Guys, it may sound silly, but this is the reason why our region is the way it is. Now let's calm down, shall we? Whatever is happening or has happened in Eritrea is completely irrelevant. This thread is about the border clash between Somaliland and Ethiopia.

[aAaBecker]

Well at least we are not eating each other like a bunch of baboons, Are we?

Yes you do, Tigray and Tigrinja have been Scavanging on each other since time immemorial, you guys are an extinct breed for god sake.
Tell me how is the incaceration camp called Asmara doing these days, have you asked afwerki any permission to use your computer today? Don't forget it's the end of the month, you need to send the mandatory diaspora tax to EPLF, ASAP, would hate to see your family members getting imprisoned back home due to sloppyness from your side.

Little Ranjif is trying to make some point... We don't fight and rape women and dragg corps on the base of some clannish bull shit non sense. We fight like men and we die like men...How does this sounds familiar...Despite i am Darood/Majertan Somali, my allegiance is with Ethiopians, because they are doing an amazing job to teach those Hutu Hawiye a lesson.

As far as Diaspora tax...I do it with joy and smile on my face. Just like this.

Thats the thing, there was no border clash between the gov't of Somaliland and Ethiopia, but rather, militias from the border town of Buhodle and the ethio military.

Ferej is a fool and people should just ignore him

This thread is about the border clash between Somaliland and Ethiopia.

No it's not, the thread is about ethnically politicizing said event:

Hawiye was defeated and now it seems it is Isaac turn.

Whatever is happening or has happened in Eritrea is completely irrelevant.

It is relevant because the instigator, Internet General Barka/Ferej is of Eritrean origin.

[Beragagnu]

Then you're right that it should be pointed out.

It is relevant because the instigator, Internet General Barka/Ferej is of Eritrean origin.

So then you should attempt to ridicule him about oppression in Eritrea, knowing full well that there is oppression in your homeland? I would like to think that you wouldn't bother with that.

I didn't ridicule him, i was letting him know to pay attention to his own country, it was a don't throw a stone if you are in a glass house type of comment if anything.

Ferej is a fool and people should just ignore him

No his not a 'fool' at all, he knows very well about our region and what he is saying.

[eI7iqNot]

He is Hawiye

Tigray boy, refer to me as a somali first and foremost otherwise i would have to belt you.
Only another Somali has the right to refer to me as to my clan. That is the culture and custom.

Says the habesha, who my folk had conquered, enslaved, converted half of them to Islam. Had sold boat loads of habesha's to various slave masters throughout the world, no wonder why Arabs still associate the word habesha with slavery.
Empowered you against Amahara oppression, educated you, gave you a somali passport. Instead of thanking our kindness you become ungrateful.

LMAO; First of all, if you prefer to address me as a Tigray boy, it is much better and more convenience to address me as My Lord or your excellency. If you forget, Tigray are Haweye's New Lords.

As far as the non sense you uttered above.. I urge to catch to the rest of the world and get civilized. For starters get dressed . it is quite strange in medieval times, it was the Amhara who civilized and made an attempt to distance you from the religion of waaq and now it is Tigray's turn to teach you how to behave and act in a very civilized manner. Some thing never changes.

[Clunlippibe]

Really?

He is trolling, sure, he is addicted to trolling, in fact he was the one who proposed the creation of 'Horn of Africa tribune' section in these race forums just so that he could troll, nevertheless, he is not a 'fool', his theories are very much inline with EPLF , son of ELF, conceived and birthed by Afro-italians in Cairo, Egypt and ex. brothers of the TPLF, but are now mortal enemies. He is bitter that his brothers betrayed him for the very comfortable throne of Menelik

Oh, how could I miss this comment? Sharia-Kid, it seems that you are proud of the Turkish inspired invasion of the highlands from 500 years ago eh? What is there to be proud of being foot soldiers of the Turks buster? besides, haven't you been shown countless times that Gragn was most likely not a Somali even though he had probably many Somali foot soldiers. But most of all, Gragn destroyed many beautiful and historical church edifices and manuscripts of the highlands that even Muslims of the horn today could have been proud of, yet he left us nothing of value whilst on his destruction spree, not even one mosque or even one edifice saying 'I gragn did this', the only thing he left was just death, killing and mayhem very fitting as to the mad dog that he was, you must like that eh? since it is along the lines of what your relatives have been doing in mog for the past 20 years.

Thats my history, heroic, bold, ferocious. Some of the units that fought alongside Imaan Ahmed Gurey had been recruited from the surrounding area's of my own village. So i could very well be the progeny of those men.
It was not an easy process as the Habesha's were very large in number. In each battle we were always outnumbered by a ratio of 50:1. But what they had in numbers they lacked in heart and courage. From battle to battle we cut them apart until the Somali reputation became formidable. Where Habesha towns would begin to surrender only on sight of a few somali scouts. The Ethiopian peasant population was very easy to rule, as they were timid and only wished to live their lives in peace regardless of who ruled them. We would put in place a few somali/afar warriors in every strategic hill top overlooking the countryside. To police and protect tens of thousands of Ethopian peasants who had turned into new subjects.
That was the period when Islam took root in Ethiopia. Where many had converted because of the excellence of the Somali/Afar warrior. The power and courage that he displayed was attractive to the population.
Lastly the name is not Ahmed Gragn but Ahmed Gurey. Just had to correct that error. 500 years on and Ahmed Gurey is still the greatest somali ever, we still sing about him, build statues for him. Name streets and monuments after him.

I am not making this stuff up, these are facts. Meles and Isaias Afewerki both had somali passports. No country on earth had worked harder for Eritrea's breakaway from Ethiopia than Somalia. And I doubt that Eritrea would return to Ethiopia, not when Tigray meles is in charge, lol. That is the price that ethiopia must pay and continue to pay for holding on to Ogadenia. Inshallah next goal is the Republic of Oromia

Aware_dog, be less emotional and more objective of an era long gone. The campaign against the Solomonids by the Adalites was solely the result of the former power encroaching on the latter, there were no Ottomans needed to entice them into invading the highlands, the grievances were already there. The fringe assertion that he was not Somali is an issue i will address more deeply a different time, but that link is not really convincing at all, the fact that individuals with the sobriquet Al-Somali - which is quite common - are being presented as the only 'Somali individuals' is just poor scholarship, it's tantamount to restricting all historic Persian islamic individuals to the sobriquet ''Al-Farsi''. What we do know however is that he was born in a Somali city, his army was mainly Somali, and he immersed himself in their clan-politics, most of his relatives were married to easily indentifiable Somali individuals. As for heritage, the Adalite legacy is widespread, the hundreds of mosques and courtyard houses in cities such as Abasa, Amud, Zeila, Harar are evident of that. As a heritage lover of any religion, i have to agree though that the first part of the campaign was something that should have been done differently and those artistical treasures should have been left alone.

[jgztw2es]

You know what's interesting? Had this been Eritrea, these small clashes would have been described as an 'invasion' and then would have been classified as being a 'war of aggression'. More people have died between Ethiopian-Sudanese, Ethiopian-Somali, and Ethiopian-Kenyan clashes than Eritrean-Yemeni 'wars', Eritrean-Djiboutian/ 'wars', and Eritrean-Sudanese 'wars'. Double standards in media reporting is evident for anyone to see when it comes to Eritrea.

There was a reporter from my city a few days ago that asked me why did Eritrea go to 'war' with all their neighbors, and I told him the same reason why America did --To protect their interest. Then when I told him that the only wars were between Eritrea and Ethiopia, and showed him evidence to my claims he apologized for being naive and falling for media propaganda. If even reporters can't see through the media bias BS, then I don't expect the vast majority to. The mind is such an easy thing to manipulate. Again, I've said it before, and I'll say it again, there is no African nation that gets demonized by the media like Eritrea --none.

lol So It Begins...i feel sorry for somalilanders Now and into the future disagreeing with ethiopians will not be an option.
