Tell em' Brother!!! Tell em'!!! Not just Kenyans and Ethiopians but also all the international community and their neighbors - the Djiboutians, the Yemenis - feel the same way you expressed in your article. There are some pigs(for the lack of a better word) in Somalia - who call themselves "Arab" and think they are tough - and believes in instability. And stability begins by forming a central government. What they couldn't comprehend is transitional government is the FIRST STEP to form a central government. Today they are fighting to destroy their T.F.G. - meaning destroy their own country. One thing is for sure - the Kenyan and Ethiopian brothers will stand together until Somalia forms a government that is CIVIL AND FRIENDLY to its neighbors. Did I say the new Somalia government MUST BE CIVIL AND FRIENDLY WITH ITS NEIGHBORS??!! AND IT'S NOT NEGOTIABLE!!! We can't afford any more animosity in this world - especially when they consume our resources and enjoy the peace and freedom we provided them. So it's very simple - recognize and respect your neighbors then you can have a country. If you wage jihad on your neighbors, you will never have a country and will never have peace as long as we(peace-loving kenyans and Ethiopians) are alive. One last question I have, where have you been all this time Mr. Kipkorir? Africa need more geniuses like you and keep writing your "straight forward, no non-sense" article. EXCELLENT RENDITION.

WE SHARE THE HATE OF PEACE WITH OUR NEIGHBOURS LIKE KENYA,WHO CAN NEVER AGREE AN ISSUE WITH OUT THE PRESENCE OF A WHITE MAN.WE DO NOT SHARE WITH OUR KENYAN BROTHERS THE HABIT OF HACKING AND KILLING WITH MACHETES.WE DIFFER ON THAT.WE SHARE OUR KENYAN BROTHERS TO STARVE.WE DONT SHARE OUR KENYAN NEIGHBOURS THE AIDS.WE ARE THE MOST FREEDOM LOVING PEOPLE ON EARTH.WE DONT LIKE GOVERNMENT,LET ALONE FOREIGN OCCUPATION OR INTERVENTION.WE HATE TAXES AND ESTABLISHMENT INTERFERING OUR LIVES. IF ARE LEFT ALONE,AND THERE WOULD BE NO ARMING OF OUR PEOPLE AGAINST EACH OTHER BY FOREIGN COUNTRIES WE WOULD BE IN PEACE.FOR KENYA ANNEXING SOMALIA..HA HA..HA..JUST PIRATES BRIGADE IS ENOUGH TO MARCH ALL THE WAY TO NAIROBI WITH LITTLE RESISTANCE FROM KENYAN ARMY. ABOU ETHIOPIA? HISTORY TEACHES US THEY CAN NOT STAND AGAINST SOMALIA WITHOUT A EUROPIAN OR FOREIGN POWER RESCUING THEM IN THE LAST MINUTE.

i dont think a country that cant even handle its own security can match to garissa let alone nairobi... if this somali guy thinks that somalia has no aids and that they dont kill each other i would invite him to watch aljazeera the muslim news tv station... oh i forgot most somalis dont have tv's let alone cable tv... i think that kenya should either invade that foresaken somali state or close our borders completely they are parasites...

I wholeheartedly agree with Modaheer291. Ethiopia and Kenya can't defend themselves from the tenacity, ingenuity and ferocity of the Somali warrior. But that is beside the point. Correct me if I am wrong, as I do not follow Kenya's politics (I admit unabashedly I could care less)they are the same folks who hacked each others heads off for an election just months back. Kenyans live in LA LA land if they think they are a nation living in peace. Underneath that seemingly tranquil surface lies a smoldering volcano about to release its energy and scald anything and anybody that comes across it. In due time Kenya will disintegrate into however many tribes call themselves Kenyans. Ethiopia is no exception. There are over 200 tribes in Ethiopia! Don't tell me they coexist peacefully. I take my Somalis any day. ONE people. ONE faith. ONE culture.

By the way to the person who left the first comment: I come from Djibouti and proud to call myself Somali. I don't agree with your premise that Djibouti and Yemen want to annex Somalia. Quite the contrary, I do believe in the SOOMALI WEYN (the 5 stars). Don't know the 5 stars? Ask someone who does as I am not in the mood to teach an ignorant hominoid such as yourself.
