The fighting was between Gurgura and Ciise, not Oromo and Somali as some have been reporting on social media. It started off in Melka Jebdu which is mainly settled by the Gurgura; they are not on good terms with the Ciise due to increased competition between the two clans.

The fighting in Malka Jabdu was on Saturday but there were several other incidents in Lagahare, Ashawa and Xaafat Ciise. On Monday night In Ganda Qore 2 Somalis got killed and in Xaafat Ciise several Oromo were left critical situation and hospitalised. Lagahare one young Somali was killed by oromo thugs and an Oromo elder who was one of the guys that keept the peace between the Somalis and Oromo on many occasions specially during the August clashes and was well known and liked by everyone Somali and oromo alike was shot dead by the federal security forces as he was walking back to his home from the masjid hours after violence had stopped.

The Gurgure vs ciise is a separate issue to the clashes that happened on Sunday right through to Tuesday morning when it had completely ceased.

Both are true bro. Fighting has begun with Oromos and Somalis. People in Ganda Garada(Oromo neighbourhood) have been attacked in the middle of the night for no reason. There are reports of Somalis being attacked in their neighborhoods as well.

So far only 1 Oromo has been killed, one of the qeerro organizers within the city. The TPLF are trying their best to dismantle the country, especially after the gov started to arrest a lot of their corrupted leaders who’ve stole a lot of money from the country.

For then there is no better way besides getting everyone to fight against eachother.

So the communal violence in the city has now become Ciise v Gurgura and Ciise v Noole/Afran Qallo?

Wasn't it just around a month ago that elders of the three clans were sipping tea together and promoting peace?

It seems like it. They were fine, up until the recent crackdown on TPLF warlords. They’re sending money around to cause chaos around he country. Unfortunately our respective ethnicities are falling for this crap.

Better leadership in DD is definitely needed.

mar hore ayee soo dhaafeen diridhabe, they are in Jigjiga attacking Somalis in all the surrounding tuulos. As soon as the Habesha oppression was lifted they started attacking Somalis, yet we Somalis who suffered more under Iley have not attacked Ogaden Rer Cabdulle.

This is why I say Somalinimo is the only way.

[Django]

This is load of bolox blaimming TPLF.
Till to date we.have no arrests of even one Oromo politician.But we had several arrests of Somalis.

The Oromos either blamed Iley or TPLF but who controls the EDF and why are they sitt8ng in the fence.Well they were not sitting in the fence in Jigjiga when they were Protecting non somalis.

So the game plan for Abye is let us displace somalis and blame it on TPLF.
I think if Abye is genuine he would have dismantled the EPRDF coalition.He would not sit idle and wait for marauding qerros burning villages or town centres but would have brought in a curfew and shot to kill policy for any person commiting violence.

Nonsense.

The ODP have moved to secure power and implement reforms and their processes, such that they were prepared to move against the OLF a short while ago - they deployed federal troops and clashes resulted from it.

Don't cry for Illey, he is a moron and a coward who took a gamble and lost, then tried to blow the whole show up.

Illey gave Abiy an opportunity to finally get rid of him when he unleashed that mob and made news headlines with the burning of churches and having Liyu resist federal troops.

llley is a butcher of Somalis and has been for longer than 10 years - your vitriol should be reserved for him for the countless Somali deaths, torture and rapes he is responsible for.

The Tigrais are not undermining the Abiy government in most part. If anything they will try to direct Abiy in a way that he doesn't step on their foots while carrying on with his mission. It's good for the Tigrais in the long term.

For the last 28 years all eyes were on the Tigrais and all hate was directed towards them. In order for that to die out, they need Ethiopians to have a new public enemy and a new focus. That means letting Abiy and his Galla for the most part being on public eyes and becoming the new enemy.

All this current euphoria and fake honeymoon will come to an end eventually and the reality will surface. The Tigrais may find themselves now on the same side as Eritreans and that's a win for them.

The Gallas and the Amhara will be bitter enemies. Tigrais will just watch on and wait to take advantage of it in the perfect moment. We know Amhara will use Abiy to their advantage and Abiy will do everything demand they make thanks to his mother and wife. Amhara women are the shot makers. Eventually the Gallas will resent him. Give it 2-3 years. Once Amhara muscle the government from his hands, the Galla will once again take it to the streets but unlike the Tigrais who were so cut off from Addis Ababa, the Amhara have the biggest presence in Addis Ababa and can easily put down Oromo protests.

If they undermine Abiy and don't allow the Galla to grow into the monster status----they are not doing themselves a favor.

As for the Dire and Moyale issues, Somalis need long term fix and all advantages are in Somali favors. We just need to put some focus and energy into it and treat the Gallas like an enemy rather than "oh our fellow Muslim neighbors, ah they speak our language allaaa allaa Cushitic this Cushitic that".

You have to see them as HIV and Ebola combined. Nothing less.

When the Amhara overpowers Abiy, Somalis make their deadliest move. The Gallas will try to fight the Amhara. Be patient. Think; plant, grow and harvest.

It's also necessary to restructure places like Dire Dawa and bring in more Somalis from other tribes if it was truly to be full Somali and the Gallas successfully evicted for good. There's need for Hawiye, Isaac, Harti, etc. The HG alone can eat Gallas alive. These Gallas are used to this marshmallow Gurgura and Jarso.

Equally, I wouldn't settle only city dwellers on Dire Dawa and other frontiers but in addition to nomads. I think nomads are the greatest expansionists and natural enemy defeaters. Their history record speaks volume. Today even in Kenya they are vital and continue to expand that Somali territory.

I think your hatred for the Oromos is so strong that you're not being realistic. Or fair.
Ethiopia is not Somalia. It's very different. You can't just dismantle a 27 year old overnment overnight. That's not how things work.
In Ethiopia, you have way more diversity which means more opinions, beliefs, ideologies, etc.
You have powerful external powers with a vested interest in keeping Ethiopia intact, and stable.
You have a pm who has to work to dismantle a corrupt tigrayan elitist system that took 25 plus years, to establish.
You have a wealthy and well armed nemesis, the tplf, still out there able to finance conflicts.
Hence the reason why abiy is slowly getting their big dogs. Because he has to, or they'll incite more conflicts.
He may give immunity to some, to get others, which is a wise move to me.
But at the end of the day, you have to be realistic and not expect some miraculous changes to an empire, to happen overnight, or even in a year.
As far as dire dhawa goes, who knows who started it, but don't tell me it's coincidentally happening at a time when tplf big dogs just got caught and jailed. The two events are definitely related sir. Tplf is saying: if you come after us, we will not go down alone, we will take you all with us, which includes 7 to 8 million Somalis within Ethiopia.
Hate oromo all you want, but it's obvious who benefits when we fight, as oromo and Somali.
It's not Somalis or oromo either.

One notable thing about your statement and which I concur is that whatever the opinions expressed about the Somali-Oromo conflicts and disputes one thing is undeniably clear as the daylight and that is the apparent that it only benefits the warlords of Mekelle and is detrimental to both Somali and Oromo equally.

One other point worth making is that this conflict shows the lack of foresight and naivety of the Somali and Oromo leaderships and intellectuals in the concerned. Unless something drastically changes and brought from the PM's Office the future looks terrifying with no hope a light at the end of the tunnel.
