So what is the strategy at play here?

Yes am from jabuuti.

The biggest problem is ...can one be objective enough to accept the criticism or argument of the other side if their valid? And the sad truth is NO.

But I stand by my point and according to my understanding of things and the debate between you and yusuf.....north...south....politics. The most striking difference is attitude.

Attitude about ones own ability to resolve his problem without outside help as well as the wisdom and faith to follow through.

[theyuusuf143]

One recurring theme and the most striking difference between the two side (in this case yussuf and sahal - north and South) is the attitude of the two parties....

The south seemed to resign oneself to outside powers and their influence....while the North believe even against all odds they can shape their future and carve their own path.

My two sumuni.

lol bc they haven't got the chances to get adopted but its the south who's resisting the foreingners more than any somali region starting from the colonial era!

No single southren tribe has ever made treaty with the colonial powers! FACTS!

Your from djibouti I guess

Do you know the algerian history and ahmed bin billa?

He's a great man who won the war against france but he was forced to accept the french language as the countrys language when france was departing

The same way, we r forced to accept amisom when ethiopia was departing!

not all colonials needed to make treaty with the natives italy was one of worst colonizers. british was bit different they offered protectorate and we agreed simply because it was not effecting our mainland just the coast and gulf of berbera/eden. no one forced you to accept amisom my friend and you don't even need them. all you needed is less100 million dollar per annum to cover the running cost of the somali national army units based mainly in banadir region and other important places like kismayo baydhaba and beledweyn.it could have been more effective to use somali clan militias against alshabab then make those militias as regular army members in their respective regions. why you need amisom Djiboutian army in hiiraan while thousands of xawaadles are ready to join the SNA ? all they need is less than 150 dollar per month per soldier.

by the why I was talking about IF tplf loose control its hard to create an other addis based centralized government in ethiopia. you even agreed that the tigres will most likely declare independent if amhara take over power. its also very possible that the well organised other states like the somali afar and the oromos will take the same route. I dont thing you disagreed my point that ethiopia is in fact a divided country. the question is when and how will TPLF loose control ? that film is coming soon and I hope you will be alive to watch it live on aljazeera insha allah.
