IN SUPPORT OF OUR TROOPS FIGHTING IN SOMALIA

From CUD Supporter

Dear Editor,

In advance please pass my sincere support and utmost respect to our troops fighting in Somalia.

I am going to be honest with you; I call myself and believe that I am a hardcore CUD supporter. I have a strong detest for Meles’ handling of the post-election Ethiopian politics, which resulted in the unfortunate killings and wounds of 193 and several hundreds, respectively. Actually, I am one of the CUD supporters who have not yet forgiven Meles for his role to cede Eritrea from its motherland. I am one of Ethiopians who did not and will not forgive Meles for signing the ridiculous Alger’s Agreement on the face of the sacrifice of tens of thousands of our soldiers, the massacre of 50 children of Ayder School, killing and robbery of innocent Ethiopians who used to live in Eritrea, on top of Shabia’s untold robbery of properties of Ethiopian merchants and aid-food that was about to be channeled to hunger-stricken Ethiopians.

I support the vision of CUD leaders and the party itself and will continue to do so; however, my party’s position regarding the UIC’s threat against Ethiopia has failed to pass strict scrutiny test as we Ethiopians have compelling interest to protect our national unity and sovereignty from current UIC threats or its would be emboldened future threats. UIC’s declaration of jihad and claim of territories of Ethiopia and Djibouti is a real threat to our country. The argument made by my party claiming "UIC is not a real threat" is not valid. The more Ethiopia waits, the stronger the UIC will become, given the strong support of the mad man of Eritrea. Furthermore, we do not have to forget the interest in Nile basin had made some countries to become historical enemies of Ethiopia. Once UIC become strong, those historical enemies will not pass the chance of destroying Ethiopia. Actually, they are in Support of UIC on this war already. Therefore, personally, I am not voicing in line with my party regarding the war against the UIC. Instead, I am fully in support of our troops and wish them glorious victory.

Some people may think that I am Woyanne loyalist or Woyanne. When it comes to my country’s national interest, I am willing to be called “Devil” let alone Woyanne Loyalist.  Regardless of this, I am open to any argument on this issue.
