Ethiopia May Join Alliance Against Somalia's Al-Shabab Peter Heinlein | Addis Ababa Reuters A Kenyan soldier stands guard an airstrip in an area near the Somali-Kenyan border where al-Shabab militants are active (file photo). An alliance of mostly East African nations is preparing a coordinated military campaign in Somalia to finish off the embattled al-Shabab extremist group. The al-Qaida-inspired extremists were driven out of the Somali capital, Mogadishu by African Union troops in August, and have recently lost ground to advancing Kenyan forces in the south. The plan includes possibly sending Ethiopian troops back to Somalia. The ongoing Kenyan operation in southern Somalia, and al-Shabab's recent collapse in Mogadishu, are raising hopes that the militants' stranglehold on Somalia can be broken. Toward that end, heads of state from the six-nation Horn of Africa regional bloc known as IGAD will meet next Friday to discuss a military strategy aimed at greatly expanding the control of Somalia's weak Transitional Federal Government. Planners say the Addis Ababa summit will encourage all IGAD countries, including Ethiopia, to contribute to the effort. Ethiopian officials say no formal decision has been made on joining the list of troop contributing countries. But foreign ministry spokesman Dina Mufti says Addis Ababa will help the campaign in any way possible. "You can simply guess Ethiopia is going to be part and parcel of this process," said Dina. "The decision is not made as to sending the army, but per the IGAD council's resolutions of the past months, all IGAD member countries, the African Union and others also will be summoned, will be called, will be expected to somehow contribute something to strengthening the operations in Somalia." Dina said a decision on Ethiopia's role in the offensive would probably be announced at next Friday's summit. Ethiopian troops are regarded unfavorably by many Somalis, who remember them for brutality during a previous incursion from 2006 to 2009, made to support the Somali government. The troops were withdrawn after their presence became an al-Shabab recruiting tool. Dina says conditions are different now. He says this time Ethiopia is part of a broad alliance of countries that recognize al-Shabab as a threat to regional stability. "It's not only Ethiopia that's interested in crushing al-Shabab, it's in the interest of the IGAD countries, the African countries, even the international community to get rid of al-Shabab, which is actually quite a menace to the region," added Dina. Besides controlling large portions of central Somalia, al-Shabab claimed responsibility for a bombing in Uganda's capital last year that killed 76 people. Kenya blames the group for a series of recent cross-border kidnappings of foreigners, an allegation al-Shabab has denied. Two senior United Nations peacekeeping officials were at African Union headquarters this week for a briefing on the Somalia strategy, which includes asking for U.N. authorization to double the size of the African Union peacekeeping mission in Somalia (AMISOM) to 20,000 troops. Diplomats say the plan calls for Kenyan troops to be brought under the AMISOM command, but not Ethiopian troops. AU Peace and Security Director El-Ghassim Wane says U.N. and wider international support is needed to capitalize on the gains made by AMISOM and the Kenyan offensive. "We believe the Kenyan operation is further contributing to weakening al-Shabab and creating space for the political process to take hold and lead to the conclusion of the transition next August... It's a challenging task, and we are fully aware of it, and that's why we are calling for further and enhanced support from the United Nations and the larger international community," said Wane. Uganda and Burundi currently contribute the bulk of the nearly 10,000 AMISOM troops, with tiny Djibouti adding a small contingent. Kenya is said to be ready to contribute several thousand, and AU officials say Sierra Leone is preparing a few battalions that could be ready to join the operation within months. The United Nations, which funds a large portion of AMISOM, and several other countries are said to be ready to provide what are called "force enablers," such as helicopters and other equipment to support the mission.

Abtigiis so what if Gandi is power hungry name one politician oo kursi diidan in Somalia nin walba tiisu u ordaya maxa isaga u didaya oo xaraaan uga dhigaya ma sharif ba dhama oo laba afleyey ilaahoow haa iyo maya mar hanaga wada yeedhsiin. i mean it would make sense if Sharif opposed the Kenyan incursion as the president of the country and not because he opposed Gandis proposed azania state. Still the kenyan invasion is wrong but the problem is there is no government that has the authority to protect Somalia's Sovereignty.

I Wonder if the Ethiopians come in again will sharif flee to Eritrea or will he stay this time

Somalia what does sl id registration got to do with somalia passports being sold in african countries alshabaab na maxa so galiyey meesha iyaguna ma ka ganacsadan basaaboorada somalia

The point is this man is not a qabiliste not even close you should listen to the interview

What about the schools and universities that have been built roads constructed the democratization of the country health system improvements dejure diplomatic recognition from the international Community will not turn Somaliland into Dubai if you thought that was the only aim of Somalilanders the past 20 years you were wrong. Somaliland is independent in every aspect they control their land airspace territory sea it can't be threatened by its neighbors and that's the most important thing to Somalilanders. What about all the factories being build and the economical development in the country what about the good governance in the country what about the tranfer of power after democratic elections what about the self sufficiency in Somaliland . What about the nation building in the 90s, Somaliland is a relatively peaceful Country no one can dispute that sure there are some minor Clashes and riots but the country is peaceful there is law and order there is stability. But you will not see that you will just see Somaliland as dad hurday oo an waxba qabsan 20 sannoh eeh ugu danbeye i am proud of the people of Somaliland. Somalia na wa dal anu walalo nahay kheyr iyo wanaag iyo sharaf baanu u rajeneya ilahay dalkooda nabad iyo kala danbayn haka dhigo oo Ciidamada shisheeye na ilahay haka dul qadan hana is jecladaan and the people of Somaliland did what they could in helping the people of Somalia in the hard times of drought. And that's how it should be umada is tageere idinki ilahay. I wonder if Somaliland didn't declare independence if khadar my dear friend would still despise the achievements of the people of Somaliland.

Knight of wisdom step by step yesterday it was gumeez than yagoori than adhicadeyee than laascaanood than gambadhe Rome was not build ine one day , the wars against the Garowe Clan enclave in sool in 2003 2004 back then the Somaliland national army was facing an army who had their bases in Somalia a neighboring country. This is not the case any more the garowe Clan enclave was removed from large parts of the sool region including the capital. they don't form a threat any more not at all and Faroole said it him self that he does not want war with Somaliland. Knight of wisdom winning a war is very easy with your Military might but winning the peace is another thing Somaliland is doing good so far now winning the peace President Siilanyo is sending the peace proposal to the garaad clan lots of Diplomacy taking place the widhwidh conference this the khatumo conference next month. This is now a Somaliland issue internal issues with in Somaliland and between Somalilanders. There are no external factors any more the last thing the Somaliland government wants is a popular up rise but this is unlikely because of the open Political Contests in Somaliland. And people are given the space to breath now with the ssc party being formed in Hargeysa keyse abdi yusuf defending ssc interest in hargeysa against accusations from the Kulmiye party Chairman. There is a long way to go but we are heading towards the right direction Somaliland in peace and harmony. Wa bilahi tawfiiq.

Soon all the Militia in eastern sanaag will be disarmed there are some Militia men allied to Somaliland national Army in eastern sanaag particularly in Laasqoray and Shimbiraale and in dhahar but hey need to be fully incorporated into the Ciidanka qaranka. How ever they are paid by the Somaliland Ministry of defense but there is a big process under way as we speak.The Hidden general Maxammad Kaahin Axmed is doing lots of work behind the scenes.
