Meles addressed Ethiopia's relationship with its neighbours, especially Somalia and Eritrea. Regarding the question raised by some parliamentarians that Ethiopia's relationship with Somalia is not quite good at the moment, Meles refuted the allegation and, in fact, reiterated that the country had a good contact with the internationally recognized Transitional Federal Government (TFG) of Somalia based in Baidoa. He said that Ethiopia had no ill-will towards the Somali people as they were brothers and their neighbours. "If there is a bad relationship, it is with the Somali jihadists. Although the jihadists are mainly composed of Somalis, they also have members ranging from Indonesia, Pakistan, and the Arab world including many African countries," Meles said. He told parliament that Ethiopia's relation with these groups can be labled "inamicable" as they had repeatedly declared jihad against Ethiopia. Regarding the presence of Ethiopian soldiers in Somalia, Meles said that these troops were there to help train the fledgling army and police force of the transitional government. "Of course, these trainers being soldiers, they carry arms to protect themselves. Otherwise, there is no combat force," Meles stressed. Meles also explained the circumstances under which Ethiopian military personel entered Somalia. The decision taken by both IGAD and AU to send peacekeepers from neighbouring countries can be taken as a basis, according to Meles. He noted that the government need not to have the endorsement of parliament to send peacekeeping mission abroad. Only when there is a need to enter into war will parliamentary endorsement be needed. Because the jihadists did not take practical step to wage war on Ethiopia, the government refrained from taking military action, Meles explained. But he pointed out that the level of threat from the jihadists is increasing, i.e. the jihadists are amassing their forces along Ethiopia's border. He stressed that if the situation continued to pose an increased threat to Ethiopia's security, the armed forces have the right and duty to defend the country. Despite this, Meles said that that didn't mean that Ethiopia was declaring an open war. He told parliament that he cannot give assurance that Ethiopia won't go to war. With respect to relations with Eritrea, Meles said the Eritrea openly violated the Algiers Agreement by sending troops and tanks into the demilitarized zone. "At this moment, the Transitional Security Zone does not exist in practice as Eritrean military personel backed by tanks moved into the area," he said. Meles accused Eritrea of mocking the UN which requested a pullout by saying that the soldiers entered the demilitarized zone to collect harvest. Meles said that the Ethiopian government had been aware of similar violations, albeit discreetly, before. He noted that Ethiopia was ready to defend itself, and there won't be any more increased military preparation as Ethiopia was always ready to stop any aggression. Meles said that despite the violations of the Algiers Agreement by Eritrea, Ethiopia was ready to peacefully solve the problem. He recalled that the five-point peace proposal, which was offered by Ethiopia in 2004, still stood and the country was ready to pay any sacrifices to reach a peaceful settlement.

Originally posted by Juje: Alamagan sxb horta I did not 'habrtan' first of all, secondly I was mere echoing the scale of his defeat and his unplanned futile agrresion. If I remember you belittled my report and others who claimed his defeat and for crying out loud you insisted the man was still kicking and made gains. Am glad to see the tone of your writing has piped down an more humble now : quote: So, in my humple opinion, the only option open for him now is to stay out of any further clashes with these hell-bent maxakimta and see what happens, anothe option is to go to Baydhabo. Any sensible man will suggest no confrotation with this as you put 'hell-bent' maxakamiin and see what they can do to bring about a change into this country. Yesterday according to how Jenerale Duke was reporting the government troops in a military camp near Baydhabo fought each other fataly over the distribution of 'qaat' that was brought to the camp. Marka kuwan wax maso wadan oo kheyr ah, bal aan aragno Maxakiinta waxy kenan. The sooner they take ovber Bay and the surrounding the better. Cause they will go and wipe the smirk out of Mr.Baro' face and take over WaqooyiGalbeed. Juje sxb, re. that post I didn't like your early, ok lets now say that as your "prediction" the war has just begun and you without hesitation jumped to conclusion sxb. Your post were solely based the first report that you got from the likes of Qaadisya etc. Anway you also used strong words habaar u ekaa. Tan kale honestly speaking Maxkamadaha seems to have something to offer nabdu ha ugu horeyso compared to TFG. So agree with you lets wait and see. Lool @ qaadka la isku dilay. waxaas aa wax difaacaya ayaa la oran hadhooweto. [edit]....

But what the heck, lets support our minister of defence if he is defending the country from Tigreey. Nuune, he is strong anti-ethiopians and I think it would have been good for him to fight against these filthy creatures. Would he do that job, would he resign from MD, would he keep on that track we'll see. Lets wait and see what he gotta say.

^^^ Sow sheekadii MR Red Sea oo kale ma ahan taadu ee ah maxkamadaha waanu la jirnaa inta aaysan annaga nasoo faragashan. Clasical secessionist mind dheh! :rolleyes:

Juuje, adeer it was you who wanted him to be defeated oo initially habaar meesha la fadhiyey beofre the kick-off , you know the man fought and lost the war with the minimum casualties and retrieved with his men. Of course he made mistake when he accepted the (trap) post of MD (nin aan ku furi doonin yuusan kuu rarin), he was wrong to fight without ethiopians or the TFG illee ayaguu ka raacay qolooyinkiisi hore e, the result: he paid the price. So, in my humple opinion, the only option open for him now is to stay out of any further clashes with these hell-bent maxakimta and see what happens, anothe option is to go to Baydhabo. Note that both waring sides (Barre's and large portion of maxkiimta's) are of his poeple the Gedonians. I think (i may be wrong) Gedo people are in favour of Maxaakiimta than to the weak TFG.

^^^ Waxkastaba haddii dagaal maxkamadaha & Itoobiya qarxo shacabka soomaliya waxaa aay si hiil iyo hooba leh u garab istaagayaan maxaakiimta. Itoobiya xal uma hayso Somalia, Cabdullahi Yuusufna waa aay lugoysay waxaase iiga sii daran caqligiisa siiyey inuu weli itoobiya ka dhursugo. Geedi waa u dhamatay waa Amxaar, balse CY waxaa la yiraa waa nin dantiisa u galo ama u mara meel waliba balse this time I am afraid itoobiya ayaa ka ciideenaysa oo waxaa u dhaanta hal mar intuu diyaarad kore XAMAR ka dago. MAxkamaduhu maxay ku suubin lahaayeen oo kale? haddii aay u badato 20 karbaash oo la shaqayn cadow islaam ayeey ku dhufan lahaayeen deedna waxaay u ogolaan laheeyeen inuu inta ka dhiman madaxweynanimadiisa uu sii dhameysto inta uusan ku wareejin Aweys Xagga kale the pressure is on for Ethipia Eriterea waxay qabsatay magaalo kale oo ahaa kuwii la isku hayshaystay, waxaayna xadka soo dhoobtay ciidan gaaraya illaa 10.000 oo askari. Waxaay kaloo remote-ka u haysaa ONLF, UICs, Oromada so all in all I hope and I pray that Ethiopia will soon open the gates of hell for it self. Ha qaraxdo baan Illaah ka baryey, ciddii u daran tahay waaba la ogaani

^^^ Bal aanu aragno waxa uu usheego saxaafada. Odaygu qalad weyn ayuu horey u sameeyey which had costed him lot. Lets see what he gotta say this time...can't wait it!

Muraad, areey sidaa xaa dhaama. Maxaakiimtu waa Tsunami ciddi hor istaagto waa uu dhammatay. Good move Mr. Cabaas!
