This is one of the times I unleash my anger against BBC and Ina Garaad. If a bird farts and Hargeisa municipal council considers it as an event, Ina Garaad reports it. But when more than 40 militia soldiers from the authority of these determined to dismember Somalia, repent and abandon the nonsense by crossing over to the Somaliweyne camp with military equipment, the Somali BBC service fails to mention this good news in its daily broadcasts.

^^^^ African intellectuals and opinion leaders are well aware of the fact that it will be a shame on the black continent if one of its oldest and purest races can not agree to live in one administration because an armed gang hijacked the political leadership of one region. The concept of nation-estate is meaningless if the Republic of Somalia’s geographical integrity is comprised because of baseless lies fabricated by godless people like Bashir Goths who can not come up with one good reason why Somalia has to be dismembered. Sakhradda iyo mirqaanku urge you to drink from mirage in a desert. Keep drinking from it until Abdillahi Yousuf your legitimate president rescues you from this illusory state. Born in Daami

Today: June 13, 2006 at 10:17:9 PDT European Suggests Easing Somalia Embargo By RODRIQUE NGOWI ASSOCIATED PRESS NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) - Diplomats stepped up efforts Tuesday to support Somalia's transitional government after the capital of Mogadishu was taken over by an Islamic militia, with a top European official suggesting easing an arms embargo and regional governments considering sanctions against warlords. Somalia's weak, U.N.-backed transitional government could only watch from the sidelines last week as a militia of the Islamic Courts Union, which the U.S. accuses of harboring al-Qaida terrorists, battled the warlords and seized Mogadishu. The militia now controls most of southern Somalia, while northeastern Somalia is run by an autonomous government allied to President Abdullahi Yusuf's administration and central Somalia is controlled by several groups. Louis Michel, the European Commissioner for Development and Humanitarian Affairs, speaking Tuesday on the sidelines of a regional meeting on Somalia, said easing the embargo to allow Somalia to develop a police force and army would be one way for the international community to respond if the government presented a plan for stabilization after more than a decade of lawlessness. "We have to back ... and to empower the federal transitional government" of Somalia, Michel told The Associated Press. Kenyan Foreign Affairs Minister Raphael Tuju told the AP the seven-nation Intergovernmental Authority on Development, or IGAD, was considering imposing a region-wide travel and banking ban and asset freeze on several Somali warlords. Somali Prime Minister Ali Mohamed Gedi's called for the sanctions, apparently fearing more bloodshed should the warlords revive the battle for Mogadishu. IGAD mediated talks two years ago that led to the formation of Somalia's transitional government. "I think the time is up," for the warlords and all the chaos in Somalia, said Tuju, whose country already has imposed a unilateral travel ban on four Somali warlords. Kenya's ambassador to Somalia, Mohamed Affey, said that eastern Africa countries supported the sanctions because they wanted Somali leaders to focus on rebuilding their country. Somalia, "belongs to them, they must find the moral courage to make it right. If they mess it up, they are unwelcome in the region," Affey said. Earlier, Michel said that he told Yusuf and Gedi that the international community could help if the government presented a plan to stabilize the Horn of Africa country. "I told them it was very important to have a stabilization plan," Michel said, adding that could lead to "some exemptions, targeted exemptions on the arms embargo in order to make it possible for the national army to develop itself and also to develop the police force." Earlier, Tuju told the IGAD meeting that the takeover of Mogadishu was a "popular uprising" and the warlords are people who had "terrorized" the Somali capital for 15 years. He said that IGAD will continue to support the Somali transitional government. "We should not allow a power vacuum to develop in Mogadishu," said Tuju, who chaired Tuesday's meeting. Without naming the United States, Tuju said that the country that had backed the warlords fueled the conflict in Mogadishu and was sabotaging, "the international community in its efforts to assist the people of Somalia to rebuild their country." Tuju said that IGAD supported the U.S.-led war on terror, but, "the war against terror will only succeed if we work with the governments of the various states and not through individuals or groups who are pursuing narrow self interests." Gedi told the IGAD meeting that his government was willing to negotiate with the Islamic Courts Union that now controls Mogadishu. Referring to the United States' backing of the warlords without naming the U.S., Gedi said, "The transitional federal government will not accept and will not support those who may seek to bypass the administration." Somalia has been without an effective central government since 1991, when largely clan-based warlords overthrew longtime dictator Mohamed Siad Barre, then turned on one another. Two years after the transitional government was formed in Kenya, it has been unable to establish its authority in Somalia. It is weakened by internal rivalries and includes many of the warlords blamed for tipping the country into chaos. The Islamic leaders portray themselves as a new force capable of restoring order. In another diplomatic effort, the State Department said it was forming a Somali Contact Group on Thursday in New York to address the Somalia situation. Yusuf's government has been unable to enter the capital because of security concerns. He has asked for regional troops to help his government take control of the country, but leaders of the Islamic Courts Union have rejected the idea of foreign troops in Somalia. -- Problems or questions?

US to Convene Contact Group on Somalia By David Gollust State Department 09 June 2006 Click for Interactive Map of Somalia The United States said Friday it will convene an international meeting next week in New York on the situation in Somalia. The State Department says the new Somalia "contact group" will be aimed at assisting the country's struggling transitional administration. The move to create the Somalia contact group comes amid worsening factional violence in the country in recent days and the capture of the capital Mogadishu by a hard-line Islamic militia group. State Department Spokesman Sean McCormack said U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Jendayi Frazer will chair the meeting of countries and organizations with interests and programs in Somalia. The east African country has been plagued by civil warfare and been without a functioning central government for more than a decade. McCormack said the aim will be to assist the transitional Somali government based in the southwestern town of Baidoa, which has been struggling for two years to consolidate its authority: "The goal of this group is to promote concerted action and coordination to support the Somalia transitional federal institutions," he said. "So we're going to be working with other interested states, international organizations on this matter, and talking about how we might coordinate our efforts in a concerted way to support the transitional federal institutions." McCormack said plans for the meeting were still being made but that it would involve the United Nations and a number of European and African governments as well as the United States. He would not link the convening of the meeting to the capture of Mogadishu and surrounding areas by the militia known as the Islamic Courts Union, saying only that U.S. officials "think it is the right time" for such a gathering. The Islamic Courts Union has accused the United States of materially supporting opposing armed factions, and U.S. officials expressed concern after its capture of the capital that Somalia might become a safe-haven for terrorists. However, the group sent the United States and other concerned governments an open letter a few days ago denying any intention to help terrorists and saying it did not want to be considered an enemy. Spokesman McCormack said Wednesday that as a matter of principle the United States would work with groups or individuals having an interest in a stable, secure Somalia and in fighting terrorism. However, he said Friday the United States has not yet replied to the letter and is reserving judgment on the group's overture. The United States has had no official presence in Mogadishu since 1994, when it ended a famine relief mission after a street battle between U.S. forces and a warlord faction in which 18 U.S. servicemen were killed. U.S. dealings with Somali factions have been handled through the American embassy in Nairobi. McCormack said he did not think Somali groups would be represented at the New York meeting, though preparations were still at an early stage.

Cabdiwaxaadi Cabdilaahi Khaliif, a Somali columnist is giving logical reasons as to why warlord Maxamed Dheere should not survive. What I would add to Mr. Khaliif’s demand is that the Somali people would not and must not accept anything less than Muuse Suud’s head on the plate or their upraising is in vain: waxba kama jiraan. I like the title of Mr. Khaliif’s article. Balcad: Jowhar oo Maxamed-dheere ku Maqan Hurdo ma Jirto

To eradicate the cancer completely a bounty should be offered for the capture of the warlords dead or alive. Seriously I am willing to offer my thousand U.S. Dollars. Americans gave the warlords two million dollars. Why should not 2000 Somalis in diaspora each contribute $1000 to come up with 2millions dollars as a bounty to capture these warlords? If we put our heads together we can change and better our sad situation. Rahima prepare to write a check for $1000.

US support for Somali warlords may violate UN arms embargo By Matthew Lee 1 hour, 3 minutes ago NAIROBI (AFP) - Covert United States support for an alliance of Somali warlords now fighting Islamic militias for control of Mogadishu may violate a 14-year-old United Nations arms embargo, diplomats said. As the two factions clashed for a fifth straight day on the streets of the capital, provoking international concern about rising violence, the diplomats said Washington's backing of the warlord alliance was legally questionable. The comments came a day after a panel of experts monitoring the 1992 arms embargo on Somalia told the UN Security Council it was investigating clandestine "financial support" to the alliance from an unnamed country. Washington has not publicly confirmed its support for the Alliance for the Restoration of Peace and Counter-Terrorism (ARPCT) but US officials and informed Somali sources have told AFP the group has received US money. The cash, amounting to several hundred thousand dollars, was delivered by former US military and intelligence officials on at least two occasions to Mogadishu warlords in January and February, sources in Somalia told AFP. The ARPCT was formed shortly after the second injection of US funds, in a bid to curb the growing influence of Mogadishu's 11 Islamic courts. Some believe the courts are protecting Muslim extremists, including Al-Qaeda operatives. Although US officials say Washington has not supplied the warlord alliance with weapons or military equipment, diplomats said the money could be a breach of the embargo. "Money is fungible (mutually interchangeable)," one Nairobi-based diplomat told AFP. "It may not be weapons coming in by ship or truck but if the cash is going to buy military equipment that would be a violation." "It's all about how the money is used and the intent of the donor," said a second. "Funding the alliance was always a risk for stability but it may have been illegal." The US program is controversial -- not least because of Washington's disastrous military intervention in Somalia in the early 1990s -- and Somalia's fledgling and largely powerless transition government has complained about it. The government, which argues the US support is fuelling divisions, has long sought the lifting of the arms embargo. But it wants it removed so it can build up its own security forces. The Security Council has several times rejected the government's request. The embargo was imposed shortly after Somalia descended into anarchy with the 1991 ousting of strongman Mohamed Siad Barre. But it has been widely ignored by many countries seeking to back competing warlords in the country. In its report to the Security Council, the UN monitoring group said "a widening circle of states are providing arms and military-related support to Somalia in violation of the arms embargo". The panel identified six nations -- Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Italy, Saudi Arabia and Yemen -- believed to have violated the embargo since December 2005 but made pointed reference to "clandestine" involvement by another country. "The Monitoring Group was informed that during January and February 2006, and at other times not specified ... financial support was being provided to help organize and structure a militia force created to counter the threat posed by the growing militant fundamentalist movement in central and southern Somalia," it said. "The Monitoring Group did not specify third-country involvement because at the time of the writing of the present report it had not completed its investigation," it said. Although the panel did not name the country, the timing of the support detailed in the report coincides with the deliveries of US funds mentioned to AFP by Somali sources. The US embassy in Nairobi, which US officials say is coordinating the covert support for the warlord alliance, declined to comment and referred questions to Washington. Last week, the US State Department acknowledged the United States was working with "responsible individuals" in Somalia to prevent "terror taking root in the Horn of Africa" but declined to specify who its partners were.

MOGADISHU (Reuters) - The death toll in Somalia's worst fighting for a decade rose to more than 120 on Thursday, as rival militias battled for control of the capital with mortars, rocket-propelled grenades and anti-aircraft guns. ADVERTISEMENT Hundreds of people were wounded as shells crashed into their homes, smashing walls and windows, in the overcrowded northern shanty town of SiiSii. Many more fled their houses to escape the fighting in the failed Horn of Africa state. Hospitals said at least 27 people were killed as gunmen, manning checkpoints and racing through the streets in pickup trucks mounted with heavy guns, fought on through the night, a practice elders say is forbidden by Somali custom. That brought the toll in five days of fighting to at least 121. Most of the dead are civilians and the latest fatalities included a pregnant woman and three children whose house was hit by a mortar. In another incident, a witness said he saw mortars hit a house twice, killing five members of the same family, including two children. "We are scared of the heavy mortars both sides are firing at innocent people," said exhausted mother-of-two, Asha Ismail, who spent the morning trying to escape the bombardment. The fierce fighting is the third round of Mogadishu street battles this year between gunmen allied to Islamic courts and militia from a self-styled anti-terrorist alliance of powerful warlords widely believed to be funded by Washington. "Siisii has been turned into a battleground. So many houses have been shelled and hundreds of residents are fleeing. It's a catastrophe," said Siyad Mohamed, a militia leader linked to the Islamic side. "The death toll will definitely rise." A brief truce collapsed on Wednesday. PROXY BATTLE Analysts view the fighting as a proxy battle between Islamic militants and Washington, which has long viewed Somalia as a terrorist haven. Some diplomats and security officials say there are a handful of al-Qaeda-linked militants working around Mogadishu, but Somalis do not generally support hardline views of Islam. Many say they hate the warlords after 15 years of being robbed and terrorized by their fighters. The Islamic courts have used sharia law to provide a semblance of order in the city of 1 million, where a power vacuum has fueled endemic violence for the last 15 years. Mohamed said the warlords had thrown 100 new gunmen into the battle overnight. A spokesman for the warlord alliance, Hussein Gutale Rage, denied this but confirmed fighting had continued through the night. Interim government spokesman Abdirahman Dinari condemned the killings and said the clashes could spill into other neighborhoods. "It's now street battles, but if it continues unabated more areas will be affected," he told Reuters from Baidoa, where the interim government is based but is powerless to control the warlords. Residents say neither side has gained the upper hand in heavy fighting that underlines the anarchy that has gripped Somalia since warlords ousted dictator Mohamed Siad Barre in 1991 before turning against each other. President Abdullahi Yusuf's fractious fledgling government has lacked the authority or resources to make a difference to the lives of ordinary Somalis since it was formed in 2004 and is too weak to return to Mogadishu. Undermined by an internal split over where the administration should be based, Yusuf's government includes some Mogadishu warlords and some allies of the Islamic courts. Influential Somali Islamist Sheik Dahir Aweys, whose name appears on a U.S. list of most wanted terrorists, has accused Washington of backing the warlords to avenge the killing of American soldiers in Mogadishu in the 1990s during a U.N. peacekeeping mission that ended in humiliation. U.N. monitors said in a report to the Security Council on Wednesday that they were investigating an unnamed country's violation of an arms embargo through clandestine support for the warlord "Alliance for the Restoration of Peace and Counter-Terrorism." Although the monitors did not identify the country, Yusuf has named the United States as the warlords' backer.
