Ethiopia, a land-locked state, has long harboured ambitions to annex Somalia in part of its quest for a Greater Ethiopia. But in the minds of many Somalis, Ethiopia has a hidden agenda and is using this as a cover.

In most of Somalia, it is safer to publicly criticise your own leaders than to oppose Ethiopia’s policy towards Somalia. Regardless of what happens in Ethiopia, Somalis have to take control of their own destiny.
