    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.

    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.

    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?
