Has anyone been following this? Why?

 

I thought free movement was good for us, what spooked our government?

[Tallaabo]

Maakhiri ask the people of Hargaysa and Boosaaso if they fancy free movement of people with 40 million plus people Oromia state next door?

Exactly

 

maakihiri1,

You are right any other time, but now. Can you imagine how many people from Kenya and Ethiopia can settle in the good farm lands and rivers by corrupting this or that.

 

When you choose free movement, I think your point is the somali is better in business and can win, but not when you don't have any factories running any agricultural products to support home market.

 

 

[Che -Guevara]

Free movement is good when you have control over your borders.

Our cities are already teetering with illegal Oromo migrants from Ethiopia. We don't want Free Movement. We have enough illegals already.

Ready made fifth wing as the Russians say.

or maybe they knew the new development Ethiopia, time to close the border.

 

Anyway, Somali enterprenuers would benefit this and we also have many Somalis who want cross to these countries.
