In an anti-guerilla war conducted in the country's ****** region, "Ethiopian troops are burning villages, raping women and killing civilians as part of a systematic campaign to drive them from their homes." Refugees say dozens of villages have been destroyed and have "accused the Ethiopian government of forcibly starving its own people by preventing food convoys reaching villages and destroying crops and livestock."* "A former Ethiopian soldier who defected from the army said how he had been ordered to burn villages and kill all their inhabitants. He said the Ethiopian air force would bomb a village before a unit of ground troops followed, firing indiscriminately at civilians. 'Men, women, children - we killed them all,' he said." The little-known conflict in ****** parallels the more widely known war in Darfur. The conflict began when rebels killed scores of Ethiopian guards and Chinese employees at a Chinese-run oil field. The government replied with a harsh crackdown. "Human rights investigators are gathering evidence of widespread use of rape, with women reporting gang-rapes by up to a dozen soldiers. In some villages, men have been abducted at night, their bodies dumped in the village the next morning. "While in Darfur, aid agencies have been able to establish camps and provide humanitarian support, they have been blocked from setting up operations in the ******. The International Committee of the Red Cross has been thrown out and Medicins Sans Frontieres has also been prevented from working. Journalists trying to enter have also been banned - those that have tried have been promptly arrested." But while neutral leftists have worked themselves into a state of high moral dudgeon over Sudan's counter-insurgency in Darfur, which "has been described by the US as 'genocide' and by the UN as 'crimes against humanity'", they have been virtually silent on Ethiopia, a recipient of US and British military and humanitarian aid. "America's top official on African affairs, assistant secretary of state, Jendayi Frazer, visited one town in the ****** last month. "On her return to Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa, she criticized the rebels and said the reports of military abuses were merely allegations. 'We urge any and every government to respect human rights and to try to avoid civilian casualties but that's difficult in dealing with an insurgency,' she said." The West's official enemies are never allowed the same latitude in dealing with their own (often US and British financed and instigated) insurgencies - a double standard backed by neutral leftists through their voluble condemnations of the anti-insurgency efforts of official enemies and comparative silence on those of Western client states. "The US provides some $283m (£140m) in military and humanitarian aid to Ethiopia and has trained its military - one of the largest and strongest in Africa."

This is the fate our fathers chose for us...to suck the blood of the innocent and then if the innocent chidren resist to stay alive finish them off by sending goons like Mohamed Dheere iyo Qabydiid and geedo and vampire YEEY to snatch it all away...alow dadkaaga adaa u maqan...

Tigre boys r still dyin in Muqdisho but unlike my pple they do have an objective, a cause they believe is worth for dyin...

To punctuate your thought right, I have found this related poem...recited by the Sayid Mohamed Abdille Hassan himself in Ayl in 1905... Ikhyaarkooda nimankii kufriga, ugu abraaraayey Aan lagu igraahine kalgacal, ugu abraarayey Kuwii ubad nasaaraad noqdee, ferenji aanaystay Nimankii amxaara u kacee, Adarinuu guurey Oo Aw-Cabaas diley, dadkaan eedi kala gaarin Oo uunka kala fiijiyee, kala irdheysiiyey Nimankii amxaara u kacee, adarinuu guurey Oo Mililikh aabe u yehee, u arrin qaadaayo Oo xabashi eegi u noqdee, u ololaynaayey Utuntayda waa heli haddaan,iilka lay dhigine Araraha intaan maranhayey, igu arkaayane Maruun baan sidii aar libaax, oodda soo jebinne Halka ka Akhriso gabaydhan oo dhan

Listen to this minion, this phony, fake *******, subordinate SOB who thinks the blood of the innocent mothers and children is acceptable, trying to justify the killing fields of Somalia, unforgivably struggling to excuse the horrors these stooges are committing everyday on innocent families...what a shameless prick..

Positioning, shifting and aligning with your party....Before the big storm arrives... A war is immenint...The Tigrinyan masters want it so badly, Yalahow and Qanyare need it like an spicy Mexican Burrito and Geedo Fanaxleey Cassho firs-timer wants to see what war feels and looks like....its on the menu and the only popular choice...in Southren Somalia allahow Sahal

Originally posted by Caamir: There is a mediation going on between the two leaders and It will be resolved. This is just a minor issue compared to the carefully planed assasinations of elected mayors and district commissioners by the tribal-based insurgents despite the genuine efforts of the international community to return peace and security in Somalia. A poison is a poison no matter how much they delute it...when will these Somalis see this thuggisness, the viciousness going on in Somalia and the occupation of a whole nation, Waraabanimada taking place inside Somalia and within Somalis as nothing else but purely that.... Elected mayors kulahaa? War dadkan Somalida maxaa kasi ah?

The crumbling stooges and their evil plots are becoming a thing of the past...the vacuum they'll leave behind will be filled but the question of their fate still remains murky... As Kashafa said A-Pol this has been the modus operandi of the stooge vampires for years now...using horror, terror and brutality to access and suck the blood of the Somali mothers. La arkeenoo thou

Soon the headlines will appear...in big bold letters, dangling sideways like the holloween signs erected in my neighbors front yard...the dreadful headlines will painfully reveal the truth that many have foreseen and beyond those spooky headlines some will only read and see the end of what was left of our country, the final chapter of Somalia..writen, read and closed.... And these stooges have never even read the script of the show they've played the biggest part

Muuse Suudi finally breaks his silence and says that Yeey's true identity as A vampire has finally been exposed... Suorce

No news coming out of Somalia overwhelms me as much that which comes out of Somali galbeed. The above snippets of information send shivers down ones spine. Apart from medieval times, no other people have had to endure what our fellow Somalis are enduring in Somali galbeed. Even the brutality of the Russians in Chechnya pales in comparison. For the dead poor Somalis women, for the raped and abused mothers, for the kids and toddlers killed and maimed...For Somali Galbeed...Eeboow dhibtaa kasaar!!!!

This is what they'r securing.....themselves Misled and misinformed kids; in the middle of million people; hostile and armed millions who can't stand tigre and tigree raac....intaa kabaxaa meel allah aan maqli jiray

Ciid Wanaagsan to all those mothers on the run for their lives, to all those kids robbed from their moments and days of happinness, to the poor parents who have been displaced by the Tigrinyan tanks.... CIID WANAAGSAN

The power struggle between the goon and the pink Lady Geedo is getting real each day and the people of the world and poor Somali kids and women await in the wings for the pending disaster to present itself any day... Yeey the vampire went to Baydhabo to shore up support from his clan base and in the meantime Gedo Fanaxleey had a closed door session with the clan warlords and Mohamed Dheere in a move many said is meant to kick the Pig Stooge out of Ocuppied Hamar for good... This is surely going to lead to an armed conflict...we will witness more Somali women and kids killed, private and public property looting and more inter-clan fighting...We will surely see soon where the chips will fall...May the almighty protect the poor and the weak

President Yusuf loses his grip on POWER Rudy this so far is the most ridiculous topic title ever in SOL....President? Grip? Power? in that order and Yeeys name appearing in between words...what's it?

Man accidentally divorces wife in sleep Village elders ordered a Muslim man in eastern India to leave his wife after he accidentally divorced her in his sleep, a news report said Tuesday. Aftab Ansari uttered the Urdu word for divorce, "talaq," three times in his sleep, prompting his worried wife to discuss the matter with her friends, according to the Press Trust of India news agency. Under Islamic law, a husband need only say "I divorce you" three times to secure a permanent end to his marriage. Muslim leaders in the couple's village in West Bengal state found out and decreed that Ansari's unconscious utterances constituted a divorce, PTI reported. But 30-year-old Ansari said he had no intention of leaving his wife of 11 years. "I have not given talaq. When I uttered talaq three times I had taken medicines to help me sleep," he was quoted as saying in the report. The religious leaders said that before remarrying, the couple would have to be apart for at least 100 days and that the wife, Sohela, would also have to spend a night with another man and then be divorced by him. PTI reported that the couple has been ostracized because of their refusal to abide by the decision of the village leaders.

But appearance is one thing, reality another. Far from leading to a national triumph, Ethiopia’s reckless plunge into the Somalia quagmire may well turn out to be a catastrophic blunder on the part of the “Empire of Rags,” and may even cost the wily—and slight-of-build-- Mr. Zenawi dearly. Ethiopia’s excursion into the Somali bush lands surely entails untold dangers for the highland Abyssinian state. If Ethiopia gets bogged down in the Somali sand dunes, as she is likely to do, this will signal the breaking of the Somali run of back luck with respect to Ethiopia that has plagued the “pastoral” Somalis since recorded times. Given the traditional hostility between Muslim Somalia and Christian-ruled Ethiopia, the Somalis will, undoubtedly, turn against the Ethiopian presence in their land. A massive insurgency both against Ethiopia and “its fledgling client, the TFG,” is already under way.

Your objections would be valid if they were appointed in a peace-time setting, but we're at war, brother. The theatre of war is now centered in Mogadisho and hence, everything that is conducive to that effort will be done. Including appointing Aideed and Idacadde to positions of leadership. Gotta think long and large. Not short and shallow. It really amuses me to the core when I see US gripped, literally engrossed in minor stuff that has nothing to do with the bigger and the vital and the central issue of the current struggle which of course means to me nothing else but standing in the way of the occupation no matter how…with what and whom. It’s all indhocade this or indhacase that…has anyone asked himself where he has been for the past 7 months? Ever get curious of why he was selected for that post in absentia? Where the hell has he been in 7 months? What was the circumstances surrounding his selection? These are the right questions to ask, to be curious about if one is really genuinely is concerned about the Darwiishes ‘reputation’ unless otherwise one is of course out there with the Dukes of this world itching for an exit, and a change of heart for the Tigrinyan boys in Hamar.. Thanks Kashafa, I could never have explained it better...

Look at the smile on her face. She couldn't b happeir that now she knows that her kids will eat tonite. While looting the private properties of the public is going on a larger scale these women, who have been forcefully driven away from their homes, have to resort to handouts from the UN... Eid Mubarak to u all..
