The blood thirsty, life time dictators, mafia thugs & clowns of the AU were too busy messing around with Ethiopian street girls in the hotels of Addis Ababa (the headquarters of the AU), when Ethiopia invaded, occupied & looted the Somalia & massacred it's unarmed defenseless civilian families for more than three years. How is that these AU mafia thugs, all of the sudden earned the moral fiber, qualification & aptitude to preach to the world about Islamic or Christian insurgency, when these mafias could careless to lift a finger for a member state (Somalia) being invaded & occupied for three years by another member state (ethiopia)? What do the AU life time dictators, mafia thugs & clowns, who prosecuted & massacred more starving Africans in their own homelands than the Somali civil war, know anything about moral obligation to stand up & root for Somalia & peacefully resolve the Somali civil war, when they can not solve the wars in their own homelands? I suspect the AU mafias are paid, bribed handsomely to cover up for Ethiopian defeat & retreat from Somalia, by accusing anything & everything on sight? It's time for cry wolf,,, or they are just following orders from their former-slave-masters in America?

america should feel shame of accusing Eriteria.they dont have the moral to coment about the somali crisis.who dont know that they are the one who are behind the somali meyhem they supported ETHIOPIA in overthrowing the islamist who once bring stability in somalia
ETHIOPIA with aerial support from AMERICA carryout bloody street battle destroyed the capital displaced thousand peaple.why did the US COMMENT ABOUT THIS HUMANITERIAN CALAMATY?
What is fact is fact, can not be changed. Eritrea is involved not because it feels for the Somalies but because Afeworki wants to use the Somali cause to attack Ethiopian intrerests. He doea not care if the Somali people exsist or not. It is that simple.
There are terrorists and there are those who aid them in their muderious rampage. America or not, those who blow up innocent people must be stopped. Those who support or arm these terrorists must be eliminated. I fail to see what mr mohamedjihad is making a point to. Frankly Mr Isayass Afeworki of Eritrea is a loon. He is crezy if you are one of his people, you know, if not ask and learn.
Somalia is not and must not become a battle groung for the Eritrean agenda. The only reason Afeworki is suppling and training terrorists is because he hopes to destablize Ethiopia. He does not give a hoot to what happens to Somalians. Wake up Mo, learn from those who know the Shabian afeworki. He will use you/Somalis as he used those who handed him his independance, the TPLF the current Ethiopian leadership.
Understand what and why the region is raging with fire for... then talk.
EthioMan you are a liar. You stated "What is fact is fact, can not be changed. Eritrea is involved not because it feels for the Somalies but because Afeworki wants to use the Somali cause to attack Ethiopian intrerests. He doea not care if the Somali people exsist or not. It is that simple." First let me state the only thing simple is you. Now as to what you said, do you really believe that? Eritrean's do feel for Somali’s and what you don’t realize is that if it weren’t for the Somali’s Eritrea would never have gained its independents from the new-colonial state of Ethiopia. I know you do not know much about the history of the liberation movement in Eritrea nor do you know much about your own history. I am sure you did not even read the book written by your former master Mengistu. You are just ignorant like that. I will not even give you the honor of teaching you real facts because you are not worth it. What I will say is that your statement above makes it seem as though Eritrea invaded Somalia in 2006 in order to fight a proxy war with Ethiopia. The truth of the matter is Ethiopia invaded Somalia in 2006 with direct support from the United States of America and created the current situation in Somalia it is also a well known fact that previous to Ethiopia's invasion Somalia was coming together under the leadership of the UIC and was improving at an alarming rate. I say alarming, because it was scary for the West and by the West I also mean Ethiopia to have another African country start to assemble its own form of governance. Eritrea did not create this current situation and no one needs to supply AK-47 to Somalia they have always had ridiculous amounts of weapons and ammunitions in that country Even BBC did a story about 10 years ago about how you could by AK-47's at the local market like it was bananas.
You are the perfect example of someone who has not shaken his colonial school days. You are the opposite of a free thinker.

In an interview with Shabelle Radio & Television based in Mogadishu, President Isaias Afwerki said that Eritrea's support to Somali nationals fighting for the reconstitution of their country in particular and the Somali issue in general emanates from its legal right and moral obligation, and is not a benevolent gesture. It should also be viewed within the context of Eritrea's endeavors towards ...

Where was the AU (OAU) or the UN when Eritreans were being massacred in droves & Eritrea was being turned into Armagedeon with Western & Eastern arms supplied to Ethiopia? How is that the UN or AU, didn't had the moral fiber to stand up for millions of Eritreans & Eritrea, and now consider themselves to have legal authority, moral obligation, political clout or any form of legitmacy to preach to Eritrea & Eritreans? HELL NO,,,, From Eritreans & Somalis, the UN & AU need to learn the basic values of mankind & the honor of friendship rooted in war & hardships, molded to fruitaion to victory. Therefore, If Eritreans stood up for our Somali brothers, it's because our Somali brothers were THE ONLY ONE, who stood up with us during our 50 years war of independence. SO WILL ERITREANS!!!! THEREFORE, JUST LIKE ERITREA, SOMALIA WILL OVERCOME ALL ODDS!!! By the way, 1. Where was the AU, UN, etc when Ethiopia occupied Somalia for over three years? 2. Wasn't the governmnet in Somalia installed by Ethiopia, why do the Somalis have to live with it, when they can form one of their own on their own terms?

I also see that you are trying to equate Islam with Terrorists and you are also trying to label people terrorists in their own country. You are a backwards individual and probably from some peasant family in Ethiopia. You are no man of honor.
