Kenya must be wary of any Ethiopian endorsment.Why.?

The truth of the Story is the region does not back Kenya if we are talking about Igad and namely the Meles regime of Ethiopia . In public is a total support but privately Meles abhors any involvement by Kenya.The Ethiopians have controlled and directed the Somali politics from as early as the 80" through the " the so- called opposition movements" and later at Mgahabati,Nairobi in 2003-2004 they appointed a regime loyal to them while the Kenyans were watching in their home soil..Do you think the Ethiopians will relinquish so easily a regional hegemony? Do you think the Regime of Warlords and/parliamentarians all allied to the Ethiopians and al-Shabaab will give away power so easily? I do not think so.The Kenyans must work within the East African community/Amisom and start thinking about Nation- building and Institution building for Somalia and not only the Jubbaland or a buffer zone. Kenyans have the capacity and the resources to deploy if the use their historical closeness to Somalia and the vast business network from Somalia all based in Nairobi.More to that the civil/political muscle of Somali Diaspora also based in Nairobi.Another important issue is the war for" hearts and minds of the Somali people/citizens inside Somalia and the Kenyan local Somalis which have close business/community ties with the Somalis in Somalia.Last but not least is the "intricate web of clan/business and political "vested interests"which were all allied to Al-Shabaab which controls Somali economy and are mostly based in Kenya and Dubay. Wait and see.

The Somali Quagmire will go on unless...

The Somali Quagmire is going on from 1991 and after the failed intervention of the UN and the U.S of 1993-1994 the west have decided to leave the Somali issues to the Regional powers specially Ethiopia.This regional power first have not the capability of Nation-building of a new Somali state because their are part of the Problem.Secondly they have their own agenda to have Somalia divided in Clan- Enclaves regions,Warlords-drug barons running the Show and the Al-Shabaab controlling part of the Territory.Why? Simple.Mr.Meles needs a security treat to tell the Ethiopians and the world because if there is peace in Somalia will not Rule Ethiopia. Also he gets from Somalia the Finance to pay voters every time there is election in Ethiopia .But the worrisome thing is still the man controls the political process in Somalia and will never relinquish unless the Ethiopian people gets rid of him. The famine and the Drought can be solved when there is a viable,functional State in Somalia which is not" perpetual failed state" and Somalia is not a "a save haven for terror and Drug barons,organized crime" who all agree to have this Status Quo with the approval of Mr.Meles PM of Ethiopia. Wait and see.
