 I wouldn't call the Ethiopian government "wolves." Puppets and jealous blood-thirsty war mongers YES. It's sad how we Somalis cannot come together, for once, and stand up for what is right. I guess a lot of people have been brainwashed.

 Mr Gaildoon, you are speacking from both sides
of your mouth.  On one han,d you lament the arrival of
the Ethiopians.  On the other hand you state that
the UIC 'provided MELES with a pretext to invade'.
Where the hell were you and others when the UIC
destructive script was played in front of our eyes?
Did you or your friends condemned the UIC for their
dangerous suicidal path to death and destruction?

Kucaday'ye

 Mr. Gaildon chin up Brother, and do something constructive. You seem to take pride on historical solution via violence. Face it, the IUC had no long term solution for our people and nation, and they were run, funded, etc. by others' doctorine and vain worldly desires not free from qabil dominance. What really brought down the IUC is nothing other than themselves. They were able to rejoice Allah's Nasr, victory, restore order, and so on. Over night they started going down, and only the day after their members humiliated pious folks in Brava at Shaykh Nureyni Maqaam.  Whipping elderly pilgrims and destroying the cloth covering the wali's tomb, with the words, 'La ilaaha, ila Laah, Maxamadda RasuuluLaah'.  Allah, SWT, said, whoever comes against one of my saints, I shall wage war on them. Your ruling and dominating me has come to an end, you had 16yrs, this is the first real break I get and it is today that I know you more. Mercano.

 The Tigrian Trojan Horse.
To the unintiiated observer, the route of the ICU rag tag army during the last week was a display of Tigrian military prowess. To us who are more dicerning and more honest, the battle was nothing other than an unfair contest between the only super power , United Air Force, and a well motivated but ill-equipped Somalis.
Ladies and gentlemen, the Tigrian dwarf was only a wooden trojan horse consealing the mightly legions of the united airforce.
Any one reading between the lines of the reporting can fail to notice the fingerpronts of the US air force. Washington post report on Dec. 28 has quoted a medic saying the ambulance were spared the 5000 pound bombs.The tigrians do not follow the genva convention. They specialize in massacring innocent civilans in eriteria.
and can not fail to notice the fingerprints of the only existing superpower in the world today.

United States air force used every weapon in its arsenal to defeat a tribal army. This was a battle between a David and a galiath. Unlike the biblical miracle, David has lost and galiath prevailed.

there is no shame in that.  We shall prevail in the long run

 i utterly agree with the writer that Somalia is under occupation and brutal one. anyone who rejoices ethiopian invasion will miserably regret sooner or later. it is ethiopian interest to keep Somalia divided and under warlords ' rule. this honeymoon between ghedi and Yusuf will come to an end sooner than expected, and one of them will be illiminated, but who. Melez has practically become the prime Minister of Ethiopia and President of Somalia. Ghedi and Yusuf are his administrators. It will be difficult to make them leave Somalia. I am taken aback by the irresponsible comment of Abdullahi yusuf that he will bring UIC leaders to justice. The only crime of these noble people is being good Muslims and bring law and order to Somalia. And the crime of Abdullahi Yusuf and his cronies is war crimes and crimes against humanity. We will see where it ends.

 Salaam to all,

It's not the Moment to speak about Hawiye, Darood, and Isaaq, and Other tribes.

You people when will you stop this crap, will you die as a nation while uttering sick tribal rhetoric?

Unbelieveable I'm Somali, I'm Darood, and those who Know my comments know I'm extremely Nationalistic and Against the Ethiopian Invasion of My country!

Just like the writer I hurt, and I hurt, and I can never stop the pain. I'm a Puntlander but I cannot stand evil, as Cabdullaahi Yusuf, Cadde(Madoobe) Muse, are nothing short of evil. Geedi is an Ethiopian shoe shiner!

I Must repeat, please leave behind your filth (i.e. Tribalism), and realise Mogadishu where Ethiopians have never seen before is about to be visited by the Blood sucking filthy Meles!

Defend your Motherland or become extinct, that's the only two unfortunate options facing us as a Nation!

I HURT I HURT I HURT!

But the Spirit of the Somali is never Broken, they cannot control our country with mear even 100thousand, which is all they got as a country and cannot even use it all in one place. Watch as Somalis realise that to the Ethiopians and to the World we are the Same and the virtual lines of Darood and Hawiye, and Isaaq that were used to divide us are not seen by any other than our feeble, weak minded xoolo!

 I am ashamed to know that some of you living in the west are not living in a reality! Have you all realized Somalia now wants stability? Please support the country and be positive.

It is mind baffling and sad to read all your posts that based on negativity! We are the Somalis in the (west) let down our nation because we live in the American dream and tired of it in reality! However, we get a glimpse of peace some of you want to ruin that! Because your qabiil is not running the country….Somali men failed this Nation and you are still doing it…

I just want to let you know, none of my qabiil or cousins are member of that government but all I want or wish to see is a peaceful Somalia and its people living peace and harmony again!

 Mr. Gaildon, it seems that you are shedding a crocodile tear. What Somalia are you lamenting for? The Somalia that I knew has already died 16 years ago when genocide was committed against the Somali citizens by other Somalis. What did you said about it?

It had died when Mogadishu conquerors failed to execute the terms of agreement with the other Somali communities and groups. It had died when the Hargaisa separatist thugs deported the Somali citizens of Baydoa origin shipping them out of the North like a flock.

I am not ready for Ethiopian occupation and I will fight them if they overstay their need, but I am telling you Mr. Gaildon, you are very early to say what you said about the presence of the Ethiopian troops and not saying one single bad word about the Somali faction that has been denying the peace in Somalia for the last 16 years including the courts leadership.

The Ethiopians along with the TFG gave their lives to win this war. They pushed their way to Mogadishu and so far did their job in very decent way. I don’t see why anyone should pull the sleeves and greet them with insult. Just wait till they do mistakes if you are so willing to attack them.

For me, I am staying positive till I see otherwise and I believe the majority of the Somali people are with me on this.

Be nice Mr. Gaildon.

 I have a hunch. My hunch is that Abdullahi and Gedi will in the long run try to shake Ethiopia's patronage and try to run things their own way. Ethiopia will then get enraged and start kicking asses. Guess whose asses will be kicked, none other Yussuf's and Gedi's. Then they will have lived true to the Englishman's proverb, what comes around goes around.

 Tanzania was invaded by IDDi Amin who wanted to take Kagera and reunited with the other part of kagera in Uganda. Therefore the two of them can not be compared. Tanzania never went there to install anyone it just happened. So don't you try to compare Tanzania war with Uganda to Somalia V Ethiopia. My question is..why all the warlords have runned to control the same things they did before they got kicked out by the UIC. Its the end of Somalia as a state. Inshaalah when the UIC comes back again , as a somalilander i would like them to delcare independece of the Southern Somalia and no more ...send Abdullahi back to Bossas0

 The only Somali people who had anything good in them are the same people you used Meles to drive them from their homes. Granted, they made some tactical mistakes, and I think some other guys who had different agenda influenced their stand, but they are the best and brightest that the Somalia has to offer. Alas! they are gone and while Meles and his stooges are chasing them in their home turf, the rest of you are either spineless who cannot stand for what is right, or you as you have done 10 generations talking about ignorance and how proud you are while you cannot even feed your family whether it is back home or anywhere else in the world. Pathetic people!!

    Yousef2 @ 12/29/2006 1:23 AM EST
 Mr. Gaildon, do you remember that Tanzania assisted in ousting Idi Amin? Did Tanzania colonize Ugandha? No. Ugandha today is one of the few democracies in Africa. I wish Somali intellectuals try not to be doom-sayers. There are many possibilities, both good and bad. Let's hope and pray for the good. Nobody can tell the future. All I can say is: After 16 dark years, today we have a chance to unite, forget the T..word and rebuilt our country. If the experience of 16 years of unimaginable suffering still cannot remove the t.. word from our minds, then all I can say is: God help Somalia.

 Anybody who rejoices Ethobian forces in Mogadisu must be stubid. The people who brought Ethobia are making big mistake as Ethobia will never leave Somalia. I am very sad seeing Ethobia forces invading Somalia. Somalis will hold accountable both UIC and TFG for giving Ethobia the opportunity they never dreamed off. What kind of government will this be who brought all the previous worlords who held Somalis hostage for 16 years.

 I wish Icould comment, but I cannot.
This is not spirit of a defeated nation but an exterminated one.
We are suffering from a terminal illness but we even dont know that we are sick
trying to forget it by using narcotics such as Khat.
People are celebrating to be able to eat khat and their lose of total Identity.
We should only turn to Allah more, that all I can say.
