BUT THE writer is a somali, who is obviously biased, and what sources did he cite? impartial/non-biased sources?
was his report balanced? did he report on the liyyu forces who were raiding, raping, and killing, oromos, for YEARS UPON YEARS, before any oromo got angry enough to seek revenge?!
both sides, as i said, are not completely innocent, but let's not pretend that abdi illey and tplf aren't the ones who made this worse.
any border dispute can be settled peacefully if these two, abdi illey and tplf, are not involved. the average somali and oromo can easily come to the negotiation table, with their elders, as they have done before, and settle things.
calling oromo expansionists exposes your hypocrisy because history itself attests to the fact that the somali expansion was the most aggressive of all the cushitic speaking people's expansion. you even tried to use somalia's governmental armed forces, in the late 1970s, to expand your land well beyond somali inhabited territories within ethiopia.
somalis even brag about expanding and pushing oromo, afar, bantus, etc, out of their lands, yet cry and throw a fit, if they **feel** the same treatment is given to them, how is that NOT hypocrisy?!
