Xaaji Xundjuf That is only if Somalia respects Somaliland independence, otherwise there is no any shared long term interests. Stop thinking too local and think about how you can benefit from relations with other nations in order to have Somalia put in its place forever if it ever tries to get out of line, Somalia can be an enemy while some other country can have some similar interests in line with you. I am not saying Ethiopia is a friend, however there is some shared interests such as no union between Somaliland and Somalia.

Better be honest than hide behind fake Somalinimo and the blue flag like some folks and the next day invite Kenya for lunch in Jubbaland or waving pictures of Uhuru Kenyatta in Taleex. No one is falling for your fake crocodile tears. Take it to where the sun doesn't shine, I am a Somaliland nationalist firstmost political wise.

Listen Al shababi boy, I couldn't care less about the other Somali people, they were destroying their nation for 22 years after attacking the Somaliland people and their lands between 1981-1991, we are already enemies. Somalia is not a friend of Somaliland.

Anything can happen in the future, so it is good to have some countries in the region that are in some ways in line with your interests. There is no thing as a "Somali" people in the political context. Every group have their own interests at least in south Somalia, you see Jubbaland is backed by Kenya. Mogadishu is backed by Uganda- Burundi troops. So who are you trying to hoodwink with this all sudden "Somalinimo" cries? Did you forgot it was the so called other Somali people themselves that did most of the damage to the Somaliland people and their nation. A strong Somalia is more of a threat to Somaliland than a strong Ethiopia, since Soomalia claims our territories on paper and insists on unity even though they were told to go away.

D/P.

You are the one who is deluding himself. Somaliland's interest is not being united with Somalia, any other countries that support that shouldn't be attacked for simply being in line with the wishes of Somaliland people. The countries that we shall attack more verbally is the deluded Egypt that wants a united Somalia at the expense of Somaliland people so it can harass Ethiopia and engage in proxy wars. I am sorry, we are not going to be human canon for Arab proxy wars in Africa, maybe Zoomalia is happy with that role.

Shared interest, in terms of that political bullet point. It does not mean inviting their troops or something of that sort like the shameless Somalia. They stay in their border, and I stay in mine as a respectable sovergein democratic state, Somaliland security forces are capable of safeguarding their nation against the enemy. If they the Ethiopians don't want to see a union between Somaliland and Somalia, there is no reason for me to go in gun blazing since I am not interested in a union with Somalia to begin with anyway.

Put your your money where your mouth is, for a person that hails from the shameless Somalia, you talk too much nonsense. Why do you think I said Ethiopians don't want to see a United Somalia? Of course I am aware in general that is because of their animosity and interests they hold. Nevertheless the interest of Somaliland is also not uniting with Somalia. In that regard it is a shared interest. Plus I am not Xaaju Xundjuf, I am my own person. I don't believe in "Somaliweyn" interest, it is not something that exists. My motto is Somaliland comes first.

What traitor? Somaliland does not invite Ethiopian troops to its land, we don't need them , we are very capable of keeping our security under control. I can't say the same for Zoomalia. Zoomalia (where you hail from) is a servant state where from Ethiopians to Afghanis have violated its territory and people for over 22 years, were's Somaliland is an equal state and not to be messed with, thanks to patriotic people like Saalax that have refused UNISOM to be deployed to Somaliland in 1992 unlike south Somalia but rather handled his business as SNM.

Che Is one strange kid. His country of origin Somalia loves Ethiopians so much that they welcomed Ethiopian tanks into their capital Mogadishu back in 2006, they also operate in Beledweyne, Central Somalia, Gedo etc in recent years yet he has to audacity to try to accuse others.

How so I only posted what is posted on their site and the general opinions of the Ethiopian mainstream regarding the statement made by their PM. The Tigray whore is you who welcomed them along with their Ethiopian tanks in Mogadishu 2006 .

But if the Ethiopians are serous they should recognize Somaliland independence. But most of the time they are not sincere because no one needs their protection its much about nothing. The African union guarded government is toothless there is no threat coming from the pirates either. It is all about interests, it is in the legal sense Ethiopia can't make that move yet (they have their own issues with secession inside their borders) among , but it is good that they realize a united Somalia being by the likes of Egypt is Danger to them.

Don't you have some buildings to detonate yourself in Al shabab boy?

Interesting. It seems most mainstream Ethiopians know it is Egypt and some other Arab countries that is pushing for a united Somalia so they can harass Ethiopia , as a result most of them are in favor of Somaliland recognition,

The opinions of the mainstream Ethiopians on this.

Ethiopia can not recognize Somaliland for legal reasons (neighbor) but supporting Somaliland until it achieves its recognition is a great move. We will have one more friend in a hostile region. A friend is never prized nor questioned. We welcome the Prime Minister's wise foreign policy and it will be one that keeps Ethiopia's dominance in the region. If Somaliland returns to Somalia, united Somalia is a formidable rivalry. The West, Arabs and even Turkey wants to restore united Somalia so they can harass Ethiopia. They call this regional balance of powers in their diplomatic language. If we don't support Somaliland in its hour of need then they will not be a friend nor will they allow us any port usage. Somaliland income does not so much depend on port like Djibouti. They can go back to Somalia and diversify their income example petroleum, livestock, etc. berhane;953537 wrote: Here is the main reason: Somaliland provides a dependable buffer to Djibouti from whatever kind of trouble that might arise from any kind of groups or unfriendly countries. Indirectly speaking, Ethiopia will do everything, including force, to defend Djibouti, and the strategy for defending Djibouti starts with Somaliland. And by the way, what is the world waiting for to recognise Somaliland as an independent country? Is the world waiting for bloodshed? Any difference b/n peaceful Somaliland and war ravaged kosovo? Recognition is the answer and I think Ethiopia is going to be the first to do so.

Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn says we will defend Somaliland Tigrai Online May 21, 2013 Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn declared bi-partisan support for Somaliland in the case of military action against the threat from neighboring Somalia and other external militants such as al Shabab.

The Prime Minister delivered the keynote speech this weekend in the Ethiopian Parliament in front of Ethiopian legislators. Mr. Desalegn specified that Ethiopia is ready to provide diplomatic, military, and economic support to Somaliland “should they need it”.“ Somaliland is a friend and a key strategic ally for Ethiopia. We will spare no expense to defend and protect Somaliland.

Sunday, 19 May 2013 08:01 Somaliland: Press release As member of the Swedish parliament, I am delighted to send best wishes to the people of Somaliland as you celebrate your 22nd independence day this May 18. Over the past years, progress has been made toward stability and good governance. Free and fair elections have been held. Since 2000, five national elections were held, judged by international experts as free and fair, which have seen power transferred peacefully. Somaliland is still treated officially by international organizations as an autonomous region of Somalia, but this ignores both history and reality in the ground. Hence it is time for the International Community to recognize Somaliland. Independent Somaliland will contribute peace and stability in a region characterized by war and unrest. On this special day, I extend our warmest wishes to the people of Somaliland.
