The UIC extremist did not fool the pundits in Washington DC and Brussels only but also Somalis themselves. The following cartoon by one of the gifted Somali’s we have seen on the net tells it all how fooled people have been by UIC! We are sure Mr Amin is scratching his head how stupid he must have been to trust UIC extremist and foreign mujahadeenis sponsored by Shaibya of Eritrea!. Mr. Amin is the trap working these days?...

Escaping the curse of the 70’s and Nudging our nascent democracy

Lidetus Resonable request Ethiopia’s curse from the 70’s (Derge, EPRP, Meson)were huddled on paltalk to recover from their Somali prediction debacle and to see if they can figure a way for Ethiopia travel back to future using “unite” or ‘destruct” “Tebaberu wey tesebaberu” placard. Apparently such undemocratic, intolerant organizing motto is said to be what “Ye Ethiopia hizb” wants. (Sensible minds must have said to themselves “Minew EHadeg zemedochachin befetana kenezih gudoch betegelagelen). It proceeded with usual irony, a civic organization organizing political parties, Dr. Negede teaching Andargachew about “Yeginbot Diloch”, which apparently is lost on the latter after spending all his time being apologist for OLF. Their pathetic state was such that they were nostalgic of Paris I.
And back home…
Dr.Beyene wants to plead the fifth. This is after he shifted his reason for opposing the last resolution on Aend Ethiopia Radio. The reason he opposed, he backtracked, was because the resolution makes other parties equally accountable as Eritrea. While clearly he is on record to have agreed targeting the UIC but opposes pointing fingers to other, among whom is Eritrea.


On the other hand UEDP-Medhin (where is the Medhin in UEDP-Medhin?) has got it right. Why EPRDF is dogging them is not clear. While it is good thing EPRDF wanted to postpone the resolution it should make it a habit to consult with the opposition and bring a resolution sponsored in cooperation with other parties when possible. They have earned the respect and it is one way to develop the democratic culture.


This video is from our archives that shows OLF captured fighters. This time Shabia and Anti-Ethiopia forces were deafening us with how weak our forces are pointing to deserting self disgraced generals. They were publicly declaring that our forces will be trapped in Somali. They were quick to show fake downed Helicopters only to see UIC being decimated in a week. Our forces have proven to be disciplined formidable regional force and Shabia will go down to its grave with its dream.

"As long as Isayas Government exists it will not abandon its dream of weak Ethiopia"

General Samora Yunis

Comment:- ...blunder after blunder western experts face the agony in defeat...defeat as in wrong prediction! We are sure the monday morning quarterbacking will continue for some time. In fact expect every little incident in Somalia to be magnified in order to fit the only remaining living prediction of the so called experts-"insurgency by UIC".Living only because Ethiopia and TFG can not alter the pace of Time!

Ethiopians 'must stay' in Somalia

Democratization on Track

Parties discuss NEBE issues

"Somalia's weak interim government wants Ethiopian forces to remain in the country until peacekeepers deploy as they have few well-trained troops and are poorly placed to maintain law and order without help. "

Comment: The Iraq- Somalia comparison is far fetched. For insurgency to be viable it has to have grass root support, organizational capacity and finance. The bush administration made the mistake dismantling the state the Sunis built for decades in the name of debaathification following the ill advice of Ahmed Chalabi. UIC has no grass root support by the fact the Clan militia turned on it at the 11th hour. The UIC is a spent force
However, the treat to Somali’s stability is the entrenched clan based division and it is doubtful if it will be solved in months. News is popping up where the undisciplined TFG members are accusing each other. There is no guarantee that they will not used the years propaganda that Ethiopia is an Enemy of Somalia to their own cynical end there by making Ethiopian forces to be part of the problem.
The 3 days of disarmament can be indicators to know how much the TFG is perceived to be legitimate. The open ended declaration by PM Gedi of staying until “Somalia is stabilized” is unhelpful. Ethiopia should not shift its time table of exit and demand the world community to get its acts together and send peace keeping forces within the time table set.
Avoid the temptation of being a liberator or fixing Somalia.


Breaking News
(Aigaforum Jan 1, 2007)-Kenyan Forces have intercepted fleeing terrorist from Kismayo at their border this evening. Sources told us Kenyan forces were quoted on Kenyan TV to have apprehended two Eritrean passport holders and a third person from another country after a brief skirmish. Kenyan TV is reported to have aired on the skirmish this evening Kenyan time.

As you recall the Eritrean regime has been trying in futile attempt to cover its tracks in Somalia by denying it has dispatched forces to Somalia. As recent as yesterday it has criticized Ethiopia for manufacturing Eritrean ID cards. It is to be seen what Eritrea’s information minister also known lately the second “Bagdad Bob" to say on this breaking news.
