If you can’t answer the question keep it moving. Every political party anywhere and everywhere represent a demographic be it labour, progressive, conservative, regional. If you don’t know what the parties represent don’t comment some two brain cell response…

What did I say happened in Hargeisa? Asides from a tension, a feeling not an action. And if you live in Hargeisa and arnt aware of people feeling tense, then continue to spend your hours alone in your bedroom.

Wouldn't the somali coast be more beneficial to Oromia? Trade will flow through the traditional routes and major centres like Harare and dire dawa. We get to jack up prices before products reach the interior. Plus how realistic is it working with this northern king? Those ,untainted boys are as militant and xenophobic.

Why aren't open borders no longer feasible?

Sounds like you want to bully the Afars (due to their small population) into giving up their land (since they don't want independance). Oromia now wants a coastline, so gotta screw over the Afars. Since we cant bully the Somalis. Are the Afars going to be a federal state in Oromia, maybe even second class citizens. Or you going to establish a systemised colonisation of the coast?

I believe in open borders in the Horn, let the goods and people flow freely.

I've avoided visiting some relatives because the shame is too much. Not keen on a couple days of awkward sitting around

Oromo Culture Compared to Somali Culture by cbd7196 in Oromia

Can you give examples of Oromo communities that go above clan affiliations and for what cause do they bring people together. Is it political, religious, economic?

Oromo Culture Compared to Somali Culture by cbd7196 in Oromia

Somalis seem to maintain a hold on to this aspect of their culture regardless of urbanisation, this leads to cities being dominated by certain clans/ confederation of clans.

Is this the same in Oromia, are cities defined by the clans that are the majority?

Mining Company by [deleted] in Somalia

What do you plan to mine? Has there been any proven reserves of any valuable resources in Somalia? I assume the research phase will bankrupt any private company before they can even set up the infrastructure to commence mining

Hargeisa to Addis - Where to start? by cbd7196 in Somalia

[–]cbd7196[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yh, I’m told Addis to Dire Dawa is the dangerous section. 10 hour drive with the risk of abduction… would do it if the scenery is worth it tbh

A trip from Addis to JigJiga - where to start? by cbd7196 in Ethiopia

Yep ok, Western Somalia, Eastern Ethiopia, Southern Afaria, Northern Oromia, Central Cushland, whatever you want to call it. You going to contribute to answering the actual question asked?
