Somali_Friend Posted December 28, 2006 When children play in some parts of ethiopia, and one of them has told something untrue, the other kids "cruely" tell him the following: "You will not be called Shiek if you live to be a hundred year old" In most cases the child is reduced to tears. Considering the too many to count Fartaag incidents of the ICU shieks, do you think ICU has damaged the confidence people have when they in their villages or towns give the title shiek?

Ahmed_Guree Posted December 28, 2006 Yahadig, It seems you have poor understanding of the term Sheikh. Sheikh is like a title. Sheikh ul is slam means the leader of the Faithfuls while Sheikhul balad is the cheif or adminstrator. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shiek in all cases is the village or town folks confidence in an Individual. If a Shiek tells a lie he breaks that trust and confidence. exactly what ICU did.

Pujah Posted December 28, 2006 ^^ What lies are you speaking off? The sheiks predicted that amhara wants nothing more than to occupie our land and to terrorize our people and that is exactly what happened. Somali foe, i suggest you milk this temporary insanity by some of our(somalian) people as it will not last. Sooner or later Somalis (including coward TFG) will wake up and smell the coffee and they will chase you untill you reach addis and sign away Og@denia in the process.

Ahmed_Guree Posted December 28, 2006 How many times has Meles broken the trust of Tigray? How many Tigray Generals/Colonels has he killed only due to the fact that they opposed Eirtrean invasion? Meles himself is not popular among his kins let alone in Ethiopia. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But there is one fact you cannot deny, even while you say untruth knowingly. Meles is most popular in Jijiga (the capital of Somali state), probably more than in Mekelle (the capital of Tigray state). And now Meles will be even more popular in Jijiga, for helping the TFG defeat Aweye, probably the most disliked man in Somali state, ethiopia. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ahmed_Guree Posted December 28, 2006 ^^^ Jijiga Dude you seem to fascinate me i do agree that Meles is as popular in Jigjiga as Mengistu was in Makelle during his Tenure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why do you like to play childrens games here when people are in anguish over the future of their areas in Somalia? This is the same situation we ethiopians had in 1991. Amharic is the official language of the federation Somali is the state language of somali stste Tigrigna is state language of Tigray Amharic is also state language of Amara state What is your point?

Ahmed_Guree Posted December 28, 2006 Angush over what? You thugs have oppressed my people for the past 15 yrs. installed puppet Somali govt Embezelled funds for developing the region Sent my people to a worthless war in Badme reduced my land to a military outpost. Terrorised my folks and excersised public exections of inncoent people. Your soilders rape our children and women. your unpaid soilders confisicate livestock and loot their property having the fact that they are marginalised. So tell me whats the difference between Meles and the Devil Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Somali_Friend Posted December 28, 2006 Go fight for Eritrea. They have 1000km border to Ethiopia. They do not allow a mosquito or fly to cross the border. They know what comes. The Somali went to fight Eritreans, because thats the price of living in Federation. Suport each other when foreign invasion comes to take your common land, but everyone manage their affairs at home. Are you denying that all of WSLF resolutions of 1984 have not been fully implemented? There is always going to be some group that is not happy, but we need to learn new culture. Do what you want peacefully. You have seen how an opposition party leader in the ethiopian parliament accused Meles of being pro Somali. Find me a single example of that kind of debate anywhere in black africa? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
