And at the other end of this fine republic, I wonder if these poor Somalis care about this silly stunt. Surely, the old man can school us about this recurring tragedy.

Common sense? If there was any common sense, an unprovoked attack on custom check point would haven't been issued. Lives and properties lost over political stunt. Somaliland's resolve? Come on, we are Somalis. These Lalala lands are tribal enclaves. Any war between them will be tribal in nature.Tribal warfare is no one's interest. One would have hoped 30 yrs of wars would have sunk in this simple fact into people's minds.

Yes, we should acknowledge and respect all legally recognized borders Hence we should give the old man a map of Somalia Now, those who want to redraw these borders are the ones wanting to start a conflict

Why drag this old poor soul in front of the camera? Schooling involves imparting some new knowledge onto others, the old man did no such thing, just recycled stuff which brings me back to my question, why drag this old man in front of camera?. He gave him his tusbax and shaax.

Egyptians stabbed the Palestinians in the back, time for them to get screwed as well.

It would seem to me the Ethiopian Federal Government and federal forces are either losing control or letting Somalis get killed in order to further inflame this conflict. If the Federal Government fully knows and understands the insincerity of the Oromo government/forces in protecting Somalis, then the Federal Government should move in and impose a direct control. Or otherwise, this has became a case of Somali "Federal" states thumping their noses at the central government, in which case, this would essentially mean Addis has lost control over the periphery.

Jawar seems to be losing it. I want to know why the federal government is not protecting Somalis or relocating them to the Somali region. The troops seem to be intentionally setting up Somali civilians to be killed.

Garad Wiilwaal on Somali killings. It seems the federal troops are setting up the situation and Oromo militias are moving in for the kill.

Minister Beyle in Qatar Wasiirka Maaliyadda Xukuumadda Federaalka Soomaaliya, Mudane C/raxmaan Ducaalle Beyle iyo wafdi uu hoggaaminayo oo ku sugan Magaaladda Doha, ayaa la  kulmay Wasiirka Wasaaradda Maaliyadda ee dalkaasi, Mudane Cali Shariif Al-Emadi, iyaggoo ka wada hadlay arrimo badan oo ay ka mid yihiin xiriirka ka dhaxeeya labada dhinac.

Ethiopia didn't release anyone.

It's easy to start a conflict when it is not your people that are being displaced or your property being destroyed.

I bet she could beat up Alpha.

The girl in the middle is cute; she know it too

Holac, it's funny-God bless our people.

It's not Friday but how are you, Blue? What have you been up to? It's cold statewide.

I would have liked Minister Beyle but good luck to Abdusalam.
