Of course it was a mistake. When 50,000 Ethiopians troops couldn’t beat 7,000 Somali Mujahadiins, it took the US Special Forces who were accompanying the Ethiopians and the US Air assault to change the balance of the battle to Ethiopians’ favor. But Secretary Yamamoto is not admitting that US is still embroiled in Somalia by supporting corrupt politicians and AMISOM forces who are daily shelling the defenseless civil population in Mogadishu whenever these forces come under attack from the opposition. So, it is not fair to lay all the blame on the Ethiopians only. There were many countries who were involved in that invasion. I think the Secretary is playing into concern of Somalis with respect to 2006 invasion while turning a blind eye on the war that is still continuing which the west is still funding.
Good Point Helen. Eritrea will pay it. Even now Again and Again will try another flop methods. It’s the Somali ppl pay the high prices. But they will as always have excuses to blame Eritrea SCAPEGOT. Americans have the UGLIEST history in the entire humanity(Way beyond Hitler) Japan (Hiroshima, Nagasaki), Vietnam, Ygoslavia, Cuba, Iraq and Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia you name it. But thay manupulate the reality through their powerfull massmedia, Hollywood, Western allays and Popets to cover up and manupulate the History. If USA keep their hands away from other countries and UN unpartial Organasiation, the world would be the best place to live in.
Eritrea is not friend of somalia and Ethiopia. Eritrean government need to butt out od Somalia they are abusing their own people
Eritrea, all along, has said that the Ethiopian involvement, would result in a quagmire. Now, instead of acknowledging the ‘mistake, some of the perpetrators and thier unabashed supporters are engaged in the same old tired excuse of blaming and peanlizing the only party that had the integrity to tell it like it is. By doing so they are only exposing their contempt towards the intelligence of those familiar with the real story. Eritrea is a principled peace maker in the region that fell victim to the ulterior motives of those behind the chaos in Somalia.
