Could Ethiopia and Somalia go to war? | Inside Story


An agreement between Ethiopia and a breakaway part of Somalia is raising tension on the Horn of Africa. Somalia regards Somaliland as part of its territory – and has warned Ethiopia against interfering in its affairs. But Ethiopia is landlocked and wants access to the sea – something Somaliland can provide.
Regional blocs are trying to…

  1. No . A big No . Ethiopia and Somalia will never on the current status of things go to war against each other . They can't go to war for because 1- Somalia itself is security-wise under the protection of Ethiopia , Kenyan and Djiboutian + Amisom African Union force . Therefore it is simply understandable that there no point and it is impossible that Somalia fight against the Ethiopian army which protecting the Somalia leaders against A-Shabaab militant extremist group. 2- The second reason is that Somaliland which has signed M.O.U deal with Ethiopia is not practically and historically just some region of Somalia . Somaliland and Somalia just went into failed union after they recieved separate independence in 1960 . Unions fail in some case the worldover and it failed in the case of Somaliland and Somalia . The agreement between Somaliland and Ethiopia is not a violation of any third party

  2. It looks a way too shipped the Gas well that has been China was looking a ports to shipped out the huge gas founded in the border of somaliland somali region has been last 15 years looking to sell the gas to UAE.

  3. Government and people. Kick off UAE- Dubai control out of SOCOTRA because The Zaniest Jews will control it.
    Do not let Zaniest make a foot in that areas.

    Please have someone Tell the President of Somalian to be strong and brave to control your land..up to SOCOTRA.

  5. I got the Answer for you a big No from the Somaliland state called Awdal famous today, even went to war to protect their territory from the Somaliland governments and Awdal won 🏆 Somaliland army went back to get more power because they failed which shows that Awadal is not selling off it's land or sea to Ethiopia or anyone else 🚫

  6. Adoon always adoon my grandfather was fighting 1977 war to liberate western somalia that's occupied by ethiopia which was handed to them by the british terrorists

  7. We're no longer listing to the Western wrong news, because they have been forcing to the war, Why??? We're not going to the war we're going to be one to grow up together, and we're going to be example of the other Africans brothers.❤

  8. Somalia can’t fight Ethiopia for generation to come. They even can’t fight shabab let alone Ethiopia army taking care 3 or 4 province of Somalia. Actually Ethiopian army is taking care of security of Somalia otherwise shabab will take over

  9. Do think Ethopia is more power than Somalia . That is not truth .
    Remember in 1977 Somalia only were 8 years old Government. And Somalia Military action went near The capital of Ethopia then Ethopia worried Somalia will Took over Ethopia after that Ethopia requested military help Russia and cup-a. The world knows this story inside fought Somalia had victor❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

  10. How it's possible that the weak south Somalia government in Mogadishu could war with Ethiopia…?? While south Somalia leaders and Hassan sheikh are secured their safety by Ethiopian troops.

    What the stupidly running here and there of bad political analytical biased way , not based on scientific analysis and evaluation.

    While still Al-Jazeera till now trying to indulge UAE in the issue. While in fact it's Qatar which all these problems and influence the farmaajo and Fahad Yasmin team who fund Alshabab terrorist and trying now to use Alshabab to involve in the issue and they are sending them hunts to waged a war against Ethiopia and Somaliland as Hassan sheikh previous encouraged Alshabab, saying to them "instead you fighting us, let's united with us to fight Ethiopia and Somaliland.

    And that was the worst words to encouraging terrorists to wage a war against another neighbouring countries, employing them in proxy war.

    That's why Alshabab couldn't be uprooted all these years, because south Somalia politicians used them as hired hitman against another opponent politicians and innocent whistleblowers like journalists, and honest government employees who who can't turn bildeye from the government's corruption. All that happened in the time of farmaajo and it happens now.

    That's the way that General Muse Noor Galal.was assassinated at the time of Criminal Mohamed Adullahi Farmaajo.
    😢😢😢😢

  11. Why Mogadishu concerned on Somaliland's seas , Somaliland has broken away from Somalia, the stupidity of Somalia, it's still runs after Somaliland which they genocide them in 1990th.
    Those in Somalia are brainwashed by their leaders blindfolded themselves from the reality and don't want to see the fact Somaliland has left them long time ago , and developed itself un way that Somalia couldn't reached.
    The time of unification Somaliland with Somalia, there wasn't had a single university.
    Not after Somaliland broke away from Somalia, it has more than 20.universites.

    Why Somaliland should care about reunification with aggressive Somalia.

    Somaliland gained its independence from great Britain before Somalia and it had recovered by United Nations, while Somalia wasn't recognised by United Nations.

    Somaliland has strong reason to break away from Somalia.

    While Somalia is failure state that swept by terrorism since the Siyaad Barre was ousted.
    It's well known that till the failure state of Somalia led by Hassan sheikh is guarded by Ethiopian troops whom safeguarding their whole south Somalia security and the security of their leaders.

    Only what they want is to pull back Somaliland to share with them the mess and mayhem that South Somalia indulged in .

    These south Somalia leaders are lack sound brain and good or critical thinking

    😂😂😂😂😂

  12. Salaamu calaykum, waxaan aad ula yaabay waxa u diiday D.F.S inay caalamka u sheegto in wixii la oranjiray somaliland inay deganyihiin lix qabiil .
    Markaan magacaabo, waa Dhulbahante iyo Warsangeli oo bariga ah oo iminkana ah dawladgoboleed loo aqoonsanyahay sida gobolada kale ee dalka.
    Ciise iyo Samaroon oo dawlad goboleed iminka wadahadal kula jira D.F.S si ay u noqdaan ay shuruudeediii buuxiyeen.. Qabiilka Gabooyana uu ku kala biirayaan labada dawladgoboleed ee cusub.Qabiilka soo haray
    oo ah Isaaq qayb ka mid ah tiro wacanna ka ah waa Garxajis eh, miisaan weyn oo siyaasadeedna ku leh yaa isna raacsan D.F.S .
    Sidaa darteed, lixdii qabiil marka shan iyo qayb ogolayn S/l marka horaba ma loogu yeerikaraa somaliland, heshiise ma lala gelikaraa.
    Waxay aniga ila tahay in dawladda dhexe caddaysaa runta jirta.
    Waxay Soomaalidu ku maahmaahdaa haddii fooli timaado gudo qarsiimo hadhan. Kolka waxay aniga ila tahay inay dawladda dhexe ka baxdaa waxyaabaha yaryar ay xeerinayso oo difaac rasmi ah gashaa runtana dibadda soo wada dhigtaa.

    Ammaana Allah.

  13. Egypt and Somalia combined can't defeat Ethiopia. Why Somalia couldn't control Somaliland and deal with Ethiopia? They got no power to do that.
    If Somalia can't control Somaliland, then they can't do anything to stop the deal. Like Eritrea declared its independence from Ethiopia, Somaliland can isolate from Somalia.

    Independence
    1. Eritrea from Ethiopia
    2. South Sudan from Sudan.
    Next
    3. Somaliland from Somalia
    It is up to the Somaliland to decide.

  14. YES WHY NOT 🚫 IF ETHIOPIA CONTINUES LIKE THE WARE IS WAY SOMALIA BELIEVE BECAME WARE BECAUSE SOMALIA TRUST ONLY WARE TO CAN MAKE RESOLUTION BECAUSE ETHIOPIA SOLDIERS LAST 30 YEARS IN SOMALIA AND NOW THEY THINKS THAT PLACE IS HAVE OF ETHIOPIA AND THEY TAKE AGREEMENT SOMALILAND GANG'S LEADER STATE OF MR MUSE BIHE ABDI😊
