1) "This is absolutely false. The army is within the Ethiopian border. There is no intention to go back," minister and chief government spokesman Bereket Simon told Reuters. --- That line is more disturbing, the Ethiopian official claims that those lands in Hiiraan (Jawiil and isgoyska Kalabeyr) are ''within the Ethiopian border'' and that they have ''no intention to go back''. As for Sh.Shariif, in the current state he can do little like all paper-presidents before him. An effective policy against this naked Ethiopian encrouchment and annexation of lands well into the Republic of Somalia is however to pursue a dual strategy. On one hand , we should fight the Ethiopian penetration of our border-regions. To achieve this end, all armed Islamic and Nationalist factions who are fighting Ethiopian influence in Somalia should position themselves in border area's. They should actually do what they are claiming as a core element in their ideologies: ''fighting Ethiopian invasion of Somalia''. There is no need to spend critical resources on fighting for political power in Somalia and in this process wasting these resources against other Somali factions. So coordination and cooperation between the Islamist/Somali forces who are against Ethiopian annexation is critical, and should be a priority among the genuine factions that care for the interest and security of Somalia. The other side of the dual-strategy should be: slow but crucial internal institutional building for the Somali regions, so that these institutions will protect Somali civilians in the harsh reality of statelessness. Also, by developing the regions and mitigating the effects of statelessness we can clear the bad amongst ourselves, i.e those that Ethiopians employ for their goal of annexation of Somali lands. Without clearing and organizing the rear, there is no need to adopt aggressive, offensive/defensive policies. This internal institutional building for the Somali regions requires careful coordination and cooperation amongst the different segments of society. Without the mobilization of all segments of society and coordinating their efforts towards the goal of internal institutional building there is no way we can clear the rear, and defend ourselves effectively at the front-line. Now, my criticism of the factions in Somalia (Alshabab, ICU, Aweys, Sh.sharif, Mogadishu elders etc) stands strong as long as these different factions spend their resources and energies on eachother while the enemy at the gates sets up his administration well into our lands. Sh.Shariif can do little since he is president on paper, and his paper regime has no teeth. The religious factions too can do little against Ethiopian annexation. They have discredited themselves. They all agree on the need for Islamic Law in Somalia and the fight against Ethiopian encrouchment and influence in Somalia, yet they are desperately focused on each other and if the trend continues will surely waste their resources and energies against each other while Ethiopians set up their taxation administrations well into Somali lands. What they can do however is to cooperate with each other, and adopt something in the form of the dual strategy. Sh.Shariif and his group should wage the political struggle against Ethiopia, Religious factions should wage the military struggle against Ethiopia IN border area's, while civil society, religious leaders, elders, young students etc focus on the crucial but slow process of internal institutional building.

Are people that ignorant and oblivious to this obvious Ethiopian expansion of the border well into Hiiraan, or am I paranoid? A glimse of those newsreports already makes it clear: 1) "This is absolutely false. The army is within the Ethiopian border. There is no intention to go back," minister and chief government spokesman Bereket Simon told Reuters. 2) balse wararka qaar ayaa sheegaya in ciidamada Ethiopia ay gaadiidkaasi u haystaan lacago canshuuro ah oo ay ka waayeen wadayaashii gaadiidkaasi waday. 1+2=? Ethiopian expansion of the border, and their ''taxation'' and coming ''administration'' of these newly annexed Somali lands well into Hiiraan. A look at the historic expansion and annexation of Somali lands by the Abbysinians shows that the current situation is no different then the previous loss of Somali lands to Abbysinians. Now am I paranoid or are most Somali people that ignorant and indifferent to the current annexation of Somali lands well within the borders of Somalia?

Ciidamada Ethiopia oo gaadiid fara badan oo ay ka qafaasheen dad Soomaaliyeed ku heysta deegaanka Kalabeyrka degmada Jawiil ee gobolka Hiiraan. Shabelle: JAWIIL Ciidamada Ethiopia ayaa 5-gaari waxaa ay ka qafaasheen deegaanka Kalabeyra degmada Jawiil ee gobolka Hiiraan ee bartamaha dalka soomaaliya. Tan iyo markii ciidamada Ethiopia ay fariisinka ka dhigteen deegaanka Kalabeyrka degmada Jawiil ee gobolka Hiiraan islamarkaana ay isa soo tarayeen cabashada ka soo yeeraysa gaadiidlayda safarka ah iyo dadka socotada ah ee isticlaa wadadaasi ayaa haatan waxaa soo baxaya warar sheegaya in ciidamada Ethiopian-ka ay qabsadeen ilaa 5-gaari oo ay saarenaayeen shixnado isugu jira raashin iyo shidaal halka kuwana ay ahaayeen kuwa dadweynaha xambaara. Wararka qaar ayaa sheegaya in gaadiidka ay gacanta ku dhigeen ciidamada Ethiopia ay ka yimaadeen magaalada Gaalkacyo iyo degmooyinka gobolka Galgaduud ee bartamaha Soomaaliya iyado aan la ogeyn sababta dhabta ah ee ka dambaysa qabsashada gaadiidkaasi. Gaadiidlay qaar oo la hadlayay idaacada Shabelle ayaa waxaa ay sheegeen in aysan garaneyn ujeedada dhabta ah ee ka dambaysa in ciidamada Ethiopia ay qabsadaan gaadiidkooda,balse wararka qaar ayaa sheegaya in ciidamada Ethiopia ay gaadiidkaasi u haystaan lacago canshuuro ah oo ay ka waayeen wadayaashii gaadiidkaasi waday.

^^ Again, nothing hypocrital about it. Individuals/factions should be judged on their actions. If there actions were good yesterday, and their actions turn bad today, that doesn't mean people should still support them on what they did yesterday. Individuals/factions should be judged continuously on their actions.

So far, the current admin led by Shariif follows the known pattern of those before him. Support to a particular faction only comes after that particular faction advances the interest and security of Mogadishu society and Somalia in general. So far, there is no one faction that has adopted the correct strategy and is prepared to genuinely advance and defend the interest and security of Mogadishu society and Somalia in general.

Mogadishu will not become a Kabul. Mogadishu people will resist both religious extremism and foreign backed regimes. During the last struggles the inhabitants of Mogadishu have become more aware of their common desire for peace and stability and for the common threat arising from religious extremist groups like Alshabab, Aweys faction etc, and from foreign-created and backed regimes like the TFG and the now renewed version of it. Those evils: religious extremism, warlords, self-styled representatives, and foreign-backed paper regimes, all are the product of the environment in Somalia, particularly Southern Somalia. An environment of anarchy, moral decay, lack of common vision and unity, and ofcourse lack of internal instituional building for the interior regions leads to a situation were all self-serving factions that only aspire political power with no genuine consideration for the people's interest prolong the mayhem and prevent any peaceful internal development. Fortunately, Mogadishu society have progressed and learned invaluable lessons during the years of struggle. Ever since 1991, things have cyrstalized in Mogadishu society. To achieve the common desires and defend the common interest and security of the city and its inhabitants, the enivornment needs to be transformed into one that stimulates and supports peacefull internal development of institutions that can help the people cope with the harsh reality of statelessness. Furthermore, to relief the city from overpopulation without the adequate infrastructure needed to support such a large population, it is also extremely important for the peacefull development of interior regions. Those regions where the majority of the current inhabitants of Mogadishu originated from. That is the only road forward for the capital and Somalia, and the only strategy to better prepare the city and nation for the next Ethiopian invasion/occupation and its ugly consequences.

^^ Believe it or not, but they are good sellers. They sell what the people want to hear, and have in their minds already...hence their popularity. So you and I may not take them seriously, but in Mogadishu tens of thousands of people take them seriously. In conclusion, they have a core of truth in their accusations. Religious warlords are something we need to fight in its early phase before they set up their undesired regimes like the previous, secular warlords. In early 1991-1993, nobody thought that popular warlords like Muse Suudi, Cusmaan Caato, Qanyare, M.Dheere would turn into most hated and undesired tyrants. If only Mogadishu society acted quick, they would not end up oppressed and kept in agony for 17 years!

Nothing hypocritical about it sxb. Individuals should be judged on their actions. If there actions were good yesterday, and their actions turn bad today, that doesn't mean people should still support them on what they did yesterday. No, individuals should be judged continuously on their actions. Religious warlords, secular warlords, Ethiopian agents, criminals etc whoever did it should be brought to justice.

Apparently, Horn Africa director was assasinated by groups who were against the major decision concerning organization and unity Mogadishu Free Media has made. Mogadishu Free Media (MFM) had met several times and discussed the problems facing them and society in general. After these discussions and consultations, MFM had decided to distance themselves from the current personality-oriented politics whereby individuals grap their telephone's and declare war or whatever on the radio while hiding somewhere in a rural village or a foreign country. They have decided to behave more professional, and more responsible towards society. The Free Media should not be misused by particular groups and individuals to cause distress and for warmongering purposes. It should be used in the benefit of society, and as such should side by side with the other segments of society work towards the goal of: peace and stability. Whoever murdered the director of Horn of Africa was against that decision and new path MFM have decided to embark on.

This is one of the most progressive step Mogadishu Free Media has taken ever since 1991! After 1991, the Somali people have entered a phase of total freedom from any state coercion, and as such some individuals and groups misused this freedom from any state intervention to cause harm to others and limit their freedom. During the anarchy, the media in Somalia (particularly Mogadishu) have enjoyed a high level of freedom to air everything they liked. As such, many groups entered the business of free media and aired their different voices and goals. Now Mogadishu Free Media has taken the progressive step to organize themselves, take responsibility in society, and have a unified purpose and modus operandi. One of those responsibilities is: serving society and its interest, namely peace and stability. Those who are against the interest of society should get no acces to Mogadishu Free Media.

Libaax, I rather trust known pro-Muqawama websites like halgan.net or shabelle.net then Puntlandpost.com ----- Only radicals can be behind this coward action. And whoever they are, they will be hunted down. We will hear more information in the coming days insha allah

Horn Afrik Radio director assassinated in Mogadishu MOGADIHSU (Sh. M. Network)-The director of Horn Afrik radio in Mogadishu, Said Tahliil Ahmed has been assassinated in Mogadishu by unknown gunmen armed with pistols, witnesses said on Wednesday. The director of Shabelle Radio Mukhtar Mohamed Hirabe has also been slightly injured It is unknown why he was killed, but al-Shabaab officials called the directors of Mogadishu radios for a conference. “We have been called by al-Shabaab officials to attend in a conference they said it is being held in Bakaro market, but as we were walking in the Market with the Shabaab officials I heard the sound of bullets and suddenly saw Said Tahliil Ahmed being killed,” said a radio reporter who did not want his name in print. “I ran away and also heard someone saying shoot that one,” he added. Local radios and televisions had been broadcasting live coverage of the Somali presidential election held in Djibouti, which many Islamist groups rejected. Horn Afrik radio chairman Ali Iman Sharke was killed by a roadside bomb in Mogadishu in 2007, after he had returned the funeral of Capital Voice radio director, Mahad Ahmed Elmi, who was killed on the same day by unknown gunmen in Mogadishu. Shabelle’s radio acting director Bashir Nor Gedi was also killed in 2007 near his home in Mogadishu by unknown gunmen. Shabelle’s radio reporter Hassan Mayow Hassan was the first journalist killed on the first of January 2009.

More newsreports from reliable pro-Muqawama websites are pointing towards Alshabaab. Whoever is responsible should be hunted down, and brought to justice. There should be no mercy for those who want to roll back the freedoms people have been enjoying since 1991. Free media is one of those freedoms which should be defended ruthlessly. --- Illahey ah u naxaristo to the marxuum.

First make a distinction between factions. 1) There is the genuine Ahlu Sunna Wal Jammaca who have been in Somalia for hunderd of years. They are a peacefull group who have spread Islam throughout East Africa. 2) There are the secular warlords who want to take back their fiefdoms from the religious warlords and thus are using the cover of ''Ahlu Sunna Wal Jamaca'' to legitimize their cause, just like the religious warlords have done (using Islamist retorics to take over regions without consultation and support of the people.) The first group have distanced themselves from the second group. Which group are you talking about?

Agaasimaha ayaa inta aan la dilin waxaa la socday agaasimayaasha kale ee idaacadaha Madaxa banaan ee ka howlgala gudaha magaalada Muqdisho kuwaasi oo ay u yeereen Masuuliyiin ka tirsan Ururka Al Shabaab,waxaana saraakiil ka tirsan al Shabaab markii ay ka wadeen agaasimyaashaasi xarumahaooda iyagoo la socda kooxo hubaysan ay toogasho ku dileen agaasimihii idaacada Horn Afrik ee magaalada Muiqdisho Saciid Tahliil Axmed .

Forced demonstrations? People never demonstrated before, not even against the presence of Ethiopians troops and the TFG in the city. Why now?

Since the border between Somalia and Ethiopia is not fixed and the Ethiopians have expanded it slowly throughout the years, we can and will do the same.

Ethiopian troops crossing back into Somalia MOGADISHU (AFP) — Ethiopian troops have crossed the border back into central Somalia, only days after Addis Ababa completed a military pullout from its neighbour, witnesses and officials said Tuesday. An official for the Islamic Courts Union (ICU), the movement of newly-elected Somali President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, said some Ethiopian troops had crossed from the border town of Ferfer to the village of Kalaber. "The Ethiopian forces are violating the basic integrity of Somalia again and they entered the Hiran region only days after their government announced its complete withdrawal from the country," Ahmed Osman Abdalla, ICU commander in the nearby western town of Beledweyn, told AFP by phone. "If they do not pull out of our country, we will fight them to death," he added. Local residents said that Ethiopian forces had set up a checkpoint in Ferfer and were checking trucks and other vehicles crossing the border. Ethiopian soldiers patrol in Mogadishu "They stopped a bus I was on in Ferfer and I could see they were checking all vehicles passing in the area," Osman Adan said. Local elders in Beledweyn also expressed concerns over the return of Ethiopian forces in the region. "The move shows that Ethiopia is still creating insecurity in Somalia because they sent their troops back to Somalia and they are now only 25 kilometres (16 miles) from our town," Beledweyn elder Haji Adan Mohamed said. Ethiopian troops completed their withdrawal from Somalia in January, more than two years after invading to remove the ICU, which had taken control of large parts of the country. Ethiopia propped up a weak transitional government and forced Sheikh Sharif into exile, but after two years of bloodshed in Somalia, more radical Islamist groups have gained influence. Sheikh Sharif was elected Somalia's new president in Djibouti on Saturday and his erstwhile foe, Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi, described his victory as a positive step towards restoring peace in Somalia.

Ethiopia denies re-entering Somalia ADDIS ABABA (Reuters) - Ethiopia denied on Tuesday that its troops had re-entered Somalia to counter the militant Islamist group al Shabaab. "This is absolutely false. The army is within the Ethiopian border. There is no intention to go back," minister and chief government spokesman Bereket Simon told Reuters. He described the version of an Ethiopian incursion, given by locals in the area, as a "wicked" attempt to detract from positive developments in Somalia.

Degmooyin kale oo ka tirsan Gobollada Jubbooyinka iyo Gedo ayaa iyana waxaa laga soo sheegayaa in xoogagga gacanta ku haya oo hoos-taga dhaqdhaqaaqa Al-Shabaab ay qorsheynayaan in ay dhigaan banaanbaxyo ay uga soo horjeedaan Dowladda cusub ee Soomaaliya. Shalay ayay ahayd markii banaanbax looga soo horjeedo Dowladda cusub ee Soomaaliya uu ka dhacay Magaalada Baydhabo oo dhawaan gacan-ku-heynteeda ay la wareegeen xoogagga dhaqdhaqaaqa Al-Shabaab, waxayna culumaa’udiin ka hadlay banaanbaxaas ay sheegeen in aan dalka Soomaaliya lagu xukumi karin wax aan ahayn Shareecada Islaamka.

Abu, I am not as knowledgable in the religion as the two Wadado who have a serious disagreement, while both claim to be using the religion as a base for their arguments. Who should we believe? Hence, why I said do not politicize the religion. Do not mix Somali poltics with our religion, because we will have many wadaado on many sides all engaged in serious disputes. Ofcourse clan aspect will creep in sooner or later.
