Lol Because in 2006 they could not control half of Mogadishu, how will they control the country? Ethiopia was defeated by Eritrea in 1991which is 6 million today.

Are you suspecting that ethiopia wants to invade somalia?

 

[Canuck]

Ethiopia could not even protected herself from South Sudan repels http://www.presstv.com/Detail/2016/04/16/461109/Ethiopia-South-Sudan-Gambella-Jakaya/

If Meles zenawi was still alive, then I don't think Somalia would exist

Somali soldiers never desert, compared to other countries, watch the film black hawk down, look at Ross Kemp Piracy, Somalis never give up, they'll fight till death.

Europe and America control the world. If Ethiopia were to outright annex Somalia it would not get any international aid and it would be blocked from all kinds of important institutions. The days of annexing countries are over. Perhaps only Russia or China could get away with doing moves like that.

Even if Somalia and Ethiopia started invading each other, no one would give a shit, African countries are looked down upon.

They would care as trillions worth of trade passes the seas around Somalia. It's in their best interest for a peaceful Horn of Africa.

No, they will care only about the sea trade trade and make sure nothing effects it.

 

[Bahal]

No need to formally invade when the "presidents " of -Land and -State flock to Addis Ababa at a moment's notice.

The West has no interest in an already strong state, by African standards, like Ethiopia having 3,000 km of coastline frontage on the Indian Ocean. Ethiopia would become so strong, they would go on to threaten countries like Uganda and Kenya, destabilizing the region. I fully believe that the Italians and the British saved us from being subjugated by Menelik. If they had come 30 years later in 1915, for example, he would have already taken over places like Godey and Hiraan. Thank god for he Italians and the British, they saved us from the same fate as the Oromo.

If they care about it, they would solve the Pirates and make Somalia safe and stable.

Please read about Somalia and Ethiopia history in the dervish era Ethiopia failed 3 times to invade Somalia even with the help of British and Italian

 

[Canuck]

[King-of-GODEEY]

Ethiopia can never invade and take Somalia by force but it can do what it's doing now and install stooges all over the country and control indirectly
