Hello Alemayehu G. Mariam,
The article, “The end of Pax Zenawi in Somalia” is very well-written and free from bias. The author proved to a have a deep knowlegde of the people, history, and current situation of the Horn of Africa. Wow. I was astonished about your wisdom and truth and far-sightedness. There a saying in somali culture, let me translate in English although it is akward in english “A big sheep eyes doesn’t see the sky until slaughtered”. Melezanawi, like you said will not leave Somalia until he taste a painful defeat.

What Meles Zenawi is forgetting is that the West is using him like a string puppet. If I remember correctly, I seem to recall a certain Donald Rumsfeld visting Baghdad, and warmly greeting Saddam Hussein, while at the same time encouraging him to invade Iran. And then I remember the same Rumsfeld ordering his execution two decades later. Today, Zenawi might be the darling of the West, but one day, they will discard you like a cheap prostitute. Someday you will be the one being executed.

Hello Gentleman,
I agree most of what this writter wrote about Ethoipia’s invasion to my country of Somalia. I have no idea how far is it true, what you are saying are correct. Is it true that the Ethiopian people are against this war? if so, why we are not in position to see demonstration in your capital, and other parts of your country on TVs against this war? The idea of laballing someone who is fighting and defending his country as “Terrorist” is not abyssinian, or Ethiopian idea, its “christian-zionist fascist” idea from America, you repeated many times in your article this word of “Terrorist Jihadist”. Your prime minister is paid and financed by United States to use these words to justify his invasion to Somalia. Yes its a “Jihad” to liberate our country, and it is a religious and moral duty to do so wherthere you people liked it or not. Again, if its true, that you Abyssinians want to leave our country, as i understand from your article, my advise to you is, do it quickly before it is too late, save your young men your prime minister is sending to their death into Somali soil…Thank You

There is one thing the Professor have forgotten and that is West’s involvement in all of the wars that Somalis and Ethiopians’ fought in the 20th and 21st centuries. The West were actually pulling the strings behind the scene.

In 1977, the West encouarged Siad Barre to invade Ethiopia. The encouragement was done through the Saudis and Egyptians. The West was encouraging him to grab Ogaden from Ethiopia. He was also promised massive economic aid.

In December 2006, they encouraged and supported militarily Zenawi to invade Somalia. The West encouraging him to get rid of the Islamic Courts Union ancd they would alleviate some of the diplomatic pressures that he were facing from us. They were also promosing that they would provide him an access to the Sea. The current US Under-Secretary of State for African Affairs Jendayi Frazer told the current TFG President Abdullahi Yusuf and TFG Parliament Speaker Adan Madobe that it is not possible that 7Milyan Somalis have the largest Ocean in Africa where 80 Milyan Somalis do not have access to the Sea.

However, the West has an end game, to keep both countries, Somalia and Ethiopia, weaker. The Horn of Africa region is kept as a reserve for Western economies and the West has the intention of keeping that way until the oil in Middle East runs out and util the populations of both countries are accepting subordination!

What a great and well reasearched and thoroughly presented article by Alemayehu G. Mariam.
To mr Melez(Moneyhead)Zenawi.We the sonsofSomaal, the freedomsfighers will not let you go even if you try to make a cut and run. Zenawi mark my word when I say that within a short time your army will be complete distroyed and You your self will ethier be exale our beheaded by the United Somali Islamic movement. The short story is Zenawi that either you win and take somaliya is not possible or we The somali people come and taken Ogaden/Haud/Harari back to Somalia. We let Oromaia and Afar independent states and then we take your Head back to Kismayo and throw it to the Dogs as the time Of Imam Ahmed Gurey. History is repeaten it self and Once again We are Winning.
United Adal Of Somalia.

Proffesor, in due respect to you and your academic skills your repeated articles and comments about the ruthless thug of the horn of Africa are accurate, were accurate, and continues to accurate; however, isn’t true the killers of the Ethiopian people are not weyanes but the masters of weyanes- – THE WESTERN DONORS THAT HAVE KILLED ETHIOPIANS FOR THE PAST 60 YEARS OR SO AND CONTINUE TO DO SO IN THE NAME OF AIDING and ABAiTING ETHIOPIA. These aids are the main weapon of Ethiopian peolple killer; Haile Selasie practice it, Mengistu mastered it, and the weyane thug iplemented it in a full fledge- -kill, kill, and kill. My point to your dear professor is that no matter what you say about Meles or his mafia family the killing of Ethiopian people is what they do for a living and as long as their is rewards and salaries I don’t believe there is a stoppage to the slaughtering of the Ethiopian people. Thank you
