Embolden by the US aid and a victory over Eritrea in battlefield; Ethiopia is playing its strength to show its might by invading the country of Somalia and attacking Somalian Islamic Court which controls most of Somalia. Ethiopia entered Somalia without provocation from the victorious Islamic Court. It was the Islamic Court who routed the war lords who were battered Somalia for more than 12 years which I think is a positive development, the warlords now surrendered or retreated to the corner waiting opportune time. Ethiopia invaded Somalia alleging an “invitation” from the Somalia Interim Government roughly controls Baidowa and surrounding area without any legitimacy from the populace in general.
Somalian people went through a lot since 1991: war, famine and the breakup of Somalia into mini states. It is a country without effective government for those years but needed a strong government that could unit the country; now that role has been filled by the Court The American noise “War on Terror” gave dictators like Meles of Ethiopia an opportunity to use “Somalian Government” as a step stone to attack and weaken Somalia forever or to install pro-Ethiopian government. It is these misconceptions and miscalculations that emboldened Meles to bully Somalian people.
Somalia has a right to defend itself from aggression directed toward it. Ethiopia could have encouraged the Islamic Court to unit Somalia as the Court continue to do so thereby creating an understanding that there is no ill will whatsoever against Somalian people. East Africa is in deeper problem now because of leaders like Meles. He rejected the border demarcation between Ethiopia and Eritrea, and jumped in a barrel of mud by invaded Somalia. It is now a country totally different than I grew up in.
Ethiopia has vowed to protect Somalia's weak government against the country's increasingly powerful Islamic militia, although it denies sending troops here. On Tuesday, however, witnesses and the Islamic group said three Ethiopian troops were killed in a clash with Islamist fighters.
