Old_Observer Posted June 9, 2018 8 minutes ago, Xaaji Xunjuf said: Isiais his self isolation worked he played good politics he defeated the salafist movement of Hassan basri in the 1990s of Sudan . He started bisha mining. He indoctrinated all The Eritreans and build one of the largest military in Africa. Sawa kamp isias is a real soldier. But in 1999 woody almost lost the war seye abraha almost broke the back isias and his generals when they pushed beyond bereentu. I think the Saudi's the khaleejis have a good partner it looks good for isias because sanctions will be lifted. Eritrea doesnt sponsor alshabaab or other groups. The conscription gives him 300,000 soldiers, but also 200,000 Eritreans refugee in enemy country Ethiopia of which half are conscripts. when you consider that Ethiopia has 160,000 total and yet Ethiopia is on top 30 most powerful countries and Eritrea is not even on the map. He can take advantage of Yemen to get out of the cold, good for a dictator, but is that history you want to leave your country or people. Somalia could have recieved a billion dollars, but I think is better off refusing this Yemen inhumanity. Even Ghelleh who has same love of money as Isayas refused his country to be used for Yemen war. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
galbeedi Posted June 9, 2018 OO, You really getting my huge respect on the issues of geopolitics. In this pages , you said it is like early 20th century in the horn for powers to scramble for influence, especially for the Somali region. You did mention Yamamoto visiting both Addis, Asmara and Djibouti. Now, Is it possible for both Ethiopia, Eritrea and Egypt to be all under the leadership of the money boys of the gulf?

galbeedi Posted June 9, 2018 Furthermore, why the Tigray politicians oppose a peace with Eritrea?. I think Eritrea being a player will diminish the influence of the Tigray . Besides , it is EPLF who thought everything to the lesser Tigray Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aroori Posted June 9, 2018 3 hours ago, galbeedi said: We Somalis must learn one or two things from the tough mountainaires of Eritrean army and people. Those mountaineers and Ethiopians in general have an inherent characteristic -in some sense or another- called patriotism, a trait -as much as it is hard to admit- we Somalis simply lack. The word [patriot] doesn't exist in the Somali vocabulary. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
