of fact Shik Awayes is an old school Cornell, the now terrorist, who never forgot the experience of the past Ethio-Sommalia wars, as a young solder. As far you and your destitute terrorists are concerned, the ball is in your back yard, decide and learn to live in peace with Ethiopia and your neighbors or let Somalia be as the world knows her, Savage, back ward and a capital city of terrorism and a lawless land.

MR.MMM this is for you.
All Ethiopians, Be united despite your ethnicity. People will call you name if you are Amahra like me for supporting the EPDRF. Don’t let that bother you. They have such small brain they can’t understand how to respect one ethnicity and be proud we are all Ethiopians. Those who try to divide us are our enemy. Look what happen in America. Regardless of people believed or not believed President Bush win the election, they support their precedent. We need to do the same regardless you like it or not, People need to support EPDRF at this stage while we are at war. I am supporter for Meles, because he has done a lot for the country, he is smart, and surly he cares for the country more than those I have seen Like “CUD”. To my Amahra brothers who are sending all insults, I advise you to read your History from Axum to now. You have a lot to be proud about and surely you will stop hating people because they are tigra or other etnic. I am not a politician, I don’t Vote or receive anything from anyone for telling you haters to love your country despite who is on the top. I know for sure those of you who are trying to divide us are so minor. The majority of the people are united despite our ethnicity. Our different ethnicity is advantage for us, not the other way around.

The Woyane of Tigre have never forgotten the ruthless, wide scale punishment inflicted upon their people by the Amhara rulers. When the Woyane came to power in Ethiopia as the TPLF in 1991, their resentment was manifested in official and unofficial discrimination and harassment of the Amhara. Indeed, one aspect of the ethnic federalism of the FDRE is but a thinly disguised license to encourage hatred of the Amharas. The role of the British in crushing the Woyane revolt and in bombing civilians remains in the collective memory too.
Popularly, the rebellion has also been partially understood as a competition for Ethiopian rule between the Amhara and Tigrayan nobility. The last hereditary governor of Tigray (whose role Aregawi Berhe de-emphasizes) was intimately involved in the rebellion and might yet lay claim to popular support in an unfettered Ethiopian or Tigrayan political system.

Comment from: independent tigray [Visitor]
The final goal of the TPLF is to secede from Ethiopia as an independent "Republic of Greater Tigray" by liberating the lands and peoples of Tigray.

This being the manifesto of TPLF in 1976,
the question is how much of this program is implemented so far?


Ethiopia Political Map pre-1991




TPLF's Ethiopia Map post-1991
The implementation of the manifesto had two important stages classified as a first stage of re-demarcating Ethiopian internal boundaries and a second stage of acquiring Tigryan lands from Eritrea and secede as an independent nation. Accordingly, the following important events took place;

• After TPLF succeeded in holding power in Ethiopia, they have been working hard to change the internal regional administrations of Ethiopia at large and of Tigray in particular. As a result, they have imposed dictation on the Ethiopian parliament and succeeded in redefining the borders of different nationalities within Ethiopia. The boundaries of Tigray were defined exactly according to what was registered in their manifesto. They did this by annexing the lands of Welkait Humera up to the borders of Sudan from Begemidir province and Wollo’s Raya including Ashengie Alamata and Kobo. In order to justify the demarcation, they had to give up something in return and the lands closer to the Taltal and Afar regions of Ethiopia in eastern Tigray were temporarily sacrificed until the second stage of the project takes place. This important re-demarcation of Ethiopian internal boundaries resulted in the successful completion of the first stage of forming "Greater Tigray" later to be converged into the "Republic of Tigray" after the second stage is completed.

• After completing the annexation of "Tigryan" lands from the provinces of Begemidir and Wollo, they moved ahead to compIete the annexation of portions of Eritrea to finalize the objectives of the manifesto in practice as the second stage of their project. Zalambessa is the closest one can get to the Eritrean Saho region and Adimurug in Bada. Obviously the temporarily sacrificed eastern Tigray region would now be simultaneously acquired in this second stage of the project since there would be no organized force that could stop the Weyanes inside Ethiopia. By claiming these lands and forcibly annexing them, the manifested "Democratic Republic of Tigray" would be practically reaIized and then of course cessation from Ethiopia would follow.

• AccompIishing the dream inside Ethiopia was easily performed by simply dictating terms in the parliament since TPLF administrates Ethiopia, while means to finish returning the port of Assab would be accomplished by the Ethiopian army, financed and supported by the Ethiopian economic and human resources. Patriotic Ethiopians are expected to side with TPLF in hope of probable return of Assab to Ethiopia, while the truth is that the port city, if recaptured, would not be Ethiopian but of the would be new nation of "Greater Tigray". This is so because the second stage of the project would have been completed at this point, making it the right time for the TPLF to secede. If there is anything that might delay the declaration of the republic after this, it would have been the time required to consolidate their control of Eritrean portions by sheer force, further using and exploiting innocent and patriotic Ethiopian peoples expectations and support. This support would again be betrayed in the final stages of the creation of the republic.

• While the imaginary manifested program is completed this way, the economic ploy had another direction. This direction was focused at transporting capital and material as much as possible from the rest of Ethiopia to Tigray for future use when the "Republic" is established. This would require for TPLF staying in power in Ethiopia until the plan is well implemented. The implementation of this economic program is crystal clear for any body who has recently traveled to Tigray. The TPLF/Weyane regime has been heavily investing Ethiopian capital in Tigray such that the region and the city of Mekele are the fastest growing in the country. Mekele is infested with so many new buildings which have no immediate contribution to the Tigryan economy. These are empty high rises ready to be used in the future when the republic which would include Assab is fully established. Besides the fact that numerous buildings have been built in Tigray at the expense of the Ethiopian economy, the following are few indicatives to that effect as to how much has so far been done in last 15 years of their power.


Economically

A• An international airport in Mekele with no immediate importance in terms of accommodating international guests and travelers since the city has yet to grow both financially and infrastructurally. Being this the fact, however, the erection of this new and expensive airport was based on two objectives. The short term objective is to help the TPLF's war efforts against Eritrea by bombarding the same into submission without having to worry about air distance using the Ethiopian air force from Tigray. The long term objective was to move the entire Ethiopian air force to Mekele and convert it to the air force of the republic, and at the same time to use the international airport for civil aviation of the Republic of Greater Tigray after declaring independence from Ethiopia. Two more international airports have been completed in Tigray, again with no immediate importance in terms of accommodating international travelers.

B• Three colleges in Mekele namely Engineering, Medical, and Business. These colleges are complete in terms of infrastructure for future use when the republic is established.

C• The Cement, Textile, Electricity Dam, Marble, and Pharmaceutical factories in Tigray which costed hundreds of millions/billions of clean Ethiopian money. The port of Massawa was used to sneak materials inside Tigray in the name of "Ethiopian imported goods", and used exclusively for Tigray without the knowledge of government offices in Addis Ababa.

D• The multiple high rising office buildings empty for now but to be soon filled by the Weyane bureaucrats in independent Tigray.

E• The luxury residential homes and spacious buildings such as those known by "Debri Hills" in the out skirts of Mekele for possible embassy offices and residence of diplomats.

D• Refer to the extensive list of companies owned by TPLF with the majority having their head office in Tigray.



Politically and Strategically

The above being few of the massive investment of Ethiopian economy in Tigray, their political and strategic plans were made to be effective when the group of top TPLF leaders moved their offices from Addis Abeba to Mekele. The movement coincided with the completion of the first stage of implementing the manifesto so they can closely monitor and design the implementation of the second stage of the project. In the process, they have been effectively preparing a "strong army" from within Tigray. The same TPLF group (the TPLF Coalition Committee) dictates terms on the entire Ethiopian issues. The central government of Ethiopia listens to the central committee of the TPLF residing in Tigray which has been working under the confusing philosophical banner of the "Marxist Leninist League of Tigray". This group is instrumental in the process of completing the second stage and the frame work for the future government of the "Republic of Greater Tigray".

After controlling Assab and other planned lands at the expense of Ethiopian human and material resources, the TPLF group would only then complete the goals of their impractical manifesto fully. As easy as it seemed to them, they will finally move towards seceding from Ethiopia as an independent nation, leaving Ethiopia in confusion, uncertainty, and extreme danger of ethnic conflict, and Eritrea under a government that can be easily controlled by their authority. Some experts say they had planned to leave Ethiopia without a central government for Ethiopian major ethnic groups such as the Amharas and the Oromos to figure it out, and for them, gaining time to consolidate their "Republic". At this point, the dream "the Republic of Greater Tigray" would have been put in practice and Tigray would secede from Ethiopia with Assab. In their plan Assab would be Tigryan and never Ethiopian.

You are not Somali my friend. You are a TPLF thug who is hiding behind the name Somali.

We do not want to unite with Ethiopia. We are Somali and we will remain that way for ever. Make no mistake, TPLF will be defeated and chased all the way to their state.

To Senzero

Tell me any successful country in this world that does not have a history of civil war that its people fought to eliminate each other?

What is happening in Somalia is prerequisite for success. He who suffers succeeds in life.

To me, Somalia is the only country in Africa that totally abandoned the imported colonial system of governance Europeans designed for Africa to control the continent.

We suffer now, but trust me Africa will go through the same way Somalia is going through because the concept of Nation State exists in Flag and Government. People through out the continent have no clue of what it is. Once we solve our problem and stand on our feet, world will witness what happens in Somalia.

Being all over the globe as a result of the civil war is something that has advantage. Diapora communities remit Billion Dollars per Month to the country. They produce thinkers who had the opportunity to learn from the more advanced countries in Europe and North America.

Bro, the FUTURE belongs to Somalia and slicing each others throats is something that comes with the territory.

Somali Realist,

That kind of attitude is what confuses Somali Republic's statehood. Somalia and its people need to deal their own problems and never get busy with other issues they have nothing to do with, Ogaden region of Ethiopia, North-Eastern region of Kenya or Djabuiti. These people at least have governments, law and order. Somalis in Somalia need to mind their endless problems, their failled state. It seems they are calling these people into the hell they are in. There is nothing in Somalia to be talked about. Somalis in Ethiopia, Kenya and Djabuiti are thinking about development, not bullets and wars. Please leave them alone.

"Islamist insurgents say they now control Guriel, where Ethiopia had a big military base to secure the road linking the two countries.

A BBC correspondent in Somalia says it is not clear why the Ethiopian troops withdrew without any fighting.

Guriel was a stronghold of the Union of Islamic Courts (UIC), which lost power to Ethiopian-backed government troops a year ago this week."

Typical of sensational reportng by BBC. It only tells us what the islamists claim. What do you expect from them, to say that they are defeated? Remember, Ethiopia is there at the request of the transitional government and for its own national security needs. Mistakenly governments choose to negotiate with terrorists like Afganistan and Pakistan are doing with the Taliban. See what is happening both in Pakistan and Afganistan. Terrorists do not understand negotiation they only understand force.

This idea of trying to compromise is mostly America's. If Ethiopia leaves an area it has pacifed, the reason could be just that..pacified. Or the new prime minster may have chosen to negotiate with the islamists, because they may have told him that they would disarm lf Ethiopians leave etc. Many facets to a story, but BBC chose one, where terrorists proclaimed victory. That is fine with Ethiopia. Defeat or victory is for the Somali people.

Most Somalis had a taste of UIC. They do not like them. If they did, and if not withthe support of the silent majority somalis, Ethiopian army in somalia would not last a day. So all you terrorist sympathyzers on Nazret.com get your thoughts strait. By and large somalia is pacified. Of the 16 districs in Mogadishu only 4 are infected with terrorists. The rest of Somalia is generally at peace. Remember there are Somaliland and Puntland who have been self governing for the last 16 years, and they are helping Ethiopia bring peace and stability to the region. These semi autonomous regions were much threatened during the brief reign of UIC (6 months).

Bottom line is for somalis to create a situation whereby Ethiopian defense forces would leave somalia. A stable Somalia is in Ethiopi's interest. The arms merchants of the west and the east are interested in destabilized somalia.

If Ethiopia unilaterally withdraws from Somalia, it will be chaos, and I do not think you guys would like that. Please think straight. Ethiopia can always withdrow to its borders, and if so somalia can only fall into deep chaos. This is a small window of opportunity for somali's to come together and solve a problem. Name calling would not cut it.

Eritrean swarm day dreamers like “INDEPENDENT TIGRAY” are desperate for anything to build hatred among us people. This person doesn’t even have a clue about his/her bluffing. However, instead of using his/her Eritrean moron name he/she has thought that using the TIGRAY name would somehow make him/her the education ET person.

TPLF formed a movement in 1974 not in 1976. 2nd, TPLF merged in to EPRDF and there is no desire for the STATE OF TIGRAY to split from the rest of Ethiopia. Therefore, your day dreams are over Eritrean people. The problem you have inside Eritrea is your own making. DON”T TRY TO SPREAD YOUR CANCER ON US {ETHIOPIANS} Ethiopia is beautiful without Eritrea. Stop the blame game and do something to save your people in Eritrea…
“BEHOLD THE ERITREANS, NOT THE WARTREANS”
“Did Eritrea’s public pronouncement that Ethiopia just lunched an attack against it around Tsorena area on 26 December 2007 came as a surprise to you? It should not. I already named the country north of Ethiopia-Wartrea. This government of Wartrea had for several months been crying foul that Ethiopia is to launch an attack. Its Diaspora support network, Hizbi Mekete is revived within Wartrea and abroad trying to rally the ever diminishing number of the regime’s supporters. So in effect an old message is repackaged and is being sent out to Wartreans that Ethiopia is conspiring with the US and others to wipe out the Wartrean government and its institutions. US’s threat to enlist Wartrea as a terrorist state is a part of such evil stratagem, say Wartrea officials. Wartrea opposition websites are awash with theories about how the Eritrean regime is manipulating war-talk
So decoding the Tsorena incident should not be a difficult task at all. It is in the system which can only function best in a war zone. The organizers of the Hizbi Mekete badly need war mongering messages. The response of the Diaspora Wartreans to the government call for support had been simply flat. Thus the Wartreans government’s propaganda mill started producing heaps of lies to agitate them. But Eritreans ( silent majority) should know better. In the past, they have shown to the world that they can fight injustices and win their freedom. Now their freedom is being taken away by very few individuals whom power had corrupted absolutely. Their brothers and sisters are in continuous military camp malnourished and despondent. They continue to flee their countries in thousands to Ethiopia and Sudan. There are currently 17, 000 Eritrean refugees in Ethiopia alone. Eritrea’s freedom is not threatened by the Ethiopian government. Their enemy is from within. Where are the Eritrean statesmen who envision peace for their people? Where the Eritrean intellectuals who speak hope to their compatriots? Where are Eritrean mothers and fathers who speak wisdom and reconciliation for their sons and daughters? Where are those courageous fighters who have given so much for their freedom? The stillness of their voice is only making the wartreans noisy”. Today Eritreans all over this forum are lecturing about Tigray is not part of Ethiopia and it has build international air port in MEKELE. I wounder what international air line lands in MEKELE? NONE, air port just was rexently upgrated to pavement and gated one to protect it from the moron SHAEBIANS who are training suicide bombers to destroy our economy. Ethiopians are well aware of Eritreans and we are always going to stay guard.

It's hard for you shabians to swallow the truth ,that tigray people had being tested with many past enemies for the last atleast 3000 years. TIGRAY IS ETHIOPIA,ETHIOPIA IS TIGRAY.The people of tigray along with theier brothers sisters in ethiopia stood & defeated many enemies to keep the country indpendent.

Most of you erterans dream is for tigray to betray mother ethiopia ,just like you all had done in the past 150 years.The tigray people struggle aginst derg was purely for equality and justice.I never met one tigray person in my whole life that,that spoke negatively about ethiopia, leave alone independent.In fact the current government is doing more in other regions that were back ward states by the past regims.For me the deveolpment of any part of ethiopia is a blessing,as long as all ethiopians benefit out of it.

Cowards shbian like you are still singing the old songs trying to divide and spread hatred against the great ethiopian people.Unlike you bandas that betrayed ethiopia with every past and current enemies ,tigray people were dying by millions to protect ethiopia.They will do so for the future to come wait and see coward.

All ethiopians understand your evil wish,for the tigray people to separte so your long dreams seing ethiopia collapse and destroy.This dreams of you will menefist in your own back yard country called ertera.Let me assure you one thing tigray people will choose to live in poverty, famine,war,then to separte from one of the greatest country called ethiopia.The minute any leaders be it eprdf or any government that call for indpendent of tigray will be thier last day of office.

Just to remind you the air port in mekele is called after your master name RAS ALULA that is facing forward to your small vilage.God bless ethiopia and her beautiful people.

some of you guys never been home for the last 20 odd years, the ethiopia you knew has been changing big time, in Addis many small businesses owned by somalis, im not talking about Ogadenians, im talking about immigrants from cities and towns of somalia like Mogadishu, kismayo, Bossaso. the children of somali immigrants especially those under 25 age, you would not know if they are from somalia, they speak amharic more than you and me, even many speak oromo. in 100 years maybe we will have a president ruling the whole of horn of africa under one government, lol.. i won't be around.

Aug 10, 2006 (ASMARA) — Brig. General Kemal Gelchi, the Ethiopian general who joined the opposition Oromo Liberation front, said today he decided to abandon the regime to continue the struggle against Prime Minister Meles Zenawi party from a political force that would respect Ethiopians rights.


Gen. Kemal GelchiIn an interview with Eritrean -TV Thursday night, Gen Gelchi who arrived in Eritrea along with hundreds of Ethiopian soldiers opposing the Ethiopian government, stated that their arrival in Eritrea is in continuation to the popular uprising by the entire Ethiopian people and members of the armed forces in a bid to ensure respect to the rule of law in the country.

He pointed out that the Ethiopian soldiers’ struggle through a peaceful means is to bring to an end the atrocities committed against the Ethiopian people by the Tigray People’s Liberation Front “(TPLF) regime” was responded with a deaf ear.

The TPLF is dominant party in the ruling coalition EPRDF in Addis Ababa.

He stated that the TPLF regime has kept hostage the Ethiopian people’s struggle to its minor interest, and is working to ensure the domination of political, economic and military domains by minority groups. General Kemal Gelchi noted that the regime that was defeated in May 2006 election and the atrocities it committed against the people of Ethiopia is a vivid demonstration of its rejection to hand over its power through peaceful means.

As the struggle they made inside the army has become a failure, Brig. General Kemal explained that they have decided to abandon the regime and join the people’s struggle and thereby form an organization that would respect the rights of all Ethiopian nationals.

Furthermore, Brigadier General Kemal said that although the “TPLF regime” is working to ensure its superiority over the entire population of Ethiopia, taking into account the population advantage and natural resource it possesses, the regime considers the Oromo people as a major threat.

Brigadier General Kemal added that the “TPLF regime” has been torturing and suppressing Oromo members of the military who raise questions as regards the rights of the Oromo people.

The General went on to say that their primary objective from the onset was to ensure rights of the Oromo people. In this respect, and as the objective remains in place, Brigadier General Kemal reiterated that they would never see their own people in bound hands while being oppressed by a simple “Junta of a Mafia Mob”.

After noting that their arrival to Eritrea is to intensify their objectives, Brigadier General Kemal called on all Ethiopians to reinforce their struggle to ensure a united and integrated Ethiopia as all Ethiopian nationals have paid their lives for the same cause.

In a Press release, the Oromo Liberation Front said “General Kemal Gelchu and Colonel Abebe have joined the Oromo liberation struggle along with full military armaments under their controls

Tigray for Democracy and Justice Party (TDJP) is a mainly Tigray based political party struggling against the TPLF government of Ethiopia. Particularly after the end of the Ethiopian 2005 elections, TDJP decided to scale up its work to bring real democracy to the people of Ethiopia. TDJP believes in the respect for human rights, justice and democracy. It believes that all Ethiopians should have their voices heard and that the one party state should end.

Belaragu

Socially, people of Horn of Africa intermingle with each other because they live in one region and belong to each other. We have many Ethiopians of every ethnic group in Ethiopia in Somalia. If you have AMharic Speaking Somalis, we have Somali speaking Ethiopians of every age and ethnic background.

However, politically we are not. The reason is the expansionist agenda of Abyssinia, mainly, Tigray now and Amhara before, ethnic groups of Ethiopia.

I am Horn of African nationalist and I believe in competitive and co-operating Horn of Africa that gets the respect it deserves in the world, instead of being the basket case of international donors when living on the rich and strategic region.

The only way this can be achieved is to give each nationality in the region that is fighting for sovereignty its sovereignty. When every nationality in the Horn gets its state, then we can make a great confederation or establish economic and security co-operation between the nations of the Horn and become a force to recon with.

But my friend, when you talk about unity when you have countless rebels in Ethiopia that are fighting for liberation, you are in denial and its that denial which is the source of the problem in Africa in large and the Horn in particular.

Look what is happening in Kenya, they talk about democracy and tribes are fighting for control. Everywhere in Africa is the same. In denial!

Thanks god, we Somalis get rid of the BS and facing the challenge of finding a genuine Somali state, which is why the west hates US because if we succeed, we enlighten Africa and other post colonial states in the world. The road is rough and dangerous but surely we reach our destination due time.

Until we become nations that respect each other instead of fighting for dominance, we will never unite and live peacefully with each other.

People like you are what make the continent of Africa war ridden and poor.

What makes you think Somalis in Djibouti, Western Somalis known as Ogaden, North Eastern Kenya of NFD and Somalia are different when they share Ethnicity, Language, Religion, Economy, Land and many other things?

Aha, you recognize the fake border lines Europeans sketched to harm Somalis in the region because they stood up to them!

You are same as the warlords in Somalia, Riyale, Adde Muse, M. Dhere, Abdullahi Yusuf, Ghedi and others who take advantage of the tribal crises in the country and serve the interest of MELEZ.

I think Melez government pays you some salary and you promoting their agenda of disintegrating Somalis.

My friend the times for the likes of you to have influence over other Somalis is over. Somalis are coming back as one in a big way and if you try stop in front of this wave of UNITED SOMALIS, you will be crushed. Be careful with the SLAVE mentality you are expressing in this forum if you are a SOMALI, which I doubt you are.

Peace to Horn

SOMALI REALIST (shabia),,,,,stop using somali name to score your shabian interests.Somalis had sufferd to long for a coward like you to use them for a small advantage against thier first neighbor.Leave the somali people alone,most of them want to bring peace, security & unity among them self.Try to speak about your erteran people ,that are living under slavery.Atleast the somalis in addis have become part of the society.And ethiopia is glad to have most of them as part of the nation.

Somali radical Islamist leader with hundreds of heavily fighters are reportedly to have been seen in an area near Baidoa city, the provincial capital of Bay region, in a bid to launch attacks on the positions of the Somali’s government and Ethiopian forces in the region, witnesses said on Sunday.

Sheikh Mukhtar Robow commonly known as ‘Abu-Mansor’ the spokesperson for the Young Islamic Movement (Al-Shabab) leading a large number of infantry fighters have stationed in the former Labatan-Jirow military camp, 20km north of Baidoa.

Residents near to the camp confirmed the presence of the Islamic fighters and are preparing for ambush attacks against the government and its Ethiopian ally.

The government officials in Baidoa who received the information of the repel insurgent movement sent police forces to the area where fighting is feared to be erupted.

The news on the presence of the Islamists in the region emphasis the earlier claim by Islamist leader saying that he was in somewhere in Bakol region for regrouping and then launching attacks on the forces of the government and Ethiopia.

The insurgency attacks targeting on the allied forces have been increasing over the past weeks as Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia was the worst hit area and infested by the Islamic militants who are waging Iraqi style attacks including roadside and car bombings some times face to face gun battles with the Ethiopian backed government troops.

Somali realist,

You are very ambitious than a realist. The very nature of the fabric of your society wouldn't allow you to form a peacful village let alone one somalia.

You people, unlike people in any other country, are divided by clan/ family and how an earth do you expect there will be a country called Somalia? My poor friend, I haven't heard in the history of civilization that a peacful country run by hundreds of fundamental clan leaders. The fact is, there will always be conflict of interests and Somalis are the worest when it comes to that and wouldn't mind to savagely kill their own family members.

My poor friend, just be realistic for a fraction of second and study your people rather than a history book written by a white man. A 10yr -14years old boys armed to the teeth have been fighting in the streets of Moqadisho for years for no apparent reason instead of going to school. You yourself created your own problems and led yourself to abyss so please don't put Ethiopia or anybody accountable for your misery.

I would be very happy to see a peaceful united Somali in Africa as you helplessly put it since this means stability to my country, to the world and cold bed to terrorists.

Why would anyone want to help those who do not want the help?
We are good. The withdrawal must be nation wide. We must leave Somali to the Somals and move north to liberate our poor brothers and sisters in Eritrea.
By doing so, we also stop OLF and anyother separatist groups. The Ethiopian UNION must be rewritten even if in blood. Nothing comes without sacrifice. For lasting peace in the East of Africa, the rouge regime of Eritrea must be destroyed.
Peace to all except Shabea.

Just for laughs, instead of name calling do you diaspora pundits tell me who is the most eligible guy, in your mind, to lead Ethiopia to peace and prosperity. And what critical issues have to be solved to achieve that
