how come u lost gedi and melees pics? looks like u clan blood is at the boiling point!! lool

really a simple q's....check it out why. It sounds strange, but even the highly secular western media now admit that the people of Somalia "yearn" for the return of the Islamic Courts Union, which had ruled some parts of the country, including the capital (Mogadishu), for several months before it was toppled as a result of the US-backed invasion by the Ethiopian army. The admission follows the failure of the so-called transnational federal government (TFG), restored by the invasion and backed by the West and the UN, to introduce even a semblance of peace or law and order since the expulsion of the ICU. Even European diplomats have now openly placed the failure to hold an international peace conference at the feet of the TFG. It was in June of last year that the ICU first drove the warlords masquerading as an ‘interim government' out of Mogadishu, and took possession of most of central and southern Somalia, thereby forcing the retreating warlords to take refuge in Baidoa under Ethiopia's military protection and the political and diplomatic backing of the UN and western governments, particularly the US. It also quickly restored peace, which had eluded the country since the overthrow of the dictator Siyad Barre in 1991, eliminated corrupt practices and enabled the Somalis to lead far more normal lives than before. But that achievement has now disappeared and the old, violent and corrupt order is back with a vengeance. Not surprisingly, "Somalis yearn for Islamic rulers to return and tame the warlords", as a headline in the Independent of London read on June 15. Steve Bloomfield based his article partly on material he had collected in Marere, a rural district in southern Somalia, including interviews with its inhabitants. The article contrasts how the UIC restored peace and tranquillity in the three months it controlled Marere and the neighbouring region of Jilib, with the manner in which the restored traditional government has failed - and continues to fail - in the past six months to manage the region's affairs. It also sets out the opinions of those interviewed, who clearly miss the ICU, while castigating the corrupt practices of the restored transitional government and its failure to take charge or restore peace. According to the article, local people "from teenagers to elders now talk of the brief period of rule by the Islamic courts in wistful tones". The reason is that "for the first time in a generation, there was a level of security in the district that few had believed was possible." To take only one example, "the various clan-based militias which terrorised the region, setting up checkpoints and settling disputes with guns, buried their arms". Before the ICU's assumption of control, there had been nine roadblocks along the route from Marere to Kismayo, a port about 100 miles away. The individual militia groups controlling the roadblocks demanded money from everyone who passed through. According to this article, the roadblocks disappeared when the ICU took control, and "the effect was immediate". Not only did food prices in Marere fall because "traders no longer had to factor in the cost of roadblocks", but the price of travel between Marare and Kismayo also fell from 100,000 shillings to only 30,000. That the Islamic movement made possible a return to normal life, not only in this area but also throughout the country, is not in doubt. Nor is the fact that the transitional government - with the military backing of Ethiopia and the US - has destroyed that achievement, restoring the mayhem that had prevailed before the ICU took over in June last year. Any doubts lingering in the minds of any Somalis was effectively removed by the resurgence of violence, leading to assassination-attempts against members of the government, the imposition of a curfew on Mogadishu on June 23 (which failed to put an end to the gun-fights), and the postponement of reconciliation talks for the second time. The postponement of the talks proved highly embarrassing to the transitional government, as international diplomats, and even a British minister, put the blame for the failure on the government. One diplomat, for instance, said that the international community had been unwilling to support perceived moves by the interim government to use the conference to "entrench the political order". The Financial Times on June 14 quoted him as saying that "We want a conference managed independently of the transitional federal government and one that is fully inclusive. We want an occasion where reconciliation can take place, and a road map for the elections [set for 2008]." The London daily also quoted Lord Triesman, Britain's minister for Africa, who was involved in efforts to hold the talks: "You've either got a peace process in which all of the credible groups get a stake in a future government or you have the continuation of a failed state with all the pre-conditions for a war between clans, sub-clans and other groups." The most "credible group" - if not the only one - is the ICU, whose representatives said earlier that talks could not take place before the departure of Ethiopian troops. The diplomats and Lord Triesman could not make a similar demand because they support the intervention of the US and Ethiopia, and have no wish to see the ICU restored. After all, they all support the coalition forces' aggressive and ruinous presence in Iraq and Afghanistan. In fact, the US role in both countries has destroyed its reputation, as has its war on Islam, not only in the eyes of Somalis but of all Muslims. To implement its war on Islam - feebly disguised a "war against terrorism" - Washington has established prison wards in several African countries, particularly Ethiopia and Kenya, where hundreds of Muslims are held on the pretext that they are terrorists. Claiming that al-Qa'ida ‘terrorists' have infiltrated East Africa, Washington has ordered its troops to bomb "suspected UIC militias" - mostly using its warships and its military units in neighbouring Djibouti and Ethiopia. But while the US has been totally discredited in the eyes of most Somalis more recently, Ethiopia - which occupies large Somali territories, such as the ****** region - has always been seen as an open enemy. Consequently, any Somali groups cooperating with or allied to it are seen as "traitors", while those resisting it are seen as "heroes". This partly explains why the ICU has the enduring respect and support of the people of Somalia. It also explains why the US and Ethiopia do not want it back, and why they had to engage it in the first place. Both Washington and Addis Ababa want a client-regime in Mogadishu that is prepared to back their war on Islam and Muslims, and prepared also to cooperate with them to crush the growing resistance to Ethiopia's occupation of the ****** region. In pursuing their war on the IUC - and indeed Somalia - the US and Ethiopia are encouraged by the indifference shown by Muslim countries, such as Egypt and Saudi Arabia, although Somalia is a member of the Arab League. After all, why should they come to the movement's rescue when Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Jordan are openly holding a conference with Hamas to force it to recognise Israel and leave the running of the Palestinian territories' affairs to Fatah, which recognises Israel and is ready to cooperate with it? Egypt, which is also a member of the African Union and considers itself the most influential Arab country, should have been one of the first states to intervene. But it recognises Israel, allows it to continue its occupation of the Egyptian territories it conquered during the Arab-Israel war of 1967, and is engaged in its own war against the Ikhwan al-Muslimeen (Muslim Brotherhood), the country's largest ‘moderate' Islamic group. Egypt under Mubarak is a client-state of the US and cooperates with its ‘war on terrorism'. But the UIC, a tiny group eager to resurrect a failed state, is prepared to defy the US and Ethiopia, and the people of Somalia are proud of its courage and resilience. source:hiiraan.com

Somalia: UN experts urge action to facilitate food aid deliveries to malnourished Somalis With insecurity, massive displacement and piracy hampering efforts to delivery food aid to Somalis suffering from malnutrition, two independent United Nations experts today urged international action to address the problem, UN reports. Difficulties in delivering life-saving assistance "exacerbate the widespread chronic nutrition crisis that in certain regions of Somalia has reached emergency levels of global acute malnutrition," said the Special Rapporteur on the right to food, Jean Ziegler, and the Independent Expert on the situation of human rights in Somalia, Ghanim Alnajjar, in a statement released in Geneva. They noted that 200,000 Somalis in the Gedo region, many suffering from severe malnutrition, only recently received an aid delivery after awaiting humanitarian assistance for six months. The experts voiced alarm at the difficulties and delays encountered at crossing points on the Kenya-Somalia border, some of which have been closed or operating at a very low level since January. They noted that trucks are now being allowed to cross, and expressed for a permanent solution for humanitarian shipments across the Kenya-Somalia border. "The experts are also disturbed to learn that incidents, including theft of food from beneficiaries particularly from minority groups, continue to occur during and immediately after food distribution," the statement said, blaming hundreds of roadblocks for impeding food delivery and allowing for "abusive taxation by rogue officials and assorted militias. The experts urgently call on the Somali Transitional Federal Government (TFG) to facilitate the transport of food aid, end abusive taxation and ensure security and non-discrimination in the distribution of food aid. They also urged the Government of Kenya to cooperate to facilitate the swift delivery of food assistance, while calling for neighbouring countries as well as the international community to support the TFG in fighting piracy off Somalia's coast.

An unknown militant killed an Ethiopian soldier in ambush attack near the SOS mother and child hospital in north of the Somalia capital Mogadishu, local residents confirmed to Somalinet. Such actions are attributed to members the ousted Islamic Courts Unions. Sources say that a man armed with a pistol approached a group of Ethiopian soldiers standing alongside the road and killed one of them and then threw a hand grenade bomb to escape. “I saw an Ethiopian soldier lay on the ground,” said Bashir Farah a kiosk owner. The attacker escaped unharmed after he hurled a bomb at the Ethiopians. Shortly after the ambush attack, the Ethiopian troops fired in all directions wounding one of the passersby. The Ethiopian soldiers have been target for bombings, suicide and ambush attacks since they drove the Islamic Courts out of the Somalia capital late December last year.

Must read!! wow...shows how ill faithed tfg is!! WASHINGTON -- considering how rapidly Mogadishu is turning into Baghdad, the worst - both for the country and the region - is yet to come. However, there is no disputing that, with each passing day, it is becoming more and more evident that Somalia's Ethiopian occupation is neither paving the road toward a reconciliation, nor forging a way forward. Seven months after disrupting what was widely recognized as a "semblance of peace" that enabled Mogadishu to experience glimpses of normalcy, the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) that rode into the Somali capital on Ethiopian tanks is continuing on its brutal and self-sabotaging path. Nonetheless, Somali Prime Minister Ali Mohammed Gedi will probably remember June 26 - the date of his recent unofficial visit to Washington, DC en route to New York to address the UN Security Council - as the most politically-challenging day of his three-year career. Gedi's visit opened with an off-the-record meeting hosted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). Along with the Somali prime minister, the center had invited a number of academicians, policy researchers, prominent Somali activists, and organizational leaders. At the gathering Gedi was rigorously scrutinized on three specific issues: "security, governance, and reconciliation." He scrambled desperately to provide cogent answers to some of the questions. At several points, he had to rely entirely on his non-Somali spin-doctors who passed him notes. Asked whether or not his government - in light of the renewed violence and chaos - was capable of expanding its power beyond Mogadishu, and if it possessed the capacity and vision to move Somalia out of its current turmoil, Gedi's response was, expectedly, "yes." "It was our strategic position to control the city in a peaceful manner," he noted, leaving many in the audience in a state of disbelief and dismay by adding: "We have succeeded in bringing peace to the city with the support of the Ethiopian government." When asked how Ethiopia could play a part in resolving the crisis, considering its lingering political animosity and suspicion in relation to Somalia, Gedi answered that while it was: "true that there was a [hostile] history between Somalia and Ethiopia ... that history has changed, and that is the perception of the Somali people." Gedi was also challenged on the corruption rife in his "warlord-infested government" and how these militia chiefs - such as Abdi Awale Qaybdiid, with a 17-year record of killing, displacing, and starving countless Somalis, who allegedly led the fighting resulting in the deaths of 18 US Rangers and more than 1,000 Somalis, as depicted in the film Black Hawk Down - could ever be part of the solution. Additionally, he was questioned about Mohammed Dheere, a particularly brutal warlord and close relative of Gedi's, who vacated his parliament seat to enable Gedi - who was never elected via clan representation - to become prime minister, in return for Dheere being appointed mayor of Mogadishu, responsible for restoring peace and order there. Brushing off such queries, Gedi told the CSIS gathering that only time would tell if the TFG had become a warlord-infested government. Naturally, he did not remind the audience of a statement he had made when he appointed the ruthless Dheere Mogadish mayor that: "This is not the time for soft, reflective consensus builders ... We need strong leaders who can implement their programs. Mohammed Dheere is the right man at the right time." Indeed, the mayor of Mogadishu has his own private militia to implement his program. But perhaps the question that politically cornered Gedi the most, lending a human face to what has become a routine abuse of power, was the one raised by one of the Somali activists present at the CSIS meeting. "Mr. prime minister, since the Ethiopian invasion, Somalis have suffered; young men, businessmen, and the leaders of the civil society [have become] a daily target. People were, and still are, being taken out of their homes in the dead of the night. NGO [non-governmental organization] officers are being detained and their basic rights violated. "A member of our organization is currently in Somalia and has, sadly, detailed to us the violation of your personal security forces that invaded their NGO and took everything that was movable. You know these people as they are your neighbors. My question is: when will these violent efforts of silencing the civil society [organizations] end?" In response, Gedi resorted to his routine equivocation and baseless accusations claiming that "some of these NGOs had thousands of tons of weapons which we found, and that should not be." He failed to point out that no one has since been charged or convicted on such grounds. Later that same day, a coalition of 11 diaspora-based Somali groups organized a rally outside the US State Department, marking the first time since the bloody fratricide that such a body, transcending Somalia's clan and regional divisions, had been formed. Six coalition delegates later met with US Deputy Assistant Secretary for African Affairs James Swan, expressing their concerns regarding Somalia's Ethiopian occupation, the recent massacre and continued brutality in Mogadishu, the violation of the system of checks and balances that had led to the unconstitutional termination of the "free parliamentarians" (opposition members of parliament), the humanitarian and human rights abuses, and the "extraordinary renditions" taking place in Somalia that had been condemned by the human rights group Amnesty International. The coalition delegates stressed that genuine peace and reconciliation in Somalia hinged upon resolving these problems - something they said they would reiterate in an official letter to the UN secretary-general and members of the Security Council.
