The truth is everyone who is in on the war in Somalia is doing so because they have adopted to it. To them it does not seem as wild as it does to the outsiders. Am not saying such conflict is good but that one of the most effective ways to solve this problem is to stage an unreal outside threat that can bring Somalians together such as the Ethiopian threat. And it would also be great if Somalians who live abroad tried to comes to the from the different countries and solve the problem.

You spoke your mind and that is so silly you thinking is. Do you forget when European were killingin thousands and thousands by themselves, as well as Americans. Somalia will one day be the best country on Earth, I believe.I am Somalia having the best spot on Mother earth with the best climate and weather where you neither need AC not heater to condition your air would not need any one esle soon.

if Somalians would stop commenting on Ethiopians videos then maybe Ethiopians would also stop till then....it goes both ways....but i guess in your world the other guys is always the bad guy, never you right?. lol that's why Somalia is fucked up you cant compare Ethiopia to Somalia as far as stability... chewing khat and walking around with an AK on your shoulder and your fingers in your ass.... donkeys and goats walking around... Ethiopia has problems but no where near or as much as Somalia.

Why are ethiopian commentators always posting on Somali news rounds. Is it maybe because the only time you hear about them is when another famine strikes. Somali have been in a state of civil war for the last 18 years and managed to cope where there has been no external interference. Somalis are self reliant and will recover from this. To all the ethiopian viewers who have comments on Somali, I have only one for you, mind your own business.

Stupid people! Somalia want's help, but can't stand to have any one in the country to help them. Bite the hand that feeds you. So starve!
