galbeedi Posted August 16, 2022 This war is lopsided. The Canfar militia has the full support of the Cafar state militia and the full power of the "Kililka Afraad". The Liyu police had left the scene long ago after secret agreement was reached between Mustafe Cagjar, Abiy and Awal Arba the Canfar state leader. False Facebook propaganda by the diaspora members kept showing us poor nomads from Western Siti region with guns showing off their warlike statements and how ready they are to crush the Canfar. How could a poor Somali nomads with few guns and no mechanized weapons defeat the Canfar which has most of Ethiopia's fire power?. Dadka shacabka ee masaakiinta been baa loo sheegay waana la khiyaameeyey. Also, as Duufaan mentioned the policy of Omar Geele is also hurting the locals.What is unacceptable is why Canfar is pushing out the civilian population? If they takeover the towns they could rule the residents. One major reason is Ethiopia is probably is going to disintegrate after Abiy and every group is trying to make ethnically clean their regions from others. The Oromo is doing the same thing, yet the Amhara are moving in mass to the Somali region and Jigjiga, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
galbeedi Posted August 16, 2022 By the way this is the third village to fall since last year. Every time the local leaders were lied to and told that the Somali state will get back. There were even proposals to bring back the the displaced people back to those villages. It was bad leadership both from the locals and Somali region. Last year, I was one of those who suggested a peaceful compromise the would keep the Somali residents in their villages under the Canfar state while having self rule until a referendum takes place. Others said, they will not allow one inch of Somali territory to Canfar. Remember, it was Abdi Illey who gave these villages to Canfar in 2014. Now hundreds died and thousands displaced while those leaders already decided to hand the land to Canfar. That is really sad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
