Ethiopia's decision to dismantle regional special forces is reckless and risky. It will weaken security and embolden rebel groups and Terrorists like Al-Shabaab. #Ethiopia#RegionalSecurity
Leadership matters in shaping a nation's destiny. SomaliRegion enjoys peace and stablitiy under @Mustafe_M_Omer progressive leadership, while chaos reigns in Somaliland under @musebiihi's old-school mentality. The irony is striking, but the difference is clear. #LeadershipMatters
Today, people of #SomaliRegion commemorate the 45th anniversary of the #KaraMara genocide that exposed the Derg regime’s brutality in #Jijiga. Meanwhile, some other parts of #Ethiopia celebrate the Karamara victory proudly.
History doesn't unite us, it evokes pride and pain.
3/3: On this anniversary, let's reflect & stand in solidarity with the victims of #KaraMara offensive. Let's strive for a future where all Ethiopians are respected & protected from violence & oppression. #NeverAgain
1/3: #KaraMara victory celebrations are wrong, it’s painful reminder of a trauma and suffering experienced by many #Ethiopians. During the offensive, Mengistu’s army committed atrocities and massacred innocent #Somali civilians in Jijiga. #OgadenGenocide#EthiopiaHistory
2/3: Instead of celebrating a hollow victory, let's confront our painful history, acknowledge, and remember the victims of the #KaraMara genocide and honor their memory. #NeverForget#OgadenStrong
@Abdirahmanahmd couldn't agree more.
We reject the glorification of war and violence that harmed our people in #Jijiga and other parts of #Somali Region. We condemn the @karamara celebration, a day of shame and division for #Ethiopia .
Karama of whom? The massacre of local people by a coalition of oppressors or the heroic resistance of Somali people against cruel and violent colonial regime?
@EthioTube Police did a good job. #Ethiopia's history is not a unifying factor, but a source of division and trauma for many groups. Celebrating the dark past will only exacerbate the existing divisions. #Adwa127#AdwaVictory
@AbiyAhmedAli must recognize that #Ethiopia's history is not a unifying factor, but a source of division and trauma for many groups. Celebrating the past without acknowledging its dark aspects will only exacerbate the existing divisions and fragility of the nation. #Adwa127
5/5: The situation is volatile and urgent attention is required to prevent further spread of ethnic conflicts that could lead to devastating consequences for both regions and the country as a whole #Ethiopia@Mustafe_M_Omer@AbiyAhmedAli@ShimelisAbdisa
4/5 Additionally, the recent announcement to establish #Oromia woreda on the outskirts of #Jijiga city has further added fuel to the fire. Somalis perceived as aggressive move threatening their interests /capital city. #EthiopiaNews
4/ The lack of a shared history that everyone can celebrate is a challenge for Ethiopia, we can move towards a future that promotes justice and peace for all. #Adwa@Ethiopia#Adwa127
3/ Ethiopia's past history is a source of pride for many, while for others, the past is past is a reminder of painful moments of oppression era. #Adwa@Ethiopia#Adwa127
2/ #Ethiopia 's history evokes pride and pain, that's the bitter reality. if #Menelik II is your hero, remember that his is just a butcher for me who caused great suffering and marginalization for many…. #Adwa#Adwa127
