you se bro, difference between me and you is, ethiopia is not a treat to me nor does it want my land, Ethiopians historic aim was always access to the sea, the nearest acces to the sea in terms ofEthiopian highland is in north western somalia.
here is a emperor menilik outlining his policy
"Towards the east are included within the frontier the country of the Borana Gallas and Arussi country up to the limits of the Somalis, including also the Province of Ogaden .
To the northward the line of the frontier includes the Habar Awal, the Gadabursi, and Essa Somalis , and reaches Ambos"
Formerly the boundary of Ethiopia was the sea. Having lacked strength sufficient, and having received no help from Christian Powers, our frontier on the sea coast fell into the power of the Muslim-man.
At present we do not intend to regain our sea frontier by force, but we trust that the Christian Power, guided by our Saviour, will restore to us our sea-coast line, at any rate, certain points on the coast .
if you look at the map you will see why Ethiopian always valued your land, infect when Ethiopians say Somalis were part of abyssinia, there is some trut to it because the isaaq terrotory used to come under Abyssinian Ethiopian rule from time to time.
ethiopian where always ready for land for land deal
1- The Ethiopians came up with a proposal that if a corridor to the sea , to the port of Zeila in British Somaliland, could be given to Ethiopia , they would in turn , be prepared to cede to British Somaliland part of the Ogaden in exchange . They said that Ethiopia was ready to convene a conference on Lake Tana and to have a Boundary Commission
Ethiopia would be compelled in the interest of her own self-preservation to build up armed forces with funds she would otherwise devote to the progress of the people of Ethiopia, Eritrea and Somaliland
that why you where running towards koonfur in 1960 because you knew brittian didn`t build you a state nor a millitry force and brittian moved british somaliland capital from berbera to hargeisa a indefensibale erea from ethiopian garrisions in jijiga, infact brittiian put idoor on a plate for ethiopians to grap, just like ethiopian to eritrea in the 50s.
the reason you lot where running towards koonfur was never out of love but as a self preservation, but tim have changed koonfur is maing deals with ethiopia left and right
The reason you are supporting ONLF is because in your mind ONLF is seen by ethiopia as a ogadeni and as long they fight you are a ally of ethiopia but as soon the fight stops you will be made redundant, and your share price in the horn of Africa political stock exchange will plummet which wil make you up for grabs for pennies
The problem that is hindering Ethiopian Somali relations is ethnocentric nationalism on the part of the somalis.
when prof cali khalif ghaleir made peace with ethiopia hargeisa shook to the core because everbody knew, dhulbahante is a natural ally of ethiopia, their is no reason for dhulbahante to go against ethiopian interest.
makes you smile aint it
