Dears, this all accusation is enough let’s examine our views
in the eyes of a non- blinded person.
I am tired of the playing an anti-government games.
What the Ethiopian Government did was for the good of
the two nations.
It was one of the most humanly deeds for me.
What will Ethiopian government benefit on going to war with
Somali; obviously nothing.

Meles is truly a sick individual. He remains America’s pawn. He thinks he is helping Somalia but everybody knows Somalia’s situation was one that cannot be solved with outside forces but rather by themselves. Meles himself and his regime is the terrorist. Anybody against them gets labeled as terrorists. The Oromo’s the Ogadenis and Somalis. I pray that Ethiopia can go back to the glorious country it once was and with that I hope all of the Horn of Africa countries can be stable.

hi fellow human beings. ethiopians and somalians alike. i sm a somalian who grew up with big time animosity between the 2 brotherly people of our two neighboring countries- somalia and ethiopia. i was raised in an environment whereby everybody believed that the worst enemy they have ever got were the ethiopians (habasha). if you come across an ethiopian (habasha) you either kill him or he kills. nothing else was in our minds. i was made to believe that ethiopians are not human, they are born to be evil..kill them.
1991 i came to addis and have meet so many ethiopians of every nationality, and that was the time i realised that all was paranoia. that ethiopians are really closest to us somalians, we look alike and we are perhaps originally from same people, unlike most of other black africans. so there could be no basis for the historical enemity between our two nations/people. the hatred i was harbouring has been gradually replace by feeling of friendship and understanding. meles is about to destroy all that newly acquired feeling of good will between our two people. he has occupied mogadishu without the acceptance of the general public. your military are at this point in time massacring mogadishu residents- mostly unarmed civilians. hatred for the ethiopians is skyrocketing and every somalian, wherever and whoever they are, is thinking of one thing…REVENGE ON ETHIOPIANS. WE ARE GOING BACK TO SQUARE ONE..WE GOING BACK TO 1964 AND 1977. IN PRESENT CLIMATE, CREATED BY MELES, THERE WILL UNFORTUNATELY BE MANY BITTER WARS BETWEEN OUR TWO COUNTRIES. STOP MELES BEFORE ITS TOO LATE.

Hello,everybody,
I live in Somali National Regional State, Ethiopia,
I wonder if I could say all I have in mind.
Silence has its own implication. There are so many things that make you feel sad.Our people are being paid lipservice.The leadership in the region is hand-picked,committed people who wish to work their people properly are given bad names, jailed, tortured.
Recently, hundreds of innocent people have been arrested. The majority of these people are daily labourers, they have one to take care of them in the jails, no food, no blanks, they are beaten, they are not taken to courts.
That is the tip of the iceberg of what is happening.
I hope will say more no matter who is sorry, denies, .

Yours Truly, G.Gaashaan
