Dear Getachew, I don't think anyone here is making a reckless judgement on this issue. Don't get me wrong. I'm not condoning terrorism. What I have a problem with is the way terrorism is being exploited by the Weyane, which is itself a terrorist regime, and the likes to achieve their narrow, self-centered and expansionist ambitions. The sad thing is that all the financial and military assistance provided to these rague regimes is being misused. It's being used to silence the oppositions. It's being used to subjugate and humuliate the people of Ogaden and Somalia. Whatever is left of it is being deposited at the Swiss Bank. If there's any thing the TPLF gangs accomplished by invading Somalia, it's that it created more extremist ideology amongst those with modern stand. Again, the People of Somalia must be allowed to come up with a common ground and reconcile. They should also say with one voice: "NO!!!" to any form of foreign interference, whether from West or East, extremists or the so called "friends" interest groups.

Majority of so called Somali Parliament members not only flee abroad but they live abroad with thier families and properties. They do not feel the pain,the sorrow, the destuctons and death of ordinary Somali. They are stooges and represent the interest of US and Europeans.
In sending arms to so called Somali government that does'nt exist even in Mogadishu, Obama an intelligent man, is behaving like Bush. There is no point in resacitating a dead person.

If we are not going to be intellectually honest and admit that there is a terrorist threat looming in Somalia then there is no sense to this discourse at all.

One cannot disregard this notion by assigning this number to a "few Somalies who sympathize with "Al-Quida"". All it took was a few people to bring down the twin towers in New York. All it took was one Somali immigrant, one Pakistani immigrant and an African American convert to hatch up a plot to destroy the Holland Tunnel in New York and the biggest shopping center in Columbus, Ohio.All it took was one Somali from Minnesota to kill and dismember close to twenty people in Somalia not too long ago.

Other objective onlookers of the drama that is unfolding in our part of the world are saying that Al Queda is slowly losing its footing in the Pakistan-Afghanistan tribal areas. The most logical place for them to go to would be nowhere but Somalia, given the present circumstances.

Please, let us be reserved from making harum-scarum judgments on the existence of Ethiopia based on the idea that in totality we should be polar opposites of the weyane regime.

Regimes may come and go, but Long Live Ethiopia.

Getachew, Why are you repeating the old and outworn Bush slogan "The Terrorists Are Coming" which the Weyane regime perfected to lengthen its power and sway public's attention from internal matters? I'm not saying that there are not a few Somalies who sympathize with "Al-Quida" But all this talk that Somalia is on the verge of becoming a safeheaven for Terrorists that Foreign figheters are coming from Afghanistan, Pakistan to train the Islamists is nothing but a propaganda to establish a "puppet" regime and subjugate the Somalie people. There should have been a way to identify the few Somalies with Alquida link and deal with them than calling on neighbouring countries to fight for them. Let's not fool ourselves. As far as Terrorism is concerned, Somalia was never a threat to Ethiopia. Of course, they had unsettled border issues. After the 2006 invasion by Weyane, things are different and Somalies have a deep anger topwards Ethiopian regime for its reckless and inhumane acts agianst its neighbour. Again,Yes!! No matter how long it should take, let the Somalie people solve their own problem.

Leave the Somali to sort out thier problems. Out side interference will only worsen the problems. Take the example of Woyanne thugs who have been in Somalia for two years and achieved nothing.

Hayfe,

Very easy to say let the Somalis solve their own problems. The problems are nor or will not be theirs only for very long. Whether we like it or not, we are neighbors and the problem is going to spill over in to our side very shortly.

Let us recognize that radical Islamists are finding Pakistan and Afghanistan too hot and confining,Therefore, they are flocking in to Somalia as we speak.

The honorable and honest question we should ask is "what should Ethiopia do?"

Why we are wondering about the situation in Somalia? But we Ethiopians have not had proper government since 1991.

Our nation is ruled by a bandit group that became blessing from former Bush administration of the 90's. Since that time on our nation is partitioned into different entities, so that the interaction of the people shall deteriorate.
This is designed and advised by foreign neo-colonialists that still have nostalgy of ruling Africa prior to Independence of 1960's.

The Woyane tribalist clique under the support of Agazi-Junta is still propagating hatred and animosity by its earth enemies of Ethiopian people such as Sebhat Nega(Woyane Guru)and his page Meles Zenawi.
Our country is pursuing a dangerous path since 1991 that violates the sovereignity and diginity of our people.

Therefore leaders of all opposition forces must unite together to save our motherland from chaos and anarchy when those tribal cliques unable to rule the country and before things become out of control.

how come none of these mps have fled to Addis? Is it because the Ethiopian embassy in Mogadishu would'nt issue them with visas.

That sociopath Meles probably try to save Somalia by sacrificing non-woyanee soldiers to get more money from EU and US.
