"And yet the TFG is betting the 8000 African troops could do a better job than the Ethiopian occupiers in securing Mogadishu." Ethiopians are not safe even in their hiding places let alone secure Mogadishu, a city of 2+ million.

"They are the TFG's publicity stunt for the world. The aim? To show the world the TFG is based on secularism (secular wedding), and to show there's a sense of normality and safety where the TFG rules. " Guled Mohamed is just a journalist working for reuters. Even during the ICU rules, such weddings were common in Somalia. Lets just say may God bless them and guide them to practice Islam.

Expect more crimes against civilians from the Mbagathi mafia group and their Ethiopian-US masters.

Here is what AP[American Press], a mouth piece of American government wrote about the incident. No Islamic group took responsibility. MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) -- An explosion at an Islamic school for women and girls in Somalia's capital wounded at least seven people Friday, witnesses said, after a night of some of the worst violence in Mogadishu since the interim government took control from an Islamic movement. At least three mortars launched by unknown attackers overnight killed at least eight people and injured 20. Violence has been escalating in Mogadishu, a city of more than 2 million people that is riven by clan rivalries and believed to still be harboring remnants of the Islamic movement who have vowed to wage an Iraq-style insurgency.

Violence has been escalating in Mogadishu, a city of more than 2 million people that is riven by clan rivalries and believed to still be harboring remnants of the Islamic movement who have vowed to wage an Iraq-style insurgency. Friday's blast went off shortly before lunchtime at the Umu-A'isha school in southern Mogadishu, where 110 women and girls are enrolled. It may, like the overnight blasts, have been caused by a mortar. The attackers were unknown.

It may, like the overnight blasts, have been caused by a mortar. The attackers were unknown. 'I saw my teacher in a pool of blood' "I saw my teacher in pool of blood I though he was dead but I was told he was OK," 18-year-old student Sahra Hassan Yacquub told The Associated Press. "Seven people were wounded including two teachers." "I ran away from the school and hid behind a tree," said Yacquub, who was unhurt. "I saw black smoke sent into the air by the explosion. Soon I saw my teacher and his female assistant being rushed to the hospital in a minibus." Witnesses say all the injured were adults. The overnight attacks were on Mogadishu's seaport, a hotel and an Ethiopian military base. Ethiopian troops have provided crucial support to the government in ousting the Islamic movement. Deputy Defense Minister Salad Ali Jelle blamed the attacks on hardline remnants of the Islamic group, insisting his interim government is in control. "We have suspects and we know the areas where they plan their attacks," he told the AP by telephone. "We will punish them." An Islamic movement official, who asked not to be named fearing reprisals, said his group was not behind any of the attacks, calling them a popular uprising. The violence could delay the planned deployment of African peacekeepers, who are supposed to fill the void left by departing Ethiopian forces and help the government maintain its tenuous grip on power. "We were sleeping when two mortars hit our house here," Barlin Muse Dhere, who lives near the hotel, told the AP. Five people were killed, she said. Ahmed Abdi, a nurse at a hospital in the north of the city, said six people were admitted and two died of their wounds. Another person died when shells hit the hotel, witnesses said. Protesters want Islamists back, peacekeepers out Earlier Thursday, hundreds of supporters of the Islamic group had demonstrated in the capital against an imminent deployment of foreign peacekeepers. The protesters chanted anti-government slogans and burned tires, a day after the African Union said three battalions of peacekeepers from Uganda and Nigeria were ready to be deployed in Somalia and would be airlifted in as soon as possible. The protesters called for the return of the Islamic movement, which was credited with restoring some order in the violent nation. Factional violence has again become a feature of life in Mogadishu since last month when Somali government troops with crucial support from Ethiopian soldiers, tanks and war planes ousted the Islamic movement. As Ethiopia withdraws forces, fears of power vacuum Ethiopia, whose continued presence is deeply unpopular among Somalis, says it does not have the resources to stay and already has begun withdrawing, presenting the possibility of a dangerous power vacuum. The African Union was pressing ahead with its peacekeeping mission to Somalia despite securing only half the 8,000 troops needed at a key summit of African leaders that ended Tuesday. Somalis are wary of a foreign peacekeeping force following the disastrous U.N. intervention in the early 1990s, a bloody period even by Somali's turbulent history. On Tuesday, extremists in Somalia said they would try to kill any peacekeepers. The United States has accused the ousted Islamic movement of sheltering suspects in the 1998 al Qaeda bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. Osama bin Laden has said Somalia is a battleground in his war on the West. The U.S. launched two airstrikes against fleeing Islamic fighters, although details of the attacks are unknown.

Professor Samatar"“Somalis are told ‘you’re clans, not citizens’,” said Prof. Samatar, who observed the last reconciliation conference in Kenya." The best weapon Somali enemies have to keep Somalia divided and weak.

By: Abdirahman Aynte Fellow, The Center for Independent Media Minneapolis, MN (HOL)- Somalia was once Africa’s success story, but a combination of “balkanization” and a fatal social AIDS called “warlordism” reduced the country to become the main source of protracted conflict, according to Prof. Abdi Ismail Samatar, a geography and global studies professor at the University of Minnesota. He was a keynote speaker Thursday at Headliners, a monthly program sponsored by the College of Education at the University of Minnesota. Back in the 60s Somalia was a beacon and a champion of democracy in Africa. Power was democratically transferred. It took 26 years for the next African nation, Zambia, to achieve that goal, according to Prof. Samatar. But things got wildly out of control since then. A dictator took over, a civil war followed, an acute famine starved thousands to death, a U.S.-led mission failed, tiny “Balkans” fought over meager resources and a trail of self-anointed “transitional administrations” emerged and disappeared, until the current government was improvised in Kenya in 2004. Warlords, who long agreed to disagree, briefly agreed to the new government, but soon disagreed on it. Then, out of nowhere, the U.S. threw its dog into the fight. Clandestine services were bankrolling some of those notorious warlords to capture terror suspects. That backfired and gave an unprecedented rise to the Union of Islamic Courts (UIC), which soon controlled much of the country. In a classic Somali style, where the power doesn’t rest with one group for a while, the UIC was crushed by the mighty Ethiopian military firepower over the New Years. But just when you thought things are finally settling, it’s taking yet another downward spiral. Prof. Samatar pinpoints key problems. * Ethiopia, known to many Somalis as an arch enemy of Somalia, has a keen interest in either “dismembering Somalia into clan lines, or establishing a government that’s beholden to it,” said Prof. Samatar. * The TFG is dominated by blood-stained warlords, chiefly the president “who has no fiber of democracy,” said Prof. Samatar. “TFG has not served a glass of water to a child.” * The U.S. is “seen as an associate of those warlords and Ethiopia,” both of who have an unrepairable reputation among Somalis. What’s next? Prof. Samatar, though he said he’s naturally optimistic, offered a grim assessment. The U.S. and the European Union, which’s the chief financial backer of the TFG, has been pressuring President Abullahi Yusuf to open an earnest dialogue with his opponents and broaden the TFG. Increasing the size of TFG, Prof. Samatar said, strikes me as an overkill. The TFG, he added, has more than 50 cabinet ministers. (In comparison, the U.S. has 13.) The Somali parliament has 275 members, all of whom are hand-picked by warlords. (The U.S. has total of 535 members in the Congress.) “Somalis are told ‘you’re clans, not citizens’,” said Prof. Samatar, who observed the last reconciliation conference in Kenya. The African Union was also in a marathon to send an 8,000-strong peacekeeping force to Somalia upon the departure of Ethiopians. That isn’t getting enough traction either. So far, Uganda is the only African country that offered 1,000 soldiers. Add that to the insurgency that’s getting quite a bit of traction in Mogadishu. Sounds of daily gunfire are back in Mogadishu after eight months of silence under the UIC. “TFG has neither the integrity nor the caliper to serve Somalis,” said Prof. Samatar. He also accused Ethiopia of exporting its domestic problems into Somalia. He pointed to the election held last year, in which the Jimmy Carter Center, among other international observers, declared it a major fraud. Hundreds were killed in a subsequent protest and dozens of lawmakers are still locked up. “It’s a perversion of priorities in Africa,” he said, accusing Ethiopia of planning to replicate an equally repressive regime in Somalia. Asked if religion is playing a role in the current conflict, Prof. Samatar said it’s not, “but if Ethiopians remain in Somalia, it will.” He said sources told him that the U.S. is encouraging Ethiopia to retain troops in Somalia. What’s the way out? A serious political solution, decidedly warlord-averse, is the answer, says Prof. Samatar. Abdirahman Aynte can be reached at Ceynte@hiiraan.com

Exiled Somali Islamist rejects international forces 02 Feb 2007 14:58:20 GMT Source: Reuters Printable view | Email this article | RSS XML [-] Text [+] Background Somalia troubles More DUBAI, Feb 2 (Reuters) - Exiled Somali Islamist leader Sheikh Sharif Ahmed rejected the deployment of international forces in the Horn of Africa country and in remarks aired on Friday called for serious talks for national reconciliation. "Peace does not come by force ... but by conducting talks and serious negotiations in which all the problems are identified and resolved," Ahmed told Al Jazeera television from Nairobi. "The problem cannot be resolved by international forces because what has happened was an invasion and following up on that with international forces would further complicate the crisis," he added. Ahmed, considered a moderate in the Islamist movement, is viewed by the United States as a possible key to Somali reconciliation talks. Ethiopian troops and Somali interim government forces launched an offensive in late December that routed the Islamists who had controlled most of south Somalia since June. The government wants an African Union (AU) peacekeeping force of about 8,000 troops to help the government keep control. But many doubt the AU's capacity to muster the full contingent, let alone tame a nation that defied the combined efforts of U.S. and U.N. peacekeepers in the early 1990s. "If it (deployment of forces) was not preceded by agreement and serious discussions, it will make the situation more difficult in Somalia," he said. Asked whether the Islamists would use arms against such a force, he said: "How can it be acceptable if it came after invading forces and without an agreement, without negotiation?" "How can we accept it and we see it as (two sides of the) same coin? We see it as one coin, whether Ethiopian or otherwise, and we will deal with it the same way." The Islamists have vowed to conduct a guerrilla war, and many suspect their hardcore militants have been behind a spate of attacks in Mogadishu on Ethiopian and government positions. Ahmed surrendered on the border with Kenya in January and was held in the custody of Kenyan intelligence until a few days ago. During that time, he met with U.S. envoy to Kenya Michael Ranneberger, who also has responsibility for Somalia. A British-based Web site on Thursday quoted Ahmed as saying he planned to travel to Yemen shortly. Western leaders have pressed Somalia's transitional government to form an inclusive administration. The Islamist chief said the Somali government should make concessions for national talks to attain their goals. "If the Somali government is ready to negotiate with an open mind then these negotiations can succeed," he said. "But if the government remains with this hardline, then nothing can be done. "If several sides believe that national dialogue is the way forward for Somalia, they should try to press the government to concede its hardline positions toward negotiations then we might achieve something," Ahmed said.

No Somalia support from Saleh -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Abi Mohame abdimmc@hotmail.com Thursday February 01, 2007 "No matter if Ethiopia invaded Somalia,'' Ali Abdallah Salih, the president of Yemen. This was reportedly said by President Saleh in an interview with Emarites Al-Bayan Newspaper. This statement reminded me the late '70s when Somali waged war against the Ethiopians and had captured the entire western Somalia and the Ethiopians were defeated irreparably by the brave Somali army. The Russians had declared war against Somalia. The history has in record that the then Southern Yemen sided with the Russians and sent tanks and fighter jets and troops to back the defeated Ethiopians. Now, when all the Muslim world and some non-Muslim countries have condemned the Ethiopian aggression and its invasion of Somalia, what made Saleh support Ethiopia against Somalia? Is there enmity between Yemeni and Somali people? Have Yemenis grudges against us? Have you any scores against us? Why?

MOGADISHU, Somalia: Hundreds of supporters of Somalia's ousted Islamic group demonstrated in the capital Thursday against an imminent deployment of foreign peacekeepers. The protesters chanted anti-government slogans and burned tires, a day after the African Union said three battalions of peacekeepers from Uganda and Nigeria were ready to be deployed in Somalia and will be airlifted in as soon as possible. "We will not tolerate foreign troops coming to our country," demonstrator Saida Hussien said. "We will show the world that we are against the foreign troops." Another demonstrator, Abdiqadir Hassan Diriye, said, "As long as I'm breathing, I will fight with the foreign troops who are coming to our country." The demonstrators, who protested in northern Mogadishu - an area known for its strong support of the Islamic group - carried placards that read, "We don't want foreign troops," and "Down with Ethiopia," referring to Ethiopia's military intervention that routed the Council of Islamic Courts. The protesters called for the return of the Islamic movement, which was credited with restoring some order in the violent nation. Factional violence has again become a feature of life in Mogadishu since last month when Somali government troops with crucial support from Ethiopian soldiers, tanks and war planes ousted the Islamic movement. Mortar and grenade attacks have also been launched against Ethiopian and government troop garrisons in the city. Ethiopia, whose continued presence is deeply unpopular among Somalis, says it does not have the resources to stay and already has begun withdrawing, presenting the possibility of a dangerous power vacuum. The African Union was pressing ahead with its peacekeeping mission to Somalia despite securing only half the 8,000 troops needed at a key summit of African leaders that ended Tuesday. Five nations - Uganda, Nigeria, Malawi, Burundi and Ghana - have pledged around 4,000 troops so far. Somalis are wary of a foreign peacekeeping force following the disastrous U.N. intervention in the early 1990s, a bloody period even by Somali's turbulent history. On Tuesday, extremists in Somalia said they would try to kill any peacekeepers. In a videotape posted on the official Web site of the Islamic movement, a hooded gunman read a statement saying that any African peacekeepers would be seen as invaders. The United States has accused the Council of Islamic Courts of sheltering suspects in the 1998 al-Qaida bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. Osama Bin Laden has said Somalia is a battleground in his war on the West. The U.S. launched two airstrikes against fleeing Islamic fighters, although details of the attacks are unknown. Somalia has not had an effective national government since 1991, when warlords overthrew dictator Mohamed Siad Barre and then turned on one another, throwing the country into anarchy. The transitional government was formed in 2004 with U.N. help.

Erdogan: I am ashamed as a human Turkish PM in Addis Ababa Erdogan: I am ashamed as a human Touring Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa yesterday, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he felt "ashamed as a human" on seeing the poverty-stricken conditions of some of the people living there. Erdogan toured the Muslim and Christian neighborhood of Filoha in Addis Ababa, passing out cookies and biscuits to children, and speaking with residents. He also stopped in at the second largest mosque in the city, and greeted the imam there. Comparing his visit with a previous one to Darfur in Sudan, Erdogan noted "There I visited a camp for refugees. Here, there is hunger and poverty, but we are in Ethopia, and in the capital." Erdogan was joined on his tour by various government officials, as well as his daughter, Sumeyye Erdogan.

May Allah belss those fighting enemy occupation.
