It really does injustice to the thousands of the Somalis men and women from everywhere in the greater Somalia...Puntland, Somaliland, yes Sland too, oggeadinia and NFD, and even as far as in jibuuti who by realizing the invasion of the Tigre army as nothing else but that joined their brethrens in the battlefield of Bandiirley and diinsoor and Baydhabo and elsewhere...to dishonestly say that they were brainwashed, influenced and misled by Indhacade....a man who many of those heroes had no idea who he was or never heard of his reputation and name before but who stood for principle before anything else and understood the inner intentions of what thousands upon thousands of Tigre dirties would b doing inside Hamar if they went unchallenged moved from all over Somalia to the frontlines to protect and serve...the homeland They were and still are responding to a fine principle which always gets lost and overpowered by false slogans and Qabiill platitudes...in this forum...

See if you think those who died for what they believed in; for defending their homeland to be less than noble.....then we are on two different galaxies so until you either move up here where I live with the NORMAL thinking human beings or until I, god forbid thou, happen to b so far removed from the truth and the reality in our midst and insanely move my radar to your side of logic until either one of that happens Mr. JUMJO you can always absolutely ignore my thoughts…lol.. In all seriousness brother JUJE those who died in Somalia shielding and protecting their homes from an external threat happen to be in my book noble, gracious, and honorable men…and women…and May they ALL THOSE BRAVE SOMALIS WHO NEED NOBODY’S GLORIFICATION rest in peace..

Please don't smear, don't belittle, don't slander and don't make harmful and untrue statements about the good name of the soldiers who lost thier lives while defending honor, justice, morality and nobility in their OWN country againts the Tigrinyan aggression...by saying they were sent to their death by Indhacade...They died,those noble Somali men, for what they believed in...a concept that seems totally alien to some SOL members Those who died in Hamar, in Bandiiradley and in else where Somalia, defending their towns and homes from an invading Tigrinyan tanks were the least bit influenced by Indhacade but they have unquestionably been impacted by the bigger and better cause and principle of being Patriots first and foremost..May the Almighty have His mercy on them

US gives 'strategically important' Ethiopia $97 million Friday, September 21, 2007 ADDIS ABABA (AFP) — The United States said Friday it is donating 97 million dollars (69 million euros) to Ethiopia in recognition of the Horn of Africa country's "strategic importance." The money, channeled through USAID, is to fund agricultural and private sector development, health care, primary education and good governance, a statement said. Ethiopia received US backing last year when it deployed troops to neighbouring Somalia to overthrow an Islamist movement accused of harbouring extremist elements. USAID mission director Glenn Anders said: "The agreements ... fulfill and even exceed the commitments in our five-year strategic development plan ..."

Six killed in Somalia violence 9 hours ago MOGADISHU (AFP) — Six people, including four soldiers, were killed in Mogadishu as violence raged between Somali government forces and an Islamist-led insurgency, witnesses and security sources said Monday. Fighting erupted late Sunday when around 50 insurgents attacked government forces with heavy weapons, according to witnesses. "We have lost three government soldiers including Nur Warsame Hirey, the commander of the unit that was attacked last night near Barakat Cemetery," a military commander told AFP on condition of anonymity. The body of a fourth soldier was found near the scene of the fighting early Monday, said witness Husein Mohamed Osman. Gunmen also shot dead two local officials in northern Mogadishu on Monday, said Abdukadir Nur Barre, a local grocer who witnessed the incident. Last week, a newly formed Islamist-dominated alliance said its forces had launched an offensive against Ethiopian troops who helped the government topple an Islamist movement that briefly controlled much of Somalia. Since the movement was defeated in January, its remnants have carried out near-daily guerrilla attacks mainly in the capital. Somalia has lacked an effective government since the 1991 ouster of dictator Mohamed Siad Barre touched off a deadly clan-based power struggle that has defied numerous efforts to restore stability.

Somalia's opposition group appoints Islamist warlord for defense 24 Sep 24, 2007 - 12:34:17 PM ASMARA, Eritrea Sep 24 (Garowe Online) - A former defense secretary under the Islamic Courts movement ousted from southern Somalia late last year by allied Somali and Ethiopian troops has been named to a top post in a newly formed opposition alliance, sources said. Yusuf "Indha Ade" Mohamed Siad was appointed to the defense post of the Alliance for the Re-liberation of Somalia (ARS), a loose coalition of opposition groups including Islamists, deposed lawmakers and Diaspora activists. The ARS was established earlier this month after opposition figures concluded a conference in the Eritrean capital Asmara. ARS leaders have vowed to use all means to expel Ethiopian "invaders" from Somalia. It is not clear whether or not Indha Ade is in Asmara to accept the post. Many people remember Indha Ade for his fiery rhetoric and his repeated calls for "jihad" against Ethiopian troops, leading up to war last December whereby Islamist militias were forced to scatter. Residents in Lower Shabelle region remember Indha Ade as a brutal warlord who used clan militias to impose his rule upon the unarmed population of the region, long before he allied himself with the Islamists. Another senior Islamic Courts official, Abdirahman Janakow, was named as secretary-general of the ARS. Janakow was the Islamists' deputy executive officer when they ruled Mogadishu and much of south-central Somalia in 2006. Hussein Aideed, a former deputy Prime Minister and interior minister, was named as second-in-command of the ARS central committee, a 191-seat legislative body chaired by former parliament Speaker Sharif Hassan. Other notables named to top posts include Jama Mohamed Ghalib and Mohamed Ahmed Tarsan. Qalib, a former government official in the bygone Siad Barre era, was named as deputy to ARS chief executive Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed. Tarsan, a Diaspora activist closely associated with the Islamist leadership, was appointed as the group's planning secretary. Col. Omar Hashi, a close ally of Sharif Hassan and a deposed MP, was named as the alliance's interior secretary while Yusuf "Dheeg" Hassan is to hold the much contested foreign affairs portolio. Confidential sources privately told Garowe Online that Dheeg was being promoted in Asmara for the foreign affairs post by Islamist leaders. It is not clear exactly what the government-like ARS plans to do in the future, even though the group's stated uniting goal is to drive the Ethiopians out of Somalia. Source: Garowe Online

Dr. Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis September 24, 2007 In an earlier article entitled ‘US, China, Norway, 'Ethiopia', Somalia and the Horn of Africa’, we analyzed the deterioration of the relationship between ‘Ethiopia’ and Norway, we focused on the emergence of China as no 1 influential power in the Horn of Africa region, and on critical developments pertaining to the formation of a new National Resistance Party in occupied Southern Somalia. We recommended US support for the new National Somali Leader, Sheikh Sharif Ahmed, in order to outmaneuver Tigray tribal dictator Meles Zenawi’s anti-US schemes with the Chinese to which Zenawi’s Somali puppets, namely the unrepresentative Transitional Federal Government of Somalia, have contributed for long. In this article, we will make some crystal clear comparisons that US Senators, Congressmen, the entire Bush administration, and the US Diplomacy should take seriously into consideration, if they do not want to be twice losers in the Horn of Africa region. Somalia vs. ‘Ethiopia’ Somalia may be divided now, but as it is one nation, it can be united in the future – with relatively little effort. ‘Ethiopia’ looks united now, but it does not consist in a nation, and as its various peoples hate the oppressive regime of ‘Addis Ababa’, they intensify their struggle to split it, seceding and achieving Independence. Somalia larger than ‘Ethiopia’ – in real terms Somalia may even look smaller either as surface or as population, but it all pertains to ostensibly weak Mathematics. Somalia’s surface is estimated in encyclopedias as ca. 640,000 km2; this is definitely wrong, as one should also add the occupied ******, a purely Somali region illegally invaded by Abyssinia at the immoral, colonial times of the Scramble for Africa whereby Abyssinia fully participated, colonizing many independent countries. ******’s surface totals ca. 280,000 km2, and as ******is passionately desire to unite with Somalia, there is no reason for any long-term consideration to specify Somalia’s surface as less than ca. 920,000 km2. ‘Ethiopian’ surface is officially proclaimed to be ca. 1,120,000 km2; suffice it that you take ****** out, and Africa’s single surviving colonial tyranny is left with a surface ca. 840,000 km2. This means that if we only cut ****** off ‘Ethiopia’, as its Somali population passionately desire, the rest of ‘Ethiopia’ – which does not belong to just one but to many peoples – is already of smaller surface. Somalia - 920,000 km2, ‘Ethiopia’- 840,000 km2 or less? If Montenegro with 700000 inhabitants managed to achieve independence, it would be myopic for the US administration to assume that ****** will not, further proceeding then and uniting with Somalia. However, if we do not calculate ****** as ‘Ethiopian’ territory, again Ethiopia’s surface should not be estimated at 904,000 km2 because like the ******is, many other peoples want to abandon this dysfunctional and anachronistic colonial relic. We will find the details, when examining the population of the two countries; again at this level, ‘Ethiopia’ helps produce a trance to those examining superficially and comparing illogically. Somalia – a 17 million people Nation Somalia’s population is estimated at around 11 million people (totaling inhabitants of present states of Somaliland, Maakhir, Puntland, and Southern occupied territory); to this we have to add 4.5 million people who live in ******, and thus, without calculating Somalis living in Djibouti, Kenya, parts of ‘Ethiopia’ other than ******, and the Diaspora, we get a clear picture about the Somali population totaling ca. 17 million. ‘Ethiopia’ is a colonial state established out of the participation of the Abyssinian Amhara kingdom into the Scramble for Africa, and following the illegal and anti-historical usurpation of the name of Ethiopia by the besotted and manipulated pseudo-king Haile Selassie, a miserable puppet of the British and the French colonials. With ****** seceded, ‘Ethiopia’ accounts for 70 million people and a surface of ca. 840,000 km2. Afars will soon secede, do not count for ‘Ethiopia’ However, if we consider that approximately 2 million Afars living in Afar Land (97,000 km2) ardently strive for National Independence, willing to merge with the Afars living in Djibouti and Eritrea, and thus control have over the strategic African shore at the Bab el Mandeb straits, we come to the conclusion that with ******is and Afars seceded, ‘Ethiopia’ accounts for 68 million people and a surface of ca. 743,000 km2. Compared to unified Somalia (920,000 km2), ‘Ethiopia’ deprived of the right to tyrannize ******is and Afars starts looking small; but this is only the beginning. With ******is and Afars out, Ethiopia: 68 m people - 743,000 km2 surface Slight modifications would occur in the aforementioned figure, if the Anuaks and the Nuers (the outright majority in the Gambella province) and the Berta and the Gumuz (the outright majority of the Beni-Shangul province population) secede. Massacred in the Cenotaph ‘Ethiopia’, all these Nilo-Saharan populations aspire to independence or union with their fellow citizens in Sudan and South Sudan. As the Gambella and Beni-Shangul provinces’ surface totals respectively 25,800 km2 and 49,300 km2, and their population amounts correspondingly to 250,000 and 625,000 people, ‘Ethiopia’ accounts for 67 million people and a surface of ca. 668,000 km2. But these figures are again wrong! Significant alteration will occur to these figures with the Independence and Secession of the various peoples who have been malignantly and dictatorially regrouped within the so-called Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples’ Region. Terribly persecuted, and mercilessly butchered, the Sidamas (ca. 33% of the region’s population), the Shekachos, the Kaffas, the Kambaatas, and other tyrannized nations want fervently to form their national homes. Some of them outnumber several European nations that have achieved independence before many decades. Without the Southern Nations, Ethiopia: 52 m people - 556,000 km2 surface In brief, the machination of the so-called Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples’ Region is truly atrocious; whereas the democratic approach should be to establish various federal provinces, with the major peoples of the area separated, and with each language promoted as official language of each province or state, a wider scheme was invented so that not a single language of all these peoples be possibly accepted as official! On the contrary, Amharic was imposed in their stead, although it is absolutely alien linguistically (Amharic is Semitic, and all these peoples are either Kushitic or Nilo-Saharan), and loathsome socio-politically. This criminal act would correspond to Nazi imposition of German as official language in WW II Hungary, Romania, Czechoslovakia and Poland; what even Hitler did not dare impose during WW II was tyrannically enforced in ‘Ethiopia’. In the so-called Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples’ Region, all the different nations regrouped total 15 million people; the region’s surface is 112,400 km2. Considering the genocides perpetrated by the criminal Amharas and Tigrays under different totalitarian (monarchical, communist, pseudo-republican / bogus-federal) regimes in that region, we have good reasons to anticipate these peoples’ secession and self-determination within several national statehoods whereby each nation’s language will be the official one – not alien Amharic. With them gone, fake ‘Ethiopia’ will be left with ca. 556,000 km2 surface and 52 million people. It would look far smaller than Somalia, yet more populous. However, one should carefully study the following. Somalia - 920,000 km2, ‘Ethiopia’- 556,000 km2 or less? Left with ca. 556,000 km2 surface and 52 million people, fake ‘Ethiopian’ tyranny would not consist in a national state. It would still be a most loathed – by its own citizens – African Gulag. It is noteworthy to add that the word ‘citizens’ in the previous sentence is a figure of speech. The racist Amharas have always considered the Oromos as ‘insects’. Following the propaganda, and monitoring the activities of the Neo-Nazi Amhara party Kinijit, we have reason to believe that the Amharas never regretted and never repented for their political terminology, and racist ideology. One gets a more illuminating understanding of ‘Ethiopia’, when noticing the Oromo deprecation for the erratic, counterfeit and faulty Millennium of the anachronistic and totalitarian Amharas and Tigrays, who idiotically call the Gueze Millennium as ‘Ethiopian Millennium’. As the African tyranny’s largest nation, the Oromos form the quasi-totality of the population of Oromia, and the majority in both, Diredawa, and Harar (the two cities – regions). At the same time, Oromos are the largest group in Finfinne that the Amhara tyranny illegally re-baptized as ‘Addis Ababa’. Oromia is the country’s most sizeable region with a surface of ca. 354,000 km2. Oromos throughout the country amount to approx. 29 million people. With so many brave records in terms of National Resistance, the Oromos are expected to trigger the decisive shot at the heart of the loathsome corpse ‘Ethiopia’, thus prompting the dissolution of Africa’s most inhuman and illegitimate state. With the Oromos seceding, the name Ethiopia will be lost for the Amharas Without the Oromos, ‘Ethiopia’ will be left with a surface slightly larger than 200,000 km2 and with a population of around 23 million people. Even worse, the country will be left unnamed, as the Oromos, seceding and establishing an independent state, will rightfully take with them the name of the country, as Ethiopia corresponds to the Ancient Kushitic Kingdom of Meroe, in the area of today’s Sudan, and only the Oromos and the Eastern Kushites in general have right to it. With the Oromo Ethiopian Republic fixing its capital at Finfinne, and following the obliteration of the otherwise ignominious and absolutely useless name of ‘Addis Ababa’, the remnants of the tyrannical state still would not represent a national state. Without the Ethiopian Oromos, Abyssinia: 23 m people - 200,000 km2 surface Neither Amharas and Tigrays will be predisposed to live together, nor Tigrays will be willing to still be a landlocked state separated from Eritrea; and as the majority of Eritrea’s population (particularly after the secession of the Afars, regrouped around Assab) are the Tigrinya and Tigre speaking people, ‘Ethiopian’ Tigrays will find it normal to merge with Eritrea’s largest part into a new state of Abyssinia. As the Tigray region has ca. 50000 km2 surface and there approx. 5 million Tigrays in today’s ‘Ethiopia’, with their secession and merge with Eritrea, the situation will start becoming clear. Tigrays to secede and merge with Eritrea, Agaws to declare Independence It would then be the correct time for the Kushitic people Agaw, who have been erroneously and tyrannically included in the Amhara region territory, to secede. As they account for approx. 1 million people, the Amhara region will thus be finally characterized by homogeneity, and approx. 17 million Amharas will be regrouped around Gonder and the Tana Lake region. It is only through these anticipated developments that one can better evaluate what the real power of the Amhara-founded and (only currently) Tigray-led colonial state of fake ‘Ethiopia’ is. With the Agaws and the Abyssinian Tigrays gone, Amhara: 17 m people - 140,000 km2 surface The postcolonial situation in ‘Ethiopia’ will leave approx. 17 millions of Amharas in control of a 140,000 km2 state around Gonder, their capital. In real terms of surface and population, today the US are confronted in the Horn of Africa with the following choice, namely a partner selection among the three largest nations -states: 1. Oromo Ethiopia – 354,000 km2 – 29 million people (currently non existent) 2. Somalia – 920,000 km2 – 17 million people (currently divided and partly occupied) 3. Amhara state of Gonder – 140,000 km2 – 17 million people (the moving force of fake, tyrannical ‘Ethiopia’, although overshadowed by the Tigray tyranny of Meles Zenawi over the past 16 years). Somalia – 17 m people / 920,000 km2, Amhara – 17 m people / 140,000 km2 This is the basic rapport de force that one has to take into consideration. The frontal opponents at this moment, the various groups of Somali opposition to the ‘Ethiopian’ occupation of the Somali South, and the Tigray dictator Zenawi do not represent but a very recent Abyssinian – Somali fight. In this long fight, it was not the Tigrays but mainly the Amharas who led the anti-Somali fight. One has to bear in mind the current circumstances of the ‘Ethiopian’ – Eritrean rivalry between two leaders of the same ethno-religious background, Zenawi and Afeworki. The rivalry and the war may have helped both survive, but the Tigray experiment in ‘Ethiopia’ is about to expire. Observing the movements of the Kinijit Amhara chauvinistic and racially prejudiced party, one understands that they try to return in power, rejecting even the identity and the existence of the oppressed nations of the incredible, tyrannical realm. Simply, they want to replace the Tigrays in the government, having been deprived from the benefits of tyrannical rule for 16 years. Unrepentable colleague of the communist dictator Mengistu, the leader of Kinijit Hailu Shewul is a repugnant figure of Brezhnev-times relic that dares travel to America and meet Congressmen in order to convince them to possibly trust him and let him perform another genocide in ‘Ethiopia’. The merge of the Tigray region with Eritrea may just be a matter of time. Consequently, one has to translate the comparison Somalia vs. ‘Ethiopia’ to the very accurate contrast Somalia vs. Amhara.

Somalia: Nadifo Gedi - 'I Have Never Begged But I Am Close to It Now' UN Integrated Regional Information Networks 24 September 2007 Posted to the web 24 September 2007 Nairobi Nadifo Gedi, a 30-year-old mother of three, is living in a makeshift camp for internally displaced people on the northern outskirts of Mogadishu. She fled the fighting in the Somali capital in August and now lives in the village of Burbishaaro, 20km north of Mogadishu, with about 400 other displaced families. Home for Gedi, her husband and her children, aged one, two and three, is a hut made of twigs, torn clothes and plastic, in the baking sun close to the Indian Ocean. Until recently, Gedi had been living with her family in Wahara Ade, near the livestock market in north Mogadishu. Wahara Ade is part of Huriwa district, considered to be one of the most dangerous in the Somali capital, with frequent clashes between insurgents and Ethiopian-backed government troops. "We were better off than other parts of Huriwa but then the violence spread to us too. Last month [August], things got so bad that there were constant killings. Every morning you hear so-and-so was killed last night. It got so that my husband and I could not go to the market to earn a living. "Slowly the neighbourhood got empty as people left, first in small numbers, then in greater numbers. We had no choice but to leave since our neighbours were either dead, injured or had left. "A shell landed on our compound and destroyed my husband's wheelbarrow. That day we decided to leave. My husband had a wheelbarrow to carry goods for clients and I had a stall in the market where I sold vegetables. "We were renting a small house. We did not have much but we survived and our children did not go hungry. My husband used to bring food every day when he came back from the market. Now he cannot even go to the city, because it is not safe. "Now our home is a small hut. It can protect us from the sun but if it rains I don't know what we will do. "We have nothing, not even cooking utensils, and survive on what others give us. We sometimes manage to get one meal a day through the kindness of others. "I have never begged but I am close to it now. My children are going hungry more and more and I cannot explain to them why we cannot feed them." http://allafrica.com/stories/200709240885.html
