I couldn’t hold myself. :ohlord:

I’m panicking on their behalf. For every exerpt of the article posted, I’m getting more stressed. :stressed:

I’ve watched countless of documentaries about the Kafala system, read many reports, seen plenty of live footages of people being mistreated, heard about people affected irl etc. So it hits ‘close to home’ in a way. :farmajoyaab:
 
This is a mistake on Ethiopia's part and they really should reconsider.

Some death-deserving South Sudanese official tried to push this but was thankfully shut down and condemned for it

:nahgirl:
 
reminds me of Tigray begging Somalis :mjlol:

Speaking of which, I saw a pic of cagjar and the oromo regional president.

Do you know what it was about ?

Yeah. He's considered by the Amharas, to be part of Abiy & his 'evil' regime targeting them, and siding with Abiy in the 'Amhara genocide' :damedamn:

It didn't help that Cagjar and Shemelis Abdisa (Oromia president) met twice in the last two weeks, in Jigjiga and Dir Dhaba. Cagjar only got himself to blame :lolbron:
 
The neftegnas are begging for a Somali-Amhara alliance. You on board? :hemad:
They can do one :camby: The sheer audacity to cling onto us in their time of need is shameless after the long history between us.

Niggas cut down their own highlander xabashi cousins so Oromos could consolidate power but want an alliance with lowlanders who they've put in this position in the first place

I know that's right. Let them lay in the bed they made, perfectly fitted for themselves. :silanyolaugh:

We're not going to be used and abused like a ragtag, whenever we fit into their agenda. Only to be dumped later on. :fittytousand:

They've burnt all bridges with all of the major ethnic groups. They're going to have to look for yaryar people, for sympathies.:zhqjlmx:

Just because people in desperate circumstances are go there and are taken advantage of, doesn't mean that we should provide a legal avenue with the same end result?!?! We should instead discourage them and make sure that they don't end up there in the first place.

In fact, I'm not against people working abroad and in the Middle East for that matter. But unless the kafala system is reformed, we shouldn't proactively facilitate this.



He deserved whatever outrage his actions caused. HSM is the same person who denied any abuses was inflicted on foreign maids in KSA. With this mind and him being in a position of authority; are you expecting people to be silent? :draketf:
hes supporting because hes a supporter of hsm who tried to do this in his previous term. also hes a HAGist. no need for a debate.

That's unlikely to happen. Amharas have established a foothold into that place, so deep that the locals have de-facto accepted them as a remnant of a 'former' imperial dynasty. :damn:
The collapse of the Emirate of Harar and the usurpation by Amhara was partially our fault. It's a damn shame knowing we could've possibly prevented that or made it less of the Amhara dominion that it is now

This is an excerpt about the state of affairs in the later years of the reign of the last Emir Abdullahi Ibn Mohamed 2 years before the Emirate collapsed in 1887 and the battle of Chelenqo between Harari troops and Menelik's army.
A bloody conflict broke out during November 1885 between the Somali 'Issa and the Gadabursi about control of the trade routes between Harar and Zeila. Twenty were killed during the fighting, and the security condition on the routes was severely weakened. Thus, the emir did not control the regions near Harar. The Somalis were not Abdullahi's reliable allies, and soon they became a severe danger to his reign with-in Harar. Unlike the Egyptians, 'Abdullahi was unsuccessful in his bid to buy the loyalty of the Somali tribal leaders, and he did not possess the kind of military might required to bring them to heel.

This is new to me. I knew that the 'enemies' of the Emir were Menelik/Xabashis who aspired to annex Harar, Oromos who oftentimes raided the town, and the Europeans living there who he viewed as being in cahoot with Menelik and the possibility of an Italian take-over (& obviously the Egyptians). I thought that they contributed to his weakened rule, but us Somalis?!?! :kodaksmiley:

This proves that fumbling the bag ain't new to Somalis. But instead, we fumbled our fate away to the Xabshis. What a tragedy nevertheless. :kanyehmm:
