Ethiopia and Egypt on a collision course...

[Suldaanka]

"I think it is an open secret that the

Egyptians have troops that are specialised in jungle warfare

. Egypt is not known for its jungles. So if these troops are trained in jungle warfare, they are probably trained to fight in the jungles of the East African countries....

 

...And from time to time Egyptian presidents have threatened countries with military action if they move. While I cannot completely discount the sabre-rattling I do not think it is a feasible option.

If Egypt were to plan to stop Ethiopia from utilising the Nile waters it would have to occupy Ethiopia

and no country on earth has done that in the past."

Meles Senawi

Nile restrictions anger Ethiopia

[General Duke]

and no country on earth has done that in the past." Meles Senawi

 

Melez is being down right ****** , forget nations a single Somali man invaded and occupied a much more powerful Ethiopia.

 

And what about the Italians?

[juba]

^ you seem to be missing the point

[Che -Guevara]

The Nile is the life line of Egypt. Some restrictions had to be there to protect the sixty million plus Egyptians, but Egypt has to recognize the old treaties were unfair and obselete by now, and occupation won't guaruntee her the Nile. So they must sit with the other Nile and work out fair formula of distrubation.

[Alle-ubaahne]

Natural resources are the most important factors that often leads a country to a major war. Ethiopia is inflitrating somalia not only because Somalia is weak, but it wants to exploit the natural resources of the country, including an access to seaports, since Ethiopia is landlocked.

 

However, i think its our national interest to see Ethiopia crash head on with Egypt. And that could obviously lead to a disintegration within the Ethiopian people. Oromo and Somalis in Ethiopia will never be satisfied with the Ethiopian ruling minority who dictate the will of others.

 

Let Ethiopia fall in the hands of its enemy. I will be the first to rejoice that looming crisis on Ethiopia.

 

They don't like us and we don't like them, that is all!

[NASSIR]

Yes Alleubaahne,you right. i agree wholeheartedly

[Gabbal]

However, i think its our national interest to see Ethiopia crash head on with Egypt.

You hit the nail on that one Allah-Ubaahne! It's god's gift to us if the Habesh's attention would be focused away from us.

 

I have long held the belief that the "Ethiopian" system was the biggest farce, and that its disintegration would come by within the state itself and not outside influence. The moment is ripe for that disintegration which has so far been greatly helped by the dictator status of the "democractically" chosen Zenawi. I have all the more hope of the Somali Republic living peacefully side-by-side with our various ethnic neighbors.

[Alle-ubaahne]

HornAfrique,

 

Abaayo, before that happens, I need back my people and the occupied territories of Somalia. Once that happens, the hope of living peacefuly side-by-side with the neighbouring countries will only be concievable.

 

Other than that, I think the struggle for us to claim the people and the territories will remain by all means.

 

Ma garatay abaayo?

so all of you guys think Egypt is right in hording all the water of the Nile for themselves? why don't u put the hate you have for the "xabasho" aside and look at the bigger picture. i guess all of you would support Egypt even if it meant your own demise.

[Gabbal]

Jumatatu xaasidkaa tahay cun Why didn't you correct the poster above you

 

Allah Ubaahne first and foremost inadeer I am a red blooded male :cool:

 

Secondly, I ment living side-by-side with our various ethnic neighbors after the Ethiopian state disintegrates and the oppressed ethnic groups gain their own states. The Somali Republic, including Somali Galbeed, living next to a Oromia state, and Afar state

^^Horn sxb weli qosol aan ku maqna..and I was just about to confront him...how can he say that to my 'ugaas'. All apologies Horn sxb I could not help laughing.But on the other hand could it be that this man (Alle-ubahne) is being sarcastic intentionally and that he knows you gender 'ugaas'.

[Gabbal]

About to confront him huh? yeah right

 

how can he say that to my

'ugaas'

A hint of sarcasm I do detect..care to explain what you ment by that?

[Fyr]

HORN the issue is not about the outcome of a conflict between Egypt and Ethiopia would have on various ethnic groups and the Somali Republic. It’s about Egypt’s unequal use of the Nile. Even if the EPRDF fall to pieces, Egypt won’t change its mind about the Nile.

 

 

By the year 2030, Ethiopia's population will be 115 million. All of those poor people need to be fed. What Ethiopia needs to do is, it should remove itself from the state of begging for food and fight for what’s within their right.

 

Just think about what it would mean for the region if Ethiopia produced enough hydro-power. That would mean a great deal for the regions industrial development.

HORN the issue is not about the outcome of a conflict between Egypt and Ethiopia would have on various ethnic groups and the Somali Republic.

It's not the issue I know, but a confrontation between Egypt and Ethiopia will have, I believe, positive repercussions concerning the Somali Republic.

 

That would mean a great deal for the regions industrial development.

It would mean a great deal for Ethiopia's industrial development, the fruits coming from that being used mercilessly against the future of a unified and strong Somali state.

 

Sxb I understand current political scenes, i.e. the state of the secessionist ambitions of the Northwest and its amicable relations with Habesh, are somewhat making you biased BUT Ethiopia is the enemy.
