The path to Somalia's reunification and pacification will not be an easy and brief one; if not any other external factor, Abyssinia – fallaciously re-baptized as Ethiopia – will attempt all possible tricks to make the path for the Somalis impossible to take.

What happened in Djibouti is indicative; reports published in the world's mass media (http://www.ayyaantuu.com/Oromiyaa/NewsBlog/tabid/36/EntryID/2396/Default.aspx) make state of talks interrupted upon the arrival of the unrepresentative pseudo-ambassador of Neo-Nazi tyrant Meles Zenawi at the venue of the conference.

More specifically, "the Somali talks held in the neighboring country of Djibouti resumed on Thursday after short halt of the talks on Wednesday…. The presence of the Ethiopian Ambassador caused the delegation from opposition group to quit the talks and leave the conference room. The Somali opposition group based in Eritrea archrival of Ethiopia have previously refused to sit down with the government delegations demanding first the Ethiopian troops supporting the TFG to leave Somali soil.

The gathering which is still on the beginning phase recommenced on Thursday after the organizers the UN called all representatives from neighboring countries not to come to the edgy talks".

There is one clear fact that must be understood by all the Somali patriots, all those who passionately desire to see an independent, integral, free Somalia emerge at last; anything that plays in favor of fake 'Ethiopia' must be played down.

There is no point in postponing hopes of military supremacy and victory over the Abyssinian Neo-nazi military machine, if a diplomatic victory can be obtained earlier.

There is no need for Somalia to be further destroyed, more deeply divided, and more gravely deprived from peace, prosperity and progress.

Somalia cannot become a field of experiments, ineffective intransigence, and political surrealism.

Divergence, but Trust

The Somali political forces committed to the National Cause must realize that divergence is always a factor in politics, and it cannot be eliminated. Never all can agree on everything.

This understood, what matters is to contribute – in the fastest possible way – to Somalia's re-liberation and reunification. In the process, many will disagree with others as regards the way, the method, the means.

At this point, all Somalis must think twice; the first time they must think – as usually – about the various possible options, and then pick up the one they consider as correct.

The second thought should evolve around the following question:

- Is it possible that our choice fits in any possible way the interests of Abyssinia, which is and will remain until its final disintegration Somalia's most venomous foe?

Some Somali Misperceptions

Some basic perceptions should set the background on which later considerations will be founded and further developed.

Many foreign countries have acted against Somalia over the past 50 years; England, Russia (as UUSR), America.

However, none of them fed so deeply seated, racist, barbaric, criminal and inhuman feelings against Somalia as Abyssinia has always had; none of them was characterized by the perverse anti-Somali predisposition and by the hysterical and most anti-human desire for revenge which shaped Neo-Nazi Abyssinia's policy against Somalia.

Anti-Somali Abyssinian Hysteria, Racism and Odium

Never ever in the World History did a country hate, plan the destruction of its neighbor, and perpetrated so criminal deeds in an invaded territory as Abyssinia against Somalia.

Actually, it was not Siad Barre's Victorious War in Ogaden (which was outmaneuvered by intervention of a nuclear superpower, USSR, and its satellites) that kept the minds of the Amhara and Tigray brotherly dictators, Mengistu Haile and Meles Zenawi, fixed in Anti-Somali Hatred and Passion for Inhuman Revenge.

It was a permanently hurting and humiliating memory for the Amhara and Tigray Monophysitic (Tewahedo) Pseudo-Christian Abyssinians that evolves around King Ahmed Ibn Ibrahim. Most probably, never a Somali felt the degree of the abysmal complex of inferiority experienced by the Monophysitic (Tewahedo) Pseudo-Christian Abyssinians toward Somalia and the Somalis. And never a Somali imagined as humanly possible for anyone to feed for so many centuries such a venomous odium. This was an error.

The World is not a Paradise

Looking deep inside the Somali heart, all the Somalis must come to realize that they mistook the world as a pleasant place, as beautiful, as peaceful, as idyllic and as paradisiacal as Somalia was in the 60s. This was another error; the world is mostly a jungle of criminality and hypocrisy where Carter's America does not come to the help of a small African country threatened by Soviet Union.

What does it matter that the Soviet military experts and the disreputable Cuban soldiers did not enter Somalia's soil? Ogaden is Somali too. Why this happened?

Because the colonial borders mainly fixed by England and France have been most respected by America and Soviet Union, and currently respected by the rising powers of India, Japan, Brazil and China. Colonialism was promoted not destroyed with the transformation of the former colonies into "independent" countries.

The world is – to say the least – a jungle where the criminally acquired property of some English origin landlords in Zimbabwe is considered more important and more valuable than the people of Ogaden, Darfur, Oromia, Sidama Land and so many other tyrannized and dehumanized nations.

The world is a jungle of mendacity where exist even monsters like the Neo-Nazi thugs and criminal death squads of the world's top Cannibal, Meles Zenawi.

In such a world, a Somali cannot afford to talk, discuss or negotiate with representatives of the hereditary archenemy, the Neo-Nazi Monster 'Ethiopia' – a country deeply reviled by 82% of its population, who all passionately desire their tyrannical country's most irrevocable and unequivocal destruction.

Among Somalis Trust must be Built on Desire for Common Survival

But a Somali is a Somali; and when a Somali wants to speak with a Somali, a discussion must take place. A Somali who spoke in the past with the Neo-Nazi Abyssinians is still a Somali, as such is still detested by them, because they envy every Somali for the civilized manners, and the mental and intellectual superiority (so brutally barbaric the Abyssinian Monophysitic elites are - and they know that they are).

Trust must therefore be built; discussions with the TFG must be engaged; and a plan for a Road Map to National Somali Elections for Constituent Assembly must be set up.

If some Somalis focus on the past of the TFG institution, they focus wrong. What matters is the future of all. The TFG Somalis are still Somalis; if they collaborated with Abyssinians, they did it because they worried about their own survival.

Give them a guarantee that they will survive, they will play some role, they will not be persecuted, and they will work with Alliance for the Re-liberation of Somalia.

There is no doubt that all wings of the Alliance for the Re-liberation of Somalia together represent more than 3 out of 4 Somalis between Djibouti and Kenya.

Now, all wings of the Alliance for the Re-liberation of Somalia (those who are in favour and those who against the Djibouti talks) must put themselves in front of the following question:

- Which of the two is better?

A. Share political power with all the other Somalis in various governmental formations of National Emergency and Rehabilitation, following the forthcoming elections (for which there is strong UN SC support – and in view of which a negotiation must take place with TFG) or

B. Fight ceaselessly, further destroy the last Somali infrastructure, and help evil circles around Jendayi Frazer disqualify the Somali Nation as bandits, portray Zenawi as a useful leader against Islamic terrorism, and bribe more Somalis to further divide and divide and divide tribes, clans, and sub-clans?

An answer to this question should be considered as Certificate of Somaliness.
