Hello Brothers and Sisters,
Look at what Ethiopia is doing to Somalia. Ethiopia has always been againest the UNITY of Somalia. The World community has ignorantly gave Ethiopia the responsibility to bring peace to Somalia. But all the way, since the beginning of Somalia's predicament, the Ethiopian government has been working, underground, to divide Somalia. Ethipia has been claiming that it is working to bring peace in Somalia for years now. But look at what they have brought and worked for (look at below quoted news, Ethiopia is trying to encourage the division of Somalia ). Ethiopia is at the moment working hard to distrupt what Djibouti has so far succeeded to bring. If it was not for Ethiopia, Somalia would have long been in peace and unity. Ethiopia is distablizing the whole region, Somalia, kenya, Eritrea etc. May Allah protect Somalia and give what Ethiopia deserves.Somaliland Seeks Economic Ties With Ethiopia

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
A high-level delegation of break-away Somaliland led by President Ibrahim Igal, is in Addis Ababa to explore trade and economic ties with Ethiopia.
Somaliland's foreign minister, Mohammed Nur, told journalists in Addis Ababa Friday that the delegation came to Ethiopia to brief the authorities on what Somaliland could offer in terms of trade and economic ties.
He stated that Somaliland's Berbera port has "a large capacity, including oil storage facility" that Somaliland is ready to share with Ethiopia for its import-export trade, he added.
Nur reiterated that breakaway Somaliland was not interested in reviving the unity of Somalia.
"We have no contact with the recently elected government of Somalia following peace talks in Djibouti, and have no desire to do so in the future," he emphasised.
He stated that Somaliland was doing well on its own and has no desire to tamper with the safety and tranquillity prevailing in the country by getting involved in Somalia politics dominated by rival war-lords.
Nur said that the Somaliland delegation seeks to conclude "a Memorandum of Understanding" on trade and economic relations during the current visit.
The delegation, comprising eight ministers, including those of foreign affairs, trade and transport and communications, arrived in Addis Ababa Wednesday night.
