Who told you these 94 were Xabashis?? they were somalis from the local district and yes 99% of the claim of killing "ethopian troops" by OLF is somali ethopians who have a millitia of their own to protect their clan area from the OLF. Each Somali clan has troops from their own clans to protect their area from these Hit-and-Run thugs called OLF.

For example the recent Ethopian troops that took over Ethopian-Buhoodle border few days ago were from the Gaashaamo district local troops who are 99% Isaaq. If they clash with the OLF , the OLF would argue they were Ethopian troops, and of course legally they are, but in fact they are not , they are just local armed clans maintaining the security of their zone from the terrorist OLF.

^Do you know where Malqaqa is, its a large base(Consists of three Xero) in between Jigjiga and Harar.It houses Woyane troops and not Somali militia.Plus this Somali militia you speak of rarely clash with Jabhada and when this occurs although more often these days, there been used as human shields by there Xabashi handlers who are right behind them, this is an age-old tactic.Its nothing new, plus its a good source of weaponary Somali militia are not in it for the long haul but there wage.There is communication to confirm these attacks these days, and we happen to know how it occured hating on the brave liberation will not do you any good.

As for Buhoodle the lies, they were Xabashi troops ofcoarse and they came from the Gashamo base.You cant fool us.

hanqadh,

Who told you they were Xabashi troops?? are you more informed then the mayor of Buhoodle who was interviewed on the BBC last friday? he said it ,they were all somali led by somali and they were from the clans of Gaashaamo.

And yes these troops were all somali and local, no where did the news said they were Ethopian regular, but you been Ogaadeen are blinded by clanism and i won't take your assertion seriously at all.

[LobsterUnit]

xplaya, lol. it's common for SOmali officials to downplay Xabashi troops as Somalis. Like the "mayor" is going to openly admit that they were Ethio troops. In any case,there is no difference between a Somali and an Amhara Soldier serving in the Ethiopian Army.

[QB] Troops from Somaliland and Ethiopia entered the border town of Buhodle on Saturday in a bid to beef up security in both nations as elections approach.

According to the local paper, Waaheen, Somaliland Defense Minister, Mr. Suleyman Warsame Guled told local press that troops from both countries have been deployed in a number of border towns including the town of Buhodle. The minister said the two troops would work together to maintain security in the region.

Ethiopia, who is also concern about the spread of al-Shabab and other radical groups in Somalia has since created a number of security cordons around the town. The troops are also inspecting trucks in and out of the town, while troops from Somaliland are escorting election team to the city.

Buhodle is the main town of Somaliland’s Buhodle region but the city also has large population who are opposed to the presence of Somaliland election team. The region is part of a disputed territory between Somaliland, who maintain the region falls within the 1960 pre-union borders and Puntland, who claim the region because of the tribes that inhabit in the city who are part of Puntland’s ***** family.

Somaliland troops have reportedly pushed deep into the Buhodle and Sool regions in search for an armed clan-militia who are said to be planning to disrupt the election in Sool. The troops have searched the villages of Widwid, Hidhid, Kala-baid, Dumay, Geed-dheer and Darkaynley. The armed militia are said to have fled into the bushes and the election ID cards were delivered with no incidents. The leader of the clan militia, Dr. Suleyman Ise [ Hagle tosiye], a Canadian citizen, is stranded in Buhodle town as Ethiopian troops patrol all the main roads.

Ethiopians cast their vote on the election 23rd May 2010 while Somaliland goes to the polls on June 26th.

Ethiopia said it stood ready to provide it’s troops for Somaliland if it’s stability came under threat as the two nations are linked and share a common border.

Meanwhile heavily armed troops from Ethiopia have entered Elbarde in Somalia’s Bakol region to push al-Shabab fighters back into Mogadishu and southern Somalia.

After gaining independence from Great Britain in 1960, Somailand entered unconditional union with the south (Italian Somaliland) to formed what was known as the Somali Republic. However, that union failed and Somaliland declared it’s break away from Mogadishu. It has since maintained its own peace and security while the south descended into chaos and has not had a functioning government since.

Ethiopia maintains security, trade and education ties with Hargeisa but said it wished to further the existing relations in March when Somaliland Foreign Minister met with the Ethiopian President. [/QB]

hanqadh,

I know 90% of those who writes Dhulbahnate websites they all can be heared in paltalk. give me the name of that websites and i can tell you the dude that wrote that fabrications.

If its Widhwidh news its by a dude called Haragshabeel a fadhi ku dirir compelsive lair. The BBC and VOA both interviwed the puntland mayor of Buhoodle and he stated the fact they were locall district troops from Gaashaamo region and they all somalis led by somalis and they never crossed the border.

[hanqadh]

Your not trying to convince us that the few Somali militia's created by Ina Iley, the drunken fool from dagaxbuur is based in Malqaqa a strategic base between Jigjiga and harar.Your been delusional here.

The Ethiopians themselves couldnt hold back rebuffing the attack, so who is blinded by Clan here.Im simply confirming what is already known but you been as you call your self a Kuumbo hater you cannot bring yourself to facing the truth.The actual deathtoll is higher and these were only intial reports.

94 somali militia dead Sxb I know these Militias they dont last after 5 of them drop, gods sake they are not in it to fight ONLF or Ethiopia.Somali Militia are weak and cannot defend a base, or for that fact even be trusted with a base.

Ethiopia does not keep heavily mechanised Somalis within the Somali region but if you go to Badme the corpses of Somalis in the Eritrean border are scattered everywhere.

As for Buhoodle your not going to convince us that Ethiopian troops with there heavy trucks and battle wagons were Somalis, you could argue there we Somalis among them but Ethiopia would not trust a Somali with anything more than an A.K and a few grenades.Gashamo is there base and if the reports say, they came from Gashamo then its the Woyane base in Gashamo.
