A day after the ICU entered Kismaayo, and the AP writing of "thousands" continuing to protest for the second day. By NASTEEX DAHIR FARAH The Associated Press Tuesday, September 26, 2006 KISMAYO, Somalia -- Women took to the streets of this strategic port town Tuesday to protest the arrival of a radical Islamic militia, one day after the militants opened fire on a larger protest here and killed a teenager. Militiamen quickly broke up Tuesday's protest and arrested 20 women, according to relatives of the demonstrators who didn't want to be named for fear of reprisals. The militants also parked their "technicals" _ trucks mounted with guns _ along roads to prevent gatherings. The group's strict and often severe interpretation of Islam raises memories of Afghanistan's Taliban, and contrasts with the moderate Islam that has dominated Somali culture for centuries. Somalis fleeing the conflict have pushed the number of refugees in neighboring Kenya to the highest level in a decade, the United Nations World Food Program said Tuesday. The number of registered refugees in Kenya has reached 240,000, with thousands more new arrivals, straining resources severely, the U.N. said in a statement. The United States has accused the Islamic group of sheltering suspects in the 1998 al-Qaida bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. Al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden has portrayed Somalia as a battleground in his war on the U.S. Still, some Somalis have embraced the radicals because they have brought a semblance of order in a troubled corner of Africa. The country's official government was formed two years ago with the support of the United Nations, but it has failed to establish any control outside its base in Baidoa, 150 miles from the capital, Mogadishu. The militia has been sweeping through southern Somalia since taking over the capital in June. On Sunday, the militia took Kismayo, 260 miles southwest of Mogadishu, without a fight, although thousands protested their presence the following day. Islamic militiamen wearing white headbands opened fire on the crowd, killing a 13-year-old boy, said resident Abdiqadir Filibin. Two other children were injured, witnesses said on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals. Sporadic gunfire could also be heard. "There are Islamic technicals everywhere in the city," said Abdirahman Abdullahi Farah. "We tell them to go back to Mogadishu or face ejection by force." North of Kismayo, troops from neighboring Ethiopian arrived Monday to support the weak government. Witnesses saw about 300 Ethiopians in a convoy of 50 armored trucks in Bardaale, 40 miles west of Baidoa, the only town held by the government. Islamic forces believe Ethiopian troops aim to cut off their route between Kismayo and Mogadishu, and called their incursion a declaration of war. Several thousand demonstrators protested against the Islamic militia Monday in Kismayo. Militiamen with white bands on their heads opened fire on the protesters. Kismayo resident Abdiqadir Filibin said he saw a 13-year-old killed. Somalia has not had an effective national government since 1991, when warlords overthrew dictator Mohamed Siad Barre and then turned on one another, throwing the country into anarchy. Hassan Turki, a leader of the Islamic militia, acknowledged Monday for the first time that foreign fighters were helping the militants. He was speaking to a demonstration in support of his group in Kismayo. Turki, who is rarely seen in public, is on the U.S. and U.N. lists of suspected terrorists for having alleged ties to al-Qaida. In an interview with the AP on Monday, Somali Prime Minister Ali Mohamed Gedi said "terrorists" dominate the Islamic group. Speaking in neighboring Kenya, he called on the U.N. to partially lift an arms embargo to allow for the deployment of African peacekeepers. The Islamic group opposes any foreign intervention in the country. The Islamic group and Gedi's government have agreed to a cease-fire, but the Islamic fighters have continued to advance across the country. Associated Press writers Salad Duhul in Mogadishu, Mohamed Olad Hassan in Baidoa and Chris Tomlinson in Nairobi contributed to this report. Source: AP, Sept 26, 2006

Clearly, one does not understand the concept of chain of events or the relevance of timespan. But then again, such responses are expected from more resentful corners. They act as if this is the stone age and not the information age. The demonstrations started even before the militia entered the city of Kismaayo and continued as this article written three days after the takeover of Kismaayo is witness. Khat and the importation of khat was banned two weeks after the Courts settled. Look for another excuse.

Somali militia open fire at demonstrators Thursday, September 28, 2006 By Nasteex Dahir Farah The Associated Press Kismayo, Somalia - Islamic fighters opened fire on stone throwing demonstrators in a key Somali seaport on Thursday, in a third day of protests over their seizure of the town. No casualties were reported. Seven women were arrested by the Islamic militia after they joined demonstrations that have erupted in Kismayo, Somalia's third largest town, residents told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals. The stone-throwing crowds chanted that the fighters "are not Muslims" and "use Islam as a cover." The Islamic militia has swept through southern Somalia since taking over the capital in June. Its strict and often severe interpretation of Islam raises the spectre of Afghanistan's ousted Taliban militia, and contrasts with the moderate Islam that has dominated Somali culture for centuries. Some Somalis, though, have welcomed the order the militia have brought after years of anarchic clan rule. In Kismayo on Thursday, demonstrators, most of them women and children, blocked roads with trees and rocks to prevent Islamic militia using their armoured trucks, many of which were flying the black flags associated with Islamic extremism, to break up the protests. Local businesses and markets closed down because of the demonstrations in this town 420km south-west of the capital, Mogadishu. The militiamen, armed with guns and wearing green military fatigues and white headbands, patrolled the streets. Adan Farah Sed told the AP by phone from Kismayo that residents felt threatened by the militiamen. Another resident, Adni Sagaro, said they should "go back to their bases and leave our city alone." The militiamen had opened fire on a similar protest on Monday, a day after they took Kismayo without a fight. Witnesses said a teenager was killed and two others wounded. On Wednesday 300 fighters surrendered their guns and armoured trucks to the Islamic militia and pledged to join their forces. Aden Hashi Ayro, the military chief of the Islamic group in Somalia, accepted the weapons, saying their aim "is to worship Allah and fight for the sake of Islam." Ayro, who according to the UN is a suspected al-Qaeda collaborator who trained in al-Qaeda camps in Afghanistan, said, "Among our militia will be Somalis and foreigners." The United States has accused the Islamic group of sheltering suspects in the 1998 al-Qaeda bombings of US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. Al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden has portrayed Somalia as a battleground in his war on the US. Somalia has not had an effective national government since 1991, when warlords overthrew dictator Mohamed Siad Barre and then turned on one another, throwing the country into anarchy. The Islamic group has stepped into the power vacuum. Source: AP, Sept 28, 2006

Kashafa, Barre Hiiraale miyaad adeer adiguna hal-qabsi ka dhigatay? I have not seen you write an article without mentioning Barre Hiiraale's name in any of your articles. Is Barre Hiiraale in Kismaayo? Has he been in Kismaayo? Have any of the things that occured in that city, starting with the second the Islamic Courts entered it, occurred under Hiiraale? Adeer, fact is the so-called militiamen with red cimaamad were the first group to send Kismaayo back to earlier 90's conditions. Everything that has occurred in Kismaayo since then is a cycle engineered by the heinous crime committed against the people of Kismaayo that disturbed their livelihood. Maybe you don't know Kismaayo or maybe you find it easy to make a case out of the daily diatribe by our shirt-changing charlatons, but this was Kismaayo under the so-called ICU, an unwanted alien entity the people of Kismaayo are glad to have seen the back off. Islam is not a political card adeer for a marauding militia that came out of nowhere.

Cige, you are a breath of fresh air around here.

They are and that is why the ultimatum is directed at Abdullahi Yusuf. If he does not move them, he is showing the world he supports them there and it is he who will take responsibility for their safety and security. Three days.

The TFG is not a homogenous, contiguous group. The group giving the ultimatum is part of the TFG as well as the group the ultimatum is being given to and the group the ultimatum concerns. HornAfrik interview concerning the decision.

They are all stone's throw away from each other, but what matters is that the men were killed and they were killed callously and cowardly. I applaud the group in Kismaayo for cooling their heads and legitimizing whatever action they direct towards that lawless area infested with marauding militiamen. The TFG has been given three days to clear the area, or it will be cleared.

Originally posted by Jabhad: Goormuu Af-Soomaaligi kala fiicnaaday? Clearly you misunderstood Jabhad. LSK did not give preference to any one accent, but both him and Brownie agreed the general quality of the Somali language on the BBC decreased. Accent is one thing, and so is your grasp of the language itself. BBC has become largely irrelevant.

Originally posted by Kashafa: Same situation in Kismayo, Qoryooley, and Qalaafo, where tribal militias have taken over. Regardless of their motives, they are helping in eroding the authority of the TFG as well as giving operating room to the ICU fighters. This is a strategic and tactical gain on our end, on Somalia’s end. Why reject the oppurtunity ? Sorry, "It's not noble" is not good reason enough. ] Whatever your political position maybe, one cannot help but concede that you are a very genuine guy. May alle raise more of you from among us adeer! One thing you need to learn, however, is how to read people and how to read people's opinions. People you might believe are with you, based on their speech, are not necessarily with you and people you believe are against you are not necessarily against you. I won't explain this any more then that, but I am sure you will come to learn in time.

Kismaayo iyo reer Gedo haday xitaa Maskiin-Macruuf dhanka Maxaakiimta u jihaysay waa Alle mahadiis.

Lol @ daadka deyrta, Allamagan warku wuu iska cad yahay yaan filayaa.

Geeel-Jire, Adeer save me hadalka. I don't even know what or whom you are with. I don't pay too much attention to these parts anymore but I remember seeing you praising Abdullahi Yusuf and others on one side and then the other group the other time. Shaydaanka ummada Islaamka qujaynayo ayaan kuu haystaa, wax kale agtaydaba kamaad tihid. As for raga si bareer ah cuqdad ka daada'nayso oo la il daran, oo qabaa'ilo dhan tuugo u wacayo, oo oranaya Sheikh Turki oo laba maalmood Kismaayo joogin ayaa gurya xaaraan meel ka kiciyo oo lagu diidanaa, waxaan ku oranayaa kuwaas iyo waxa la mid ahba waligaa iyo abidkaad iyo daa'inka wajiga soo badala, oo Cabdullahi Yusuf kula colow guluf colaadeed maxuu Kismaayo ugu qaadi la'yahay, Kismaayo barya laguma joogo, hadaad qabsan kartidne qabso hadii kale niicniic meesha lasi fadhi!

Originally posted by Kashafa: The tribal militias and other unsavoury groups can and will be put in their places once Somalia is liberated. But for now, they're fighting our war for us. There is no such resistance and no one is fighting anyone else's cause. Kismaayo's true resistance was against those who wore a red cimaamad on their heads and tribal shirt on their backs! The people of Kismaayo support law and order and bringing back the state with all its institutions intact. I think they have explained that perfectly. No need to put words on their mouth. No such thing as a muqaawama exists young man. Everyone is fighting for their own interests and the majority of the people in Mogadishu, I believe, are fighting for theirs. Not any more noble then anyone else, but understandable yes it can be labeled. Hadalka kala saar. p.s. "Kismaayonews" is the number on leader of false news currently, they have overtaken Godeynews and Qaadiisiya.

***** Biixi knows no boundaries. This is the man who fought with Ethiopia, then signed peace and worked with them, then turned against them to wage guerilla warfare in Gedo then was captured by them and almost put to death, etc. Yusuf and Ghedi will soon be wishing they had kept the more reasonable Hiiraale. Where Hiiraale fights fire with water, Biixi fights fire with fire. Ha laga war sugo.

It's a sign of approval and no doudt this will lead to a disasterious end. Really? And you are from where? Qaw? Afka Boosaaso on the northernmost juncture of Somalia bordering the Red Sea and you would know what the people of Kismaayo are feeling.
