PasserBy Posted November 17, 2010 It is good that President Silanyo is currently visiting Ethiopia. It will go a long way in patching up the bruised relationship between the two governments. But contrary to what Ngonge suggested, Silanyo is receiving the same treatment his predecessor, Riyale, did. Nothing pompous. New Somaliland president arrives here Addis Ababa, November 17, 2010 (Addis Ababa) - The new Somaliland President Ahmed Mohamud Ahmud arrived here on Wednesday for a three-day official visit.

London2010 Posted November 18, 2010 Can someone tell me the GDP of this so called 'Strong' Ethiopia. Let me tell you. It's $29 billion. Yes $29 billion about the amount that a medium sized company in the New York Stock Exchange turns over anually. The entire output of 80 million people equals $29 billion. For a country with a similar population in this case Germany their output is $3.331 trillion. It's really crazy that we give so much attention to this sad pauper nation.

Che -Guevara Posted November 18, 2010 N he finally joined the legions of the so called Somali leaders that paid homage to Zenawi. You gotta give it to him, unlike others he did hold out as much as he can. He wouldn't have made a good prom queen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Again, where is the red-carpet welcome he received there? Oh wait, there isn't such thing in there, he was welcomed by a mere VICE minister LOL.
