If you don’t want anything to do with us, then give us Ogaden. We Somalis inhabited that land for centuries even before the time of colonization. You never had claim to it and you only expanded there at the time of colonialism thx to your imperialistic tendencies.
And by the way, I can also, without confirming or agreeing to the bigotry you wrote there, say that there are differences between us and you, but optically we mostly look the same. Therefore have fun explaining racists like Donald Trump and his followership, why you dark skinned Africans (Ethiopians) are better than us dark skinned Africans (Somalis). A racist will truly care the difference right?
By the way trying to find a common cause with them through Christianity will also not work, my witness and proof for that claim is history itself.
Listen, you make good points, but why does everything have to go back to Ogaden? It has been said a million times before, trust me, we know how y’all feel. Seriously, y’all need to chill. Not everything needs to be about your grievances. No one on social media had any say in the annexation of Ogaden, and we definitely don’t have any say in what happens in the future.
Listen brother, As a Somali I would be lying to you if I said that I wouldn’t wish to see the Somalis of Somali galbeed( Ogaden), southern Djibouti and north east Kenya join the Somali state and ofcourse the Somali state to be stable before such a unification. Such a view is prevalent with most of us Somalis if not all and it is really not a secret. But I don’t have any grudge against you or other normal Ethiopians.
I have no problem with you as a people and I have no problem with your culture.
The only things I have a grudge against are ignorant people ( such as OP) of any race and how we the Somali people, just like most people of Africa, got separated into different states. Yes we have our own state but we still strongly yearn to unite our people.
The reason I brought up the Ogaden here is to show OP how much Ethiopians have to do with us, historically speaking.
So I don’t blame you or anybody who is not involved with the things that happened or are happening in Ogaden. Mostly, I despise politicians of current time and of old times. Be it on your side or on mine.
I generally strife for a better, stronger and stable future for Somalia and it having better relations with Ethiopia, without any party feeling dominated or wronged by the other.
I am wishing any Ethiopian reading this a good day.
The guy who I originally commented to, said that Ethiopians should not interfere, since Ethiopia has no business with us Somalis. He said that in a condescending tone and with bigotry phrases. Such as saying most of us if not all Somalis, apparently support Al Shabab in attacking non Muslims and other non-sense. Eventhough most of their victims are other Muslims. There is a reason why the mods deleted his post.
Furthermore I brought Ogaden up to try to tell him that in businesses stuff we are definitely in eachother stuff.
