War nimankii mujahidiinta ahaa tacsi beyba ii galeen, qarxiska bilaawa dee lol. This move was expected to cleanse the city from it's anarchic scum.

^^ Sheekh Abwaanow, waa adiga oo leh "habar fadhida lagdin la fududaa" ee maad ka qeyb gashid jihaadka oo is qarxisid?

Going back to topic now and leaving you guys girlish talk and petty accusations, it seems as I had right about the coming ethio helicopter attack.

The Sheikh is like the former speaker of parliament Sharif Hassan Sheikh Aden (aka Sharif Lugooye). They talk big and boast their plans and predictions but barely deliver since - drumsticks - their powerless refugees.

^^ That's unfortanetely the sad part about this and also that there are 'cyber jihadists' who believe this is an heroic act in the name of Islam. Wallee dad badan baa ICU movementka ku dhumay, kuwa kalena weli way ku sii il-adagyihiin o ma soo baraarugin.

^^ Cheers.

This is bogus. However your ICU media outlet, Goobjoog, reported that there are 3 ethio military helicopters entering Mogadishu. Let's find out whats next and if the shaqo la'aan shabaab boys can put up a nice fight.

Captain Xalane is right on. What you ppl in this thread, that so far only consists of Clown Courts supporters and secessionists, don't understand is the underlining meaning of using a massive military force to quell different groups in Somalia that want to cut the country besides them and publicly oppose iska-dambayn and nationwide downladnimo. This purpose is to restore national unity and put the basic foundation for a prospective nation in the horn of africa by reconstructing a modern day Somalia. Unfortunately it seems that there are alot of jokers around in the country who also want to create their own little Disney Lands in Somalia. The clan factor is also included but nothing I'll waste my time on elaborating.

AngolaPress [...]Ugandan troops have arrived in Somalia as part of the AU mission to restore peace to the strife-ridden Horn of Africa nation, which has not had a central government since 1991. According the AU peacekeeping mission spokesman, Paddy Ankunda much of Somalia "is now calm with only "pockets of insurgents" in Mogadishu. "We will be getting on the third phase of our mission after setting up our camp for our security and command base, before undertaking patrols and disarmament," he told PANA by telephone on Sunday. Negotiation talks or not the overall message is: Hayeey is ilaaliya yaa shabaab iyo qabiiliste. Waana lii soo socdaa. Article in full

There is an american contractor (DynCorp) that handles almost the same kind of work so this won't have any effect on the day-to-day work of the forces.

Nabadse: "When i dont see GD double pasting here then know something is wrong. I think the game is changing the ethiopians are changing tactics which calls for the divorce of minwayntii Caasho Yusuf and the demise of the clan Gvernment. Qorshihii lawatay waa fashilamy bal aynusugno minyarada lasoo xerayn" Interesting prediction. I'm longing to see the outcome and your future reply to it.

I expect Taliban, abu ansaar and Alle-U-Baahne among others to pay heed to this appeal and enroll as 'mujahids'. How does that sound boys? Ready to go?

The President strolling around peacefully in his town; where are all the ICU clown remnants that cried "A/Y is too scared to come to Mogadishu", "A/Y left Mogadishu in secret", "A/Y is hiding in Baidoa" etc. Just like almost any other propaganda news message from it was fake lies and this press release dismantles them all. I like the idea of the President touring the old damaged historical buildings and assuring ppl they will be rebuilt. A new Somalia is in the making ppl.

Muj. Red Sea, keep your hopes up as that is the only thing you and your associates got left now.

Maya waxay waday wixii laguugu aamusiinlahaa adeer. In a couple of days gudahooda.

^^ Most probably it was empty besides the 11 belarusian men on board when it got hit, as it had just off-loaded it's shipment which consisted of food, medical supplies, tools to repair the previous aircraft and some military weaponry to the AU forces.

This is a shoulder-launched surface-to-air-missile which uses Infrared homing as it's guidance system (heat-seeker). It's without doubt a soviet era stinger from the Strela family. To be more specific it's an 'Igla', a short-range-man-portable air defence missile that commenced development in 1971 and came into service in -81 by the soviet army. I believe that the one feautured in the picture above is of the SA-18 model but it could be an older version of the SA-16. The system has an improved lethality in that it maneuvers to target the fuselage rather than other body parts of the aircraft. It can reach targets from a maximum of 5,2 km. The unit cost for an Igla is $60-80K making it a widely traded weapon in the illegal arms industry. On a personal note I believe it was utterly cowardly to use a stinger on a cargo aircraft. Next time around were gonna see Dallo Airlines go down and someones grandmothers stomach will be be splattered all around the neighbourhood.

Pi, good analysis. That's exactly how the few remaining lunatics are reasoning, hence, they shoul be handled with force only.

Negotiations and peace-talks with dowlad-diids won't lead anywhere. I salute the ugandans who threw out the residens occupiers from the former egyptian embassy, more of that is needed so that the uncivilized lot understands that it can't hold weddings in governmental buildings. As for the few remining lunatics that are now joint jihadist-qabilists (a new world phenomenon) - they should be fully eliminated.

Well said Azmaya.

They tried to make a replica on the -93 "drag-body-around-the-street" stunt. This time though their gonna get hit bad for their actions. In both worlds I may say. Lets look at the thrilling continuation of these battles.

To the gentlemen, Northerner, Dhubad & Kashafa Firstly, please quit the "your-crying-for-amxaaros" talk, it's just a pathetic and childish attempt to steer off from the rational topics and cases that we are discussing in this thread. Since you gentlemen seem unaware of what these discussions could possibly be, let me clarify that it's revolving about the current burning of dead bodies (as it appears from the threads name). Now, having made this clear, I once again encourage you to explain how an islamic jihadist movement that you obviously support could justify the exercise of such barbaric actions as the burning of dead bodies? Please answer and discuss this question without retorting with ad hominem attacks or other semantic gymnastics. Also I would like to adress to Mr Northerner, who accused me of supporting the killing of muslims through the support of TFG and their allies. Mr Northerner, I believe that our definition of genocide against muslims are diametrically different. I don't see a national governmental entity pacifying it's nation from warmongers, anarchists and regional clan organizations disguised as an Islamic movement, as "killers of muslims". I suppose that you are referring to the death of ICU soldiers and their remnants. There's not much to say on the case of the civilians that were killed in the crossfire or in the counter-attacks from the government and their allies either. The causes of their death was mainly that they were letting the insurgents fire mortars from their homes or use them as a base, something that caused the uprising of "Madanis". I would also like to ask you Mr Northerner, if you've heard of or seen any jirdil of the captured ICU soldiers particularly on behalf of the Ethio-troops? Let's look at what Sheikh Ahmed Mohamed Madobe said about this treatment after he was captured ny amxaaros wounded in the fields after the US air strikes: "Madobe said he was treated well by his Ethiopian captors, and called on Somalis to work with the government." source: http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/L06594617.htm So it seems as even the christian amxaaros can treat wounded muslim soldiers better in war than the muslim mujahids can treat wounded somali muslims, never less their dead bodies. Getting all "islamic" will highlighten my shortcomings you say? Hypocrisy at it's finest I must reply. Mr Dhubad, had the most interesting post so far although it was the shortest one. He simply believes that these groups are "freedom fighters" who are trying to uphold freedom from the establishment of the basis for a future sound national government that coming generations could work on to improve. Truly fascinating isn't it; fighting for perpetual anarchy. Only in Somalia ppl, these mindless statements are phrased only in Somalia. To Mr Kashafa[b/], there's not much to say except the previous request to focus more on the topics of the thread and less on inventing supposedly ridiculing nicknames. Also, I oppose your statement that it was the Shacab that did the burning part as it was more likely, as the news reported, that it was the Shabaab. The rest of your post was mostly unsubstantial mockings so I'll pass on it till you can debate more intellectually. Right now you just appear challenged like the groups you support as saddening as that might be. In conclusion, I would like to advise the mentioned gentlemen to skip the semantic gymnastics, the logical fallacies, and the overuse of ad hominem attacks and instead try to defend your assertions and statements with well-founded premises. And don't be shy of answering the questions that arise when ppl get suspicious of the nature of your soldiers and freedom fighters when their veils fall off. There is a somali saying that goes: Kaadi badane waa loo gogol badiyaa. I just hope that you guys don't keep pissing till the earth is empty on mattresses before coming to your full senses.

Northerner, dont focus so much on the "crying/praying" for gaals or whatnot. Focus on the fact that it is so called muslim mujahideens that are burning the bodies of dead people. That's the interesting part here, not the death of the soldiers but the exercise of their killers and their supposed claim of faith. "A group calling itself the Brigades of Tawhid and Jihad in the Land of Somalia claimed responsibility on Tuesday for the mortar attacks. It said in a statement posted on the Web site of Somalia’s routed Islamic movement that it attacked several parts of the capital where ”infidels live.”" http://news.bostonherald.com/international/africa/view.bg?articleid=189869

It's pathetic to see how all the Clown Courts supporters claim just out of empty air choose who they see as an insurgent and who they see as a mere anarchist/random TFG critic. Truth of the matter is that all the current fights are fuelled by the ICU and their remnants. They started it before anyone started to blame them by opening up the arms storages in the city when they fled the scene and it's taking more and more desperate forms for each day that goes. They will be ashes soon as the ppl they now have burned and then they will face their creator to be answered for their so called "jihad".
