Prospect of war with Somalia raises fears, questions in Ethiopia. (ADDIS ABABA) — Ethiopia is among the world’s poorest countries, suffering from political tension and natural disaster, and the memories of a devastating war remain fresh. Many here recoil at the thought of another war. But Ethiopia’s leaders are increasingly arguing this nation, with its population divided among Christians and Muslims, is being forced to fight by militant Muslim Somalis who have declared jihad. Friday, as fighting raised in neighboring Somalia between government forces backed by Ethiopia and Islamic militiamen, Ethiopia issued a statement accusing Somalia’s Islamic movement of "massive infiltration" into Ethiopia. "The situation in Somalia has turned from bad to worse," the statement said. "Ethiopia has been patient so far but their is a limit to this." In Ethiopia, much of the suspicion about the possibility of war springs from skepticism about Prime Minister Meles Zenawi. "Meles wants this war," said Abiye Fikre, a shopkeeper in the capital. "The problems are his own creation." Adds butcher Abebe Belayaneh: "If Meles has his way, we’ll make war all over the Horn." There are questions the war rhetoric is meant to get the West to overlook Meles’s poor human rights. U.S. troops attached to an anti-terror operation based in nearby Djibouti are working throughout the region, including in Ethiopia, and sightings of them here fuel rumors. The United States has accused Somalia’s Islamic movement of harboring al-Qaida suspects. Somali and Ethiopian officials allege senior positions within the Islamic forces are held by men wanted in connection with the 1998 U.S. Embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania, attacks blamed on al-Qaida. The top U.S. diplomat for Africa, Jendayi Frazer, has called on Somalia’s Islamic leaders to turn over the suspects, but has also called on Ethiopia to practice restraint. The Ethiopian government has said it has deployed only several hundred military trainers, not a fighting force, to support Somalia’ transitional government against the Islamic movement. But the U.N. says as many as 8,000 Ethiopian troops may be in Somalia supporting its government. The U.N. also says Eritrea, Ethiopia’s longtime rival, has deployed 2,000 troops in support of an Islamic group that controls Somalia’s capital and much of its south. Eritrea denies it has interfered, but many fear Ethiopia will fight a proxy war in Somalia. Eritrea gained independence from Ethiopia in 1993 after a 30-year guerrilla war, but their border was never settled. Their 2 1/2-year war that ended in December 2000 was disastrous for both impoverished countries. Beyene Petros, leader of the opposition United Ethiopian Democratic Forces, said his party was anti-war. "We have advised the prime minister against any confrontation, short of any circumstances involving an invasion of our territory," he said. Some fear the war rhetoric could inflame religious tension here. While the Ethiopian Orthodox Church estimates that up to 60 million of 77 million Ethiopians are Christian, independent experts say the population is almost evenly divided between Christians and Muslims. Clashes between Muslims and Christians in the west in October left 19 dead, according to the prime minister. Somali Islamic leader Sheik Hassan Dahir Aweys has called Ethiopia a Christian nation in a Muslim region of the world. Bishop Eiustatwos Gebrekristos, one of the top leaders in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, accused Somalia’s Islamic movement of wanting "to convert the country to Islam." Ethiopians are suspicious all the talk of a foreign threat is meant to distract attention from problems at home. Meles led rebels who in 1991 toppled a brutal dictator, and was at first hailed as a reformer. In recent years, though, his democratic credentials have been questioned. Opposition parties allege rigging in May 2005 elections that gave Meles’s Ethiopian Peoples Revolutionary Democratic Front control of nearly two-thirds of parliament. U.S. and European election observers said the vote had been marred by irregularities. In October, Ethiopia acknowledged that security forces killed 193 civilians protesting election fraud after the vote. Since the vote, more than 100 opposition leaders, journalists and aid workers were charged with treason and attempted genocide in connection with the postelection violence. Meles also faces a small-scale rebellion by an ethnic-Somali insurgency in eastern Ethiopia. The problems aren’t just political. Most Ethiopians get by on less than US$1 (less than A1) a day. Last year, they suffered drought, only to be hit this year by devastating floods. Not all in Ethiopia are anti-war. Every afternoon in Little Mogadishu, the Ethiopian capital’s enclave of ethnic Somalis, dozens of men gather at the Teza Cafe and listen to the news from Somalia. The Somali Islamic movement is the problem, said Osman Nuer, an elderly Somali who came to Ethiopia fleeing devastating clan violence in his country in the 1990s. "Ethiopia has been good to us."

Ethiopian warplanes begin air strikes on Somalia Somaliweyn Media Center (SMC) Ethiopian warplanes have for the first time started air strikes on Somali civilians in Hiran region of central Somalia, leaving many ordinary people dead, while ferocious war carries on central and southern Somalia regions. Reports from Hiran says the Ethiopian helicopters bombed Kalabeyr village some 25km from Beledweyn, the provincial capital of Hiran, as heavy fighting between the Islamic courts forces and the Ethiopian occupiers still keeping on the border. “Four warplanes of Ethiopian army are bombing here, they are using excessive power by eliminating civilians” Abdi Ahmed, a local resident told SMC by phone. Abdi said also the Ethiopian helicopters with guns firing the city, killing many people and left many others injured. He also pointed out that the Ethiopian warplanes also destructed many apartments in the city and cut roads to stop military aid towards the Islamists forces, warring on the border. On the border between Hiran and Ethiopian skirmishing between the Islamic forces and the Ethiopian troops still continuing, as many Somali life devotees are on their way to the border to take part the battle. Amin Da’ad, the local commander of the Islamic courts forces told they repelled attacks from the enemy, hoping that the upper hand will be with them. Sources said the Ethiopian troops took Jawil village and other villages in Hiran. But the Islamic courts officials are yet to confirm this report. Local residents say if the Ethiopian air strikes continue, they will take Beledweyn, the provincial capital, because of lack of power to put down their warplanes. The battle also is continuing in Banidiradley of Mudug region in central Somalia and Deynunay, near the seat of the western backed Somalia government. The international community goes on with ignoring the Ethiopian aggressive war on Somalia, saying only that the government and the Islamists must stop the war, while the fighting is between the Ethiopian occupiers and the Islamic courts.

Many in Ethiopia See Premier's Talk of War As Ploy to Tighten Grip By Stephanie McCrummen Washington Post Foreign Service Wednesday, December 20, 2006; A18 ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia -- War or no war with Somalia, Mulunesh Abebayhu wants out. Out of her teaching job, where Ethiopian security forces constantly harass her because of her political views. Out of this city, where hundreds of protesters were killed by police bullets after disputed elections last year. And, if she can manage, out of this country that she believes has plunged into the abyss of dictatorship at the hands of its prime minister, Meles Zenawi, a staunch ally of the United States in the vulnerable Horn of Africa. "He confuses the Westerners so that he can keep ruling," said Abebayhu, 54, an opposition member arrested along with an estimated 30,000 others in the sweeping post-election crackdown last year. "Our party does not believe in this war. Our priority is to eradicate poverty, not go to war. Meles knows this war is a way for his system to survive." As Ethiopia and Somalia's Islamic Courts movement inch closer each day to all-out conflict, a widespread view among people here in the capital is that Meles is using the conflict to distract people from a vast array of internal problems and to justify further repression of opposition groups, including ethnic Somalis in Ethiopia. In particular, opponents of war say he is playing up the claim that there are al-Qaeda operatives within the Islamic Courts in order to maintain the support of the U.S. government, which relies on a steady flow of Ethiopian intelligence that some regional analysts say is of dubious value. A recent attempt by Congress to sanction the Ethiopian government for widespread human rights violations failed after former Republican House leader Richard K. Armey (R-Tex.), lobbying on behalf of the Ethiopian government, argued that the United States needs Ethiopia in order to fight terrorism. "We don't know why the Americans let them get away with it," said Abebayhu, who was denied her request for a U.S. visa and who said she receives death threats regularly. Meanwhile, Meles has become so disliked in the city that people compare him unfavorably to the former dictator known as "the Butcher of Addis Ababa," Mengistu Haile Mariam, who was convicted last week of genocide after a trial lasting 12 years. Around Victory Square, one of many roundabouts in this city of a thousand cafes and tin-patch markets, passersby offered opinions similar to that of Nemera Bersisa, 35, a record-keeper on his way home from work. "I believe the Dergue regime is better than this one, even if they killed people," he said, referring to Mengistu's rule. "This regime is democratic only in words. They kill people without any law, and they arrest people without a reason. This government is trying to stay in power by using different mechanisms, like claiming the Somalis are invading. But this is not the case. Meles is trying to externalize his problems." And those problems are vast. After 12 years in power, Meles presides over a nation that still does not produce enough food to feed its own people, relying on the U.N. World Food Program to supplement struggling farmers. The number of people infected with HIV is rising every year: At least 500,000 Ethiopians are living with the virus now, according to government figures. At least half of the population lives on less than $1 a day, which is not enough to buy a single meal. A smattering of new skyscrapers have gone up in Addis Ababa lately, and in recent years, the gaudy Sheraton Hotel was built, a fortified palace of marble and brass and $100 Scotch set amid a rusting neighborhood of leaning, one-room shacks. Locals call it Paradise in Hell. Last year's elections began with high hopes and degenerated into a bloodbath. Opposition groups, who made significant gains but did not win a majority according to the national election board, accused the government of rigging the tally and flooded the streets to challenge the results. During the rallies in May and November last year, unarmed protesters were sprayed with bullets while others were hunted down, killed inside their homes and in their gardens, in front of children and neighbors. Though the official government report released in October listed 197 demonstrators killed, some members of the government's own commission and human rights groups have estimated that the number could be as high as 600. Seven police officers were killed. Since then, the mood around the capital has been grim. "After the elections, the government is ruling Ethiopia by military force and propaganda, we all know that," Bersisa said. "We're dead after the election." While most of the 30,000 prisoners taken after the election have been released, several hundred opposition leaders remain in jail, including the elected mayor of Addis Ababa, Birhanu Nega, who was a professor in the United States, and Haile Miriam Yacob, who served on the U.N. commission settling a border dispute between Ethiopia and Eritrea. Four private newspapers have been shut down. A reporter for the Associated Press was expelled. And random arrests on the streets of Addis Ababa continue daily, people say. Residents of a largely Ethiopian Somali neighborhood called Rwanda say that government security forces have been rounding up people who refuse to swear allegiance to Meles' ruling party, a charge the government denied. "Their main target is Ethiopian Somalis," said Reagan Dawale, 30, who left his home in the Somali region of Ethiopia because of the tense atmosphere there, only to find a similar situation in the capital. In a recent interview, Meles, a former Marxist guerrilla who shed his fatigues for tailored suits when he took power in a 1991 coup, referred to the opposition as leading an "insurrection" intent on overthrowing the government by violent means, a charge opposition leaders deny. Meles has introduced a few words into the Ethiopian vocabulary. Someone who is out of line is a "fendata." Dissatisfied, unemployed workers who must be controlled are the "adegnabozene." A "bichameberat" is a person who has crossed into the danger zone. Meles said he retains U.S. support when it comes to defending Ethiopia against the Islamic Courts movement, which now controls much of Somalia, including Mogadishu, the capital. Meles said the Islamic Courts have already attacked Ethiopia by arming secessionist Ethiopian Somali groups in the ****** region along the Somali border, a claim opposition leaders believe is both exaggerated and hardly a justification for war. "Our argument is that all the governments we've known since 1960 say they want the ******," said Beyene Petros, leader of the main opposition group, the Coalition for Unity and Democracy, referring to Somalia. The Islamic Courts say it is the Ethiopians that have invaded Somalia. While Meles has repeatedly denied having troops there, the United Nations and regional diplomats estimate that at least 8,000 Ethiopian soldiers are in Somalia, backing the weak and divided transitional government. Petros said Meles is poised to make precisely the same miscalculation in the Horn of Africa that critics say the United States made in invading Iraq: that a vastly superior military force can crush an ideologically driven guerrilla campaign. "We should defend our borders, but I don't believe in a hot-pursuit campaign inside of Somalia," Petros said. "And I don't think this war is going to change the hearts of the Ethiopian people."

Many in Ethiopia See Premier's Talk of War As Ploy to Tighten Grip By Stephanie McCrummen Washington Post Foreign Service Wednesday, December 20, 2006; A18 ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia -- War or no war with Somalia, Mulunesh Abebayhu wants out. Out of her teaching job, where Ethiopian security forces constantly harass her because of her political views. Out of this city, where hundreds of protesters were killed by police bullets after disputed elections last year. And, if she can manage, out of this country that she believes has plunged into the abyss of dictatorship at the hands of its prime minister, Meles Zenawi, a staunch ally of the United States in the vulnerable Horn of Africa. "He confuses the Westerners so that he can keep ruling," said Abebayhu, 54, an opposition member arrested along with an estimated 30,000 others in the sweeping post-election crackdown last year. "Our party does not believe in this war. Our priority is to eradicate poverty, not go to war. Meles knows this war is a way for his system to survive." As Ethiopia and Somalia's Islamic Courts movement inch closer each day to all-out conflict, a widespread view among people here in the capital is that Meles is using the conflict to distract people from a vast array of internal problems and to justify further repression of opposition groups, including ethnic Somalis in Ethiopia. In particular, opponents of war say he is playing up the claim that there are al-Qaeda operatives within the Islamic Courts in order to maintain the support of the U.S. government, which relies on a steady flow of Ethiopian intelligence that some regional analysts say is of dubious value. A recent attempt by Congress to sanction the Ethiopian government for widespread human rights violations failed after former Republican House leader Richard K. Armey (R-Tex.), lobbying on behalf of the Ethiopian government, argued that the United States needs Ethiopia in order to fight terrorism. "We don't know why the Americans let them get away with it," said Abebayhu, who was denied her request for a U.S. visa and who said she receives death threats regularly. Meanwhile, Meles has become so disliked in the city that people compare him unfavorably to the former dictator known as "the Butcher of Addis Ababa," Mengistu Haile Mariam, who was convicted last week of genocide after a trial lasting 12 years. Around Victory Square, one of many roundabouts in this city of a thousand cafes and tin-patch markets, passersby offered opinions similar to that of Nemera Bersisa, 35, a record-keeper on his way home from work. "I believe the Dergue regime is better than this one, even if they killed people," he said, referring to Mengistu's rule. "This regime is democratic only in words. They kill people without any law, and they arrest people without a reason. This government is trying to stay in power by using different mechanisms, like claiming the Somalis are invading. But this is not the case. Meles is trying to externalize his problems." And those problems are vast. After 12 years in power, Meles presides over a nation that still does not produce enough food to feed its own people, relying on the U.N. World Food Program to supplement struggling farmers. The number of people infected with HIV is rising every year: At least 500,000 Ethiopians are living with the virus now, according to government figures. At least half of the population lives on less than $1 a day, which is not enough to buy a single meal. A smattering of new skyscrapers have gone up in Addis Ababa lately, and in recent years, the gaudy Sheraton Hotel was built, a fortified palace of marble and brass and $100 Scotch set amid a rusting neighborhood of leaning, one-room shacks. Locals call it Paradise in Hell. Last year's elections began with high hopes and degenerated into a bloodbath. Opposition groups, who made significant gains but did not win a majority according to the national election board, accused the government of rigging the tally and flooded the streets to challenge the results. During the rallies in May and November last year, unarmed protesters were sprayed with bullets while others were hunted down, killed inside their homes and in their gardens, in front of children and neighbors. Though the official government report released in October listed 197 demonstrators killed, some members of the government's own commission and human rights groups have estimated that the number could be as high as 600. Seven police officers were killed. Since then, the mood around the capital has been grim. "After the elections, the government is ruling Ethiopia by military force and propaganda, we all know that," Bersisa said. "We're dead after the election." While most of the 30,000 prisoners taken after the election have been released, several hundred opposition leaders remain in jail, including the elected mayor of Addis Ababa, Birhanu Nega, who was a professor in the United States, and Haile Miriam Yacob, who served on the U.N. commission settling a border dispute between Ethiopia and Eritrea. Four private newspapers have been shut down. A reporter for the Associated Press was expelled. And random arrests on the streets of Addis Ababa continue daily, people say. Residents of a largely Ethiopian Somali neighborhood called Rwanda say that government security forces have been rounding up people who refuse to swear allegiance to Meles' ruling party, a charge the government denied. "Their main target is Ethiopian Somalis," said Reagan Dawale, 30, who left his home in the Somali region of Ethiopia because of the tense atmosphere there, only to find a similar situation in the capital. In a recent interview, Meles, a former Marxist guerrilla who shed his fatigues for tailored suits when he took power in a 1991 coup, referred to the opposition as leading an "insurrection" intent on overthrowing the government by violent means, a charge opposition leaders deny. Meles has introduced a few words into the Ethiopian vocabulary. Someone who is out of line is a "fendata." Dissatisfied, unemployed workers who must be controlled are the "adegnabozene." A "bichameberat" is a person who has crossed into the danger zone. Meles said he retains U.S. support when it comes to defending Ethiopia against the Islamic Courts movement, which now controls much of Somalia, including Mogadishu, the capital. Meles said the Islamic Courts have already attacked Ethiopia by arming secessionist Ethiopian Somali groups in the ****** region along the Somali border, a claim opposition leaders believe is both exaggerated and hardly a justification for war. "Our argument is that all the governments we've known since 1960 say they want the ******," said Beyene Petros, leader of the main opposition group, the Coalition for Unity and Democracy, referring to Somalia. The Islamic Courts say it is the Ethiopians that have invaded Somalia. While Meles has repeatedly denied having troops there, the United Nations and regional diplomats estimate that at least 8,000 Ethiopian soldiers are in Somalia, backing the weak and divided transitional government. Petros said Meles is poised to make precisely the same miscalculation in the Horn of Africa that critics say the United States made in invading Iraq: that a vastly superior military force can crush an ideologically driven guerrilla campaign. "We should defend our borders, but I don't believe in a hot-pursuit campaign inside of Somalia," Petros said. "And I don't think this war is going to change the hearts of the Ethiopian people."

Wow.................

1) The Islamic courts eradicated the warlords and leaches that had dragged the country to a state of total anarchy 2) Security in the Provinces the ICU has improved dramatically. 3) Business is booming in regions under their control (totally refutes the Taliban argument) 4) Most importantly they rule by the law of Allah 5) They have agreed to go in dialogue with any Somali, whether it TFG, Somaliland, Puntland and those in the Diaspora 6) They declared that property should be distributed back to the right full owners under pre 19991 civil war 7) They have stated that they respect their neighbours and would nurture the goodwill. 8) They have invited all Somali intellectuals to take part in the reconstruction of their land 9)They are for an economically prosperous Somalia who can defend itself and is independent in influence. 10) They have united people under the banner of faith, gradually eradicating the deeply embedded tribal issue 11) They have banned the substances that made Somali men idle. 12) They have recognised the TFG and want power sharing as they are the real representatives of the people of the south. Waxay mudan yihiin in loo mahad celiyo for doing these and more for the Somalis, unlike the traitors in Baydhabo. Bal maanta ha sheegaan wax la taaban karo oo ay qabteeyn other than letting mele's troops in our country, and please they don't tell me they are the elected officials for the country, 'cause we know who elected them and who they are. I was listening to Geedi's nac nac on online, i was disgusted on what he was saying and how he was saying it too. None of what he said what something that is in the insterest of the somalis. Buullllshiiiddd.....waa disgusted traitors all of them runtii. Seefahiinna hala soo boodina 'cause it is all true..... Go figure:...........

Don't Fight Somalia. Princeton Lyman - Somalia edges closer to war each day. Ethiopia and the Council of Islamic Courts (CIC) have positioned troops just a few miles from each other inside Somalia. Ethiopia and the United States have meanwhile staked out increasingly belligerent positions toward the CIC. Ethiopia's Prime Minister has scoffed at moderation as only encouraging "terrorists." The U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Africa Jendayi Frazer has charged that the CIC is now controlled by Al Qaeda cell individuals. American intelligence personnel are seen increasingly in Addis Ababa, suggesting the U.S. will back an Ethiopian military action. A war in Somalia would easily spread throughout the Horn, with refugees streaming into Kenya and Djibouti. War could once again erupt between Ethiopia and Eritrea. http://blog.washingtonpost.com/postglobal/needtoknow/2006/12/dont_fight_somalia.html
