Why did the Security Council not consider the broad day light US-backed invasion and occupation of Somalia on 24 December 2006 a threat to “international peace and security” and take action against the perpetrators, the United States and Ethiopia?Why did the Security Council not take actions against Ethiopia and others who have violated the arms embargo on Somalia from day one and who are responsible for the international crimes that are being committed against the people of Somali to this day?

It struck me hard and, thus, motivated me to write this article when I recollected Jason Mac Lure’s interview with Meles Zenawi (Newsweek, April 21, 2008).The most interesting question, that prompted a rather debatable answer from Mr Zenawi was the following. Jason. Some say Ethiopian troops have helped the TFG by providing security assistance but hurt it in the long term by fomenting Somali nationalism and Islamism?Meles: An oversupply of national sentiment is not the problem in Somalia. The problem is a lack of it. The problem is an oversupply of sub-sub-clannish attitude. Our efforts, together with the TFG, have been focused on bridging the gaps [between these] clans. As far as Islamist fervour is concerned, Ethiopia was not in Somalia when the Shabaab took control. Ethiopia was not in Somalia when the Shabaab declared jihad on Ethiopia. What Ethiopia did is [burst] the bubble of this Shabaab phenomenon.
24 December 2009 will mark three years since the aggressive US-backed Ethiopia war of invasion and occupation of Somalia began. Despite what the media and some ill advised analysts say, the Ethiopian intervention in Somalia has not ended and Ethiopian troops have not left Somalia. The presence of Ethiopian, Burundi and Ugandan forces in Somalia have angered Somalis and fueled the tensions there. The Ethiopian invasion and occupation of Somalia has caused the greatest humanitarian disaster in the history of Somalia:
By imposing their unacceptable and unrepresentative puppet Sheikh Sharif on the Somalis, by provoking the heroic Somali resistance against the barbaric AMISOM soldiers, and by forcing the impotent clown Sheikh Sharif to defend his absolutely illegal position, the global community bears full responsibility for Genocide against the Somali Nation.
My writing draws into focus on the troops of the both AMISOM and its under (TFG), launch counter-insurgent operations against various Somali Islamist groups. AMISOM and TFG has been indiscriminately targeting innocent civilians and looting their property. The outright majority of the Somalis will never rejoice a foreign AMISOM occupying force: uninvited and unsolicited, unnecessary and undeserved – becomes the target of the Somali Muslim liberators and fighters for national independence, reunification and rehabilitation. The international community, which led by USA hegemony should take this event as a good lesson and avert – even at the very last moment – an escalation of the crisis that will end up in heavy collateral damages for all.
I remember the 29th of December, 2008. Almost a year ago to the day, the only woman political party leader in Ethiopia’s 3,000-year history was manhandled and abducted to prison. Professor Mesfin Woldemariam, founder and former chairman of the Ethiopian Human Rights Council, was an eyewitness to the crime. He told the Voice of America that he was having a conversation with Bitukan and another person outside an office building when four unmarked official vehicles stormed on the scene. Approximately 10 armed men got out and surrounded Birtukan. They grabbed and dragged her into one of the vehicles. One of the thugs savagely assaulted the nearly 80-year old professor with the butt of his rifle. In seconds, Birtukan was snatched away to the infamous Kality prison, and the professor to the hospital. 
With the rise of the CIA-supported Shabaab in the Somali South, the Horn of Africa has entered a new phase of deterioration. With the strained UN decision for sanctions against Eritrea, a further step was taken toward East Africa´s corrosion. With the forthcoming farcical elections in Abyssinia (fallaciously renamed as ´Ethiopia´) the next act in the East African Theater of the Absurd will be played to irreversibly entrap the tyrannized Kushitic nations in the plans on the non-African, racist, masters of the Amhara and Tigray administrators of the ominous, colonial state. Parallel developments in Sudan and Kenya are to be expected as the respective Pan-Arabist and Kikuyu regimes reflect the colonial powers´ top choice for disaster proliferation in Africa.What can the tyrannized Somalis of Ogaden expect then?
