I am proud Somali who happened to be born and raised in ******. My friend we Somalis are not so smart to live in peace and stability. We tend to live in clan oriented life. I firmly belive that the focus should be bringing Somalis together for peace and security. When you have assignment, you would prioritize your actions. Can you tell me that what is Somalia’s high priority? Is it Ethiopians presence or peace and stability? As Ogadani, in Ethiopia there are over 82 ethnic groups including Somali and only few ethic groups were privilege to have basic access and it is not only Ogadani problem. To me , my priority is bringing peace and stability. After accomplishing this basic principle, we would have other actions. Without this basic principle, we cannot even discuss other topics. As far as port access to Ethiopia, do you know that Djibouti is a free access to Ethiopia? They pay only service of duty.

Too much unnecessary energy has been wasted, because of our failure. It is our failure and no ones fault, STOP blaming other people, but ourselves. If we keep focusing on unnecessary ‘he say and she say’, nothing could be accomplished. As Somali, how can we bring peace and stability in Somalia should be the focus. But , there seem to be grid and lack of leadership within our community.

What is our main problem? I am sure we all are agree that the Ethiopians presence in Somalia is not for the oil like Iraq or gold , it is very clear that the government has been treated by the radical elements. If you have a terminal ‘Cancer’, would you worry about your ‘Cold’, or would you spend your time energy to treat your ‘Cancer’.? Somalia’s ‘Cancer’ is peace, security and stability. I would encourage the people to concentrate on their high priority. Ethiopians will leave soon after taken care of business. Most people here are missing the whole point, it is all about bringing peace and stability in Somalia, not a person like you who wages war. Let's come together and focus on peace and stability. Your concern is like wasting on your 'Cold' rather than focusing your 'Cancer'. If you don't take care of your 'Cancer' , it will vanish you from this world. On the other hand, 'Cold' can be treated with simple remedies. It is all about smart political calculation, being politically matured, rather than emotion. A strategic decision and well thought action. However, most of us are lack of this skill but driven by patriotic ambitions. Ethiopia is the ONLY country which has accepted Somalia refugees without any proper documentation. Somalians are freely move, rent and do business across the country and nobody bothers them asking any legal paper. Where do you have seen this kind of treatment? The so-called Muslim country Yemen has opened fire on the refuges who are seeking shelter on their boat time, again and again. I was there and had good experience, even better treatment than North America.Ask anybody who have been in Ethiopia in the past. As a muslim we have to do the right thing. This hospitality even mentioned in holy Koran.
