| An inexcusable and unjustifiable failure |

Eritrea had from early on cautioned the world in general and the US in particular that the Somali problem should be solved by the Somalis themselves and that external military intervention in that country would only prolong and worsen instability and destruction. But this cautioning had fell on deaf ears and the invasion of Somalia was carried out. Now, nine months after the invasion, Somalia is in a state of grave turmoil and unrest never seen before.
In their entire history, even during the period following the fall of the Siad Barre regime, the Somali people have never experienced such chaos that ensued in the aftermath of the TPLF invasion. The US Administration, represented by the TPLF regime had conceitedly enforced their choice of a puppet government on a people who had made their choice unmistakably clear. This blatant use of force had caused the death of thousands of innocent civilians, the displacement of hundreds of thousands more and brought on further conflict and tension. At a time when the state of affairs in Somalia is escalating from terrible to worse, US Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, Jendayi Frazer had in a recent briefing attempted to show that the US is blameless in the Somali issue. It is a recent memory that in the days just before the TPLF invasion of Somalia , Ms. Frazer had not only asserted that Ethiopia had the ‘right to defend itself' but also saw to it that both Ethiopia and Kenya got several millions of dollars of aid to be used in the invasion. The truth being so, it is startling to now hear Ms. Frazer saying that ‘the US had warned Ethiopia not to send its troops into Somalia , but Ethiopia had interfered there for its own security reasons'. Perhaps Ms. Frazer does want to recall the role the US war planes played in the invasion, a fact which everyone in the world is aware of. The unfounded allegation against Eritrea for the cause of their failure in Somalia is also another attempt to shy away from the responsibility of their actions. But this should not baffle anyone, because the volatile situation in Somalia is the direct outcome of their invasion. After 16 years of unrest, the people of Somalia began to experience peace and stability for few months, and it is only natural for them to oppose anything that threatened their new found hope and resolve to reinstate their country. The armed opposition in Mogadishu and other parts of Somalia against the invading troops of the TPLF's regime is just a natural response by a people whose initiative towards reconciliation and peace has been thwarted and nothing more. Invasion and repression always give rise to opposition, and thus the current instability in Somalia is a direct consequence of the United States' misguided policies. The continuous allegations against Eritrea through briefings and statements by officials from the US Department of State in relation with the Somali issue emanate from the embarrassing failure they sustained and are just simply futile attempts to shake off accountability. Yet, try as they might their failure cannot be justified by mere statements and briefings.                 |
