Wiilo Posted January 22, 2007 Somalia and Ethiopia to be Unified? The Militarization of the Horn of Africa Editorial Note Ignored by the majority of media sources is the coordinated and synchronized involvement and intervention of both Ethiopian and American military forces and intelligence operations in the Horn of Africa. The timing of the intervention of Ethiopian troops, supported by the Anglo-American alliance, into Somalia was also originally denied by the Ethiopian government who seemingly lied to African and Arab journalists and mainstream media when asked if Ethiopian troops were operating inside Somalia. The crisis in Somalia and East Africa, triggered by U.S. interventionism is intimately related to events in the Middle East in what could become a major regional war against Iran, Syria, and their regional allies. Ethiopia is acting as an agent of Anglo-American policy and objectives in the Horn of Africa. The Somalian Transitional Government is also subservient to Anglo-American edicts and is claiming that it is fighting terrorists, just as the puppet Iraqi government is claiming that the Iraqi Resistance is nothing but a group of terrorists. It also appears marshal law is being imposed over Somalia with the help of Ethiopian troops and covertly by the United States. Additionally, what the mainstream media fails to report about is the U.S.-backed Somali government’s attempts at merging Somalia and Ethiopia with unified borders, a single currency, joint management, a single passport, and a joint military force. Finally it must be noted that Somalia, like Sudan, is both an African and Muslim country with large oil reserves that have not been tapped into yet. Somalia, also like Sudan, is conflict ridden, and its roots are linked to oil reserves. Global Research presents the following two articles, focussing on the backdoor negotiations taking place at a time of intense fighting and manoeuvres in the Horn of Africa. The Transitional Federal Government of Somalia has also been accused of collaborating in the division of Somalia and being a client of the United States and other foreign powers by Somali Parliamentarians and citizens.

Peacenow Posted January 22, 2007 It's complete fabrication. Never will happen. Never. What they're hoping at best is a Somali government will consult with them closely on issues that concern both countries. The TFG is simply the wrong 'government' at the wrong time. Whatever happens, its clear the countrty needs a professional army as soon as possible. All those billions the Gulf Arabs spend on it, seems like a good investment, looking at it from over here.

Wiilo Posted January 22, 2007 Somalia and Ethiopia to be united, says Somali Minister SomaliNet January 2, 2007 Mohamed Abdi Farah Hussein Mohamed Aideed, the Interior Minister of the Transitional Federal Government has said on Tuesday the government wants Somalia and Ethiopia to share a single passport and wipe out the boundary between the countries – citing the unity of European countries as one nation and share one currency. Mr. Aideed who met today with clan and traditional elders in the former presidential palace in the Somalia capital, Mogadishu, said since Somalis and Ethiopians are brothers and both countries share 2000 km long border my government would suggest to use a single passport in the two countries and a unified security force because there is blood relations between both communities in Somalia and Ethiopia. “There are thousands of Somali refugees living in Ethiopian and who hold Ethiopian passports who can travel everywhere in the world,” Mr. Aideed said. Hussein Aideed said 60% the Somali refugees are in Ethiopia and argued that nothing can prevent us from joining hands with Ethiopia since they came to help us from thousands miles away. The Interior Minister asked the elders to welcome the Ethiopian forces helping the government in restoring peace and stability. He said the Ethiopians should be seen as friends and not as enemies. “Ethiopia is the only country which supported Somalia out of the problem,” he said. December 10, 2006, some members of the transitional parliament in Somalia put on view publicly a map which they said secretly stolen from the office of Prime Minister Ali Mohamed Gedi in Baidoa. The map shows all countries in African continent with Ethiopia annexing Somalia. But the premier Gedi denied the allegation as false paper. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peacenow Posted January 22, 2007 The American expert on Somalia the one they call up first, Ken Menkhaus, called Adideed a 'lightweight' today in a aritcle today, look it up in google. This guy is simply a joke. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NASSIR Posted January 22, 2007 "citing the unity of European countries as one nation and share one currency." Well that is basically the Economic community of Europe. Wiilo, please don't even think about such scenerio. It is demeaning to the sovereingty of our country and personally deprives you of the dignity to be a Somali from Somalia. I thought you were nationalist or did you use it as cards stacked against the TFG. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wisdom_Seeker Posted January 23, 2007 Ethiopia today has the upper-hand to control Somali with its pinky. Personally I won’t be surprised at all. The same people who were repeatedly insisting that there were on Ethiopian troops in Somalia, after hundreds of reports came out suggesting so and the ICU were yelling from the top of their lungs are once again insisting to overlook and ignore the danger Ethiopia possess to the Somalia nation. Ethiopia have violated the Somalia sovereignty more than one hundred times. You Somalis are cursed to make the same mistakes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar Posted January 23, 2007 Soomaaliya is occupied by Xabasho. Laakiin kuma guuleysaneyso. We survived from 60 years of European colonialism, mid Xabash uma daaheyno inaa iska xureyno. Those few u shaqeynaayo, stooges and puppets as a tool, a carpet oo lagu dulmaro dalkooda, laakiin Eebbe ha idmee meel ma gaari doonaan. Waa dad yar iska nool. You will see maalintii tan Saadaam Xuseen -- noo, Saadaam dalkiisa iyo dadkiisa ayuu difaaci jiray oo maba gaaraan -- ku dhacday camal ku dhacdo waxee dhihi doonaan aan rabaa. Cabaadka muxuu badan doonaa maalintaas. I for one won't shed a tear. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
