The difference is there are no Somali troops in Kenya. Somalia has no ambition or any intention of interfering in Kenya politics. And Somalis are definitely not killing Kenyan civilians in mass. Xamaasad doesn't solve anything but let's not pretend Oromos are not becoming a threat.

With the way things are going, HoA might become the next Rwanda.

I don't know about that but their success will depend on exclusivity, in other words, swallow your pride and invite ONLF, all clans, etc. Only united political entity can get a better deal; otherwise, it will be some stooge chosen by Addis.

That raises the question how will it be before Oromo and Amhara butt heads?

I wonder what was through the mind of a man when he genuinely believes no one can touch him.

Oodweyne, One would hoped Somalis would at-least be pragmatic. They don't have to like each other, they can even hate each other. It is like they don't think beyond today. I see people salivating over Iley's demise [man is simply evil and sadistic] but I rather to sit down and make a transitional government than have a Oromo in Addis impose a new stooge. It must noted that Abiy hasn't done this to any other region.

The end game is indeed Tigray. The question is what's the role of the West in all of this. Would they force Woyanes to stay at the expense of Tigray Region. Abiy is singing the right notes but time will tell but he is surrounding himself with Oromo hardliners. As we speak, Lamma Margese is in Eritrea negotiating with OLF.

I am talking about now. It's clear some of the things thar have happened or are having now are contrary to their interest.

Abiy or TPLF officers?

HE PM Abiy Ahmed deplores the violence and destruction of property in Jigjiga and Dire Dawa. He expresses his condolences for the tragic loss of lives both in Dire Dawa and Jigjiga. These tragedies and cycle of violence must end. #Ethiopia. https://mobile.twitter.com/fitsumaregaa/status/1026511957699055616

Oodweyne, The central government will try to impose its will on the Somali region, more than any other region. It's very lucrative region that's cut off from the rest of the country. If Ethiopia disintegrates, the Oromo will try to grab as many Somali territories as they can.

Good.

Latest update, Armed Oromo captured Somali villages,

What would you like to do. Kill women, children and old folks.

There has been running battles all days in Diridhabi. Towns in the interior have stopped ENDF from entering the towns.

It really doesn't matter who is in power. Mogadishu can't be tamed as long as certain groups ,in particular, the business cartel are in control,

This is not acceptable!

MMA, Iley is without doubt evil but do you really want to substitute Oromo oppressors to Tigray? We can' get rid off Iley and be free. It doesn't have to be one or the other.

You are ready to embrace new overlords? Whatever happened to Oromo cawaan waaye?
