AU envoy urges negotiations with Somalia rebels By James Macharia Wednesday, November 23, 2011 NAIROBI (Reuters) - The African Union special envoy for Somalia on Wednesday urged countries waging war on al Shabaab to keep an open door to negotiations with militants who are willing to lay down their weapons. Neighbouring Kenya sent hundreds of troops into southern Somalia in mid-October to crush the Islamist insurgents it blames for a series of kidnappings on its soil and regular cross-border attacks. Its air force has launched sporadic strikes on what it says are rebel targets. Ethiopia also sent dozens of military trucks and armoured vehicles into central Somalia over the weekend, witnesses said. "I'm not saying that Kenya should consider negotiating with al Shabaab. I'm saying that all of us engaged in the effort to bring stability to Somalia should not shut the door to combatant elements who would want to put aside their weapons and talk politics," said Jerry Rawlings, former president of Ghana and now AU representative for Somalia. "Even as we are doing combat ... let's also create an opening for them to come on board politically. Let's not shut all the doors to them," Rawlings told a news conference in Nairobi. The AU has backed Kenya's pursuit of al Qaeda-linked al Shabaab inside Somalia to secure stability in the Horn of Africa country and ensure Kenya's own security. But Rawlings warned on Wednesday that the conflict would be complex and bloody. "It is important to maintain the support of the local populace," he said. "The exercise that your armed forces are going to undertake is a complex one, because a lot of it will involve fighting in urban dwelling areas, and you will have to be prepared for some casualties." Somalia's Prime Minister Abdiweli Mohamed Ali told Reuters in September that his government was open to talks with al Shabaab's top commanders and informal talks had been held. Al Shabaab, fighting to impose a harsh interpretation of sharia law on the nation, have vowed to revenge against the region's biggest economy and bring the "flames of war" to its neighbour. LIBERATION? Kenya's Defence Minister Yusuf Haji, who attended the news conference, declined to say whether the east African nation would negotiate with any al Shabaab rebels. He reiterated that Kenya had the right to pursue the enemy inside Somali territory. "What we are trying to do is liberate as many areas of Somalia as possible," Haji said. He urged Rawlings to help secure the assistance of the AU peacekeeping force, AMISOM, "to come and take position in the liberated areas whenever it is necessary". About 9,000 Ugandan and Burundian soldiers make up AMISOM, which is propping up the shaky Western-backed Somali government and now controls much of the capital Mogadishu after al Shabaab withdrew in August from the coastal city. The Horn of Africa country has been racked by violence since the overthrow of dictator Siad Barre in 1991 allowed first warlords, then Islamist militants, to step into the political vacuum. Ethiopia publicly denies its forces are inside Somalia. Addis Ababa has said a decision on whether to join the assault against al Shabaab in some form would be taken on Friday at a meeting of east African heads of state. Ethiopia entered Somalia in December 2006, with tacit U.S. backing and at the invitation of a Somali government, and left under a cloud in 2009 after routing a previous Islamist administration. But Ethiopia's perceived occupation deeply angered many Somalis, helping to swell the ranks of al Shabaab. Asked if the Ethiopians' re-entry into Somalia would be well received, Rawlings said: "Quite frankly I think they have learnt the necessary lessons and the feedback we are getting is that they are coming on board, we are on the same page.

The Goldogob armed Militia are once again fighting against the one sub clan state when does it end?

Just talks i want to see action from the Garowe Boys as for the conference i think the conference will be held in Nairobi kenya.What politics is stopping you from fighting for the land you are Claiming?

Qandalawi;760853 wrote: Xaaji Xunjuf, all in your mind, you see a world war two in Bari, you see only pirates in Puntland, you see chaos, wars, destruction and tensions mapped all over Puntland cities, but it's all in your mind. There is no tension between the two brotherly communities, only an incident occurred in which few lives were lost from Puntland side and the state raised questions. That's all. We have been here and seen worse situation, only few months ago, when more lives were lost from both sides and the issue was resolved peacefully, nothing big or bloody war occurred as you hoped! Unfortunately, you see tension, an all out war build up and a never ending bloody war against the two brotherly communities when there is none. i did not say there is a full scale war i merely said there were some tensions and that's a fact i call upon the elders of puntland to solve this situation since the Politicians failed to disarm local clans in the region.

Silly posts there are tensions between the two clan states galmudug and farooles puntland it should be reported just not the way the allssc guys report it

Funny pic of faroole qolyahan allssc they are so unprofessional when they try publish news

What conference I don't think any conference will be held in garowe maybe a peace conference between the reer bari

Galmudug na walaga cabanaya lol

Abtigis how do you say way duushay in Swahili loool but on a serious note comparing the mandate of the amisom forces in somalia with several illegal invasions in somalia is depressing I have to day. You of all people should know what kind of effect foreign troops can have on people and certainly they won't help re establish peace and stability in the failed state but then again clan interest comes first national interest comes second. Dantaa wadanimo diidnay diidnay Danta Dawladnimo diidnay diintay Danta tolka doonay doonay Danta tolka riixnay riixnay

The reason why my nephew abtigis sees xiinfanin everywhere its because xiin is the biggest obstacle to abtigis dream clan state in somalia azaniya state of somalia to be precisely xiinfanin is allowed to have his clan state and abtigis is not.

Or his second wife to be

I agree with NORF Nin baan sanifay siyaasad maha ma dhocil yar ba oo afka buuraysa oo nin ka wiswistay you need to be against his political ideas or something hebel baan sanifay xaajo rageed maha.

Clan state versus Khat dealers where is this world going.

The Red Mohammads want two Ministers Madaxweyne laba wasiir ba naga maqan loool Laakin Sultaanku wa Muwaadin xita ictraafki wu u heesay waleh waaa so dhowyahay.

Thankful time will tell there are still more than 10.000 Amisom forces in and around Mogadisho but the TFG is still on life support from various foreign troops.The day there is no single foreign soldier in Somalia is the day we can say they control things Alshabaab is a big problem and an obstacle to Somalia's peace but there are different ways to defeat them.

Galmudug is in control of south Galkacyo i don't think there is Alshabaab there if you know that there are Alshabaab there bring evidence.Sure Ethiopians and Kenyans are Military Superior but they can't win a Long war in Cities and towns they can't control it and they know that they just want to weaken Alshabaab in the central regions but they know they can't win a long war against the Alshabaab Militants.

It is a political group that espouses that Somalia shall be united and Islamic in its identity I agree unity for Somalia eventhough hiilqaran brings some solutions they need an Army if you want to do something in Somalia you need an army.

It can't be really Alshabaab i think Alshabaab is to busy fighting Amisom Ethiopians Kenyans they might just be some Clan Militia but we shall wait and see how it turns.

if i knew i wouldn't ask Mr Thankful
