Shilling,
We are beyond the point of any peace talks with the TFG. The level of destruction, death, and carnage is too great. There is nothing left in Xamar to make peace over.
The TFG is on its last legs. It is a dying horse kicking up a storm. The ARS grows stronger day by day and the ranks of the Opposition grow by the minute.
Abdullahi Yusuf does see this war in the prizm of 1991. He has boasted on many occasions to his kinsmen that he is avenging 1991. His hate for Hawiye is well known and he relishes what Ethiopia is doing to Xamar and its peoples. He has a personal vendetta against Hawiye and is using the TFG/EThiopia to get revenge.
So when Ethiopia leaves, the TFG collapses, the birds will come to Puntland to roost.
