"SomaliResistance you are doing a good job. I hate the ICU but i dont want us to be defeated either." Atleast you did not allow our outside enemies to use your homebase as staging ground to bomb and shell your fellow brothers.

Asked whether Ethiopia would prefer the clan leaders to the Islamic Courts, Shinn says, “I think from the standpoint of the Ethiopians they would probably answer that yes. At a minimum, that would put it back to a status quo situation, where no single entity is in charge. And I think they would see that as preferable to a unified Islamic Court structure, some of whom have espoused irredentist claims on Ethiopia. The warlords never did that.” Better to have warlords, clan fiefdoms than a unified Somalia, good reasons for the iligal invasion if you are Meles and his masters USA.

Former US Ambassador Questions Ethiopian Military Strategy in Somalia By Joe De Capua Washington 27 December 2006 De Capua interview with David Shinn mp3 De Capua interview with David Shinn ra As Ethiopia continues its military advances in Somalia, observers are debating the wisdom of the strategy. For an analysis, VOA English to Africa Service reporter Joe De Capua spoke with Dr. David Shinn of George Washington University, a former US ambassador to Ethiopia. Dr. Shinn gives his short-term and long-term views of the situation. He says he thinks Ethiopian forces may try to encircle the capital, Mogadishu. “I strongly doubt they have any desire to go into Mogadishu and repeat the problems that earlier peacekeeping forces have had in a major, highly confined urban area. But perhaps just sit outside Mogadishu and try to in effect strangle the (Islamic) courts. What I’m perplexed at though is how this accomplishes that unless you’re there a very, very long time,” Shinn says. As for the long term, the former ambassador says, “If you stay there, you open yourself to guerilla attack. And if you leave I guess you’re assuming that you reinstall those Somali elements, including the warlords, who were there before.” Asked whether Ethiopia would prefer the clan leaders to the Islamic Courts, Shinn says, “I think from the standpoint of the Ethiopians they would probably answer that yes. At a minimum, that would put it back to a status quo situation, where no single entity is in charge. And I think they would see that as preferable to a unified Islamic Court structure, some of whom have espoused irredentist claims on Ethiopia. The warlords never did that.” He says while that might benefit Ethiopia, it could have a negative effect on Somalia. “If you look at it from the standpoint of what is best for Somali security, putting aside Islamic Court ideology, then what the courts had installed in terms of security, at least in the greater Mogadishu area, I think most Somalis would say it’s far preferable. albeit disagreeing with some of the extreme positions of some of the courts,” he says. He says some elements of the courts have done ”some outrageous things that I think were not popular with most Somalis. But they did establish security. And that was the overriding concern of Somalis.”

Ethiopia urged to leave Somalia The transitional government says it is forcing the militia to retreat The African Union has called on Ethiopia to withdraw thousands of troops from Somalia immediately. The call, supported by the Arab League and the east African grouping IGAD, comes after Ethiopia intervened to support Somalia's interim government. In recent days, Ethiopian and Somali government forces have captured ground previously held by Islamic militias. They are reported to be 30km (19 miles) north of the capital Mogadishu, after seizing the towns of Jowhar and Balad. The Somali Prime Minister, Ali Mohammed Gedi told the BBC the people of Mogadishu would welcome his troops with flowers when they arrived in Mogadishu, and said the Ethiopian troops would be sent home as soon as the government controlled the whole country. But after a meeting at AU headquarters in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, the AU Commission chairman Alpha Oumar Konare said the AU, Arab League and IGAD wanted to see Ethiopian troops withdraw without delay. "We appeal for urgent support for the transitional government and the withdrawal of all troops and foreign elements," he said. Our troops will surround Mogadishu until the Islamists surrender Ambassador Abdikarin Farah Violence alarms press US keeps a close watch The African Union is powerless when it comes to forcing the issue but it is unprecedented for the organisation to be so critical of its host nation Ethiopia, reports the BBC's Amber Henshaw in Addis Ababa. On Tuesday, the AU said Ethiopia had the right to intervene militarily in Somalia as it felt threatened by the Islamic militia operating there. The Somali ambassador to Ethiopia, Abdikarin Farah, said it was up to the Somali and Ethiopian governments to decide when the troops would leave. He suggested Somali soldiers, who are currently supported by Ethiopian armour and thousands of Ethiopian troops, would continue their advance towards Mogadishu. "We are not going to fight for Mogadishu, to avoid civilian casualties. Our troops will surround Mogadishu until they (the Islamists) surrender," the ambassador said, quoted by Reuters news agency. At the weekend Ethiopia began a major offensive against militia loyal to the Union of Islamic Courts (UIC), which held much of central and southern Somalia. Jowhar, 90km (56 miles) north of Mogadishu, is a former UIC stronghold, and its loss leaves the Islamists with control of little more than the coast, including Mogadishu and the southern port city of Kismayo. The UIC's two most senior military commanders - the defence chief, Yusuf Indade, and his deputy, Abu Mansur - are currently both on the Hajj pilgrimage in Mecca. Humanitarian concerns Both sides say they have inflicted hundreds of casualties. The Red Cross has reported more than 850 injured people at hospitals it supports. The UN's World Food Programme has suspended air drops into southern Somalia because of the fighting, but the Red Cross says it has been able to continue its cargo flights to its partners in Somalia. Agencies are having difficulty reaching people affected by months of drought, which has now been followed by flooding The UN High Commissioner for Refugees says it is concerned that many people may be fleeing the fighting, and is preparing to receive them in camps along the Kenyan border. HAVE YOUR SAY It is shameful that the African Union has supported the aggression of Ethiopia against Somalia Victor Hamutenya, Windhoek Send us your comments The UN Security Council, which has been debating the Somalia conflict, is due to resume discussions in New York. Splits have emerged on the council, with Qatar insisting that any statement should call for the immediate withdrawal of all foreign forces, including Ethiopia's, from Somalia. Other council members say that this should not apply to Ethiopian troops, arguing that they are in Somalia at the request of the interim government. The UIC - which seized control of the capital six months ago - has introduced law and order to the capital and much of southern Somalia for the first time in 16 years. But other countries accuse the UIC of links to al-Qaeda, charges it denies. Somalia and Ethiopia - a mainly Christian nation - have a history of troubled relations, and Islamists have long called for a holy war against Ethiopian troops in Baidoa.

THE WORLD FROM BERLIN Ethiopia's Invasion Seen Worsening Somali Chaos Ethiopia's offensive against the Union of Islamic Courts in Somalia risks plunging the region into a long war which may end up strengthening the Islamists. And if America sees the invasion as a chance to weaken Islamic radicalism, it's seriously misguided. AP Members of the Islamic militia posing with their guns during an anti-Ethiopia rally in the Somali capital Mogadishu in October. Ethiopa's military offensive against the Union of Islamic Courts, which holds the Somali capital Mogadishu and much of central and southern Somalia, is a dangerous act of aggression that could lead to a protracted war and even strengthen the Islamists, according to German media commentators who see the conflict as opening up a new battlefield in the American-led global war against Islamic extremists. The UIC -- which seized Mogadishu six months ago -- has introduced law and order to the capital and much of southern Somalia for the first time in 16 years. But other countries accuse the UIC of links to al-Qaida, charges it denies. Somalia and Ethiopia -- a mainly Christian nation -- have a history of troubled relations and Islamists have long called for a holy war against Ethiopian troops supporting the Somali transitional government. The United States State Department has signaled Washington's backing for Ethiopia by noting that it had "genuine security concerns" arising from the Islamist gains in Somalia. Center-left newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung writes: "The war that has broken out at the Horn of Africa will be hard to contain. It is unlikely that the intervention of Addis Ababa can lead to a victory over the Islamists. "The Ethiopian army is well-equipped and one of the largest on the African continent. But even if it beats the Islamists on the battlefield -- it will fail to destroy the political base of the Union of Islamic Courts which has won a lot of support among the population because it offers an alternative to the despotism of the warlords who have been wrecking Somalia for years." "Some of these warlords are now on the side of the Somali transitional government, which considerably reduces its credibility. The more heavily Ethiopia intervenes, the more this plays into the hands of the Islamists. They can then easily slip into the role of good guardian protecting Somalia from an external enemy." "Bombs on airports and artillery fire only increase the chaos. Instead of isolating the Islamists, the international community should quickly get the warring parties to the negotiating table. The Islamists are so strongly entrenched in the country that there can no longer be a political solution without them. The Americans might not like that but they should accept it. Otherwise it will take a very long time for the guns to fall silent in Somalia." Left-wing Die Tageszeitung writes: "Washington is supporting the transitional government to prevent an Islamist victory. But the USA is employing the wrong means. It is supporting warlords who are hated among the population and the Americans believe they can use Ethiopia as a proxy to avoid having to use their own troops. That is simply idiotic. Ethiopia is Somalia's archenemy, partly because of a territorial conflict. If Ethiopian troops enter Somalia it will drive even moderate Islamists into the Islamists' camp." "Why should all this interest us? Because Europe isn't an Island of the Blessed. A regional war at the Horn of Africa and the emergence of a new area of retreat for terrorists threatens our own security. That's part of globalization too." David Crossland, 3:30 CET

I'm not surprised to see the anti-Islam coalition of Ethiopia and USA work so hard together to eliminate the ICU..But I'm very surprised to see some segments of our society not only cheerlead but are proudly hosting the same air planes that have bombed our cities and towns including our beloved capital city. Such betrayel of that magnitude will no doubt hamper and make peace and reconciliation among our people difficult if not impossible. No doubt those against the anti-Islam coalition[somaalida xalaasha ah] will have to adobt the new realities on the ground and do everything possible to put an end the dream of our enemies inside and outside what used to be former Somalia.

Editorial: Outside Players 27 December 2006 After fifteen years of murderous chaos, Somalia was on the brink of peace. The Union of Islamic Courts (UIC) had achieved what the squabbling warlords had failed so signally to do. They had brought stability and an end to violence in the capital Mogadishu and large areas of the country. They had not managed this purely by force of arms. There has been widespread support for their advance simply because of the stability and end to insecurity that they promised. The warlords had had their chance. Even when they finally agreed a government, they were incapable of agreeing on its establishment in Somalia itself; so Somalis were treated to the ridiculous spectacle of a government that could only meet safely on Kenyan soil. >From its position of strength, the UIC might reasonably have expected to come to a deal with the rump of the warlords whose toehold in Somalia is around the eastern town of Baidoa. An accommodation might have been reached which could have included the warlords in a new coalition with the UIC pending proper elections. Tragically, as has happened so often in Somalia’s history, outside forces believed they had a vested interest in the country. Ethiopia has long considered Somalia within its sphere of influence, not least as part of its ongoing conflict with Eritrea. Thus Addis Ababa has thrown its military weight behind the rump of warlord government in Baidoa. It is widely assumed that for their part, the Eritreans have been assisting the UIC. Ethiopia did itself little service by denying flatly that there were more than a few “military advisers” assisting the warlord government. Within hours, a BBC correspondent had reported seeing a vast convoy of Ethiopian troops and materiel just outside Baidoa. With yesterday’s attack on Mogadishu airport by its jets, Addis Ababa has finally abandoned the lie of noninvolvement. There is now fierce fighting in the east of the country with Ethiopian troops directly engaged with UIC forces. Inevitably, the greatest impact of these clashes has been on luckless civilians who are fleeing the fighting. Somalis, stricken first by drought and more recently by floods, are in little position to sustain themselves. Already the International Red Cross is predicting a major refugees exodus and another potential humanitarian disaster. Washington is backing the warlords and their Ethiopian protectors because they are certain that the UIC is another Taleban that will harbor and foster Al-Qaeda terrorists. There is once again no attempt to analyze the real nature of the UIC or their outstanding success in a country for so long driven by internal conflict. The Bush White House is yet again driven by a simplistic and racist rationale to confront a Muslim party. The bigotry is reinforced by the fact that the Ethiopians are Christian. Such dunderheaded foreign-policy assessments by Washington have already cost tens of thousands of lives. Thanks to this learn-nothing US administration, the price in blood seems set to rise yet further. http://www.arabnews.com/?page=7§ion=0&article=90438&d=27&m=12&y=2006

Ethiopia pushes deeper into Somalia The Islamic courts say they have killed hundreds of Ethiopian fighters [Reuters] Thousands of Ethiopian troops, backed by aircraft, artillery and tanks, have escalated a military offensive against fighters from the Islamic Courts Union. The Ethiopians, backing fighters loyal to Somalia's internationally recognised - but largely powerless - interim government, captured the town of Baladweyne on Monday. They also bombed airports to prevent the courts from rearming and moved further into courts-held territory. Yusuf Dabo Geed, a Somali government officer, said: "We have taken control of Baladweyne and our forces are chasing the terrorists. "We call on the international community to act soon about this violation" Sheikh Mohamed Ibrahim Bilal, Islamic courts commander "We have killed more than 60 Islamists, wounded others and captured some as prisoners of war." Baladweyne is 100km north of Baidoa, seat of the transitional government. The offensive came after thousands of Ethiopian soldiers prevented the Islamist Courts Union from surrounding and capturing Baidoa, the only major city under government control. Following their defeat in Baladweyne, leaders of the Islamic courts called on the Ethiopian troops to withdraw. Sheikh Mohamed Ibrahim Bilal, a senior Islamic commander, said: "We call on the international community to act soon about this violation." Both sides have reported killing hundreds of their opponents in the recent fighting, but the claims could not be independently confirmed. Ethiopia bombs airports Baidoa is the only major town controlled by Somlia's interim government Also on Monday, Ethiopian fighter jets bombed the airports of Mogadishu, the Islamist-held capital, and Baledogle, Somalia's largest military airfield 100km to the west. Ibrahim Hassan Adow, the foreign secretary of the Islamic Courts Union, told Al Jazeera that the bombing of Mogadishu by Ethiopian MiG aircraft injured two people, one of whom was a cleaner. "Ethiopian attacks against Somalia have no limits. It seems the entire world is silent about it." Ethiopia said it bombed the airport in order to halt the supply of arms to the courts. Solomon Abede, the Ethiopian foreign ministry spokesman, said: "It was attacked because illegal flights were attempting to land there. "It was also reported that some of the extremists were waiting for an airlift out of Mogadishu." In November, a UN arms-monitoring group reported that flights originating in Eritrea, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Djibouti and Syria landed in Mogadishu and Baledogle. The UN and the Somali government said that many of the flights carried arms and military supplies for the Islamic Courts. The US has also been accused of funding and arming those fighting for the government. Border closed The Islamic courts guard Mogadishu's airport after the air raid [Reuters] The Somali government said that it was closing the country's borders. This is little more than a symbolic measures as the government controls little more than the town of Baidoa while the country's long borders are largely unmarked. However, aid agencies said they feared that the measure would hamper their attempts to send food and medical supplies into the poverty-stricken country. The UN World Food Programme airlifted more than 14 tons of food into Somalia on Monday, but had not yet been notified of any border closures, Peter Smerdon, an agency spokesman, said.
