In the first place, I don't think it is proper that the three top Somali leaders come to "welcome" the Ethiopian FM all the way from Mogadishu to Baidoa.

Second, it seems that it is the president that doesn't cget along with the rest of his colleagues.

Third, if the Ethiopian generals are slapping on the face of the Somali president what more shall we wait?

Truly speaking it is difficult to say the TFG of Somalia is a government at all. At present there is no legitimate government in Somalia. What is legitimacy mean? Does it mean what USA says legitimate is legitimate. The majority of the Somalia population doesnot accept the TFG as their government. So bringing all Somalia parties (no exception) into negotiotion table and removing the Ethiopian Army from Somalia Soil is the only means to end the crisis in Somalia.

Who is to blame for the killing of the Somalis? I am sick and tired of reading this phrase in all westren and thier collaborating news agencies " The insurgency has killed more than 6500 people and displaced about 60% of Mugadishu's residents". WHO killed people? The Ethiopians? or the resistors? We all know who invaded Somalia, and Who has the artilary guns, tanks, and katusha Rockets. Not only they have these weapons, but they used them intentionaly, willingly, and eagerly to kill, wound, and displace as many people as they can. So stop using such stupid, unfounded phrases which blames the victims of the war. All Somalis are in this fight for thier lives, country, and for thier freedom. So stop copying AP, AFP and other westren news agencies who were created to mislead, the international opinion on sensetive issues such as ours.

As an Ethiopian, I believe the FM is in Somalia to be a participant concerning the Ethiopian Army that is in Somalia helping the Somalee people and also to look after the long term interest of Ethiopia and the region. Call it what you will but if you have an ounce of self conciousness and love of Africa, you would have known that it is indeed a good thing for the Somalee people to work with Ethiopans rather than our cousins in the middle east or Far easterners (China, Pakistan and the like). Trust me, they will eat your land and people alive. So wise up and get your house in-order. Ethiopians are your brothers and not your enemy.

the problem with TFG is that it is not an independent intity from Ethiopian government.therfore it is difficult for any leader of TFG to decide what is good for Somalia.every time that important issue is discussed F.M of ETHIOPIA wHOULD COME AND TELL THE SOMALI LEADERS WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO.Therefore no use to have TFG Ethiopia is the mastr in somalia as long as its millitary forcs are in somalia.
