The international law is flowed made by white men who just want to take advantage of that area. Europe and usa are benefiting from it not the the people of East Africans. Lets share our resources and help each other instead of being selfish, each country for its own doesn't work.
It’s crazy that the UN approved Eritrea to be a sovereign nation from Ethiopia because it was colonized and created by Italy on the other hand Somaliland was colonized by England and the people of Somaliland chose to be sovereign from Somalia just like Eritrea wanted to be from Ethiopia but the UN is so political they choose and pick what they want as they go.. Ethiopia recognized it now, and other nations will follow. Helping each other is better for all East Africans. Kudos to Ethiopia and Somaliland working together… Look at these break away small countries like Djibouti and Eritrea.. they give military bases and ports lease to a foreign countries but not to their own African neighbors.. If we share our wealths and work together, we will all benefit and prosper together.. Ethiopia wants to break this habit by any means necessary..
@@tjdln409I disagree with you. Eritrea was colonized by Ethiopia and it dissolved the Eritrean parliament on the other hand Somalia and Somaliland did a referendum after Italy and the British left their colonies. Somalis in the Somaliland at that time voted to merge into one country as both countries spoke one language and have one religion. The only way for Somaliland to break away from Somalia is to pass a referendum bill in the parliament. The Somalis in Somaliland have to vote again. From what I see most Somalilanders are against breaking away and they refuse Ethiopian presence on their lands. Ethiopia has crossed the lines.
@@yousufaman1738what are you smoking. Somalilanders decided to Join Somalia in 1960. Took it back in 1991 and if you do a referendum the majority IE 97% will chose to go there own ways. Majority Rules Bro.....
Unlike you, we wish you have a peaceful united and vibrant Somalia. To remind you a little bit, the conflict b/n Somali and Somaliland is caused by the ill drive from Mogadishu. Ethiopia has nothing to do with that plus we have 30+ years to recognize Somaliland even when the Somali Republic passed through tough times but we didn't that is out of respect and good wish we have for you. Had the situation been the other way we all know what you guys would do.
The other way around... Ethiopia controlled the red sea .... 1st genetics ethiopia is mixed nation black and Arabs 2nd culture language religion ..all of them indicate about ethiopia 3rd civilization written history...among ethiopia and other kingdoms wrote about ethiopia Ethiopia did control redsea ....somalis by nature are herders n live by their cattles from place to place untill mid century they hv become Muslim n started for port fight with ethiopia you can see Djibouti now ..... Somalis has been where they are now same for semetic ethiopians except slightly Djibouti is stolen
@@rebbybam230 everything you listed is lies. Somalis have older and many more civilization than Ethiopians ever had. Somalis are the people of punt and they are also the ancient Pharoahs. They had many kindoms before and after islam. The somalis enslaved habeshas and oromos. And somalis are older than Ethiopians. Ethiopians are a collection of immigrants that are not native to the horn.
@@rebbybam230 Land of Punt in Somalia is 4500 years old which is 2000 years older than Ethiopian history. Somalis had the best cities in Africa according to Muslim travelers like Ibn Batouta who called Mogadishu an endless city full of rich people.
It’s a very bone headed move by Ethiopia and quite honestly surprised. Ethiopia has probably more organised ethnic liberation movements than any country in Africa, multiple regions are clamouring for independence. They just ended a 2 year civil war against Tigray who wanted to secede. The flames in Oromia is still burning and the Somali region can blow up anytime .Not to mention Abiy completely violated the Tripartite Agreement with Eritrea & Somalia signed in 2018 which states that they must all “respecting each other's independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity”. Seems like Abiy’s agreements aren’t worth the paper they are written on.
1st of all these r not liberation fronts, they r vagabonds backed/funded by oromo/amahara ethno-preneur elites from the diaspora whose end-game is to take power away from the democratically elected gov't of Abiy. How can u liberate by killing, raping and pillaging those same ppl u r allegedly liberating? And if those 'liberation fronts' had any support from the Amhara/Oromo ppl they would have taken power by now, but their abismal failure is evident. Second, Ethiopia didn't infringe upon anybody's territory, Somaliland had been a country for the last 30yrs, democratically electing its leaders unlike Isaias Afeworki in Asmara who clinged to power through tyranny. Finally, Dr Abiy has taken the country forward, and it's palpable for anyone grounded in truth, despite the western backed TPLF destructive war, the COVID-19 scamdemic, the Russian/Ukraine induced global inflation.So all this calamities u r dishing out r ur wishful thinking.

It is not that he is well informed but fear that Ertirian lose benefits from Ethiopia. Everyone is crying and twisting the issues about Ethiopia because Ethiopia is RICH( figure out how )
World bank, IMF, etc money is an imposed or forcefully lent to Ethiopia for their(Lenders )political strategies this could beyond your understanding but it is the truth
I have been a member of your show for a long time and have admired you for your honesty. Why are you inviting only a person from Eritrea not from both Somaliland and Ethiopia? Are you telling us the two countries have no people who could explain the situation. This is one sided and sad such professional journalist make such kind mistake. Be fair and honest. You also need to read the history of the horn of Africa and find the truth. By the way there is no escalation but working peacefully between the two countries. I do not understand why no one ask question how Ethiopia lost her boarder and is land locked 🤔
17 minutes of rant by Eritrean agent!! Neither Somalia or Ethiopian perspective covered. Elias will never talk about the colonial project to deprive Ethiopia of sea access. This issue is more than Abiy.
What the fk r u talking about? Ain't nobody taking anybody land, Somali isn't in control of somaliland. Somali is not even in control of Somali itself.
@@accrr370 OK, are you there to negotiate with the Ethiopian government? There are party's and officials in place that are negotiating so there is nothing you can do about it. Stop screaming at Ethiopia and trust me nobody wants a war but if you want it we can give it to you in addition to what you have right now. Ethiopian soldiers are actually in Somali protecting you from a fkn alshabab so be fkn thankful. You know what they said don't bite the finger that feed you. Ethiopia is not taking anyone's land, all Ethiopia want is make a fare trade. Why don't you guys are not saying anything about any other western countries or arab countries using the port? Tired of African pathetic self hating ignorants.
These great two journalist failed to ask the HoA "expert": why when two Africa neighbors cooperate, it's a 'reckless adventure' while the "great powers" competition in the region with more than 19 military bases, port-building & controlling is just business as usual?
Because the secessionists just lost a war to unionists in Northern Somalia and have been expelled late August. Now they gave access to the sea in another region where they’re not welcome & people there have already started protests and are threatening an armed struggle there. Even if Somalia did nothing the people there would still not accept it and it would lead to a war. If Somaliland needs to ask Ethiopia for recognition that means it doesn’t have the authority to give port access or allow a base.
What two nations? SL is a region in Somalia while Ethiopia is a collapsing state that should focus on their multiple insurgencies instead of trying to start problems with others.
Ethiopia is crumbling with civil wars and genocides all over the country specifically in the Amhara, Tigray, Somali and Afar regions. Their government tried to sign illegal "agreements" with traitors within Somalia to steal/"lease" parts of our sea. Now before those illegal agreements that violate Somalia's sovereignty, discussions could have been had. But as of now, that's not gonna happen and Somalis from all over the world are now taking about war and defending their homeland. Ethiopia has already had two wars with Eritrea already and one with Somalia in 2007. Ethiopia lost all wars of course. Ethiopia is the troublemaker in the Horn of Africa.
They always denie until the bomb explodes on them they just want to control Ethiopian ability to do business. They are always making false hope called greater somalia when somaliland was the first to make the proposal
Let' not loose the main issue. What the US fears the most is Pease in the horn. The after life after the possible end of war in ethiopia is what is happening now - with the latest push for a port. Please make a note that Eth's move for a port is instigated by the US. I refer you to the US Congress hearing and the statement and support by the California rep. for the port interest expressed by Eth.
Somalia has every right to defend every inch of its territory. This move by Addis Ababa is a pure declaration of War. Ethiopia shall bear the consequences of its actions for many decades to come.
I don't understand why Injira and Canjeras and especially the whole block are still in full swing, playing the dramas of old century feelings. Due to the class and superiority mentality, civil and human rights related rights don’t exist in this areas. As a Somali, I don't understand why Ethiopia always keeps an eye on our country? This is not the first temptation they have made, for there have been four major wars in the past.
Ethiopias problems comes from its ruling elites. No matter what govt comes they will always bring up access to ports issues whenever they have internal issues. As Eritrean we know how you feel as our country has always been threatened by Ethiopian invasion.
@@yousufaman1738 - That doesn’t explain why they invaded in ‘06 to install their puppet in Mogadishu, or why they kept raiding into our country habitually to catch “escaped rebels”.

The parts they don’t “own”, they still scheme against and invade on a whim.

It’s better for Ethiopia to seek peace and make deals with neighbours based on international laws or else this expansionist mentality will only destroy Ethiopia from inside.
Ethiopia sent its military to Somalia agreed by the Somalian government so it doesn’t fall into chaos which would effect the whole region. Eritrea has a observer status in the Arab League and has good relations with the Arab countries that border the Red Sea, in saying that these Arab countries and Eritrea have a fear that Ethiopian will dominate the Red Sea, trade and military wise so they do their best to not let Ethiopia have trade and military port on the Red Sea.
I was born in Hargeysa in todays Somaliland, grew up with my proud countrymen who have a rich and unique history, language and set of customs and traditions that set them apart from other cultures. I love most what my country somalia has been at different times in its history, the vanquisher of European colonialism and the tyrant siyaad barre, a beacon of opportunity and hope. To love one's country is to be proud of it, but also not to be afraid to confront its problems and work to solve them. Crime of betraying one's country, especially by trying to kill its sovereign and giving aid and comfort to the enemy and setting up a parallel government when an enemy brutally takes over your nation and your countrymen into submission. Everyone knows that Ethiopia is the only African country that has been a colonial power in Africa over another African nation that Europeans have done to Africa, for example Eritrea has been fighting for years for its independence from Ethiopia, our brothers in Ogaden are still under colonial Ethiopia. Ethiopia has never been somali friendly nation, their dreams are now fulfilled through idiots who are in power over my country today who are soo busy cannibalizing all somalia and somliland assets like there is no tomorrow. In South Somalia Turkiye and various Arab countries really control somalia as a whole, like healthcare, ports, airports, banks, there is almost nothing owned by Somalis in Somalia right now. In Puntland, some thieves in same clan are looting the assets of the Somali people there, same looting is happening in Somaliland as well. Just doing something bad or dishonest and selling out our beautiful coasts and coastal areas gives you idiots nothing or any success, power. History will judge you all harshly. Indigenous people of North America let/welcome Europeans in their land, now they live in reserves, if a foreigner with power from near or far into our country it can happen to us Somalis , if we let ethiopia our enemies in our country. To help invading ethiopian forces in northern somalia, sounds like high treason to me and should lead to the grave and refers to betrayal of one's own country by attempting to materially aid its enemies. Soomalya ha noolaato
You are wrong. Oromo are not under colonial power and that’s coming from an Oromo. Ethiopia is a Nation not an Ethno nation, which means we have united under a federation for years. No ethnicity in Ethiopia wants to separate. It doesn’t make sense economically or strategically since we are surrounded with potential threats.
We Somalis have had so many wars with Ethiopia for a centuries and Ethiopia is aware Somali fighting spirit. However, Ethiopian aggressive towards Somalia go whole the way 1414 and beyond, every time they tried they have been defeated, retaliated and completely annihilated. The whole of Ethiopia was about to fall under Imam Ahmed Gurey1530, but saved by a Portuguese by Pedro da Gama, son of navigator Vasco da Gama. Ogaden War of 1977-78 between Somalia and Ethiopia, Somalia defeated Ethiopia and came as close as a few kilometers from the capital of Itiopia Addis Ababa but saved as usual and previous conflicts by Soviet Union and Cuba, which were seeking a cross-continent socialist alliance. If they think we have internal conflicts to be exploited and invade our country, we are willing to give them one more round. Somali Patriotism is what all Somalis have in common one for all, all for one, do not underestimate when it comes defending our motherland from north to south. Soomaliya ha noolaato.

Can the guest say something about Eritrean achievements during the past 3 decades ? Let the Libyan deserts talk and let the Mediterranean Sea say something for Eritrean citizens who lost their lives while crossing to Europe. Eritrean government wants to make sure Ethiopia is highly dependent on Eritrean resources and wanted to use Asab port at high cost but Ethiopia decided to develop and use Somaliland’s sea port. Somaliland has been self autonomous during the past 3 decades. Eritrea has been given a chance to cooperate for development for mutual benefits.
Eritrea was sanctioned and Ethiopia was attempting to invade it multiple times. When would they have the chance to develop? Eritrea has been fighting since independence.
Undoubtedly, Ethiopia and Somaliland will soon start to realize the objectives of the MoU. The coordinated information warfare launched by Eritrea's and Somalia's government backed media outlets can't stop that from happening. My advice to our brothers from Eritrea and Somalia governments- don't fool yourself on how the majority of Ethiopians would view the MoU between Et and SL. Any attempt to sabotage the agreement between the two parties may lead to the end of the regime in Asmara or/and Mogadishu.
I don't think eritrean youth were kidnapped by eritrean gov and made to cross Libya and midditernian sea - you can blame this to the stupid eritrean culture backhome which encourage ppl to immigrate and enslaved mind of africa that worships and seeks it's privious master. We, as African, need to self reflect and emancipate ourself.
As an Ethiopian, I think Abiy Ahmed is making a huge mistake. I've heard various interviews of Somaliland people regarding this deal and majority seem to be against it. They all keep saying they don't want 120 million infidels being unleashed into their lands lol. In my opinion, if anybody should benefit from Ethiopian resources, it should be Eritreans. At least they don't view us as infidels and we share a lot.

@@salemhailu11-11 my comments are based on facts but I love honesty, if you're truthful.

French Somaliland or DJIBOUTI 4. Western Somaliland given to Ethiopia 5. NFD given to Kenya by the British REASONS AS TO WHY Firstly Somalia has had a long, much celebrated and rich history and are renowned for their bravery and generosity and high self-esteem. Secondly they've the same culture, religion and language. Thirdly they've huge natural resources like oil, gas, gold, uranium etc. Fourthly Somali peninsula, along with Yemen, has the most strategic location in the red sea. Finally we Somalis don't want to be divided, it's imposed on us and we're not and will not be satisfied with this division ever.

The conflict between the Somalis and Ethiopia is not today's conflict. This is a conflict that is thousands of years old. Ethiopia has ambitions to seize Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. The Somalis say that as long as these people want to control the Red Sea, we will work to control the Abyssinian plateau. This is a conflict over who will rule the region.

Somalia is just recovering from 30 years of civil war and uniting as somalis just for Ethiopia to start a DOMINO effect by recognizing one CLAN as a country 💀😭That’s why the somali Government is angry .😑
Unfortunately, your guest is missing the elephant in the room. Ethiopia put a lot on the table and was shortchanged by Eritrea and Somalia after their tripartite pact in 2018. A lot has changed in Ethiopia internally since then and the Ethiopian PM is in a stronger position since coming to power in 2018. I understand the fear from #eritrea and #somalia since they small states compared to Ethiopia. However, just like it did for Eritrea and Somalia, Ethiopia is now putting its weight behind #Somaliland ... The difference is SL, like #Djibouti, is very much aware of the long-term benefit of having Ethiopia on its side. Btw, time will sort the matter on the ground since the MoU is expected evolve into formal agreements in a month or so. What is worrying is the possibility that Eritrea and Somalia might take actions on the ground beyond supporting proxies and Ethiopia might decide to go beyond recognizing SL. #mladdiz
I am Kenyan and I don't understand what the deal is,,,Ethiopia and the Somaliland made a deal that could help develop that region in years to come and I think what is there is Somalia and other countries are jealous because they will lose these Billions that will go to Somaliland....I know politicians especially in Africa only think about themselves and Ethiopia is developing fast and will have money to spend.That is all it is. If right now Ethiopia makes the same deal with Somalia you will see opinions changing. It is about the money. Look at Eritrea, got independence but they have nothing to show for the 30+ years,,,Just national pride but they are among the poorest countries in the world. It is just about the money and Somaliland getting Billions of Dollars on the lease is not going down well...Just my opinion. We hope they resolve this issue peacefully
Why you say Somaliland is like Jabuti, educate yourself before you talk, Ethiopian they well known somali people we fought different times but now this issue reunite Somali people.
You probably need to read and have understanding more on the regional politics. Somaliland is a break away regionin Somalia just like the northern kenya always wanted to separate from kenya. Recognition of somaliland will open a Pandora box. It will lead the recognition of Tigray, sidama and many other regions in ETHOPIA as independent state by Somalia and Eritrea. For kenya, you know so well there's was a movements in coastal Kenya and Northern frontier districts so kenya will be at least three nations too. We better be careful
@@abdirahmankhalif-ee1bw Not quite! Somaliland was a country for a week before July 1st 1960 and has had de facto independence with similar MoU agreements with other Nations/States. Last I checked, Ethiopia can decide to recognize Somaliland and is the reason why we are witnessing all this posturing. So, history might not be on the side of Somalia ☺️
To Elias: There is no such think as Oromuma Government of Ethiopia. Oromuma simply means being Oromo. That is all. The current Ethiopian Government is neither an Oromuma nor Oromo Government. You can criticise the government as much as you want without linking it to Oromo. If your politics is based and built on lies, whatever you want to achieve through those lies will not help the country.
BT: Suggest to have a balanced view on this important topic from guests directly impacted by the matter beyond just one guest who has a clear vested interest in twisting and skipping facts representing the stance of a country he represents.
There’s no way this guy can be a witness and explain what is going on on the horn Africa with Amhara mind set and labeled oromuma as evil. He is not understood what oromuma means.
ETHIOPIA has continuously undermined any attempts at reviving a unified Somali state which it deems a threat to their Ethiopia is a direct threat to Somalia’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and political unity and we are ready to defend our country and they must leave Somalia
Well, this whole thing about Ethiopian port access is instigated by the West and gulf state (UAE & Saudi’s) to contain Houthi’s in Yemen and Iran. Ethiopia, as usual wants to be a mercenary for the interest of these powers. It has nothing to do with the economy. As a result Africans and other peoples in the region are being aware that Ethiopia is a threat to all as a client state who is causing instability and escalation of war. Now, Ethiopia is bankrupt, its people are dying of hunger and war. To protect its legitimacy and validity, the African Union should move out of Addis, as Ethiopia does not represent the spirit or the policies of that organization that advocates the betterment of Africans and much less to Ethiopians' interests. Most particularly, how would one square this behavior of Ethiopian regime, with the recent devastating war against those renegade Woyanne’s who wanted to secede? Abbiy now recognizes a Somali region and turns against his ally in Somali republic. Of course, he betrayed Eritrea as well and is now fanning the flame of war in the region. It exposes the Nobel prize givers in Oslo who are kow towing to politics. Abiy does not represent peace and it is a joke to give him a Nobel 'Peace Prize', Ethiopia is now a very dangerous state to a peaceful coexistence and a destabilizing force in the Horn of Africa. On this ground and its absolute dependence on outside powers for its economic and political existence, it is prudent to state that it remain landlocked and only allowed access for economic purposes. Besides, it is beset with myriad internal problems.
A zebra remains a zebra. Eritrea was a traitor to the Ethiopian Powerhuas, Today's Eritea (EPLF and TPLF) fought against Ethiopia for years with Western help. 33 years ago, when communism ended, these rebels, TPLF and the current Eritrean government came to Addis to take over the Goverment Ethiopia, .After that They sold Ethiopia to the West. After the collapse of the communist era in Russia and the Eastern Bloc, Ethiopia was broken at the time. The West then handed the country over to the rebels and the TPLF established itself as the government in Ethiopia and let go of Eritrea without consulting the Ethiopian people. Ethiopia became landlocked. Ethiopia can retake its access to the Red Sea by force, but the West will not allow that. Eritrea, Somalia and Djibouti are there to block the Ethiopian power center that could resist Western power. Eritrea, Djibouti and Somalis are the fake Countries countries in the Horn of Africa. In order to keep Ethiopia weakon.

@@xmediabox non sense. First of all Eritreans voted for independence in 1993 with 99%. We don’t need Ethiopians permission. We the people decide what’s good for us not others. Second it’s TPLF that sold your country to the west and you are suffering the consequences till today. Second of all Eritrea and neighbouring countries have been asking Ethio to become one regional bloc like EU and respect international law but it’s your elites that choose to go for war and talking about getting sea access by force. Tell me who is threatening for war by saying by force? Is it Ethiopia or the neighbours? You have used force against Eritrea many times and you failed. It’s time to accept the defeat and to choose peace and order.
Somaliland is an independent, sovereign Country with a defined border, a permanent population, a government and her govt interacts with other govts. I politely invite my senior @HassanSMohamud to accept the MoU btn Somaliland and Ethiopia. It will actually help Somalia too.
I’m either late to say the following? D escalate, destabilize, tension, volatility, etc.! How about the Eritrean president saying nothing but doing a lot undercover? He, the president who is stagnant and stubborn. was not mentioned, even once by the narrator. Please, focus on the emerging forces, as well as the new world order to settle! One love, Ethiopia!
@@TrFitsumTekleyohannes the dictator seems to be the only one who was able to keep his country safe from westerners and their dirty games unlike your mama Ethiopia that failed for pay $33 million in debt and is in civil war due to western interference.
The real problem is the anti-Christ PM of Ethiopia and the ethnic federalism the country exercises which should be removed soon by armed struggle for peace and prosperous future.🔔UAE will also be shamed terribly for being the reason behind the Somaliland issue.
Local warlords wanting recognition and statehood for his tribe signoff on it and it's nothing more than the paper it's written on. This is uniting Somali people and it is good.
For whatever reason, the speaker has exaggerated the significance of the Orommuma concept in Ethiopia. It is primarily an elitist ideology that has a limited impact among Oromo, especially among Oromo Muslims who make up the largest sector of the Oromo population!
Thanks Eugene and Rania for inviting Elias and covering this issue that might not get viewers interest but very important and it shows me as a Somali that this Channel i have being part has proven that journalistic integrity still exists, we know other media don’t show this because they cherry pick what to show their audience. Thanks again Breakthrough❤
This man does not address the issue as it is. No one just signs a memorandum of understanding for popularity purposes. Ethiopias development has been crippled from a lack of a port since the break away with eritrea.They even pleadede to offer shares of their airline for port access to eritrea but wrere denied. somaliland just like Taiwan has some autonomy over its land and sea borders. Everyone must respect this deal and if they just let it be , there will be peace
Ethiopia’s development has been crippled by an endless chain of wars and an incredible level of corruption; not a luck of port! Do your homework and try to investigate and learn about what has actually been happening in Ethiopia in the past 60-70 years. You will for sure comeback and remove your comment.
Yes Eritrea has the right to deny any unfair deal. Eritrea only wants deal based on international law. On top of that Ethiopia pays billion a year to Djibouti so what makes you think Eritrea will accept a useless deal like that. Eritrea has its own national interest too. Foolish to think Ethiopia deserves more than what they are.
I’m big fan of this channel but on this segment you fell short of the standard balanced cover you commonly do on other topics. Because: 1) your guest Elias is an Erithean who is anti-Ethiopia and Anti-Somaliland 2) he made a lot of false accusations such as “Somaliland not having, referendum for the independence” totally untrue. SL did referendum where 97% of its population voted for regaining its independence. 3) nobody challenged him any of his arguments. 4) To be fair to your audience and stay on the path of honesty and moral responsibility, you must mention the side of the story of Somaliland too instead of running the Somalia narrative. The truth is that Somaliland is actually older than Somalia. Somaliland gaining its independence before Somalia.
You are wrong we Eritreans are not anti Ethiopia. That’s very ignorant. It’s Ethiopians that are anti Eritrea. Eritrea recognizes Ethiopia as a country on the other hand it’s Ethiopia that do not like to recognize Eritrea as a country and make threats to invade. Big difference there. Also Mr Elias is every educated in Horn of Africa matters. Don’t let your emotions blind you.
@@yousufaman1738 oh well. I’ll let the readers be the judge who is more emotional me and you on here. As of Eritrea being anti Ethiopian interest is not new it is on display on everywhere, without getting into who is wrong and who is right that is subject to another debate. It is equally bad if not worst the fact that Eritrea is anti Somaliland - the only true democracy in the Horn of Africa. Which had 5 presidents all elected by the people for the last 30 years while Eritrea literally had 1 president for that period. I find that very distasteful as someone who believes East African communities belong together and should work together instead of working against each other. It is even more striking because Eritrea has similar story to that of somaliland and therefore should have been understanding Somaliland’s recognition endeavour.
@@SAbdi-hd2ld you clearly have no idea how east Africa got into this situation. Eritrea was never anti Ethiopia or the interests of the HOA as a block. All what Eritrea asks for respect for international laws. Clearly you are brainwashed by western mainstream propaganda if you think democracy is a sign of a perfect nation or country. The imperialists has always used Ethiopia to destabilize the region by making Ethiopia make unnecessary conflicts here and there. This move made by Ethiopia is done as instructed to divide and conquer. The only way for Somaliland to be recognized as a country a referendum has to be made and let people in Somaliland vote. It’s that simple.
Eugene or Rania I’ve been watching you guys for years and you’re awesome consistently. Please have on a Somalilander with an opposing view to balance out this discussion. This man is incredibly biased and as always there are two sides to every story! Please consider doing this! 🙏🏾
Somaliland is run by snm militia trained by Ethiopia to overthrow Siad bare and Somalia gouvernement so they’re not up for talks. Ethiopia aggression towards Somali peninsula never ended they attacked Somali seas for hundred of years its written in history one example was Ethiopia with Portuguese defeat in Somalia ocean
He is very much baised and bringing issues that are not correlated by any means at all. Why is the recognition of Somaliland brings chaos and instability to the region? Who is against it?
Ethiopian primeminster is well known to be immature reckless maniac. The Somali federal government will defend the sovereignty and its territorial integrity. Ethiopia will remain landlocked and has been so since the independence of Eritrea from Ethiopia. Ethiopia is a dysfunctional country which has many internal conflicts with its various ethnic groups that make up Ethiopia. So far Somalia is winning on the diplomatic fronts. European Union, African Union, Egypt, OIC, Arab league and Turkey has condemned Ethiopia and asked to respect Somalias sovereignty and territorial integrity. Somalia 🇸🇴 guul insha allah.

The prime minister of Ethiopia is the person responsible for the situation to reach this level! The world must understand that the Ethiopian prime minister is a threat to the stability of the Horn of Africa and the Red Sea. It is time for the world, specially US to tell him clearly that what he is doing is unacceptable!
Dear #BreakThroughNews ... It might help to bring someone that can elaborate either the perspective of #somaliland or #ethiopia ... At the end of the day, #ethiopia is not responding to the actions of its neighbors but rather to the actions of the major geopolitical actors. Ethiopia has no intention of being a client state to anyone right now and will likely start leveraging its status in the region proactively and assertively. Its also important to take into account the difference age brings in leadership. The old guards are not only predictable but also reactive. #mladdiz ❣️
@@DekaHana38 Even I don't assume my statements to be completely right. Regardless, here is an example of where Elias is possibly wrong. He is trying to explain the situation using the past while the MoU is about the future of the region. I don't blame him since he is old-school and able to understand the thinking of the Eritrean and Somalia leadership. However, he is likely misunderstanding or unhappy about the consequences of the path chosen by the youthful Ethiopian PM, who seems to be concerned about the future and the place for Ethiopia and the Horn. He will likely leverage everything Ethiopia has to move his agenda forward and is likely the reason why the tripartite pact of 2018 couldn't move forward, along with the change in leadership in Somalia. Regardless, we shall see if you and Elias are completely right in the coming few months ☺️ #mladdiz

Be fair and honest. Somaliland is a region of Somalia just like Jubaland, Puntland, etc. You would be against this if Oromia, Amhar, Tigray regions tried to do this. This against the sovereignty of countries.

If Eritrea is independent, by the same logic Somaliland is also a sovereign nation and can decide their own fate.
Ethiopia is literally always starting something in the region, I’m supporting Somalia & Eritrea all the way. 🇸🇴 🇪🇷
It’s crazy that the UN approved Eritrea to be a sovereign nation from Ethiopia because it was colonized and created by Italy on the other hand Somaliland was colonized by England and the people of Somaliland chose to be sovereign from Somalia just like Eritrea wanted to be from Ethiopia but the UN is so political they choose and pick what they want as they go.. Ethiopia recognized it now, and other nations will follow. Helping each other is better for all East Africans. Kudos to Ethiopia and Somaliland working together…
Look at these break away small countries like Djibouti and Eritrea.. they give military bases and ports lease to a foreign countries but not to their own African neighbors.. If we share our wealths and work together, we will all benefit and prosper together.. Ethiopia wants to break this habit by any means necessary..
@@tjdln409I disagree with you. Eritrea was colonized by Ethiopia and it dissolved the Eritrean parliament on the other hand Somalia and Somaliland did a referendum after Italy and the British left their colonies. Somalis in the Somaliland at that time voted to merge into one country as both countries spoke one language and have one religion. The only way for Somaliland to break away from Somalia is to pass a referendum bill in the parliament. The Somalis in Somaliland have to vote again. From what I see most Somalilanders are against breaking away and they refuse Ethiopian presence on their lands. Ethiopia has crossed the lines.

It’s a very bone headed move by Ethiopia and quite honestly surprised. Ethiopia has probably more organised ethnic liberation movements than any country in Africa, multiple regions are clamouring for independence. They just ended a 2 year civil war against Tigray who wanted to secede. The flames in Oromia is still burning and the Somali region can blow up anytime .Not to mention Abiy completely violated the Tripartite Agreement with Eritrea & Somalia signed in 2018 which states that they must all “respecting each other's independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity”. Seems like Abiy’s agreements aren’t worth the paper they are written on.
Eritrea is not real
1st of all these r not liberation fronts, they r vagabonds backed/funded by oromo/amahara ethno-preneur elites from the diaspora whose end-game is to take power away from the democratically elected gov't of Abiy. How can u liberate by killing, raping and pillaging those same ppl u r allegedly liberating? And if those 'liberation fronts' had any support from the Amhara/Oromo ppl they would have taken power by now, but their abismal failure is evident.
Second, Ethiopia didn't infringe upon anybody's territory, Somaliland had been a country for the last 30yrs, democratically electing its leaders unlike Isaias Afeworki in Asmara who clinged to power through tyranny.
Finally, Dr Abiy has taken the country forward, and it's palpable for anyone grounded in truth, despite the western backed TPLF destructive war, the COVID-19 scamdemic, the Russian/Ukraine induced global inflation.So all this calamities u r dishing out r ur wishful thinking.

These great two journalist failed to ask the HoA "expert": why when two Africa neighbors cooperate, it's a 'reckless adventure' while the "great powers" competition in the region with more than 19 military bases, port-building & controlling is just business as usual?
Because the secessionists just lost a war to unionists in Northern Somalia and have been expelled late August. Now they gave access to the sea in another region where they’re not welcome & people there have already started protests and are threatening an armed struggle there. Even if Somalia did nothing the people there would still not accept it and it would lead to a war. If Somaliland needs to ask Ethiopia for recognition that means it doesn’t have the authority to give port access or allow a base.
What two nations? SL is a region in Somalia while Ethiopia is a collapsing state that should focus on their multiple insurgencies instead of trying to start problems with others.
Ethiopia is crumbling with civil wars and genocides all over the country specifically in the Amhara, Tigray, Somali and Afar regions. Their government tried to sign illegal "agreements" with traitors within Somalia to steal/"lease" parts of our sea. Now before those illegal agreements that violate Somalia's sovereignty, discussions could have been had. But as of now, that's not gonna happen and Somalis from all over the world are now taking about war and defending their homeland. Ethiopia has already had two wars with Eritrea already and one with Somalia in 2007. Ethiopia lost all wars of course. Ethiopia is the troublemaker in the Horn of Africa.
What neighbors? Ethiopians are pulling off a snake move by making deals with 1 tribe of the country. That's war
They always denie until the bomb explodes on them they just want to control Ethiopian ability to do business. They are always making false hope called greater somalia when somaliland was the first to make the proposal
Let' not loose the main issue. What the US fears the most is Pease in the horn. The after life after the possible end of war in ethiopia is what is happening now - with the latest push for a port. Please make a note that Eth's move for a port is instigated by the US. I refer you to the US Congress hearing and the statement and support by the California rep. for the port interest expressed by Eth.

Ethiopias problems comes from its ruling elites. No matter what govt comes they will always bring up access to ports issues whenever they have internal issues. As Eritrean we know how you feel as our country has always been threatened by Ethiopian invasion.
@@yousufaman1738 - That doesn’t explain why they invaded in ‘06 to install their puppet in Mogadishu, or why they kept raiding into our country habitually to catch “escaped rebels”.

The parts they don’t “own”, they still scheme against and invade on a whim.

It’s better for Ethiopia to seek peace and make deals with neighbours based on international laws or else this expansionist mentality will only destroy Ethiopia from inside.
Ethiopia sent its military to Somalia agreed by the Somalian government so it doesn’t fall into chaos which would effect the whole region. Eritrea has a observer status in the Arab League and has good relations with the Arab countries that border the Red Sea, in saying that these Arab countries and Eritrea have a fear that Ethiopian will dominate the Red Sea, trade and military wise so they do their best to not let Ethiopia have trade and military port on the Red Sea.
I was born in Hargeysa in todays Somaliland, grew up with my proud countrymen who have a rich and unique history, language and set of customs and traditions that set them apart from other cultures.
I love most what my country somalia has been at different times in its history, the vanquisher of European colonialism and the tyrant siyaad barre, a beacon of opportunity and hope.
To love one's country is to be proud of it, but also not to be afraid to confront its problems and work to solve them. Crime of betraying one's country, especially by trying to kill its sovereign and giving aid and comfort to the enemy and setting up a parallel government when an enemy brutally takes over your nation and your countrymen into submission.
Everyone knows that Ethiopia is the only African country that has been a colonial power in Africa over another African nation that Europeans have done to Africa, for example Eritrea has been fighting for years for its independence from Ethiopia, our brothers in Ogaden are still under colonial Ethiopia.
Ethiopia has never been somali friendly nation, their dreams are now fulfilled through idiots who are in power over my country today who are soo busy cannibalizing all somalia and somliland assets like there is no tomorrow.
In South Somalia Turkiye and various Arab countries really control somalia as a whole, like healthcare, ports, airports, banks, there is almost nothing owned by Somalis in Somalia right now.
In Puntland, some thieves in same clan are looting the assets of the Somali people there, same looting is happening in Somaliland as well.
Just doing something bad or dishonest and selling out our beautiful coasts and coastal areas gives you idiots nothing or any success, power. History will judge you all harshly.
Indigenous people of North America let/welcome Europeans in their land, now they live in reserves, if a foreigner with power from near or far into our country it can happen to us Somalis , if we let ethiopia our enemies in our country. To help invading ethiopian forces in northern somalia, sounds like high treason to me and should lead to the grave and refers to betrayal of one's own country by attempting to materially aid its enemies.
Soomalya ha noolaato
Don’t have animosity toward Turkiye 🇹🇷 in the near future you will see that they are more trustworthy than USA England or France
Ok
I'm very happy to hear that my brother. Don't let these puppets separate us. We are one people with one language with one culture and one religion.
You are wrong. Oromo are not under colonial power and that’s coming from an Oromo. Ethiopia is a Nation not an Ethno nation, which means we have united under a federation for years.
No ethnicity in Ethiopia wants to separate. It doesn’t make sense economically or strategically since we are surrounded with potential threats.
What are you complaining about Turkiye's role in Somalia? I thought it was very positive.
We Somalis have had so many wars with Ethiopia for a centuries and Ethiopia is aware Somali fighting spirit. However, Ethiopian aggressive towards Somalia go whole the way 1414 and beyond, every time they tried they have been defeated, retaliated and completely annihilated. The whole of Ethiopia was about to fall under Imam Ahmed Gurey1530, but saved by a Portuguese by Pedro da Gama, son of navigator Vasco da Gama.
Ogaden War of 1977-78 between Somalia and Ethiopia, Somalia defeated Ethiopia and came as close as a few kilometers from the capital of Itiopia Addis Ababa but saved as usual and previous conflicts by Soviet Union and Cuba, which were seeking a cross-continent socialist alliance. If they think we have internal conflicts to be exploited and invade our country, we are willing to give them one more round. Somali Patriotism is what all Somalis have in common one for all, all for one, do not underestimate when it comes defending our motherland from north to south. Soomaliya ha noolaato.

This guy gat very Jealous when Ethiopia have access to the Port. Why for Eritrea happen independent??
Can the guest say something about Eritrean achievements during the past 3 decades ? Let the Libyan deserts talk and let the Mediterranean Sea say something for Eritrean citizens who lost their lives while crossing to Europe. Eritrean government wants to make sure Ethiopia is highly dependent on Eritrean resources and wanted to use Asab port at high cost but Ethiopia decided to develop and use Somaliland’s sea port. Somaliland has been self autonomous during the past 3 decades. Eritrea has been given a chance to cooperate for development for mutual benefits.
Eritrea was sanctioned and Ethiopia was attempting to invade it multiple times. When would they have the chance to develop? Eritrea has been fighting since independence.
Undoubtedly, Ethiopia and Somaliland will soon start to realize the objectives of the MoU. The coordinated information warfare launched by Eritrea's and Somalia's government backed media outlets can't stop that from happening. My advice to our brothers from Eritrea and Somalia governments- don't fool yourself on how the majority of Ethiopians would view the MoU between Et and SL. Any attempt to sabotage the agreement between the two parties may lead to the end of the regime in Asmara or/and Mogadishu.
I don't think eritrean youth were kidnapped by eritrean gov and made to cross Libya and midditernian sea - you can blame this to the stupid eritrean culture backhome which encourage ppl to immigrate and enslaved mind of africa that worships and seeks it's privious master.
We, as African, need to self reflect and emancipate ourself.
Ethiopia invaded both Eritrea and Somalia and its aggressions must be dealt with for ones
As an Ethiopian, I think Abiy Ahmed is making a huge mistake. I've heard various interviews of Somaliland people regarding this deal and majority seem to be against it. They all keep saying they don't want 120 million infidels being unleashed into their lands lol. In my opinion, if anybody should benefit from Ethiopian resources, it should be Eritreans. At least they don't view us as infidels and we share a lot.
Don't worry my friend, We are Ethiopians 🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹

@@salemhailu11-11 my comments are based on facts but I love honesty, if you're truthful. European colonialists divided Somalia into 5 different countries which is the only country in Africa divided that much. These are:
1. Italian Somaliland
2. British Somaliland.
3. French Somaliland or DJIBOUTI
4. Western Somaliland given to Ethiopia
5. NFD given to Kenya by the British
REASONS AS TO WHY
Firstly Somalia has had a long, much celebrated and rich history and are renowned for their bravery and generosity and high self-esteem.
Secondly they've the same culture, religion and language.
Thirdly they've huge natural resources like oil, gas, gold, uranium etc.
Fourthly Somali peninsula, along with Yemen, has the most strategic location in the red sea.
Finally we Somalis don't want to be divided, it's imposed on us and we're not and will not be satisfied with this division ever.

The conflict between the Somalis and Ethiopia is not today's conflict. This is a conflict that is thousands of years old. Ethiopia has ambitions to seize Somalia, Sudan and Yemen.

Now the minister of defence in Somaliland was resigned by himself because of the MOU. Somaliland is state in Somalia it also have three brake away areas Awdal States and Khatumo states as well as isak land.
He was going to be sacked. Investigation is being done in his bank accounts. It's estimated that he has received more than 800k from the Qatar via the failed state of Zoomalia
He resigned because his friend Omar Gelle president of Djibouti don want this deal because it will damage their economy
Cause he was a real defense minister 🫡, not going to be a puppy for the Ethiopian.

Unfortunately, your guest is missing the elephant in the room. Ethiopia put a lot on the table and was shortchanged by Eritrea and Somalia after their tripartite pact in 2018. A lot has changed in Ethiopia internally since then and the Ethiopian PM is in a stronger position since coming to power in 2018. I understand the fear from #eritrea and #somalia since they small states compared to Ethiopia. However, just like it did for Eritrea and Somalia, Ethiopia is now putting its weight behind #Somaliland ... The difference is SL, like #Djibouti, is very much aware of the long-term benefit of having Ethiopia on its side. Btw, time will sort the matter on the ground since the MoU is expected evolve into formal agreements in a month or so. What is worrying is the possibility that Eritrea and Somalia might take actions on the ground beyond supporting proxies and Ethiopia might decide to go beyond recognizing SL. #mladdiz
I am Kenyan and I don't understand what the deal is,,,Ethiopia and the Somaliland made a deal that could help develop that region in years to come and I think what is there is Somalia and other countries are jealous because they will lose these Billions that will go to Somaliland....I know politicians especially in Africa only think about themselves and Ethiopia is developing fast and will have money to spend.That is all it is. If right now Ethiopia makes the same deal with Somalia you will see opinions changing. It is about the money. Look at Eritrea, got independence but they have nothing to show for the 30+ years,,,Just national pride but they are among the poorest countries in the world. It is just about the money and Somaliland getting Billions of Dollars on the lease is not going down well...Just my opinion. We hope they resolve this issue peacefully
Why you say Somaliland is like Jabuti, educate yourself before you talk, Ethiopian they well known somali people we fought different times but now this issue reunite Somali people.
You probably need to read and have understanding more on the regional politics. Somaliland is a break away regionin Somalia just like the northern kenya always wanted to separate from kenya. Recognition of somaliland will open a Pandora box. It will lead the recognition of Tigray, sidama and many other regions in ETHOPIA as independent state by Somalia and Eritrea. For kenya, you know so well there's was a movements in coastal Kenya and Northern frontier districts so kenya will be at least three nations too. We better be careful

Well, this whole thing about Ethiopian port access is instigated by the West and gulf state (UAE & Saudi’s) to contain Houthi’s in Yemen and Iran. Ethiopia, as usual wants to be a mercenary for the interest of these powers. It has nothing to do with the economy. As a result Africans and other peoples in the region are being aware that Ethiopia is a threat to all as a client state who is causing instability and escalation of war. Now, Ethiopia is bankrupt, its people are dying of hunger and war.
To protect its legitimacy and validity, the African Union should move out of Addis, as Ethiopia does not represent the spirit or the policies of that organization that advocates the betterment of Africans and much less to Ethiopians' interests.
Most particularly, how would one square this behavior of Ethiopian regime, with the recent devastating war against those renegade Woyanne’s who wanted to secede? Abbiy now recognizes a Somali region and turns against his ally in Somali republic. Of course, he betrayed Eritrea as well and is now fanning the flame of war in the region. It exposes the Nobel prize givers in Oslo who are kow towing to politics. Abiy does not represent peace and it is a joke to give him a Nobel 'Peace Prize',
Ethiopia is now a very dangerous state to a peaceful coexistence and a destabilizing force in the Horn of Africa. On this ground and its absolute dependence on outside powers for its economic and political existence, it is prudent to state that it remain landlocked and only allowed access for economic purposes. Besides, it is beset with myriad internal problems.
A zebra remains a zebra.
Eritrea was a traitor to the Ethiopian Powerhuas,
Today's Eritea (EPLF and TPLF) fought against Ethiopia for years with Western help. 33 years ago, when communism ended, these rebels, TPLF and the current Eritrean government came to Addis to take over the Goverment Ethiopia, .After that They sold Ethiopia to the West. After the collapse of the communist era in Russia and the Eastern Bloc, Ethiopia was broken at the time. The West then handed the country over to the rebels and the TPLF established itself as the government in Ethiopia and let go of Eritrea without consulting the Ethiopian people. Ethiopia became landlocked.
Ethiopia can retake its access to the Red Sea by force, but the West will not allow that. Eritrea, Somalia and Djibouti are there to block the Ethiopian power center that could resist Western power.
Eritrea, Djibouti and Somalis are the fake Countries countries in the Horn of Africa. In order to keep Ethiopia weakon.

Local warlords wanting recognition and statehood for his tribe signoff on it and it's nothing more than the paper it's written on. This is uniting Somali people and it is good.
WARLORDS?!?!!! WE ARE A DEMOCRATIC AND SOVREIGN NATION THANK YOU
For whatever reason, the speaker has exaggerated the significance of the Orommuma concept in Ethiopia. It is primarily an elitist ideology that has a limited impact among Oromo, especially among Oromo Muslims who make up the largest sector of the Oromo population!
Thanks Eugene and Rania for inviting Elias and covering this issue that might not get viewers interest but very important and it shows me as a Somali that this Channel i have being part has proven that journalistic integrity still exists, we know other media don’t show this because they cherry pick what to show their audience. Thanks again Breakthrough❤
This man does not address the issue as it is. No one just signs a memorandum of understanding for popularity purposes. Ethiopias development has been crippled from a lack of a port since the break away with eritrea.They even pleadede to offer shares of their airline for port access to eritrea but wrere denied. somaliland just like Taiwan has some autonomy over its land and sea borders. Everyone must respect this deal and if they just let it be , there will be peace
Ethiopia’s development has been crippled by an endless chain of wars and an incredible level of corruption; not a luck of port! Do your homework and try to investigate and learn about what has actually been happening in Ethiopia in the past 60-70 years. You will for sure comeback and remove your comment.
Ethiopia has aggressions against all its neighbors Egypt Sudan Djibouti Somalia Eritrea
Yes Eritrea has the right to deny any unfair deal. Eritrea only wants deal based on international law. On top of that Ethiopia pays billion a year to Djibouti so what makes you think Eritrea will accept a useless deal like that. Eritrea has its own national interest too. Foolish to think Ethiopia deserves more than what they are.
I’m big fan of this channel but on this segment you fell short of the standard balanced cover you commonly do on other topics. Because: 1) your guest Elias is an Erithean who is anti-Ethiopia and Anti-Somaliland
2) he made a lot of false accusations such as “Somaliland not having, referendum for the independence” totally untrue. SL did referendum where 97% of its population voted for regaining its independence.
3) nobody challenged him any of his arguments.
4) To be fair to your audience and stay on the path of honesty and moral responsibility, you must mention the side of the story of Somaliland too instead of running the Somalia narrative. The truth is that Somaliland is actually older than Somalia. Somaliland gaining its independence before Somalia.
You are wrong we Eritreans are not anti Ethiopia. That’s very ignorant. It’s Ethiopians that are anti Eritrea. Eritrea recognizes Ethiopia as a country on the other hand it’s Ethiopia that do not like to recognize Eritrea as a country and make threats to invade. Big difference there. Also Mr Elias is every educated in Horn of Africa matters. Don’t let your emotions blind you.
@@yousufaman1738 oh well. I’ll let the readers be the judge who is more emotional me and you on here. As of Eritrea being anti Ethiopian interest is not new it is on display on everywhere, without getting into who is wrong and who is right that is subject to another debate. It is equally bad if not worst the fact that Eritrea is anti Somaliland - the only true democracy in the Horn of Africa. Which had 5 presidents all elected by the people for the last 30 years while Eritrea literally had 1 president for that period. I find that very distasteful as someone who believes East African communities belong together and should work together instead of working against each other.
It is even more striking because Eritrea has similar story to that of somaliland and therefore should have been understanding Somaliland’s recognition endeavour.
@@SAbdi-hd2ld you clearly have no idea how east Africa got into this situation. Eritrea was never anti Ethiopia or the interests of the HOA as a block. All what Eritrea asks for respect for international laws. Clearly you are brainwashed by western mainstream propaganda if you think democracy is a sign of a perfect nation or country. The imperialists has always used Ethiopia to destabilize the region by making Ethiopia make unnecessary conflicts here and there. This move made by Ethiopia is done as instructed to divide and conquer. The only way for Somaliland to be recognized as a country a referendum has to be made and let people in Somaliland vote. It’s that simple.
Eugene or Rania I’ve been watching you guys for years and you’re awesome consistently. Please have on a Somalilander with an opposing view to balance out this discussion. This man is incredibly biased and as always there are two sides to every story! Please consider doing this! 🙏🏾
That's 1 tribe out of 5 in hargesa, they are sellouts and hold unnecessary grudge over all somalis. They should be charged with treason
He's not an opponent of Somaliland. If Somalilanders were to be brought up, then two Somalilanders with opposing views should be brought up.
Somaliland is run by snm militia trained by Ethiopia to overthrow Siad bare and Somalia gouvernement so they’re not up for talks.
Ethiopia aggression towards Somali peninsula never ended they attacked Somali seas for hundred of years its written in history one example was Ethiopia with Portuguese defeat in Somalia ocean
He is very much baised and bringing issues that are not correlated by any means at all.
Why is the recognition of Somaliland brings chaos and instability to the region? Who is against it?
@aboyaq7259 He is so baised and he is siding blindly with Somalia.
And that is not gonna work.
Ethiopian primeminster is well known to be immature reckless maniac. The Somali federal government will defend the sovereignty and its territorial integrity. Ethiopia will remain landlocked and has been so since the independence of Eritrea from Ethiopia.
Ethiopia is a dysfunctional country which has many internal conflicts with its various ethnic groups that make up Ethiopia. So far Somalia is winning on the diplomatic fronts. European Union, African Union, Egypt, OIC, Arab league and Turkey has condemned Ethiopia and asked to respect Somalias sovereignty and territorial integrity. Somalia 🇸🇴 guul insha allah.
Somalia is failed country. Somaliand has the right to work with Ethiopia.
Didn't you hear the guest mentioned civil in so called Somaliland. Did hear him say last year a large part broke away.
Khatumo and awdal are breakaway of somaliland, stay your soil,one clan doesnt get become a country
Uhm only one city did
And it's not even our fault they seceded
Though it is the president's fault for making them hate us
To sign a deal with in recognized region is null and void
Why do you ask Eritrean abour Ethiopia?
Decolonize your minds my African brothers and sisters..., get rid of the foreign, outside, invading, colonizing, and enslaving nations from your politics and government operations and affairs.... Unite all of Africa..., stop fighting against each other, as there is no time for tribalism against your fellow brothers and sisters on the African Continent.... Is Somalia somehow blocking the people/government of Somaliland access to the ports of the African coast? If so for what reason? And so, why not for the Somaliland people/government acquire assistance from neighboring Ethiopia for assistance with accessing the port? If that is the case.., This type none-sense must end now!!! All of Africa must unite now!! No more infighting.., we must unite now... or else all that of what Somali Nations and all other African countries are fighting among and against themselves about will be taken away from them by the colonizing and enslaving nations... soon... so we all need to be uniting and coming together and helping each other with fighting against our true enemies..... bnb
World is village today, am amhara know every pit in East Africa.
2:27 anyone have a source for this?
U get a wrong person to tell you about Ethiopia
Somaliland a State is playing a dangerous game
Excellent, thank you - I’ve just subscribed to Mr Amare’s channel. 😊
The prime minister of Ethiopia is the person responsible for the situation to reach this level! The world must understand that the Ethiopian prime minister is a threat to the stability of the Horn of Africa and the Red Sea. It is time for the world, specially US to tell him clearly that what he is doing is unacceptable!
Dear #BreakThroughNews ... It might help to bring someone that can elaborate either the perspective of #somaliland or #ethiopia ... At the end of the day, #ethiopia is not responding to the actions of its neighbors but rather to the actions of the major geopolitical actors. Ethiopia has no intention of being a client state to anyone right now and will likely start leveraging its status in the region proactively and assertively. Its also important to take into account the difference age brings in leadership. The old guards are not only predictable but also reactive. #mladdiz ❣️
as someone who is from Somaliland, Elias is completely right.
@@DekaHana38 Even I don't assume my statements to be completely right. Regardless, here is an example of where Elias is possibly wrong. He is trying to explain the situation using the past while the MoU is about the future of the region. I don't blame him since he is old-school and able to understand the thinking of the Eritrean and Somalia leadership. However, he is likely misunderstanding or unhappy about the consequences of the path chosen by the youthful Ethiopian PM, who seems to be concerned about the future and the place for Ethiopia and the Horn. He will likely leverage everything Ethiopia has to move his agenda forward and is likely the reason why the tripartite pact of 2018 couldn't move forward, along with the change in leadership in Somalia. Regardless, we shall see if you and Elias are completely right in the coming few months ☺️ #mladdiz
@@dagmawii.e.4800 your Galla Oromo overrated your ability loved it don’t cry when our allies in region hold their support for fictional state of utopia
@@mohamedhussein4124 Like I always say, time will judge the situation. I would like to hear back from you sometime in March 2024 since the MoU is likely to transform into multiple agreements. Regardless, we have already opened Pandora's box and SL will likely receive recognition. Either way, it's beneficial for Ethiopia and the Horn. #mladdiz
Be fair and honest. Somaliland is a region of Somalia just like Jubaland, Puntland, etc. You would be against this if Oromia, Amhar, Tigray regions tried to do this. This against the sovereignty of countries.
Shabia
can count on our horn brothers to start something stupid. They better find a way to cooperate. Somalis need to get rid of that clan "qabil" thing of theirs and they'll be untouchable - otherwise it's easy to divide them. Greetings from Kenya
Somalia is always welcoming business port but not military base port.
What do u mean something stupid brother?
Decolonize your minds my African brothers and sisters..., get rid of the foreign, outside, invading, colonizing, and enslaving nations from your politics and government operations and affairs....

Please don't comment on Somali traditions ethopia!!
I agree my Kenyan brother. Luckily, Abiy has done the impossible and made almost all the clans unite.
The hypocrisy the Eritrean guy is beyond. Didn’t they breakaway from Ethiopia illegally??
Did not Ethiopia annex Eritrea? Eritrea corrected a historical mistake by winning its independence through military victory fair and square.
Somaliland won it's independence militarily fair and square
Ethiopia actually annexed Eritrea illegally during our federation.
