The Ethiopian government is the most evil government in Africa. There is no doubt about it! One only needs to look at the Ogaden region in how they have basically eliminated ethnic Somalis and Oromos. Remember every dog has his day, and one day the Ethiopian government will get what it deserves. Injustice can not go on for long and no nation which commits injustice can survive through time.

the somali ppl don't want/need warlord tfg or ethiopa troops in their country.why can the west understand.

[Popsicle22754]

u really cant blame the africans but you can blame the crackers (like you) who give the purpose and tools of death to these people for the last 400years or so if only the white man wasnt so ignorant about what they do to a group of people for their own personal gain.

you got our fact wrong.islamic forces brought peace to mogadishu and south somalia in 6 months and the majority of the people wanted em so called democratic..it was only one warlord mohamed adid who kicked the US and Un.´the hypocrites is USA. they support warlords "terror" federal goverment. dont come here and talk shiit. US goverment is spreading terror around the world. Somalia is not your business and our concern.

[infidelguy]

The truth is that not all Somali's want the Islamic forces there. Some are being forced to convert. Some have called for help. The UN is trying to help. Simple as that. Neither the Islamic forces nor the Warlords should be in power. Let's not forget, the Islamic Forces and the WarLords actually teamed up for a while against US forces. They are all hypocrites.. it's all about control and power. The Islamic forces want to spread Islam no matter the cost. Interview the fuckers. They'll tell u that.
