- 1. Ethiopia invaded ONLY Gedo Region---throughout the entire civil war in the 90's. Ethiopia invaded in 1996 and withdrew in 2001 without gaining control over the Administration.
- 2. We now know the British gave the entire territory of Jubbaland to Italy---- after the failure of the "Marehan Offensive" which tried to disarm Marehan. They ceded the territory to "remove" them instead from the rest of Kenya Colony.
Now Kenya spent 10 years rearing this Jubaland bufferzone and instead of learning from history, repeated the same mistake.
Today all legitimacy is over for Jubbaland as it exists. Kenya has self-destructed her name, reputation, and her standing in Somalia, the region, and internationally as it relates to her place in the region as a positive force.
And instead of encouraging good intention in Somalia to allow for mediation in the Ocean Case, Kenya has hardened our hearts and minds radically against any desire to talk.
Was it worth it Kenya?
This election will happen sooner or latter, but when it is over history will say Kenya had already lost an entire 10 years long effort and objectives by now.
And she lost it because the expediency of a temporary moment in time misled her to repeat the same historical mistake of trying to sideline Marehan in Jubbaland.
Kenya, you should have learned from all the British Intelligence Reports you inherited at Independence.
"We know", whose we? If you're included with them, i doubt they know much history. 
but don't mind me. i like foreign interventions more than American neoconservative thought leader Bolton
