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?
AU should not mind him ,how can Africa progress if we have presidents like Isaias Afrwerki,who think only about himself,he is selfish UN should listern to AU and take action so that Somalia people would be free,they have been in this situation for long .They should even stop him from traveling .
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.
