Four More Officials Quit Somalia's Government By Hassan Yare Reuters Thursday, August 3, 2006; Page A18 BAIDOA, Somalia, Aug. 2 -- Four top officials resigned from Somalia's interim government Wednesday, citing the prime minister's reluctance to reach out to a rival Islamic militia that controls the capital and a southern swath of the country. The resignations of the four junior ministers brought to 34 the number of officials who have left the Western-backed but virtually powerless government in less than a week. We have resigned because the prime minister has refused reconciliation to go on between the government and the Islamic courts and all the Somalis," said Hirsi Adan Roble, an assistant minister. Somali media quoted the Islamic militia as welcoming the move and calling for more ministers to resign. "This is great step forward, and we call upon everybody in the government to step aside," Hassan Dahir Aweys, the militia's leader, was quoted as saying. "It is not the correct cabinet that fits Somali people, so they have taken the correct decision." The latest resignations came a day after 12 other ministers and assistant ministers walked out in a move that analysts and government sources said might clear the way for the newly powerful Islamic militia to take ministerial posts. The militia, however, has not indicated whether it is interested in power-sharing. Eighteen ministers and other top officials also resigned last Thursday from their posts in Baidoa, 150 miles northwest of the capital, where the interim government is based. The resignations leave Prime Minister Ali Mohamed Gedi appearing increasingly vulnerable, although he survived a no-confidence vote in parliament last weekend. Gedi said the resignations had had little impact on his administration. "It's not affecting the possibility of the government to run the country," he told BBC radio. Gedi has come under increasing pressure from opponents who have criticized his performance. The Islamic militia seized Mogadishu from U.S.-backed warlords in June and now controls much of southern Somalia. Diplomats say sharing power with the militia is the best way of averting war in the Horn of Africa country, deprived of effective central rule since warlords ousted dictator Mohamed Siad Barre in 1991. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/08/02/AR2006080201750.html?nav=rss_world

that somalia couldn't continue producing real men like these

i don't believe anything anymore they said a few weeks ago that islamic courts banned coca cola and bla bla bla and that they arrested boys for drinking it :confused: or during those battles between ICU and those warlords they counted the causulties of the warlord militia's with the miskiin civilians who got caught in the crossfire making it seem like actually 400 civilians died it's all a mess

'''are they going to chop his hands and feet??''' people are getting childish walahi if it wasn't for the ICU the picture you see now would have been different and on that car would have been a machine gun and those young boys would be strapped with ammunition and AK'S big up to the Islamic courts Insha-allah they will embarrass the tigre militia Insha-allah

son of b's there using our nation as a battleground walahi somali leaders today man buncha cowards they make me sick when we had a government every nation in east africa feared us now there using us a playground

so fill me in this thread is a year old was it a scam?? or is it still on the table??

roughly 2,000 Ethiopian troops earlier this week crossed in at Dollow, where the borders of Kenya, Somalia and Ethiopia converge, along with several tanks to complement about 2,000 soldiers already there, various sources said. "They had crossed with tanks, about a dozen, and about another 2,000-3,000 men," a Western diplomat said. A military expert who monitors security daily and a government official based in Baidoa -- the government's temporary base and only outpost -- confirmed that. "The Ethiopian troops are in several locations within Somalia, scattered all over in Dollow, Bulahawo, Wajid and in other remote locations on the outskirts of Baidoa," the Somali government official said. "Most of the troops are ethnic Somali Ethiopians," he said © Reuters 2006. All Rights Reserved. http://go.reuters.co.uk/newsArticle....=worldNews&sto ryID=1326655§ion=news&src=rss/uk/worldNews

you forget that UIC is well armed you forget Eritrea..it would send it's troops if ethiopia intervened you forget ONLF/OLF etc etc wich are a big burden on meles and his Tigre militia this is not the end of UIC only the beginning but it does mean more suffering to the somali people insha-allah they will defeat these meat eaters and send them back to their sh1t hole

first they evicted the bloodsucking warlords then they destroyed the 16 yr old roadblocks Less extortion There are far fewer check-points, where gunmen used to extort money from passing motorists and commercial vehicles. The UIC gunmen do operate road blocks but they do not demand payment from civilians. As a result food prices have dropped. One kilogramme of rice used to cost 9,500 Somali shillings (65 US cents) but the price is now 3,500 shillings. Camel meat has also fallen from 30,000 shillings per kilo, to 22,000. "We no longer hire security militia for our commodities and we don't pay militia check-points - that is why the goods are still at their normal prices," said businessman Abdikarin Abukar Fodare. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/5168008.stm it's funny how politicians always promise change but never deliver UIC promised and it delivered direct changes and people benefit from it then..... MOGADISHU, Somalia, June 17 -- Sometimes, the women here said, it began with a knock on the door after dark or with a kidnapping in broad daylight. And sometimes, the gunmen who ruled this city would use a long, sharp knife to slice open the tin shacks of poor families and snatch their daughters away. The girls would return -- if they returned -- in the morning, sobbing and marked permanently as castoffs in a traditional Islamic society that demands virginity at marriage. "Four-year-old girls, 5-year-old girls were raped," said Anab Mohamed ***** , 35, a solemn, long-faced widow who has two girls among her five children. "I was scared for my daughters." An epidemic of sexual violence during 15 years of lawlessness in Somalia was among the factors that strengthened opposition to this city's notorious warlords, residents said. The Islamic militias who drove them out in months of recent fighting were embraced as keepers of public order, as a force strong enough and pious enough to keep Mogadishu's daughters safe . http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/06/17/AR2006061700848.html i don't give a bleep what clothes my sisters are wearing as long as they are safe i have no problems with it you hear that 4 yr olds and 5 yrs olds :mad: just thinking about it makes me sick i have a sister who's 7 and if i lived in mogadishu today i would skip 20 world cups as long as i can live in a safe enviroment where i don't have to fear dirty perverts doing her harm the UIC was able to create that in mogadishu something the U.S U.N AU,ABCDEFG bla bla bla and 2344 failed interim governments of the past were unable to achieve in 16 yrs UIC did it in 3 months and some in the diaspora still complain they asked the remaining warlords to give up in a peacefull manner without bloodshed but those myopic beings with their popstar mentality refused leaving the UIC with no choice but to use force so they cleaned mogadishu from it's remaining warlords the UIC also created a safer business climate piracy is down 3 months ago they were calling it a international crisis and every news channel was reporting it now they don't even comment on the positive change business have started their own coast guards that patrol somali waters with pirates loosing their biggest powerbase a.k.a warlords and the instability of mogadishu they are afraid to attack ships After the islamic take over the people are experiencing a booming business with no roadblocks or militia's everything is going smooth The stabilisation of Mogadishu after Islamist leaders ousted US-backed warlords has dealt a blow to pirates and given a boost to business in the Horn of Africa nation, a prominent Somali businessman said. "We never had business like this before," Abdulkadir Nur, who manages the strategic El Maan port just north of the Somali capital, said as six ships from Dubai unloaded wood, sugar and cooking oil on the beach behind him. A bustling, natural port with 10,000 workers and an annual discharge of some 300,000 tonnes of food, El Maan’s facilities are an object lesson in Somali ingenuity. A single, floating pipe offloads oil from a tanker just a few hundred metres offshore. Further down the beach, barges bulging with wood, sacks of sugar, and cooking oil containers ferry backwards and forwards from waiting ships. Source: Reuters, June 18, 2006 somalis are prospering under the new one body rule the UIC continues to seek dialogue with the TFG and avoid more bloodshed even when it's turned down the mogadishu port is back for business after a decade of misuse the mogadishu airport is back for commercial flights after 11 yrs all in all i support the UIC for the positive changes they have created in such a small time the fact that they put fear in meles the donkey makes me very happy i hope they get rid of mr white eyes and continue to avoid bloodshed and seek dialogue and change some of the punishment methods like public stabbings or stoning the statement of shariff of giving people back their properties is something i really hope becomes a reality and the new team that will deal with the sanitation and hygiene of mogadishu's long neglected streets makes my support for UIC even bigger insha-allah they will succeed!

The Islamists horror ones, they are dealing people inhumanely†he said adding that his defeaters starting evil acts in the country. “We know what their intension is, they will not bring peace in the Capital but they will restart new trouble instead†Qeybdiid said through the phone in Galkaio. what a b.s why do they even let donkeys like this guy talk all of them warlords were defeated and humiliated now that there popstar life is over it's hard for them to deal with it what a waste
