MIght Makes Right...

It seems things haven't changed all that much in the region. The recent clashes in Gashaamo attest to that. The current leadership of Kilil 5 has shown itself to have a clannist aversion to Somaliland & has steadily been increasing pressure on the majority clans within Somaliland that inhabit portions of Kilil 5(Somali Region of Ethiopia).

 

In the latest episode, when the subclan of Gashaamo presented a muscular reaction to the forces of Abdi Iley (current ruler of Kilil 5), the tone changed with a call for peace from Abdi Iley's admin and meetings between the traditional leaders of Gashaamo and Kilil 5's top leadership on how to cool the situation.

 

Needless waste of human life...

Addis Ababa officials worry that a view of their country as a regional bully will cause resentment and undermine its diplomatic effectiveness. In February, Somaliland President Ahmed Mohamed ‘Silanyo’ visited Addis to consolidate relations. He also criticised the role of Ethiopia’s Somali Region special police, the Liyu, along the Somaliland-Puntland border in supporting the Sool, Sanaag and C’ayn clans, and in allowing easy travel to politicians who participated in the Taleh conference, which set up the Khatumo State.

 

Ethiopia does not favour Khatumo, we hear, but it may have received a friendly reception from the President of Ethiopia’s Somali Region, Abdi Iley, because of clan connections.

Maxa laga xanaaqaa meesha yaal but am surprised by your limited thinking. I really thought you were smarter.

The man thinks everything that happens is in relation to his tribal land even when it involves his tribesman across border being massacred by forces whose loyal to Zenawi. Rather than examine Ethiopia's policy in the region, he took the simple all too familiar Somali way.

Che, why limited in your view? Because I point out what other analysts of regional affairs (such as the writers of Africa Confidential - posted above, who mostly happen to be retired British MI-6 analysts) also point out?

 

Might is still what's respected in the region, unfortunately. Not much progress contrary to our dearest wishes when you see how this played out (Gashaamo incidents).

what was that saying - "Mintid fara yar midhihii bataa kama macaashaan"

 

Mintid - might never equals right - no matter what situation it is deployed.

Mintid-You seriously think tribal militia equipped with AKs poses any challenge, so much so it deters Ethiopia from implementing its policies?

In the big scheme of things, you're correct, Sayid. Unfortunately, we, geeljires, have not matured from the 'might' mentality of the Hobbesian jungle. It's only when we cause each other needless harm and death, that rationale sets in.

 

Never mind, the attempts by others to hijack the meaning of the thread and turn it to something else. But obviously you don't suffer from the insecurities others suffer from when they read 'Mintid Farayar' as the poster.

 

Always a pleasure, Sayid...
