YES Somalians are capable of defending their country, we need to help them unit their country, Ethiopia has to be removed from Somalia's internal affair.

[@eritr]

We heard him saying Ethiopians were effective when were united, yes they were effective in being a loyal servant to others agenda in the region. If a united Ethiopia is a concern to East Africa community but a blessing for others to spread their influence in the region, we neighbors know what to do to keep our neighborhood peace, it is not about others, it is about us people in East African communities.

Worry about Ethiopia, not Somalia, Ethiopia will soon be gone. We, East African community believe that Ethiopia had and has been the reason for destabilizing East Africa by being a puppet of other powers. We, the East African communities know who is being this food aid dependent Ethiopia, unless Ethiopia stop disrespecting its neighbors, neighbors can play a vital role in making sure the plan drafted and given to Ethiopia is meaningless. Ethiopia will be gone.
