I truly feel absolutely disgusted and sickened watching that unbalanced debate.

I cannot understand what was the point of having a TFG official present in the discussion when they have no relevance whatsoever.

If such a debate should take place in the future their should be an Ethiopian official to replace the TFG official as the TFG are only mere puppets of Ethiopia.

I feel as though as if i could have best represented the views of the somali liberation front much better than the present person, overall the whole debate has been extremely pro-ethiopian. :down:

We all know the truth, we all know that in reality the courts had given somalia 6 months of peace and order.

Only Ethiopia which has always had deep resentment against the somali people could not tolerate that.

What everyone has forgotten to mention in that debate is that Ethiopia has had two previous major wars with somalia and has been working hard over the last 17 years to keep somalia in a state of chaos without any strong central authority.

The fact is that the west is very happy to keep ethiopian troops in somalia, they are not blind to the sad situation in somalia, where ethiopian troops commit mass genocide in somalia.
18, 000 somalis have so far been killed by ethiopian troops and 1.5 million people have been displaced in only 2 years.

Somalia is now the worst humanitarian cries in the world, one that is far worse than Darfur.

Also Amnesty international has recently revealed a damming report of Ethiopian troops committing mass genocide against the somali population.

So may i ask everyone especially those western individuals that attacked the courts on their so called harsh laws as to why they are so silent against the Ethiopian genocide in Somalia.

Are the people better off today under a brutal ethiopian occupation?
Are they more free today to be raped by ethiopian soldiers?

The whole situation is simply unbelievable, indeed the somali people have been wronged.
