What is shaking the Horn of Africa today?
1. Ethiopia began building a military base at Ethiopia -Somalia border where the Egyptian army was planned to settle according the Somalia Egypt anti-Ethiopia military pact. Ethiopia has now practically gave the signal to Egypt that Al-Sisi's foolish ambition of encircling Ethiopia from the East to be the proverbial crossing of the Red Line.
2. Any kind of delaying negotiation and empty talk between Hassan Sheik & Ethiopia is all but dead. Ethiopia must and will recognize the Independence of Somaliland weeks before the January date of arrival of the anti-Ethiopian Egyptian army into any part of Somalia. As I said yesterday, the anti-Ethiopia Egypto-Somalia military pact has brought the conclusion of the Ethio-Somaliland MOU into immediate urgency. Hence, barring any new dramatic development, implementation of the MOU is now a forgone conclusion.
3. While the world is dragging its feet regarding the rights of Somalilanders to nationhood, Puntland is following the path of Somalland. Puntland just opened what amounts to an Embassy in DC, USA. I have said many times, that Puntland doesn't want to have anything with the chaos and terrorist infested no man's land Somalia. So, all of you foolish and uninformed cheer leaders of Hassan Sheik and Al-Sisi need to go through a steep learning curve on this cascading unfoldment of the Horn of Africa.
4. We have now arrived at that historical moment when both friends and enemies of Ethiopia would have recognize that without an Ethiopian strong navy the security of the Red Sea Bab El-Mendeb is an illusion. Therefore, all those that want to see a secure and safe sea lane in that part of the world need and must come to the side of Ethiopia.
LONG LIVE ETHIOPIA! SOMALILAND IS A FREE NATION!
