However, this shows that Ethiopia supports the Federal leaders agenda of taking over Gedo police and Dervishes from Jubbaland. Caasimada.com and other blogs report now Kenya massing troops in Mandere, where Janan, former security minister of Jubbaland is located.
The Ethiopian officer says ‘we’ and adds per Somali translation that ‘ we are one country’ and ‘ we are working becoming one country’. The officer may have been talking about Somali troops working for their one country, but Somalis are already one country, no need to becoming one
This letter statements inclined some to think that what the officer was talking about was old Ethiopian( some of them at least) dream of uniting entire Horn of Africa under one state, ‘as it used to be’, some believe, in the ‘old days’. This interpretation appears to be valid.
Since the latter interpretation is valid, based on above translation, it is incumbent upon Somali officials to clarify it.
Ethiopian and Somali troops are not in the country to unify the two neighboring states, but to pacify #Somalia so that the entire horn may live in peace
