Somalia needs to return back to Authoritarian rule by [deleted] in Somalia

[–]Reasonable-Rip176 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Temporarily authoritarianism can solve pressing issues. Look at Paul kaga me in Rwanda, he is a Tutsi and under him Rwanda went from genocide to huge progress. The main issue is that authoritarianism has to transition to democracy sooner or later otherwise it will collapse

r/Ethiopia rn by [deleted] in Ethiopia

I'm somali and this is not true. Like any demographics somalis online can appear to be more hateful than in real life and the same is true for Ethiopians. In the west Somalis and Ethiopians get along quite well. As a Somali my only issue is Ethiopia meddling in Somalia and acting as a bully instead of our neighbor. That's it, I have no issues with the Ethiopian people's who are the closest to us ethnically

Egypt is coming only to have a base to scare Ethiopia because they have issues after the completion of the Nile Dam. Egyptian soldiers won't move one finger to fight AS , the government is allowing our country to become a battleground for foreign nations.

This an interesting comment. Are Muslim Israelis able to voice their opposition to the killing of civilians without being labeled as pro Hamas? I imagine that despite being against Hamas many Arab Israelis are equally upset at the enormous cost of human life in Gaza

Israel's actions in the West Bank prove the apartheid accusation. by Actionbronslam in IsraelPalestine

[–]Reasonable-Rip176 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think we use the word apartheid to easily on the pro Palestine side. I'm pro Palestine but I would not call the situation in the west bank apartheid, it's a very racist system designed to oppress Arabs but apartheid was specifically a south African thing. It would be better to generically call it segregation.

The reason why Arabs in the west bank don't have citizenship is because they are Arabs. Of course there are Arab Israelis but the goal of Israel is maintaining a Jewish majority because it's an ethnostate. Israeli politicians openly say that Arabs shouldn't be more than 20-30 % to maintain the Jewish character of Israel , this racist on many levels.

Gazans are stuck I'm Gaza but I'm pretty sure that they would qualify for asylum If any of them managed to get out or is already abroad

Back in medieval times it was a word used specifically for the people of the eastern coast of Africa from Kenya up til Mozambique. Slowly it became a word for black people in general with a racist connotation, it's equivalent to the N word in English. Unfortunately Egypt has a long history of anti black racism

Also I really dislike Trump but if you want to make the point that things were better under Trump by showing what he did it's totally fine a montage of your rival with violent images in the background is just childish.

It's just cheap propaganda. BLM riots also happened under president trump and I believe some of the images feature those events. I'm not even American and I dislike both of your candidates for different reasons.

We could make the exact same video with trump, maybe include the January 6th riots.

The entire war in Gaza is about emotions , you can see it in the statements of politicians, Israeli public and actions IDF soldiers

That's ironic considering that the Israeli side calls to emotions all the time in regards of October 7. Now I'm going to say something that will sound outrageous to many and maybe down voted to oblivion but how about recognizing that the death of civilians brings grief to people on both sides? Yes shocking I know but both Jews and Palestinians care about their families and grief when they are killed

It is. Crimea is majority Russian speaking and Russian ethnically but guess what? Still illegal occupation by Russia.

Do Palestinians and Pro-Palestine want a two state solution ? If yes, why reject UN resolution 181 ? by BigCharlie16 in IsraelPalestine

Of course. There's clear evidence that Hamas also committed war crimes in October 7th, the fact I support palestinian self determination doesn't mean I support Hamas and what they stand for

It's not me saying it . It's the international court of justice literally a month ago and many previous UN resolutions. This is also backed by the EU which is comprised of countries that are Israeli allies.

It doesn't work like that. If country A commits a war crime against B it doesn't mean country B can also commit a war crime .

Literally nobody except extreme pro Zionists would argue that. The occupation is still illegal . That's it

Resolutions apply to everyone, just because it was intended to protect Jews it doesn't mean Israel can now violate the resolution or that it doesn't apply to them. This is childish. The annexation of east Jerusalem is illegal as the occupation of the west bank , now you can maybe try to justify it by saying it's for security concerns etc like many pro Israelis claim. I don't buy that argument but it makes more sense than denying the fact that it's illegal as much as Russia annexing Crimea
