galbeedi Posted July 25, 2021 wHat in the world, Somalis dying to defend Amhara. THey claim to be 25 million, yet they can not defend from Tigray. Heck, the whole Ethiopia of 100 million can not defend 5 million determined Tigray. In 1977, the world was in awe about 5 million Somalis defeating the thousand years old 40 million Ethiopian empire and taking a third of the country. It is all about attitude and courage. We used to listen the nationalist songs of that era. When Khadra Daahir said" Curyaan baratan raadsaday waa gumeysi cudud iyo caqli aan lahayno nin ka cooba weyn raba in uu caydhasho oo raro. The arrogance of the Amhara has no limits. In those days we compared him like a handicap person trying to race sprints by trying to oppress Somalis. Ah times had changed.

Che -Guevara Posted July 25, 2021 It seems Amhara forces are mostly peasant militias. They have overestimated their strength. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Che -Guevara Posted July 26, 2021 Quote In this video; a Somali LP officer who’s among those recently deployed to defend #Amhara from the advancing #TDF seems shocked & bewildered at the Amhara LP & militias who seem to be in a stampede mode running from the same battlefield his contingent is heading to!

Che -Guevara Posted July 26, 2021 Somalis cut off Djibouti-Addis rail after Afars attacked Somali villages in Sitti. The main road is cut off as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Afar people are now the only ones killing and maiming Somalis and burning down their towns. They should be fought against not defended. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tallaabo Posted July 27, 2021 President Mustafe should have sent the Liyu police to defend the Somali people in Sitti region instead of sending them off to die for the Amxaara and lands they stole from the Tigrey people. What a twisted priority! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What a twisted priority! Agree, something not right about current format. It is possible Abiy wants weaken remaining regional states, so they don't raise up like Tigray Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wuu isku jabiniya gobolada, with the centre coming out as the neutral arbiter. I don’t think any region will dare to take any more unilateral actions once the Tigray militants is dealt with.
