The great nation of Somalia, whose wonderful people share the same language, religion, culture, customs and traditions, should never have been divided into numerous clans and autonomous regions if it were not for superpower politics in the Indian Ocean that seeks to maintain control over the region through civil wars and destabilization efforts.

It is prudent for the Somali people to hitch their wagon to the high IQ nation in the Horn region, so they may succeed in attaining peace and national unity in the face of unrelenting external interference into their domestic affairs.

The presence of foreign troops in Somalia is nothing more than foreign military occupation by proxy, and there are 5000 ways to free the country from the occupation, such as by forming a uniformed Somali military force essential for safeguarding the sovereignty, peace and security of the great nation without being indebted to no one. IQ Matters!

Eritrea & Somalia, Relations. Some facts!

-The Periplus of the Erythraean Sea written AD 40 & 70, mentions both countries as important trading places.
-The Bahre Negasi Kingdom of Eritrea had influence & relations, with the Cape of Spices/Guardafui (present day Somalia).

The Beja Kingdom of Jarin of Eritrea, that ended in the 13th C, extended from the Port of Massawa-Barka river-Zayla (Somalia) the Dahlak Islands as its major cities.


Italy occupied Eritrea in 1890 & obtained control of Somaila in 1889 & On 9 May 1936, Mussolini, proclaimed the formation of Italian East Africa, comprised of Eritrea, Ethiopia & Somalia & Victor Emmanuel III was named Emperor of this new Empire.

In the 1950s the fate of both Eritrea & Somalia was discussed by UNGA and while Somalia was granted independence, Eritrea was federated with Ethiopia. Ethiopia claimed, both countries.


In Dec 1960, ELF's Idris Mohammed Adem appealed to Somalian PM Dr. Abdul Rashid Ali Sharmarke to support the Eritrean case in int'l forums, allowing Eritreans to broadcast from Somali radio, training Eritrean youth. Somalia, immediately began issuing passports to Eritreans.



Led by Idris Mohammed Adem & Osman Saleh Sabbe, a Mogadishu-based Eritreo-Somalia Friendship Association (ESFA) emerged in 1961 to channel Somalia’s multifaceted assistance to the Eritrean struggle. Somalia was the first country, to allow Eritrean nationalist to open an office.

The People's Republic of China, was an early supporter of Eritrean independence. The ELF first established relations with China through Somalia, in 1966.


In Feb.1982, when Ethiopia was about to launch one of the biggest military operations in the world to quash the Armed Struggle, Somalia condemned ―the inhumane massacre unleashed by the Ethiopian colonial regime on the Eritrean masses struggling for their national independence. Somalia's then Foreign Affairs Minister Challe Abdurahan Jama Barre declared tha the Ethiopian regime is backed by foreign forces; including Libya, Cuba and South Yemen in its acts of genocide against the people of Eritrea.

During Somalia's civil war, Eritrea hosted 2990 Somalis at Emkulu Refugee Camp. Eritrea provided protection to Somalis, in Eritrea. Many Eritreans lived in Somalia before 1991 and some lived there, during the Italian colonial period.


After TPLF led Ethiopia invaded Somalia in 2006, on May 3, 2007 the gov of Eritrea wrote to the UNSC:

The invasion unleashed against Somalia in the name of the "war on terror" has aggravated the instability of our region & the destruction on the Somali people.

On 27 April 2007 Eritrea notified IGAD of its decision to temporarily suspend its membership and freeze its activities in IGAD stating that,

it’s not responsible to stay in that organization when decisions are being made that are not legally or morally acceptable.

On Dec 23, 2009, the UNSC imposed an arms embargo on Eritrea & subsequently imposed financial & travel restrictions on its leaders for allegedly arming Islamist militants in Somalia. In 2017, the UN disclosed that it did not find conclusive evidence of Eritrean support.


On July 30, 2018 Eritrea & Somalia signed an historic Joint Declaration on Brotherly Relations & Comprehensive Cooperation & agreed to establish diplomatic relations & exchange ambassadors, promote bilateral trade & investment, educational & cultural exchanges.


On Dec. 13 2018, Eritrean President made his first historic visit to the Republic of Somalia. On July 28, then Somalia's president made his first historic visit to the State of Eritrea.

Guys do not forget the crime Isaias committed on his people, Tigray and Ethiopia. Actually the MOU signed with Somalia is his farewell as he is to be removed from power very soon. Isaias can only establish short term relationship and is also principles less as he used to have close cooperation with the terrorist Alshabab, until he was sanctioned by UN and USA.
