Yes he did, but the price is not known yet. What will be status, strength, damage to Liyu How much will Abiy have gone deep into the black box called Somali...some clans may have crossed to the Oromo side and that could prove to be biggest damage to kililka. How insulated will kililka be or will it be just a province of Ethiopia Yet to be clear. They seem to be smarter than some Somalis. They are not throwing out all around Iley they are still compromising, afraid also that there could be surprises. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
