MPs: Somalia turned into Ethiopia's colony

Thu, 04 Sep 2008

Somali parliamentarians have accused Ethiopia of turning Somalia into an 'Ethiopian colony' while killing countless civilians.

Somalia has been robbed of its freedom thanks to the Ethiopian
'colonizers' who have the blood of thousands of Somali civilians on
their hands, said one Press TV correspondent quoting the contents of
the lawmakers' radio addresses which were broadcast across the capital,
Mogadishu.

One lawmaker, Abdi Abdullahi Jini Boqor said the Somali leaders
acted like 'Ethiopian slaves' who refused to say a word in the absence
of their masters' blessing.

In the meantime, the Ethiopian Prime Minister, Meles Zenawi
contacted the leaders of Somalia's most influential clan, the Hawiye,
to guarantee the troops' safe passage through Somali territory. The
leaders have not yet responded to the request, however.

Ethiopia has said the US and the West were to blame for the
killings as they failed to economically buttress the troops as well as
they had to.

Encouraged by the US, the troops launched an invasion of Somalia in
2006 to help the country's beleaguered transitional government.

Doing away with Somalia's runaway insurgency has been one of the troops stated aims which they have failed to realize.

The Somali insurgents have expressed their determination to force
the soldiers out of the country even at the cost of causing serious
collateral damage.
