Tillamook Posted July 13, 2018 Please don’t fall for such obvious Tigray propaganda. These sort of videos are only meant to incite hatred and revenge driven violence between Somalis and Oromo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khadafi Posted July 13, 2018 Agreed Tillamook, but the problem is once a fire erupts it is hard to extinguish it. It's all over the news and it is starting to disseminate amongst somali circles. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yunis Posted July 13, 2018 He keeps forgetting to say what ever he was coached to say, and the Special agent OO is behind camera keeps reminding him on the spot. Tigray mercenaries are having hard time matching upto Jawar's ground game. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you saying somebody died but should not be told so that the Oromo don't look bad? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its just everybody is taking advantage of the situation in claiming land or town administration power before things change in Ethiopia. There is a saying that market troubles are best fr the thief. The other thing is OK lets say the Tigray created this conflict. Don't the governments have responsibility to stop it and if capable investigate and bring culprits to court? After all if citizens feel unsecure, they take matters into their own hands and then you don't have government bad or good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which ones in your opinion are the mercenaries/ Those who started it, those defending themselves, those taking advantage and amassing property and cattle? or those that will rent vehicles, sell tents, food to some humanitarian agencies?

maakhiri1 Posted July 14, 2018 OO, I agree one thing here with you, Oromos are dumb as rock, and now since they partially come to power, they are empowered, SOMALIS must dig and protect their land and people. Regardless if who is being played, who, , one thing is known, they have inferiority complex, and hate SOMALIS. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Regardless of how many have died so far, the people who have fallen for this insidious Tigray propaganda and committing atrocities against their neighbors are also victims.

What point are you trying to make here, because you’ve only repeated the futile game plan of the former Tigray rulers; which is to get the Somalis and Oromos at each other’s throats and thereby slow down or even derail the reforms Abiye is implementing in Addis—which are detrimental to the Tigray brigands who used to run the place. P.S OO, was that saying about “trouble in a market is a good distraction for a thief”, a Freudian slip on your part?😆😆😆 You’re right... these skirmishes that your Tigray masters are trying to ignite between Somalis and Oromos shall be extinguished —and the Tigray brigands will not get another opportunity to return to their thieving ways once again.

And what do you think made the Sidama move. They had kilil for some months some 20 years ago. Have been demanding this and they see an opportunity to do it now. That was the violence. You can blame Tigray 24/7 but the people and the problems and the poverty and underdevelopment is still sitting there. There are problems that don't go away whether you have Tigray, Oromo or anyone else. They are good to use for attacking someone, but will be recycled the same way. Yes there is flux and confusion in Ethiopian power and political structure right now. The Oromo are only changing alliance from one Tigray to another. By all account they are hoping it will work. Should the Somali follow that? I am sure Tillamook will say emphatic yes. OK then what happens if the project is against other Somalis. Remember Kililka has relatively best seat in the house. Somalis in Ethiopia participate their portion, but are not fighting to rule Ethiopia. That is what you are missing. Don't get to deep into Ethiopia. If you wanted to maintain yourself government when Amhara were in power, do the same when anyone else is in power as well. Don't you change your fundamentals with every regime change in Ethiopia. That is the difference. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t know who you’re trying to lecture these “sweat nothings” to, but it sure as hell ain’t me, hombre..😀 OO, don’t obsess so much about Somalis and what they will or will not do. Just focus your energies on Tigre prospects( if they survive through it) once the Oromo are done consolidating their power. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are the one who is attaching everything Somali to Oromo, Tigre etc. Not me. Don't get all worked out in Ethiopian system. Its more complex than Oromo or Tigre. I am not sure if its fortunate or unfortunate, but there has never been any empire in history that wants Ethiopia to not exist. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Holac Posted July 15, 2018 It is one thing to be antagonistic towards the recent Tigre rulers of Ethiopia, but to dismiss every grievance Somalis have about Oromo expansionists as a "tigre-plot" ignores historical facts. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
