It is just an opinion folks, you can disagree with merits of argument, but don't throw insults back and forth at each other. Put the hatred and anymosity away and engage in a constructive dialogue with out hating each other, I for one like Eritrea, and had high hopes for that country, but it has been squandered by its inept, power hungery leader and those he control….that is not to say the people are our enemies..Somaliland will always keep the best interest of its neighbors at heart because as Africans we share common bond. Despite the issues that divide us, we still share that bond.

We all know where alshabab gets its support and the evil it is instigating. we should not turn blind eye on these horors. it is changing the fabric of our society…importing unislamic ideologies that kill and harm other muslims. Or it will haunt us forever. Our goal should be getting rid of this evil with united effort. Remember no matter how u justify killing or hating another Muslim or Neighbor, your God is watching and you will pay for it in the Hereafter if also not in this world… Those of you who bad mouth other people in the name of Somaliland, you know u don't represent Somalilanders…we all know what Somalilander stand for Peace, Justice and Free Spirit…Good bless.

I am not sure if you speak for Somalians. You is joining part of writers who are commissioned to write unsubstantiated allegation against Eritrea. They Say History does repeat itself Eritrea has won before and will win again.
There are many who are not really interested to see peace in Somalia but the truth is the People and government had wish only for Somalia. That is because of we really Love the people of Somalia and we are upset when we see Somalia’ns are mistreated by Ethiopia and others.

I totally agree with the writer, the so-called president of Eritreaa is a psycho, for the last 15 to 18 years since Eritrea declared Independence from Ethiopia, the people of Eritrea had no chance to rebuild their shattered Country from 30 years of previous war with Ethiopia.

Eritrea today is poorer nation then it has ever been even when it was under the Ethiopian rule. This psycho should know leadership means nothing if you do not care for those you lead.
It's time for Afework to leave Eritre to those Eritrean who can truly lead

Dear sir,

Eritrea s the only country that is helping the Somali people to take their own destiny in their own hands. If you are not an agent of neocolonialism you ought to apologiz to the Eritrean people and their leader.

What do you stand in life Sr? Is money everything to you. What do you want to be remembered with. why do you just go make up stories every day. Africa has its own problem and we don't need people like to add more shit to our life. Why don't you stand for truth, poor and helpless. You are not helping – Mr. We are talking about people – I know you have to earn money but not this way Sr. How do you go to sleep – Sr. Do you have any eithic at all. I know the West is busy pouring fuel to the fire every day – for a long time know. What do you call your reporting – what is the purpose of it. I beg you to think and think hard about your values – stop getting used by money. Have some value. If this is all you report – find something else to do – find some meaning to your life.

I don't know where you get your facts my brother, but to the best of my knowledge, Eritrea supports no single group against another. Eritrea policy from the got go is one and only one . { Somali problem should be solved by somalis only} and Eritrea invited all somalis to the confrence in asmara, and somalis from all walks of life participated to hummer out their problems. That is what real friends do. But the nosion that Eritrea supports Shebab or other groups is the same repeted lie that comes from the ethinic minority regime an Addis to confuse the real situation in Somalia and cover thier attrocities they commited agains somali people. So far there is not a single evidence that Eritrea supplies any weapon or money or involever in military activities in Somalia, including the 2000 eritrean troops troops that was said to be in Somalia. As for Mr. Pham, i can say as a layman, i am better informed than him when it comes to the horn of Africa. No outsider could be an expert in my own household, especially the Pham character.

The camel pursues its journey while the dog is still barking!Afwerki doesn’t have time to run after fabricated roumers.His vision is as clear as crystal,to see a strong united democratic somalia.Afwerki never entertained with suffering of the somalian people,who deserves peace and prospority and to be masters of their own afairs.Unfortunately,the somalian people has been traped by the ill concieved political ploy of the TPLF regime the US administrations.

We say in Amharic, “Ahyawn tito dawlawn”. He has preferred to hop on a bandwagon with those blaming Eritrea for the ills of Somalia. It is not Afeworki who invaded Somalia and caused incalculable damage. It is not Afeworki who has been supplying weapons to Somali warlords for so many years. It is not Afeworki who is dividing Somalis and imposing leaders. Afeworki gave refuge to the current Somali President. Has the President suddenly changed from a terrorist to a Statesman in a matter of a year? I don’t think there are many naive people in the Horn who would buy the writer’s argument or take Pham seriously. Stop blaming Afeworki and address the real issue.

It is amazing how much clout a racist Asian American has over the writer of this article. Mr. Pham has been known to be wrong on several occasions in his analysis simply because he gets his funding from right wing organizations who support Ethiopia which in turn supports Somaliland's outlook towards a selfish interest. Please spare us Mr. Egal. Sophia Tesfamariam does her research before she writes and 99% of the time she has been accurate when it comes to the horn of Africa region. Get your house straight and then you can accuse Eritrea. We Eritreans openly have said we appreciate what Somali's did for us and it does not refer to Somaliland only but all Somalis. So becareful when you accuse Eritrea and try to be a tool for a racist Asian American who thinks he knows what is best for the horn of Africa. To begin with he has not been to the region recently and by sitting here in the US and penning racist articles for cash, his point of view amount to nothing.

Where is the information you are hiding that Eritrea give a shelter to curent president of Somalia Mr Sherif Ahmed. What about the information that Eritrea opposed the IGAD agrement to invade Somalia by Ethiopian. Somlians, Ethiopians and Eritreans have the same enemy those who write incorrect information.

Dont blame the situation in Somalia on the Eritrean president. Blam eit on somalians that cant unite and fight off external forces, you should take great advice from the man who brought ndependence to a country that had so many enemies, like you do now, like the U.S and the rest of the West and Ethiopia.

and that you called the horrific invasion from ethiopia an ill advised invasion is comical, liberate your country like Eritrea did, stop blaming it on Afwerki.
