That is simply untrue. Prior to the 2006 Invasion, which was requested by Abdullahi Yusuf, Ethiopia had never invaded or attacked Somalia in any way. It was actually Somalia that launched an invasion of Ethiopia in 1977.

The '77-'78 war was not the only war between Somalia and Ethiopia. They bombarded many towns and villages along the border in 1964.

Cross-border skirmishes are commonplace. They aren't the same as full-scale invasions.

The point is they did attack Somalia.

I wouldn't expect you to understand the history between these two nations. From the numerous Ethiopian emperors ordering their soldiers to either kill or forcefully convert Somalis in Galbeed to Christianity to the present Ethiopian leaders interfering in Somali affairs, Ethiopians have never wished for a peaceful Somali peninsula.

I'm discussing modern-day Ethio-Somali relations. Please, don't bring up Emperors that preceded Haile Selassie, and just in case you attempt to besmirch the late emperor's name, he didn't order any Somali to be forcefully converted to Christianity.

And I gave you an example of Ethiopia attacking Somalia in 1964.
You can't just say forget the past. We have been fighting Ethiopians for 1000 years because of their expansionist mindset.

Haile Selassie was foul tyrant who killed 100s of thousands of innocent people. f*ck him and all his worshippers.

Ethiopia was against Somali independence, they were against Eritrean Independence, they were against Djibouti Independence too. They had a European colonial mindset and wanted to create an East African empire ruled by some midgets from Axum.

If there's one thing i can thank them for, they unite most of us genuine Somalis for our mutual dislike of their regimes.

Haile Selassie said this in 1941

“Eritrean people and people of Benadir, you were separated from your mother, Ethiopia and were put under the yoke of the enemy, and under the yoke of enemy you still remain. Our cruel enemies, the Italians, have taken your green and fertile land: they prevent you from ploughing it and from grazing your cattle on it. But now the day has come when you will be saved from all the ignominy and hardship. I have come to restore the independence of my country, including Eriterea and the Benadir, whose people will henceforth dwell under the shade of the Ethiopian flag. In this struggle we are neither alone nor without arms. We have the help of Great Britain, therefore I summon you to strive to deliver yourself from the alien slavery…”

Abihii wasaha calls the Italians oppressors but thinks the British are saviours.

Somalis are some of the biggest expansionists in African history. They are occupying thousands of hectares of Oromo land in southern Somalia.

Oromos themselves are expanisionists

 

[HalyeeyQaran]

Oromos themselves are expanisionists

Not true at all. Rather, they're the biggest victims of expansion by aggressors in Africa along with the Pygmies and the San.

 

[BebsiBolice]

Diri Dawa dosen't even belong to us anymore. It's so sad to see Oromo claim land that has never been theirs.

Are you seriously denying the Oromo expansion?

Somalis are expansionists!!!!!!!!!! Said the Bantu man who came from Cameroon, go and learn your history

 

[Canuck]

He is Bantu and hates us

Ogaden War was a huge defeat for Somalia. Siad Barre was defeated by Ethiopians, Cubans and Soviet Union.
