Somaliland has for the longest time tried to be Ethiopia's best friend. Meles being the devil he is never showed a shred of interest but now that they can assist him with capturing Ethiopians he is cooperating with them. Instead of invading Somalia, he could've given recognition to Somaliland for the simple reason of creating peace, and calming down ONLF advocates or better yet; federated it with Ethiopia as they weren't aliens to the idea (they've actually been Ethiopians once upon a time) but as it's evidenced by his act of evil and treachery, that naturally is against his own interest which is dismantling our nation not building it. It is a group of people craving to connect with a lost sense of identity and enduring a strong need to feel included but denied by the international community including Ethiopia under Meles. One doesn't have to be well versed with international (or regional politics for that matter) politics to see that people who voted Kosovo out of Serbia, Eritrea out of Ethiopia, Southern Sudan out of Sudan...are acting very differently when it comes to Somaliland. I wonder what the reason is? Unless he give them something real, in contrast of the cross border trade deal he signed to use their port, in return is is a very stupid move on their part to deport Ethiopians so that the monster lays his venomous hands on them.

I hope Washington will follow the footsteps of Somaliland.

not good to be in exile, expelled neither. If they are criminals possible but political exile should not handed back. they have right to escape & go anywhere if r wanted by opponents. is my thoughts/suggestioin!

What a Shame ,even a teeny state as Somaliland do not respect the Ethiopians .Who 's to blame .The answer is more than ever simple the "Crime Minister and his agazis"surviving on the "Misery" of the poor Ethiopian peoples ,whom they are looting days and nights !!!!

IT IS SHEME FOR SOMALI LAND TO DO SO. THE DAY OF WEYANE OUT OF ALL ETHIOPIAN MIND IS VERY NEAR. KE KI KIK KI... WEYANE

Meles probably promised them 20 years of free khat supply, chunk of Jijiga and as many free stalls as possible in Merkato Somali tera in return to these alleged OLF members

On a serious note, unless they are convicted criminals who actually committed crime and absconded, it is against international Law (Human rights/Refugee act) to deport them back.

Silanyo,

Remember there are over 30 million Oromos in Ethiopia. There are over twenty million people in my province Shewa alone (twice as in the entire Somalia), you are utterly stupid in doing this. Do not only look at your current temporary interest, rather the long term retaliation and revenge that will be waiting for you.

This is what one wise lady sang during the Italian occupation, get a translator and try to chew on it.

Arkuyem (Italian) yehede ena
Lirewum (Italian money) yalekke ena
Yastezazebenal Yehae kken yalfena

Live the Oromo alone, you have been warned.

TEDDY,

How can the Somalis respect you (Kinijit/Ginbot 7) when you are begging them day and night to deliver you to Arat Kilo)

To: wepE

I am a Somalilander living in Hargeisa. I assure that we have first hand experience in government persecution and that we do not wish it on anyone including out Ethiopian neighbors. As a member of the public i am aware only of the government's expulsion of illegal Ethiopian immigrants who do not have any documents. I have personally never heard of any political exiles being returned to Ethiopia.

Another fact i want to correct you on is that Somaliland was NEVER a part of Ethiopia and we would NEVER accept to be a part of Ethiopia. With all due respect to you as our neighbors that is how we feel. Personally i would rather we reunite with Somalia than join Ethiopia.

that is great news all Ethiopians should work and grow their respected country and that is un necessary to hide beside terrorists to disturb our mother land Ethiopia, no way to stand with ALSHABAB they must come and work here with us

Mohammed: Not that I agree with you thanks for the correction. ከ ባለበቱ ያወቀ ቡዳ ነው is an Ethiopian saying. Meaning he who knows more than owner/resident is psychic (very rough but that's the best can do). Unless you also suggest Somalians are new comers to that place you're mistaken in assuming that Somaliland was not part of Ethiopia, just because our sovereign Imperial territory has shrunk beyond recognition doesn't mean history has to be distorted. Have you wondered what the word Hargeisa comes from? Check out the root meaning of the word 'Hargeisa'. And if you already know tell me what language it is or at least its meaning. Ethnic Somalis have more commonalities with some Ethiopian tribes than with Somali Bantus.

It's saddens me to read your "illegal Ethiopian immigrants who do not have any documents" Almost hilariously ironical, if it wasn't for the grave consequence your actions would result in the future. What documents are you talking about? Your gov't have none according to the world, Hello!? does it not sound crazy or illogical to you? And you're not only expelling 'illegal' immigrants but Ethiopians who are hunted by meles.

As for your last piece: It only reflects your opinion and all I've to say is; me no buy it. That's not a sentiment you share with your kins. The curse word southern Somalis throw at you is not only seccesionist. It would do you good to realize the very fact of us having more commonalities than differences. For the sake of it, let me ask you: why you said *NEVER*?

I had respect for Somaliland until now but it looks like they are the same horrible as hitler.After all they are bandits who are triying to split themselves from great somali government by the help of Ethiopian Government.No one normal country can extradict people who took refuge to them besides those ethiopians are going back to die the world must fight
for human rights and somalia must be one country no somliland as like there is only one ethiopia

There will soon be no hiding place for those anti ethiopian forces who are hiding in our neighbouring countries.

The only hiding place now is Eritrea, let our enemies stay there so as we will obliterate them with their shaebiya masters.

welldone ethiopia

@ Mohamed,
I do respect your free choice. As far as the country sovereign SOMALIA mean a lot to each and every Somali (with same language and same religion) why not get united and work together.
If all Somalis come together and
If all Ethiopians come together and
If all Eritreans come together to solve our insider problems civilisedly and peacefully, NO any outsider has a say among us. Lets make it lets own our destiny. And when we all have our insider problems solved, there will be no any place BETTER than the horn of Africa.
We can all cooperate in education, business, manpower and our seaports.
We can all grow together and only the best time will be ours and our childrens future.
Lets GROW-UP and work hard to be ONE PEOPLE ! UNITY is STRENGTH!!

THE BEST OF LUCK TO OUR NEIBOURS
SOMALIANS (inclusive all somalis)

THE BEST OF LUCK TO OUR NEIBOURS
ETHIOPIANS

THE BEST OF LUCK TO MY PEOPLE
ERITREANS !!!!

Friendly invitation

Now we are the same ship and shall sink at same time

I realy stand with somaliland administration for this case. none of the ethiopian have ever cried when they were expelling and handing over our refugees to Weyane while we share every thing.my question is why they should let Habashas with their high number of HIV AIDS and ALcohol and expel their teachers. by the way we thought them islam the praise was hand over to woyane.

yirgachefe,
sorry to blow up your little bubble, but there are no Kinkit/ginbot7 members in in somaliland. The only people there are OLF and ONLF members.

Amhara princess,
True what you said. I can't believe somalilanders are so dumb. You can't make a deal with the devil! Case in point: Eritrea. These guys (A*%*#s) are traitors by nature.

Mohammad,
I hope the rest of you countrymen feel the same way cuz we have no intention of gaining terrorists.

I wanted to speak in more political way but it will not suffice you. let me tell you the truth: somalis are brothers and will never let any part of their land to any invader. Ethiopia is my nightmare and sooner or later will liberate the suppressed somalis and oromo people.

Wepe

Yematgebabet yelehem. First we say no to your akrari coptic view on that country. If you really worry about Ethiopia go and liberate Eritrea you coward. Somali land was not part of Ethiopia. Ethiopia was part of Somali Land on the other hand under Gragn Ahmed. Don't try to divide Somalis. Eventhough they fight it is not a permanent hate.

As to Meles he is trying to lure China to use the pipe line in Somali land for Ogaden oil. Sad but true both Meles and Somali leaders met inChina for this deal.


ONLF will not buy this conspiracy.

Free Ethiopia from Amara parasites especially from coptic Amaras.

By the way Wepe remove that slogan "Egziabhaer Ethiopian tebekat"

Why Mr Silanyo you are repelling the Oromos and not the ONLF shufta? eh! May be its the Alzheimer deices! to tell you a bit about the Silanyo quick back ground history.

First that Silanyo,never had good deeds in his live.Neither for old former government of Somalia nor for the current separatist Somal Land.Silanyo worked for Siyad bare regime for more than ten years as minister of financing then he betrayed his boss and became a triblist who chosen to join Isack clan.Before he became a defector he stolen a huge cash from the public and joined SNM.Again he betrayed the SNM so He never been a trustful person.Later on,Silanyo caused conflict and trebles among SNM leaders so they kicked him out rather than spreading his clannish thought which later caused the BURO war between HIS tribe And TUUR subtribe,the Haber Yoonis.
Even Mengestu haile mariam kicked him out from Ethiopia,so he was lived exile in UK. I believed there is no No Isack clan or people liked him Silanyo.That's why the people disliked him and didn't allowed Mr Silanyo to lead Somali Land since then he caused them a tribal war which caused them to lose many lives between two Isac sub clan tribes.

Thus,the people of Hargeysa(Issac) they rather preferred to lead them Mr Riyale,the man who worked to the last minutes Siyad bare regime as an intelligent secret services.The Isack clan knows very well the man and now he is getting an older(over 75 years old) the people were saying the man really don't know of what he is doing and some of that his rival oppositions like Mr Faisal Ali warabe,have put in Q? mark his brain memory and said that Mr Silanyo might have an Alzheimer,a deices that kills the brain parts(memo part) in which his rivals publicly raised the health of Silanyo and said that he has mental disorders.And that Silanyo rival and oppsitions,they mean it though that when oppositions Questioned about his mental health issue and because that such serous accusation to someone health simply for your political gains it can't be that easier to dare a good politician person uless and no one isto gaine fort falsified easy propaganda to someones .Because,such false propaganda it fires back so if you are good politician you don't need playing on fire.of course,playing a cheap propaganda it hurts your reputation poly careers and not effecting your rival opponents.

Thus, if you that listen the recently released speech of Mr Silanyo,you really becoming in doubt about the Silanyo's brain functioning.

First of all,at 2 O'clock,where all the city(Hargeysa) dwellers in deep sleep,he called his local media people to come in his residential place to record his briefing news.And secondly,listening Mr Silanyo whole speech released at that strange time,was in fact full of inappropriate and undiplomatic statement.It was all about a cheap and a personal insults directly to his opponents in Hargeysa and that a respond to Somalia TNG president Siekh Sherif whose was simply questioned about the legitimacy of Somali land's one tribe wish separations while other Somaliland tribes never agreed or even never asked if they really seriously willing to separate from the rest of Somalia.Well Silanyos response to the Sharif was in fact a laughably and a childish kind.He sounds a bully teenager boy who is belittling another teenager boy who is in defeat position.He said to the sharif through the media "that shrif who camped in side Mogadishu not misunderstood our delegates sent for them to deliver our donated money for the needy Somali ppl in Mogadishu.We are not part of Somalia like puntiland and going to Mogadishu it doesn't bringing Somali land under Sharif control or a part of Somalia...etc"

In opinion views,its kind of foolish statement or a poor politician.In fact,Silanyo didn't gave it the right answer it seeks the question that raised Seikh Shrif for the Somali landers which in fact it is a serious question and a dividing Somali lander tribes which ultimately it's blocking their desires to separate from the rest Somalia.That's why I agreed with those who raised the Silayo's brain not functioning well.And that having been listening his last recorded speeches I really agree something is wrong with this man.I believe the man has a mental disorder issues.

Coming back to the topic,also let me relate the core issue with Silanyo health problem and that the info I have is that in recently Hargeysa signed a security cooperation with our Jigjiga local authority.The deal was any suspected ONLF members you either catch and delver or to call the Jigjiga police otherwise be expected a preemptive strike and to do that is our security obligation.Silayo,agreed with that but he either playing game with Ogadenis and rebelling descent Ormos rather than the Ogaden shufta sent Shabia though his long coastal offshore like he did last time at Siylac port also called Lughayo,a local and fishermen uses port.Which then,landed a shabia boat that carrying about 240 ONLF rebel members.Of course,Silanyo's corrupted government made their all connections,although later on Hargeysa deny the allegations while they argued they didn't have the ability to control all the coastal beaches.Well,isn't that ironically contradicting to their claim of standing alone as sovereign states! a people who says we can't control our borders.Therefore,either that Mr Silayo still playing foolish game with us and recklessly repelling other Ethiopians who are peacefully works and lives in all Somalia's bigger cities and instaed,not repelling those ONLF Members.Which of course we asked them they either to report Ethiopian counsel in Hargeysa or just to give us a call in Jigjiga(liu police ) who knows better how to handle the shufta.ONLF shifta poorly trained by shabiya in Mosowac comps, we know they coming through Hargeysa and warned Silanyo not to play on fire.We did not say the Oromos but we say catch or kill them any Ogaden rebel intrude into your country.next time,wE are not tolerating for Hargeyssa.You understand Mr Silayo, unless that you have a serious mental problem (Alzheimer)in your brain and that not holding any poured waters....your brain functioning in opposite and the reverse side.Why Mr Silanyo you are repelling the Oromos and not the ONLF shufta? eh! May be its the Alzheimer deices!who knows!

Hey Tchiffenee ,you ignorant moron bandas are really unshamed liers .For
your information 60% of these refugees are from your own region Tigrai and Eritrea .As those actually blocked in Libya after the fall of
Muhammar Gadhaffi .Certainly not G7 or knijit members .Secondly I would like to refresh your alzheimer affected memories that your leba master along his shabyan tween bros with the most agazi officials were Somali diplomatic Passport Holders . NEED MORE INFORMATION !!!!!

I think is clear for all oromos time for us as a people to stand up and fight the racist Moppet of Melez Zenawi . Zenawi is the one killing our people day and night. Revolution must start in Ethiopia just like it happended in Egypt and Tunisia.

Schizoid gringo: Sometimes it's as if you're talking to yourself, have you by any chance mistaken me for Grannnggg? No Gragn you're not talking to yourself but an entirely DIFFERENT person, with a mind ALSO contained in a DIFFERENT body, alrightttt? Now that we cleared that, I find a lot of nazrets articles interesting. It seems you're everywhere too, difference is you read every topic as "Somali mote Islam mote, Arab mote Amhara and Copt gedele". You're right I needed to refresh my ending so thanks for the advice;-)

Better? I thought so...

Gragn Achmed
Hi Achemd the dead terrorist you still out there ? how do you survive the US drone?... next time they target you i will make your they cremate you properly.

hey Wepe, this is by no means another starter for a lengthy back and forth :d , but i couldn't help noticing the same question u have raised last time, which is, "why the world at large and Ethiopia in particular refused to recognize Somaliland's independence?". Every country and group has its own reason, of course. For the west, Somalia is not the Balkan and Somalia is not a neighbor for USSR or China or one of the oil rich countries' in middle east. eritrea's so called independence wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for the support of cia, its handlers and friends in weakening and ultimately destroying Ethiopia's central government that was a friend of the east. Today, the absence of ideological driven major division in the world has made it unfavorable for the success of separatist groups. Of course, the story would have been different if Somaliland was a resource rich region of Somalia, but that is not the case, at least for now, and the west has no appetite or interest to listen and approve their/somalilanders' desire for independence. On top of that, there is no the usual horrific story, truthful or fabricated, by a central government against one particular group or region that are usually critical to buy the sympathy of different people around the world. There is no central government to accuse of human right violations and systematic discrimination and killings. They might have succeeded if dictator Said Barre was still on power though. Of course, there could be other reasons i simplly failed to grasp at the moment, but all in all, the Somalilanders' have failed selling their cause and the world has no reason to listen them so far. As of why Meles led Ethiopia refused to recognize Somaliland, well it is like the saying "he who lives in a glass house....". Ethiopia should continue her friendship with Somaliland, but should never be the first to recognize its independence when we have our own separatist groups stationed at home and somewhere in our former province artera. After we successfully solve our own problem, recognizing Somaliland as a full fledged independent country might be in our best interest, but right now the best we can do is making sure the independence proponents in Hargiesa maintain their hopes high and not abandon their Ethiopia friendly cause, which is dividing somalia. Integrating their economy with our own, giving the political leaders a state man's treatment, keep promising recognition, hearing their voice on the issue of the larger somalia and so on are the best we can do at this moment. Other than that, giving official recognition for them is not a wise political move. After all, if our recognition isn't going to make a difference in securing Somaliland's independence from the powerful states, UN and African Union, why should we dive into devaluing our call and risk our reputation and political capital at domestic, continental and global levels? We should play our cards wisely, and for all his shortcomings i think meles is doing this right.

@Free
Meles has NEVER and EVER played his cards right. You people are good on twisting matters.

It is cristal clear that Ethiopia played role on disintegrating Somalis. Meles backed Somaliland and even came into war defending Somaliland's interest against the rest of Somalis. It is Woyane who namecalled groups and entered their territory to kill and torture them just like the people of Ogaden and the scar will always remain there.

The crises of famine and disintegration of Somalis has its cause.

But Somalis has all the right to solve their insider problem without any outsider intervention.

Nobody can deny that Eritrea stands for ONE and UNITED Somalia and insisted for many years. This has forced Eritrea to leave the IGAD as protest.

actually we want to clean ethiopians from the streets of hargaisa and all over somaliland there are so many ethiopians in our country the people of somaliland got fed up because ethiopia has more populations then all the ethnic somalis together let alone tiny somaliland that's the reason behind it not that we have something against ethiopia or our brothers oromo we just dont want our tiny country to be over run by ethiopians.....to the person who wrote somaliland to join ethiopia any somalilander would rather die then joining ethiopia why dont we just join our dear brothers down south

Dear Free: You misunderstood me, it was a rhetorical question. I agree with most of what you said here but we are still on different pages as to why the silence of the west is deafening. I've no firm stand when it comes to the independence of Somaliland. It was just a line of reasoning and for comparison purpose (as to how Meles could've acted differently by recognizing Somaliland instead of invading Somalia) I brought it up here. (btw talking about invasion before the war broke out the US was backing the same warlords that dragged the dead body of US Soldiers in black hawk, the world is REALLY funny place). To tell you the truth I'd prefer to see a unified and strong Somalia but my intent goes beyond that and it includes south and west Sudan. We should save that for another day but while at it I may add one thing. My whole life I've heard the word "Darfur" practically on a daily basis and I was thinking FINALLY! when I heard that Bashir (Meles's twin) 'agreed' to let southern Sudan go. Guess my surprise when I found out that he's still spilling Darfurians blood and nobody cares to mention it. I've a friend's thesis on the issue if you are interested about what the west's true intentions are for us in the horn and part of Sudan let me know. Do you think ideology, strategical position or resources had any say when they Serbia gave birth to a village called Kosovo?

Some weeks ago some guy made a sender on metro about politics (it was a quote so I'm not even sure if it was his own but anyways) he said, roughly translated, 'it is the art of enriching yourself at the expense of others while making it look like you're doing it for the common good'. How right he was about one side the coin of world politics. Well seems like one thing has a different meaning in my head, Sorry;-)

people need to understand MELEZ the prime minster of ethopia is behind this, and there are many ethopian leaving in somaliland now,they have business and everything but they have papers they're legal imigrant, this is somaliland so respect their law

Oh! some of you here or there in Addis,else,please don't worry about the Ogaden oil/gas pipeline where & which port to be exporting for shipment out sales in the future.But in case that you are thinking the port of Berbera or any other Isaac ports in these days that are hearing,definitely that is not the best options to be choosing for.And that be advices to those federal officials who may involve in Ogaden oil/gas found industry and might have thoughts made contacts with the Somalilander(Isaac clan)and who declared themselves a government and wants to reach future deals of the Ogaden oil export shipment through their ports like(Berbera..etc).Let me tell you in advance that,as a Somali-Ogadenis,its not a good ideal the use of any Issac sea ports and we would never having in our mind that any Ogaden Oil and natural Gas produced in the futures would be exporting through the Isaac sea ports and their ports always will be the last resource options and there is tangle evidence and reason for saying that.Because,to make a business deal with selfish Isaac tribes never maturing and stands on their words.WE know better and this clan never had been a reliable people and historically any agreement made with them result was a failure. Therefore,the Somali land(Isac)ports would be always remaining the least and the last options that we might think for.And,the ports that we have in minds (in our top list),the first options will be the following A) Djibouti port b)Bosasso port,Puntiland C)the Hobyo port,Gal-Mudug Land and finally if there is a peace settlement reached with Eritrea,of course the Assab port would have the periotiy.
Also,there are other options that it would be available before the Issaq port of Berbera,which that it will takes a long way and costing us hefty amounts to ship out our oils in to overseas but truly more reliable and secure than Hargeysa short distance ports and of course these ports are either to go through Mombasa Kenya or through Sudan-port Seid.Its better way to rather rather than dealing with ISaak clannish unsecured and a self claiming govern called So-landers.Of course,these Issac people we had been neighboring since that God created in the Horn and made us Allah a two different Somali tribe so we had the all kinds of trades and business deals,thus they never had kept their promising deals and of course they have been remained as wicked ppl,unreliable,untrustworthy clannish mentality people.

Therefore my dear Ethiopian official,in terms of such kind volatile sensitive(Oil/gas)long term businesses,which requiring huge amount of dollars to be investing I wouldn't recommending to you risk with Isaac(ports)to reach fragile deals since that you can't relaying on with any serious business deals that you have agreed and signed with these clannish mentality people of Issak.No matter how seriously they acts,tomorrow they are different.
Thus,in case of some of you government officials who might having in mind with Somali land ports to ship out our oil&gas for abroad selling,please be advised to console with matter through Jigjiga local regional officials before you take any steps to reach deals with Hargeysa.Because,local Jigjiga peoples well informed situations and better equipped for local tradition circumstance than your federal highlander expert officials.

Never underestimate those local advisory peoples and make quick and rush agreement,it mightn't surviving that long that any deals signed and reached without the consent of the local people.

Just want to make CLEAR those people that been expelled were mostly beggers that occupied streets in Hargeisa. There were families circling in the city with at least 4-5 kids begging from right to left. When I question how this is happenned...one of the locals told me "these are not their children, they rented them from their parents to beg,and they have to pay monthly rent using them". And he added that they're getting more money than if they work as a watchman. So, Oromas and the others from Ethiopia were in Somaliland to take advantage of somalilanders that are known to help and give much to poor people.

hahahahh Mr Jama,soon we clean up too all your women from our hotels! sorry I don't want to say but you keep knocking loud the door.
