Somalia gave support to Meles Zenawi too. The Eritrean government and the Eritrean people do not give a flying fock about somalis man. Those habesh people are closer to each other than they are to you. Somalis need to solve their problem and stop being played like tricks by poor third world countries.

Spot on! Have Eritrea helped us the 16 years that preceded the occupation? haven't they watched us from the Sidelines? Have they ever tried to mediate the warring clans? have they helped Somalis financially? have they fck?

They are just in for the money and want to challenge the Ethiopians for the crown of being the super powers of East Africa. We all should Unite and kick both of them out, I know we are capable of we Unite

[gobdoon]

I agree they are using the situation and their support is halfhearted,they even presured people they are using in Asmara not to go or take part the meeting in Asmara,but I think those people are finished and TFG should talk people fughting inside Somalia like ALSHABAB.
