Ethiopia Vs Somalia----the History Behind The Hate by somalia5: 2:37am On Oct 02, 2012 |
By Barry Malone NAIROBI (Reuters) - Five hundred years ago, an Imam who ruled much of what is now Somalia, led a daring invasion of Christian Ethiopia, looting monasteries, burning down churches and slaying all who resisted. Centuries on, memories of Imam Ahmad Gragn still haunt both countries, and echoes of that long and bloody history still ripple across the Horn of Africa region which considers Somalia the greatest threat to its stability. Back then, the Ethiopians were beleaguered as the invaders occupied some two-thirds of the country. Help eventually came in the form of 400 Portuguese musketeers, who sailed into Massawa port and embarked on a six-day march to the front. Gragn had his backers too. Reinforcements from Arabia soon rolled in alongside a gift from the Ottoman Empire: 900 of its famously hardened musket experts. The war lasted over a decade. Fast forward to the present day, and with Ethiopian troops deploying over the border again last month to fight Islamist rebels linked to al Qaeda, the latest chapter of a book with few uplifting passages was written. Though present-day incursions and clashes are driven by strategic motivations and regional politicking against the backdrop of the global war on terror, those centuries-old grudges, raids and musket-battles still shape events. "In Ethiopia, the damage which Gragn did has never been forgotten," Ethiopia expert, Paul Henze, wrote in a book on the country's history, Layers of Time. "Every Christian highlander still hears tales of Gragn in his childhood. I have often had villagers in northern Ethiopia point out sites of towns, forts, churches and monasteries destroyed by Gragn as if these catastrophes had occurred only yesterday." Though Gragn's ethnicity is disputed by historians, Ethiopians know his army was overwhelmingly manned by ethnic Somalis, and that stings. |

In the late 1970s, Ethiopia and Somalia fought over Ethiopia's barren Ogaden region. Why, who the f*ck knows or cares. In any case, both nations were Commie-ruled at that time, but the Soviet Bloc put their money on Ethiopia. This was probably one of the saddest wars in history. To really understand what a war between Ethiopia and Somalia was like, picture two homeless niggers engaging in a drunken fistfight over a two-day-old piece of fried chicken. In the end, the Somalis got pwned by the Ethiopians. Or rather, by the Ethiopians' Soviet and Cuban-supplied weapons. Funny how the Ethiopians and Somalis both had money for guns and tanks, but no money for food. Hmmmm. culled from chimpout.com |

Re: Ethiopia Vs Somalia----the History Behind The Hate by ezotik: 12:38am On Oct 09, 2012 |
somalia5: this one was funny. didn't u read what i culled from chimpout.com? hey, a dumbed down, diluted arab-caucasian wannabe like u should visit that site and mingle with the real caucasians so that u will learn what they consider u. but here is a hint... niggers. |
Re: Ethiopia Vs Somalia----the History Behind The Hate by somalia5: 1:14am On Oct 09, 2012 |
do u thing i care. My people refer to non horn africans in africa as black we refer to the horn africa as cushitics which are an intermediarry between whites and blacks. You must kno that niggggers is what whites called u when they owned u. again this has no point of refrence for me. But as a slave i can see u call urself whatever ur white masters called u. and thus i kno why niggggger has some meanin to u since ur part of the world was the slave force for whites |
Re: Ethiopia Vs Somalia----the History Behind The Hate by ezotik: 1:29am On Oct 09, 2012 |
somalia5: do u thing i care. My people refer to non horn africans in africa as black and thats the same reason abeed has meaning to u, because u were the slaves of the arabs who overran ur country. years later u became slaves of the europeans who overran both u and the arabs who overran u, thats why nigger also has meaning to u. f*ck, even the ethiopians overran u. damn, ur pucci must be so sour by now because u have been overran by so many people who gave u cute pet names, u hopeless wh0re. the arabs call u abeed the europeans call u niggers what do the ethiopians call u? btw, i call u ovien ...fyi |

Re: Ethiopia Vs Somalia----the History Behind The Hate by somalia5: 2:01am On Oct 09, 2012 |
u should learn history. u must be one of those afri centrics whose obsessed with somalis and discovered that we hate u negroids. If u knew history u would kno that 95 percent of somalia is somali. we have one religion, one language, one culture. u would also kno we are the only african country named after an ethnicity. we along with ethiopia are the only country in africa to have our native language as the national language. u should also know that their are less than 30,000 arabs in somalia. and that no one overan our country, its the opposite no one has ever defeated us on battle. we kicked ethiopia, usa, u.n out of our country. we were also the first to use canoons in africa, also we controlled half of ethiopia, and still our people live in half the land that is ethiopia. we are also homogenous and older than any other ethnic group. everythiny u said is true about u negroids, self projection at its height |
