when this is on front page at msn.com, then u know something big is taking place..!! Two soldiers, two civilians killed in Somalia Government struggles to contain insurgency in Mogadishu Years of chaos Violence and deprivation plague Somalia after the nation begins its descent into madness in 1991. Updated: 8:04 a.m. PT July 29, 2007 MOGADISHU, Somalia - Gun battles and grenade attacks killed two soldiers and two civilians on Sunday in Mogadishu, where the government is struggling to contain a violent insurgency, witnesses said. Men with pistols ambushed the government soldiers while they patrolled a market. "Three masked men shot the soldiers at close range and escaped in the melee of gunfire from other troops nearby," said Harun Omar Mohamed, a shop owner who witnessed the battle. He said two civilians were wounded. Gunmen lobbed four hand grenades into another market, Bakara, which until recently housed the city's notorious open-air arms dealership. Two civilians were killed, said Muse Haji Aden, a store keeper in the market. Mogadishu has seen little peace since Ethiopian troops supporting Somalia's fragile government drove out a radical Islamic group in December. Roadside bombs, attacks on government installations, assassination attempts and gunbattles have become common. Civilians often are caught in the crossfire. Insurgents linked to the Islamic movement have vowed to carry out an Iraq-style guerrilla war until the country becomes an Islamic state. Hundreds of thousands of people have fled the violence in the capital. The government was formed in 2004 with the help of the United Nations, but has struggled to assert any real control. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20022365/

This piece is just a response to an article entitled "The Naked Hypocrisy of TFG Bashers," which was published in mid June this year. Of course, there are TFG bashers, and any Somali patriot has to countervail the TFG, but I am not sure if a patriot person is hypocrite for just his bash against the group of traitors called TFG. The question that we need to ask before we criticize the TFG bashers is, why do they bash the TFG? Well, the main reasons that the Diaspora community has been demonstrating against the TFG was the Ethiopian occupation on their country. On the other hand, the main cause of the suicide attempts that we, unfortunately, hear from the insurgency groups is the invasion of the Ethiopian forces in Somalia. In addition, this TFG and the Ethiopian forces have slaughtered the Mogadishu based civilians, demolished their houses and forced them to live under trees. And most recently, this TFG, and the Ethiopian mercenaries have illegally dared to confiscate the house of former President, Dr. Abdiqasim Salad Hassan. In short, these are the main reasons that we have TFG bashers, but let's go in detail on each one of these reasons that stimulate all the anger against the so-called TFG. As Somalis recently celebrated for the forty seven anniversary of their independence from the European colonizers, the sovereignty of the country once again was jeopardized by the TFG. This was the greatest conspiracy that the TFG has committed against "its" people and "country", and created its rivals, or bashers, if you will. After Ethiopians occupied Somalia, TFG itself divided into two groups: One supporting the invasion, which is a plain treason against Somalia, and another group, which is led by the Speaker, Sharif Hassan. This is the group that clearly opposed the illegal invasion of Somalia and demanded an unconditional withdrawal of the Ethiopian forces from Somalia. The visionary leader from the ICU, Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, has joined this group as the group eventually settled in Asmara, the capital city of Eritrea. However, since the invasion began, what we know is that there is a group of insurgents from the remnants of ICU and nationalist individuals who are fighting against the illegal invasion of Ethiopians on Somalia. The slaughtering of Mogadishu civilians is another conspiracy that pushes people to bash the TFG. The recent war between the invaders and insurgent groups was described as the worst fight ever happened in Somalia after the ousting of the Barre regime in 1991. In this war, civilians were targeted, health care facilities were bombarded, houses were demolished and properties were looted by the so-called TFG soldiers. Moreover, the civilian casualties of the indiscriminated war on Mogadishu were estimated four hundred. However, the Ethiopians and their followers in Somalia tried to undermine their war crimes against Mogadishu population, but Human Rights groups declared that war crimes were committed in Somalia. If that is what happened to the hopeless Somalis in Mogadishu, any support of those crimes is really an act of treason against Somalia. Dr. Abdiqasim has recently become another target for the occupiers and the so-called TFG. This was the same mistake that some militias from the ICU committed against Ali Mahdi before they were kicked out by the Ethiopian forces at the end of 2006. However, as a former Somali president, Dr, Abdiqasim should have been respected, but unfortunately, his home was confiscated, as some of his personal properties are still missing even though there was an apology from the so-called TFG. This act of mistreating a former president does not only hurt Mr. Salad Hassan, but it is an act of demeaning of any Somali individual. This illegal confiscating has given Mr. Salad the courage of speaking up against the occupiers and its agents as he is now part of those who demand the withdrawal of the Ethiopian forces from Somalia. These are some of the reasons why we have TFG bashers, and they may have a solid point for their bash against the so-called TFG. For instance, the attitudes of those who loathe the TFG may be changed if their concerns are met. One of the main concerns that they have is the occupation of the Ethiopians on Somalia. The foreign interference of the issues of Somalia was the main cause of the chaos of the last seventeen years. Moreover, Ethiopia was the main source for the warlords, who are now "leading" the country, in order to keep their fighting and hostility against each other. In fact, that was the game that Ethiopia has been playing for the last seventeen years in order to reach its regional goals as it's now the only ruler of Somalia. Therefore, as long as the Ethiopian occupation on Somalia continues, hatred and bash against the so-called TFG will continue! As long as there is a civilian slaughtering, there will be TFG bashers. As long as this TFG imitates the Ethiopian regime of Addis Ababa to silence the opposition figures and media, there will be TFG bashers! As long as there is an illegal confiscating of private houses, there will be TFG bashers! alldalka.com

Somali Islamists declare victory, prepare to take over Mogadishu MOGADISHU. SOMALI Islamists declared victory over a US-backed warlord alliance and prepared to take over Mogadishu after four months of bloody fighting for control of the lawless capital. Having captured nearly all of Mogadishu and a key warlord supply line on its northern outskirts at the weekend, the Islamists said elders were formalising the seizure in a meeting with remnants of the alliance. In a statement read over local radio stations, the chairman of the city’s Joint Islamic Courts, Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, said 15 years of warlord control of Mogadishu was over and urged residents to accept the new leadership. "The Joint Islamic Courts are not interested in a continuation of hostilities and will fully implement peace and security after the change has been made by the victory of the people with the support of Allah," he said. "The JIC will take care of the safety of the people and freedom of individuals and will eradicate any sort of hostilities brought about by inter-clan fighting," Ahmed said. At least 347 people have been killed and more than 1 500 wounded, many of them civilians, in fierce battles between the Islamists and the Alliance for the Restoration of Peace and Counter-Terrorism (ARPCT) since February. The alliance was created that month with US support in a bid to curb the growing influence of Mogadishu’s 11 Islamic courts and hunt down extremists, including Al-Qaeda members they are accused of harbouring. The courts, which have repeatedly denied the charges, had declared a holy war against the ARCPT and denounced its funding by the United States, which clerics assailed as an "enemy of Islam." Washington never publicly confirmed or denied its support for the alliance but US officials had said that they had given the warlords money and intelligence help to rein in "creeping Talibanisation" in Somalia. — AFP.

Somalia: Hollow quest for peace July 24th, 2007 As the interim government seeks to ignore its main rivals and the main issues at what will prove a less than historic reconciliation conference, violence is on the rise again in Mogadishu and patience is wearing thin. With the Somali National Reconciliation Conference in session for the fifth day despite delays, boycotts and mortar attacks, no one seems to agree on what the conference is actually supposed to addressed, let alone who is supposed to participate. In the end, aside from the fact that it is the first of 15 such conferences to be held in Somalia itself, failure seems imminent. Since 1991, when warlords ousted dictator Siad Barre, violence and anarchy have been the rule of the day. The UN-recognized interim government has been weak from the onset, losing power to the Islamic Courts Union (ICU) for a six-month period this year and fleeing the capital. With the help of US-backed warlords and Ethiopian troops, the interim government regained control late last year, but that control is not solidified and some of the worst violence has taken place since. The Somali transitional government called the talks under pressure from the international community, particularly the US and the EU, after senior government officials repeatedly refused to acknowledge any need for further reconciliation in the country. The interim government maintains that the on-going conference in the restive Somali capital of Mogadishu will resolve clan differences among Somalis who it says have been fighting clan wars for the past decade and a half. However, while clan rivalries do pose a problem, peace will depend on a power-sharing agreement among all parties, and with the interim government’s plan to ignore its main rivals, the ICU and the Independent Parliamentarians now in exile in Eritrea, Ethiopia’s main nemesis, no progress can be forthcoming. The interim government’s intentions are clear. When it invited clan elders to the conference, it was under the name of the “Somali Clans Reconciliation Conference,” rather than a National Reconciliation Conference, as the media and the outside world refer to the peace talks. “We know how we fought one another,” said Ali Mahdi Mohamed, the government-appointed chairman of the reconciliation committee and a former warlord, in a recent interview with local radio, “we need to let Somali clans forgive and forget.” Mahdi ruled out any discussion of politics or power sharing among the government and its rivals. The latter group includes the Islamists and other opposition groups such as the leading ****** clan and the deposed Somali Parliamentarians, the so-called Independent Parliamentarians who are now based in the Eritrean capital of Asmara, along with the ICU. The ****** clan is the largest and most dominant of the Somali clans. Their elders’ prominence as a political voice for their community came when they rejected Ethiopia’s invasion into their country and its backing of Somali President Abdullahi Yusuf, who is from the ****** clan. The elders claim that the current government does not represent them, even though the prime minister and more than sixty members of the interim parliament hail from ******. The elders say that these members have been rendered into political figureheads by the presence of Ethiopian troops who, they allege, are friendly with Yusuf. These major stakeholders have boycotted the conference from the start claiming the talks are designed to give legitimacy to what they called the “Ethiopian occupation” of Somalia. As a precondition for their participation, they have unanimously demanded that Ethiopian troops currently operating in the country be withdrawn. However, they have not been able to reach a consensus on whether African Union (AU) peacekeepers now deployed under UN mandate should remain. The Islamists and the Independent Parliamentarians together with ****** clan elders say the conference should be held in a neutral venue and participants should discuss all issues including politics and power sharing. The groups say the Somali problem is political rather than clan-related, despite what the interim government would have others believe. The US, the EU and the UN for their part seem to be working at cross purposes with the interim government, which they all back. They have called for the Somali government to make the conference as inclusive as possible, urging it to allow broader discussion of all kinds of national issues. In a 20 July statement, US Department of State deputy spokesman Tom Casey said: “We are encouraged by the remarks from [interim] President Abdullahi Yusuf stating that the Congress will address key political issues, such as power sharing and transitional tasks mandated by the Transitional Federal Charter, and that the Transitional Federal Government will implement the outcomes of the Congress.” “The United States calls on the National Governance and Reconciliation Committee and the Transitional Federal Government to create an environment in which all relevant stakeholders can participate in the Congress and contribute to a lasting political solution in Somalia,” the statement continued. The statement also “urges all Somali stakeholders to participate constructively in the Congress and use this opportunity to establish a roadmap for the remainder of the transitional process leading to elections in 2009.” But the statement does not reflect the reality. What all parties need to understand is that the current conference is making no progress - indeed, no progress seems to be the intention - and violence in the capital is on the rise. After decades of anarchy and bloody chaos, the Somali people are running out of patience and losing faith in the process, which is heading toward yet another failure, with political maturity and a willingness to compromise absent on all sides. source: http://free-somalia.org/?p=184#more-184
