Ethiopia Invades Somalia Again
This is good news for the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia. It gives them the needed forces to hold territory against Al Shabaab. While this will spark recruitment to Al Shabaab, if used properly Ethiopia's new intervention may be used to bring the military side of the conflict to an end. However, do not be too hopeful as the Ethiopian military probably has the resources to conduct up to six months of occupation, but then will probably stalemate like the previous occupation did. How Puntland responds to this will be crucial, as their merger with the TFG was the lifesaver when Ethiopia withdrew.

After heavy thinking and much thoughts I have decided to write on this blog so that the Somali youth will at least know what I have in my mind even if it's just once. The net is the best place for the Somali youth around the globe to chat online and express their thoughts and exchange their own ideas. the net is the only tool that the Somalians even the kids can use to have their voices heard. The Somali youth has being neglected in the Somali politics by the arrogant old men back home. These old men who are currently battling for the control of the country are just after their own interest and don't think of any other thing, their kids and families stay in the western countries where they have access to a good education, good medication and live comfortable life. this is time that we have being waiting for, this is our very own time and we should not allow these uneducated men to continue their old tactics of tribalism, killing of innocent citizens , looting and destroying the properties of our very own people back home for the sake of their own profit. I strongly encourage the Somali youth to stand up together, have their say and force these old men to retire from their clan based politics.
