Old_Observer Posted May 7, 2018 1 hour ago, Ifiye said: OO is an entertainer. He knows full well such a visit is not gonna happen. Why show Somalia respect now when you invested so much undermining it. We would do the same thing if we were in Ethiopia's position as we did during Mingistu era. Ifiye, I understand your emotions, but nations are not run like that, at least nations with a future. Most Somali people have moved on from that old temptation. And its working much better. In Djibouti big success, in Ethiopia big success, in Kenya will be even bigger succeess. Even in Canada, US and other countries the Somali people are striving. Keep it going.

Old_Observer Posted June 5, 2018 This still has not happened. Blame Somalia 1. The president wants to look anti-Ethiopia for cheap Mogadishu style politics 2. Security situation too dangerous 3. President and PM too competitive and conflicting ways Blame Ethiopia 1. Kililka is not happy with Mogadishu 2. New PM not realized value of the visit to people both countries 3. Afraid of Saudi Arabia Blame the world 1. Great Britain not wanting it 2. Uganda absolutely not wanting it 3. Egypt asked Saudis and UAE to pressure Ethiopia not to do it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old_Observer Posted June 5, 2018 Paul Kagame of Ruanda became first visitor to Addis Ababa. Got a cow and calf a gift he truly likes as a rancher. now Farmaajo can be 2nd if it does not work the other way. PM of Somalia was 3rd or 4th among PMs or heads of governments. Al Bashir does not count he is an Ethiopian. President Farmaajo should have gone to security conference in Ethiopia. Now PM Abiy is going to Uganda.....my schedule falling further and further.

Xaaji Xunjuf Posted June 6, 2018 Somaliland leader muse bixi shouldn't visit any country the govt main concern is to make sure we close the border we have with Somalia. And touch on yoocade. If the pirates start throwing stones we need to shell them into submission the same way we chased tuute muuse from the milkey town. Somaliland has stopped all talks with the koonfurians whether it's faqash remnant failmaajo and his amisom buddies or Mr cabdi cawar from the pirate enclave.

That is funny, but figuratively Pirates either of British Empire or Puntland Boqor don't throw stones. If there is nothing to be pirated in your enclave they are not coming there.
