No doubt the majority of Somalians are pro-Ethiopia and are big fans of Abiy Ahmed. I think I speak for all Somalians when i say, that they would like to see Somalia and Ethiopia unify as one country in the near future
I think they like the Strong Man mentality in Somalia. Whether Italians, Siad Barre, AMISOM, Farmaajo or an Ethiopian ruler. Ethiopia likes to rule over people and dominate them and it looks like Somalians like to be ruled over with an Iron fist.
In the past, unfortunately, our neighbors took advantage of our instability and profited from it. Somalia today is getting stronger and wiser as each day passes. We should take a different approach and leave the cold war era tactics in the past. We should always be pro peace, nation building and never meddle directly in their affairs. Africa must turn the page and find modern solutions to our never endings conflicts.

Sounds like Stockholm Syndrome to me

For the time being our interests align. It's really nothing more than that.
I do not think it is even possible for the two countries to be long-term allies as they will inevitably vie to be regional hegemon.

No Somali person is pro Ethiopian
The government of Somalia and every other Somali state are fairly pro Ethiopia as you never hear them getting on their bad side. This probably due to Ethiopia having great influence in the government and having networks over the region ever since the civil war began. But the average Somali is probably anti-Ethiopia.
Speak for yourself. We had a rule of law in some parts of what's Somalia today. Like Warsangeli Sultanate and Majeerteenia dating back to 1640.
I meant to be ruled by foreign powers, not that it was completely lawless. Obviously we had xeer.
Ah yes, the good ol' tplf excuse. Supposedly our qualms with Ethiopia began with a Tigray military junta which surfaced in the 90s...? Make no mistake, the tplf massacred somalis in Ogaden and Xamar. They're scum who's eradication brings me joy.
That being said, let's take a quick glance at Ethiopian history. Was Menelik, the man who originally stole the galbeed region from us, along with Harar and other areas, apart of the TPLF? Was Haile Selassie, the man whom we fought in 1964 to protect our borders, where Xalane(AUN) died defending the border, tplf? What about the communist derg led by Mengistu, the man we fought in 1977, was he tplf?
A weird section of somalis have propped up. While Farmaajo signs shady tripartite deals, and reports of 4 ports gaining Ethiopian involvement, along with their wish to build a navy, tell me how exactly our 'interests' align? Please, I'm genuinely curious. They have non amisom soldiers committing atrocities in Hiraan and Konfuur Galbeed. We're in a far weaker position to boot. So how do our interests align?
Anyone supporting farmaajo on this shady ethiopian support is potentially dishonest, or extremely naive. Abiy's base is also filled with Amhara supremacists. And the man i on record of wanting some type of unification with Somalia. But please continue on the 'muh tplf ebil11!'. Just know you won't have a country anymore. Cheers
