SOURCE: African PathEthiopian MPs say No to saving Somalia Government
June 20, 2009 12:07 PM
According to BBC and AP, the Somalia government and parliament has asked Ethiopia, Djibouti and Kenya to send military support to save it once again. The Ethiopian government has always supported the government in Mogadishu but according to sources, many Members of Parliament in Addis Ababa have already rejected the plea of Somalia.
Most opposition MPs in Ethiopia do not want to send troops into Somalia to save the government from collapse since a central government in Somalia has never functioned. The state of Somalia was created only a few decades ago. Even during Somalia's best days under dictator Siad Barre government, his regime barely controlled more than 50% of Somali territory and he was repeatedly carpet bombing Somali towns through out his rule. The then American massive military support to the Siad regime was the only thing that sustained and emboldened it, but its collapse was inevitiable in 1991.
Sending troops is also costly financially for the already poor Ethiopia. The only worrying problems regionally are the expansionist ideology of the anti-government insurgents in Somalia (who have threatened to annex eastern Kenya and eastern Ethiopia territories) and the al-Qaida affiliated forces in that country.
But Ethiopian Opposition MPs have always supported the idea of putting troops in the border instead of sending into Somalia. Another dilemma of sending troops to help Somalia is the clan problem and the problem of pro-insurgent media in Mogadishu who are well-known for fabricating anti-Ethiopia and anti-AU propaganda. Ethiopia and other countries who try to help Somalia always risk their image being tarnished by Human Rights Watch (HRW) and other western organizations who use the propaganda from pro-insurgent media and witnesses as evidence.
However, the Meles Zenawi ruling party which holds almost 68% of parliament seats will likely accept the plea of Somalia and send troops to save Somalia government once more.
The Somalia President blamed al Qaida for the suicide attacks and for invading his country.

Re: Ethiopia says no help for somalia
I told you, the economic crisis and the baggage of having your military be killed in a foreign country is not enticing to Ethiopia now.
Kenya, Yemen and Djibouti aren't going to do anything.
The Americans might bomb some areas, but thats it.

Re: Ethiopia says no help for somalia
Kenya has everything to lose by going into Somalia. Their tourism industry, their unstable political situation, the foreign investment... they'll lose it all because these Shabaab will go to Nairobi and Mombasa and will bomb placeslover8 wrote: why? do you think kenya is too weak or pussies??

Re: Ethiopia says no help for somalia
ethiopia got humiliated and i doubt it wants anything to do with the mujahideen now.
insha'llah the mujahideen will take back ogaden from the weak ethiopian tyrannical government and free the oromos from their ethiopian enslavement.

Re: Ethiopia says no help for somalia
the reason is simple, this time USA will not pay Ethiopias cost of warfare in Somalia, because Ethiopia have been flirting with China way too much

Re: Ethiopia says no help for somalia
Why would Ethiopia come to Somalia when they were being killed left and right, puttin alot of burden on their domestic affairs. The guys that want Ethiopia to help Somalia were the ones screaming occupation, murder etc
Sheikh Sharif and Co. shouldn't have assumed responsibility when they didn't have a plan. Let the people that got plan and make tough decisions rule Somalia, not the ones that second guess each other and flip flop. I'm praying for Pres. Sharif government to work and succeed.

The cubans are the only one who know how to deal with somalis.
Just put 200 cuban troops in Somalia and Ethiopia wins.
This man supports me:

The General’s intention was to liberate and incorporate the Ogaden into the state of Somalia, and restore the national obsession of reclaiming the lost tribes of the Greater Somali nation. His invasion of Ethiopia, a nation that was never conquered or colonized by any power throughout its spectacular history that is beyond memory, turned out to be a political miscalculation of colossal proportion.
His divisions were masticated and the losses of the Somali army was enormous. From that battlefield, Somalia would never recover. The nation had suffered a national psychic injury resulting in the loss of the Somali soul.

If you think Cuba won anything from that war then you are doing wrong. The Ogaden war was between Somalis & Ethiopians. Your Cuban country was a used, continue to be used and abused.
At this point if you want to know who was the absolute winner then go ask the Ethiopians since they were the losers.
