saying that continuing air attacks by the Ethiopians in the south were motivated by intelligence reports that one of the three embassy suspects, Abu Talha al-Sudani, a Sudanese, was in the area. This is interesting. If I remember correctly, Col Fartaag had accused this man of leading the foreign forces around Kismaayo and had said he had had gleaned information about him during the Bu'aale clash. Col. Fartaag waxaa uu sheegay in dagaalkii ay la galeen Xoogagga Maxaakiimta ay ka qeybqaateen ciidamo Anjabi oo uu sheegay in ay qaarkood dileen dukumiintiyana ay ka hayaan, wuxuuna si gaar ah u xusay nin uu ku magacaabay Cabdalla Suudaani, kaasi oo sida uu yiri ay caddeymihiisa u soo bandhigi doonaan saxaafadda.

Kenyan court blocks deportation of suspected Somali Islamist financier Thu Jan 11, 8:47 AM ET NAIROBI (AFP) - A Kenyan court has blocked the government from deporting an elderly Somali suspected of financing the country's Islamists defeated by the Ethiopian-backed Somali government. Judge Kihara Kariuki stopped the government Thursday from deporting back to his country wheelchair-bound Abubakar Omar Aden, who was arrested January 6 as he tried to flee Somalia and cross into Kenya's northeastern region. The order will be in force until Monday, when Kenyan Attorney General Amos Wako is expected to appear in court to defend the governments position, Kariuki ruled. Aden's lawyer James Orengo said his client, who is sick, narrowly escaped death when Somali government forces backed by Ethiopian troops seized the capital Mogadishu from the Islamists last month. "The petitioner has throughout his life maintained good and cordial relations with his countrymen and has helped the disadvantaged in the society by saving peoples lives and donating food and money particularly when there was outright civil war in Somalia," his lawyer James Orengo said. Prosecutors told the court that the Kenyan government, which has closed its border with Somalia and deported hundreds of Somali refugees, had made a decision to block Islamists and their allies from entering the country. Kihara ordered that Aden be admitted to hospital. "Based on the reasons given by the petitioners advocate and from the grounds filed herein am persuaded to order that petitioner be admitted to hospital of his choice but should remain under guard until Monday, January 15," the judge said. Aden, a wealthy cleric who controlled the El-Maan natural port in northern Mogadishu, was regarded as the financer of the Islamists who were routed from the capital last month after weeks of clashes. Unlike some others in the Somali Islamist movement, Aden has never been linked to Osama bin Laden's Al-Qaeda network.

A "freeing", that is noteworthy to add, that one has boasted numerously about in the past. Sad a bunch of closet hypocrites today percieve of themselves as defenders of Somalia's sovereignty. Latest fighting in Somalia may set ground for peace By Kieran Murray; Reuters, July 7, 1999, 1999 BAIDOA, Somalia, July 7 (Reuters) - Ethiopia's army has crossed the border to battle its enemies inside Somalia for reasons of pure self-interest but, ironically, it may offer long-suffering Somalis their best chance of peace in years. The deployment of an estimated 3,000 Ethiopian soldiers has quickly changed the balance of power between Somalia's warring clans and put prominent warlord Hussein Aideed on the defensive. That, diplomats hope, could force Aideed and other warlords to drop any ambitions of ruling the country single-handedly and instead cut a deal allowing regional clan leaders significant control over their own territories. But some faction leaders and ordinary Somalis worry the new escalation of fighting could simply spin out of control with other regional states pouring ever more weapons into Somalia. The most dramatic impact of Ethiopia's intervention so far has been in the strategic central city of Baidoa, where its army last month helped a local guerrilla group -- the Rahanwein Resistance Army (RRA) -- launch a huge attack that forced Aideed's forces to flee after almost four years of occupation. The RRA, made up of Digil-Mirifle clansmen, are widely seen as a legitimate force with wide support in Baidoa and across the central breadbasket regions of Bay and Bakool. But they almost certainly could not have seized Baidoa without Ethiopia's help. Source

Jimcaale- Meel aan kugu ogahay aan kuugu imaado adeer. I have noticed the ill-disguised attempts and sense "choosing from the best of both worlds" from you.

Wadaad- Not in Kismaayo adeer, not in Kismaayo. The CIA and the Americans never met face to face with the willing warlords of Mogadishu, but they had met with Barre Hiiraale and he had always declined their offers of even millions. Then he was betrayed. Ayoub- I can't help but be saddened Ethiopia's excuse of coming into Somalia of preventing their own rebel groups from making bases in Somalia has been justified. Maxaa noo dhiman? Etoopia had 16 years to visibly occupy Somalia beyond the border areas but they could never have done so. I feel as much anger towards the reasons that justify to their world their reason for being in Somalia as I feel towards them being there. :mad:

I find it odd that this would be brought back a little after Gedonet's allegation of Oromo, Eretrian, and foreign fighters to have been imported to fight other Somalis has been proven.

Tako, Baidoa.com Yonis, I failed to understand.

This really is the best chance for the bringing back of the Somali state. I hope the trend continues.

Caamir- Eng. Bashir Ahmed Abdulahi known as (Jarato) was named for the administration of Kismayo city Shabelle The ICU did not change the administration of the city so do not allege falsity. Is your concern towards Hiiraale or the clan, because it seems to be toward the clan and Hiiraale is just the scapegoat.

Originally posted by Caamir: Horn/Afrique, your non-malicious, frivolous banter really have no insight of the politics there. When the Islamist ruled, the mayor was none but for a man who is related to the people of Bulo Haji and that is why the Islamist did indeed offer a measure of stability or justice to the rightful owners of Kismayo. During the ICU, the mayor of the city of Kismaayo, the commissioner of the airport, and the head of security in the city (police) were all reer Gedo/Galgaduud. Mayor of the city--Eng Bashiir Ahmed Abdulle Commissioner of the airport--Ahmed Gaarane Head of security--Abdullahi Ajka What do you see about the inescapable reality of the city then, as seen by the same men you said offered stability and justice to the rightful owners of Kismaayo?
