Why we need " Change" in East Africa....

I would like to talk with all due respect about my brothers of Punt land and Somali land taking responsibility simply the political one about their places or regions.In few words this Lands' regions is a creation of Ethiopia to counter the so-called Greater Somalia.The Somalis from the establishment of the Somali state had an Agenda of Uniting the Somali speaking population of the Horn under one Big state typical nationalism copied from the European model of a nation- state being from the same ancestry , language and culture.All this in contravention of the Colonial borders made for every African state.In the late 60 ' the government of Egal tried to reverse that policy. We all agreed with the government of the regions in the Arusha Accord in 1968 in which the Somalis recognized the colonial borders and accepted a framework to link with the east African Community economically.In other words Somalis were choosing peace and development for their people. The Government of Siad Barre re- negated with the Accord and accused the previous government to be" traitor' of the Somali national interests .Somalia joined the so-called Socialist camp and in 77 waged an irredentist war.with Ethiopia.The aftermath of that war is with us till now and that is the main reason the Ethiopian government has adopted a policy to divide. and Rule the Somalis in the Somali Republic in mini-clan enclaves called Puntland,Somaliland,Jubbaland and so on so forth. The warlords who ruled the so-called South of Somalia from 1991 were a by- product of the wrong policies of Menghistu and Meles later. But unfortunately for the Ethiopians and more dangerously for Somalis the Wahhabi( the Salafist of today) movement started to operate in Somalia from late 70" and infiltrated the so-called opposition movements to Siad Barre even those based in Ethiopia from 1978.This two groups mainly the Wahhabist and the Ethiopians using our clan culture to divide us are responsible of the destruction and "break up" of the Somali state and consequent sub-division and Chaos .I tried to make short a very long historical period of Our national history and also I did not mention the economical factors of our demise.In conclusion the Real Change we need is with our neighbors and how to solve the long enmity and the destructive mind-set that if you are not of my clan you are my enemy.And to go back to our real religious roots which are the Sufi- Islam.The best is yet to came.All the best.
