Somalis & Afars of Ethiopia: Strategic Allies or Enemies? Part 1

The ongoing conflict between the Afar and Somali people have devastated many lives and uprooted many individuals from their homes. Thousands of fine young men have been killed and injured from both sides over the last five years or so. Many more children have been orphaned, and women widowed.
In this zoom meeting we are attempting to answer the nature of the relationship between the Somali and Afar people, and to explore a means of finding an everlasting peace between the two neighborly people.

Baaraka Allahu Fiikum. You are doing your part. Ordering good and forbidding evil. Somali & Afar are brothers & sisters in Islam and blood. No reason to fight and waste much needed resources for destroying each other. That is losing both worldly and hereafter life. May Allah swt unite their hearts , Allah swt is the only who can unite them.

As a somali we use to think afar is one of us but they turned against us
And it looks ethiopian goverment using afar for their dirty job

[@Sultan_Mohammed994]

If one blames the Afar or the Somali people for this conflict, they have missed the point that we are trying to convey in this program.
In my humble opinion, both the Afar and Somali people are victims of this conflict. They are both suffering needlessly. They are both dying needlessly.
It is time for the two brotherly people to resolve their differences once and for all through intense dialogue.
