DigibAc Posted January 24, 2007 What are the TFG’s goals? What are the TFG’s goals? Please provide References for any claim you make. I believe the goals of the TFG are to create in Somalia a client state for Ethiopia and lay the ground work for the subsequent annexation of Somalia by Ethiopia. To support my believe I refer the honorable reader to the statements made by Mr. Hussein Mohamed Farrah Aidid, Deputy Prime Minister, Interior Minister and Acting Minister for Reconciliation for the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia. It was reported on Tuesday January 02, 2007 that Mr. Aidid said the following (translated into English) “ 60% of our 2 million refugees are in Ethiopia, they have Ethiopian passports, they live in Ethiopia, they use it (passport) when traveling abroad and coming back, the pastoralists go to Ethiopia and come back, we have a two thousand kilometer border with them, we want to abolish that border, because we are brothers and have no problem between us, we want to have one passport, one army, security and one economy” The statements of the Deputy Prime Minister coupled with 1. the reality of long term presence of Ethiopian troops in regions of Somalia such as Gedo 2. the invitation of Ethopian troops into Somalia by the TFG 3. the TFG’s avocation for the continued presence of Ethiopian troops inside Somalia (Idd Beddel Mohamed, Charge d’affairs of the TFG Mission to the UN, on VOA African Journal January 4, 2007) 4. the undermining of Somali sovereignty by the TFG’s encouragment of military action and not protesting the military actions of the United States of America in Somalia without the consent of the TFG (Somalia's president supports US strike) all lead me to the conclusion that TFG is laying the ground work for the Ethiopian annexation of Somalia. What are your thoughts on what the goals of the TFG are? http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1573951,00.html http://somalinet.com/news/world/Somalia/6375 http://www.dailyindia.com/show/101849.php/Somalias-president-supports-US-strike Somalia – Ethiopia Conflict, Vincent Makori's Africa Journal, January 4, 2007 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
