		<description>lol, u guys are really funny. I cant believe you talk high of the ethiopian army in somalia. Somalia has been a country without goverment for the last 18 years. The ethipian army is not fighting a capable opponent. Its fighting a small militia. In 1977 ethiopia was crashed by somalia until they had to get help from russia and cuba. Read history before putting  comments here about how good ethiopian army is . 40,000 cubans had to come help ethiopia.I doubt ethiopia will be succesfull against a peaceful somalia which has an army .</description>

		<description>After reading all these recommendations  for the Ethiopian army (the equivalent of the Sudanese Janjaweed in Ethiopia) to free the suffering people of Iraq, Darfur and Timbuktu, I can&#039;t help but wounder how many of these bloggers really know the plight of the people of Ethiopia under this mercenary war machine.

Understandably, the Tigrean government (the minority ethnic group ruling Ethiopia) agents such as Abera Demeksa are trying to make a mountain out of a molehill hoping that the struggle to end their dictatorial and child-killer regime will some how die down out of frustration.

I promise you this: whether the world ignores the battered Ethiopian public or not, however our painful scream is inaudible to your ears or our effort seem futile under your eyes, that Dracula regime of Meles Zenawi, who has committed untold amounts of massacre and crimes against humanity not to mention the treasonous act of making Ethiopia the most populace land locked country in the world, will be brought down in a very short time.

So, good luck in your search for avengers and saviors in Darfur and Iraq, since it&#039;s not going to be Meles the child-killer Zarqawi and his cult-follower military.

		<description>Ever since I read about the sudden withdrawl of terrorists in Africa I&#039;ve been asking myself this question.
&quot;Why can&#039;t we do the same to Sadr City and put an end to some of these terrorists in Baghdad?&quot;  Just like Reagan mistakenly quipped over an open mike, &quot;The bombing starts in five minutes.&quot;
The hell with collateral damage!

		<description>Dear PM Meles Zenawi,



Thank you so much for routing these low life Talibani cockroaches who showed up at your doorstep to wage a &quot;holy war&quot; against Ethiopia. I am absolutely certain that your gallant and heroic army will wipe out all these thugs within the next few days. Nobody will be able to save these low life terrorist thugs from the wrath of the mighty Ethiopian army. Neither the do-nothing Arab League nor the Erithrean mafias will be able to save these cockroaches.

The Ethio-Somali forces won because they were fighting for the right cause. You remember,the UIC killed a fellow for watching a Soccer game on TV! There arealso anecdotal stories of people being behaded for not praying five-times a-day!

The other reason, perhaps the main one, is that the Ethiopian military forces are of a hybrid nature: A. A. They are well easoned guerrilla fighters and B. They are a major conventional military force in Africa! They are prone to switch gears on you when you expect them to do one thing instead ofthe other. Their legendary lond-distancerunners are much like that. One of them, Miroots Yifter, used to be referred to as &quot;Yifter The Shifter&quot;, because, when you thought he had used up the last ounce of energy, he, predictably, shifted gears on his competition the last minute, to snatch a seemingly unlikely victory!

The moral of all this is: Dont&#039;t mess with them Ethiopians! Most of all, Don&#039;t mess with Meles, their rather clairvoyant and near-genious leader.

		<description>Dear Friends ,  It  is a   good  artcle  but  some  of  the prediction  and  commnets  given  by  scolars are irrlivant or not  supported  by facts.First histry  tells  us there  is  no  time  that  Ethiopia  went to invade  any  country for plot of  land, but not  means  we  are  weak  people rather  strong, peoce  love and patient people .
We  also souldn&#039;t forget  that Ethipia has suffered lot  from an  agression  attmpet  made  by  difernt extrimistsbased  in somalia  and even by  the lated  dectator Zidebare  of somalia, who  preched  his  people to  collect ornages  and  bannas  from Ethiopia somalia .
By  the  way,We  don&#039;t  have  any  problem  with the poor somlians  who  are  ur brtohersa nd  sistres   ,but  with  the extremists , who are  become  real  threat  even  for  the west.

Please let us  be reaistic  and  try  to  sort   whatis  behind  the  truth  and  the propagnda .

We also  sahre common  values  of  people  in Darfur Iraqu, and  Afaganistan ,  becuse  we  are  one  of  the few **censored**ries , where musim  and christans live,  peacefully . so  if  there  is any  need  of  humanty  we  don&#039;t retreat  to  make an  intervantion t  help ur  brothers and sistres , unlike  the  western. Ingenral Ethiopia&#039;s  intervantion  in somalia   s  not looking  for oil  or  to creat another  civil  war  instead  it is to defend  ur  country  from extremistes /  Mujahidists. that is  why UIC culdn&#039;t resist a single  amry of both Ethiopian&#039;s and TNG

		<description>to say that Ethiopia won because the Ethiopian army is not under media scrutiny is absurd and therefor not concerned with civilian deaths is absurd.

The army won because they are better armed and fought instead of just bombing civilians (like Lebanon).

The war is not over, and real victory comes when the transitional govt of Somalia puts together a good national government.

Ethiopians are not savages that do not care about civilian deaths. One does not win a war by killing civilians and increasing hatred towards the invading army. One wins by minimizing civilian death, organization and bravery.

		<description>Who cares which prediction is holding up now?
The good news is that the Islamofascists are on the run just like the Taliban.

One report I read quoted an Islamo guy talking about the huge losses they were suffering at the hands of the professional Ethiopian army.  He said it was more like a slaughter of their &quot;children&quot; upwards of 1,000.

Typical to the Islamic fundamentalists, they throw out their young in fanatical waves that work great on unarmed civilians and especially women and children.  Put them against a real army and they go down faster than the Taliban.

I&#039;m going to place the blame for this on President Bush.

Go US Special Forces!
