Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn declared bi-partisan support for Somaliland in the case of military action

against the threat from neighboring Somalia and other external militants such as al Shabab.

 

The Prime Minister delivered the keynote speech this weekend in the Ethiopian Parliament in front of Ethiopian legislators.

 

Mr. Desalegn specified that Ethiopia is ready to provide diplomatic, military, and economic support to Somaliland “should

they need it”.“

 

Somaliland is a friend and a key strategic ally for Ethiopia. We will spare no expense to defend and protect

Somaliland. We are ready to extend an arm of support to our Somaliland brothers every time they are in need of one,

” Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn told the Parliamentarians.

 

It was just weeks ago when Prime Minister Desalegn

received the Somaliland President Ahmed Silanyo at his official residence in Addis Ababa.

 

The two heads of State concurred on the enhancement of security, education and commercial ties.

 

 

“Somaliland and Ethiopia share cordial relations of which we are determined to not only sustain but enhance as well,

” President Silanyo told Somaliland and Ethiopian reporters.

I support the PM on his firm stand making sure to our Enemies, Eritrea, Egypt, and the Al-shabab of South Somalia

that if you mess with Ethiopian freienda we will take action to protect our assets and our freinds including military

action so, think before you act. It also shows how strong he is despite ESATs false propaganda.

Egypt was behind the Eritrean independence, and now Egypt is making sure that Somaliland doesn't get independence.

The former is to make Ethiopia disintegrate, and the later is to make somalia strong so that it can challenge Ethiopia.

Everyone is looking for their national interest, and Ethiopia is should strengthen its diplomacy. Good job anyway!

Mark you are absolutly correct Egypt is behind most of the evil against Ethiopia, but Ethiopia seems aware of it now

and doing something about it. We need support Somaliland as long as the people of Somaliland want independence

it should be their right to become a separate country. They also have a historical right because they were not part of

the Italian colony they were part of the British colony.

I think it is big mistake that Ethiopia not recognise Somaliland state. There is two good reason first Somaliland pple are

friendliest pple of Ethiopia has with in the region, secondly Somaliland and Ethiopia has common enemy of Egypt.

Biletaral relation and recognition of Somaliland mean strong Ethiopia.

I welcome this development. Ethiopia and Somaliland are not only common allies but they go back long way. Ethiopia can

not recognize Somaliland for legal reasons (neighbor) but supporting Somaliland until it achieves its recognition is a great

move. We will have one more friend in a hostile region. A friend is never prized nor questioned.

 

We welcome the Prime Minister's wise foreign policy and it will be one that keeps Ethiopia's dominance in the region. If

Somaliland returns to Somalia, united Somalia is a formidable rivalry. The West, Arabs and even Turkey wants to restore

united Somalia so they can harass Ethiopia. They call this regional balance of powers in their diplomatic language.

 

If we don't support Somaliland in its hour of need then they will not be a friend nor will they allow us any port usage.

Somaliland income does not so much depend on port like Djibouti. They can go back to Somalia and diversify their

income example petroleum, livestock, etc.

Here is the main reason: Somaliland provides a dependable buffer to Djibouti from whatever kind of trouble that might

arise from any kind of groups or unfriendly countries. Indirectly speaking, Ethiopia will do everything, including force, to

defend Djibouti, and the strategy for defending Djibouti starts with Somaliland. And by the way, what is the world waiting

for to recognise Somaliland as an independent country? Is the world waiting for bloodshed? Any difference b/n peaceful

Somaliland and war ravaged kosovo? Recognition is the answer and I think Ethiopia is going to be the first to do so.

Interesting. It seems most mainstream Ethiopians know it is Egypt and some other Arab countries

that is pushing for a united Somalia so they can harass Ethiopia , as a result most of them

are in favor of Somaliland recognition,

[Xaaji Xunjuf]

Ethiopians are scared of Egyptians, Egypt has motives and we know why they have blocked SL recognition. But if the Ethiopians are serous they should recognize Somaliland independence. But most of the time they are not sincere because no one needs their protection its much about nothing. The African union guarded government is toothless there is no threat coming from the pirates either.

It is all about interests, it is in the legal sense Ethiopia can't make that move yet (they have their own

issues with secession inside their borders) among , but it is good that they realize a united Somalia

being by the likes of Egypt is Danger to them.

How so I only posted what is posted on their site and the general opinions of the Ethiopian mainstream

regarding the statement made by their PM. The Tigray whore is you who welcomed them along

When you no longer need ugandan kenyan Ethiopian Djiboutian burundian troops is when you can say i am free and no longer guarded now i admit the Somali government made some progress the past 8 months. But its still not there and it has allot of work to do in terms of security policing and the reestablishment of the security institutions.

[Saalax]

Che Is one strange kid. His country of origin Somalia loves Ethiopians so much that they welcomed

Ethiopian tanks into their capital Mogadishu back in 2006, they also operate in Beledweyne, Central

Somalia, Gedo etc in recent years yet he has to audacity to try to accuse others.

[Che -Guevara]

^Only sad case sees any difference between traitor in Gedo or one in Hargeysa or elsewhere a whore is whore wherever she's, sadly the Somali nation is blessed. Keep on grinning.
