They invited Ethiopia to kill innocent civilians in South Somalia in 2006 to settle scores with Hawiye. They invited AMISOM troops as an occupying force, starting with Ethiopia to subjugate South Somalia. In 2006 Ethiopian and Puntland troops were on one side.

Ethiopian troops committed war crimes in South Somalia [at the behest of Abdulahi Yusuf government]
Amnesty International on Tuesday accused Ethiopian troops [with the blessing of the Somali government] in South Somalia of killing civilians and committing atrocities, including slitting people's throats, gouging out eyes and gang-raping women.
In a new report, the human rights group, which is based in London, detailed chilling witness accounts of indiscriminate killings in Somalia and called on the international community to stop the bloodshed. The Ethiopian government said the report was unbalanced and "categorically wrong."
Amnesty said about 6,000 civilians had been reported killed and more than 600,000 had been forced to flee their homes in the Somali capital, Mogadishu, last year.
"The people of South Somalia are being killed, raped, tortured. Looting is widespread and entire neighborhoods are being destroyed," Michelle Kagari, the Amnesty deputy director for Africa, said in a statement from Nairobi that accompanied the report.
