OG would never travel through another man's land without prior consultation with the owner of the land. With recent activity across the Ogadeen region and ethiopians blocking all transit points between somalia and Ogadeen perhabs the ethiopians were aware of the eriteria plan?

Eriteria fuels every rebel group against the stability of ethiopia, OLF, ONLF, shabab, XI, Afar, etc. To which ethiopia responds by tackling each group as a seperate and issolate issue. Eriteria itself is simply a vassal for Egypt. Solution Ethiopia should just bomb Asmara and peace would return to the horn of africa.

How on earth does Eritrea have the capability to fund all these organization while itself having a high military budget. Why don't you mention Ethiopia funding Eritrean rebels and opposition groups?


Pure propaganda against Eritrea. No solid evidence of Eritrea involvement in Somalia and Ogaden has ever been produced. Where were these 2000 Eritreans troops stationed with UIC in 2006? They were never to been seen.

If anything, the Ethiopian government is the sole reason for so much instability in the Horn not Eritrea, remove of the TPLF will usher in a new wave of peace and prosperity in the horn

Oxi Eriteria might gain nothing but Egypt has a lot to gain from the destruction of Ethiopia. I still think They should just pre-emptively reduce Asmara to ashes.

Eritrea doesn't want the destruction of Ethiopia but rather the destruction of TPLF. Eritrea allows Ethiopia to use any of its port but its TPLF and Meles’s pride and arrogance that gets in the way.

Egypt on the other hand would love to see Ethiopia self destruct as would all Somalis and Eritreans.

Somaliland: Up to 300 Ethiopian rebels surrounded

MOGADISHU, Somalia — Authorities in the self-declared republic of Somaliland say their troops have surrounded up to 300 Ethiopian rebels who entered the territory illegally.

Somaliland's military chief Gen. Elmi Robleh Furur said Tuesday the men were part of Ethiopia's Ogaden National Liberation Front.

He displayed weapons, military training manuals written in Amharic and Somali, and a wad of Eritrean bank notes allegedly seized from two men who had become separated from the group.

Eritrea has long been accused of financing and supporting rebels in its much larger neighbor, Ethiopia, with whom Somaliland enjoys good relations.

Somaliland has declared itself independent of war-ravaged Somalia in 1991 but is not recognized by any other state.

If they get tucked, expect every truck to and from somaliland crossing the border to be set on fire, they did that in the past.

Ethiopia is using Berbera port to Destroy Somalis and Somalis are Snitching on other Somalis Cajiib..

[Aliyyi Oromada]

Somaliland is just putting on a show for Addis ababa, who is watching them closely. Whenever fighters leave Eritrea and try to enter Ethiopia, the TPLF knows in advance (roughly the number of fighters, when they left, what time they're expected to arrive etc.). This happened to the OLF many times in the past. The problem working w/ Eritrea (other than them being kafir) is that they're penetrated by Tigrayan spies. And vice versa, because they're the same people. Many of their leaders are related, and intermarried. But whether this story is true or not, who knows. It could just be a Broadway play directed by Addis ababa, starring somaliland. (which is a common practice)

LOL

Ethiopia is no friend of somaliland for 20years somaliland has failed to secure from Ethiopia that elusive recognition which the AU members have been promising. Recognition which requires just one african AU member to endorse.

The grand scheme of things, land locked Ethiopia with a population of 90million is a potential cash cow for nations with ports and neighbouring the hungry giant.

Eriteria, Djibouti, Somaliland, Somalia, Kenya and Sudan.

90% of all their trade is currently through djibouti port. Annual turn over at the port is roughly 1.2billion dollars.

how much does somaliland take?

- Eriteria roughly 10million dollars (2009 figures) annually.

Why do Somaliland care if other Somalis use the ports, they allow Ethiopian goverment to bring weapons, food and other stuff on their port, why do they have to snitch on Somalis?

Was that a Freudian slip?

what freudian slip? you allow Ethiopians to use your port, and bring weapons that are used against Somalis, so what if ONLF does the same?

IRONm@N,

A Freudian slip is ''A verbal mistake that is thought to reveal a repressed belief, thought, or emotion''

Common sense and Practicality suggests that the idea of Somalis looking out for one another is irrational and a fiction of a by-gone era. Somaliland is followings its own interest in maintaining a productive relations with Ethiopia. Somaliland will continue to work with its Ethiopian counterpart in promoting regional security and stability.

This is a joint venture between the Somaliland Govt., Ethiopian Govt. and the the multinational corporation. This means that all stakeholders will seek to benefit. Somaliland, because of its geographical endowment, the Ethiopians because of its demand for a port and Bollore in maximising profits and ensuring the delivery of a world class port in Berbera. We now live in a globalised world and a networked global economy, countries are dependent upon each other to fulfil their interests and of course need to develop productive relations in the form of trade and diplomacy. Somaliland and Ethiopian doing business is nothing new and has actually being slowly increasing for some time now.

Mr Smith I doubt Ethiopia has any interest in regional stability infact you could say the opposite, its in their interest to have unstable Somalia and we are left alone because simply put to include us in the mix would be too much for them to take on. On the other hand its not in our interest to support groups like the ONLF who show it in action their ill intentions towards the people of Somaliland. We dont care if a million Ethiopians are killed by ONLF or a million ONLF are killed by Ethiopia its not our fight so they should both keep us out.

Somaliland forces 'surround ONLF rebels near Ethiopia' About 200 suspected rebels are surrounded by Somaliland's forces near the border with Ethiopia, a Somaliland minister has said.

Interior Minister Mohamed Abdi Gabose told the BBC the men had arrived in the territory by boat and then travelled overland to the border.

He said documents the men left behind suggest they belong to the Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF).

Somaliland has declared its independence from the rest of Somalia.

Its secession has not been internationally recognised but is far more stable than the rest of the country and in July held an election which saw a peaceful handover of power.

Mr Gabose said the armed group were surrounded in the mountainous region which borders Ethiopia and Djibouti.

The ONLF is fighting for the self-determination of ethnic Somalis in eastern Ethiopia, and has not yet commented on the allegations.

Eritrea has previously been accused of training ONLF rebels - charges it denies.

Eritrea and Ethiopia have a long-running border dispute.

Somaliland has previously helped the Ethiopian government in its fight against the ONLF.
