Suldaanka Posted March 5, 2018 It is really hilarious to see grown up men shed tears and hearts out with emotions - we know it is all for the camera - but for them they actually think they can have some sort of affect or an outcome with this ignominy. The issue here is not about Berbera or Ethiopia or even DP World/UAE. It is simple. Somaliland is taking huge strides in the right direction. What they thought was not possible is now becoming unbelievably close. And that is the political recognition of the reality on the ground - which is the only single thing that has eluded Somaliland for thus. And because "Political" recognition is all interlinked with "Geopolitical and economical Interest" - today Somaliland is at the cusp of that wave. And the De Jure recognition is closest more than ever. In a nutshell, that is what is causing all these heartache. And boy o boy, are Somalilanders enjoying the scene! With regards to the Berbera deal, let me break ice, for all it is worth, it is a commercial deal. And like all commercial deals, they can be nullified ala Djibouti style. When the time is right, of course. And that is my friends where the cookie crumbles. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Imika rag badan waxay ka ooyayaan maha Berbera, waxa laga ooyaya waa the coming reality check. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old_Observer Posted March 5, 2018 In pro-government media this was reported as news when it happened. After that its only opposition that are raising gossip and inuendo. The best one is from Oromo. The Tigray are doing this to control all ports and in cooperation with sudan make regime change in Eritrea. Then Tigray will take the Afar, Somali, half Amhara kilils with them and leave. or control and dominate everybody which means Oromo forever. How people become so blinded when there is hate which creates fear of knowing the truth. It would be more reasonable to think the Tigray will kick us out rather than they will leave. The ignorance of it all is that the Somali and Tigray in Ethiopia are equal. Tigray are actually more respectful of Afar more than any other and would not even think such an idea.

Old_Observer Posted March 5, 2018 2 minutes ago, Ducale said: I was thinking of using that djibouti flag but you beat me to it. Anyway, have you ever been to djibouti? Maybe you lived or worked there? It can't be just because you like the president. What gives 007? Only one time for 3 days, not Djibouti port city, but up north on Afar side. I like him for one reason. He has open mind. See the way he resolved the schism that was developing with the Afar and some opportunist Somalis with encouragement of French. He is very flexible as well unlike other strong men in Africa. Very business like. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tallaabo Posted March 5, 2018 Oo is not Tigrey but one of our cagdheer boys from kililka. He was probably educated in Addis Ababa and therefore gained a lot of knowledge about the other ethnic groups in Ethiopia. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old_Observer Posted March 5, 2018 Italians are notorious for this. In both Somalia and Eritrea they had policy of providing entertainment for their soldiers. In Erirea it was declared as a decree and given to the local chiefs to bring so many women each from their districts. Most refused and that is when Island prison in the red sea was opened. Its called Nakura. Just like alkatras in USA. One time Eritreans escaped and went to Tigray, but since king menelik had agreement with italy the only help they got was from locals some fighters and few guns. In the agreement between italy and the Boqor there is an article specifically about this. The Boqor insisted that Italian soldiers will not come to its territory and all orders by Italy including tax will all be done by Somalis and sent to Mogadishu.
