General Duke Posted August 26, 2006 Somali gov accuses Eritrea of supplying Islamists August 26, 2006, By ANDnetwork .com An envoy from the powerless Somali government told the African Union on Friday that Eritrea was sending arms and troops to support the Union of Islamic Courts, who currently control much of south and central Somalia. AbdiKarim Farah, Somalia's envoy for the African Union's (AU's) peace and security council, said that Eritrea were becoming increasingly involved in Somalia, and that its involvement was threatening to the government. Farah said that shipments of arms and troops arrived at the port of Mogadishu from Eritrea, and that one of the ships carried 1 500 Eritrean troops. Farah blamed the stagnated peace talks between the government and Islamists on Eritrea's intervention which frustrated the Arab Leagues efforts to mediate the peace talks. The accusation comes amidst statements from Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys, the head of the Islamists, who said that war with Ethiopia is imminent as they refused to withdraw troops sent in to south western Somalia to protect the government. Analysts warn that the current scenario could play out in a similar fashion to that of the Cold War where America and Russian used a number of indirect wars, or proxy wars, to fight their battles. Somalia could become a war zone in which Ethiopia and Eritrea settle old scores, a move which would impact very negatively on the region.

Uthman1 Posted August 26, 2006 Learn your historical facts General Duke. Non believers have fought alongside muslims before and funded them so before you act like a Shiekh, get your facts right. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alle-ubaahne Posted August 26, 2006 ^^Once we take care of the stinking Ethiopians, we'll come to the Eritrean and make regime change in favor of the vast majority of Muslims in that country. Now, are you ready to stop Qashinka aad faafineysid adiga iyo General Duke? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Qandalawi Posted August 26, 2006 ^^ we'll come to the Eritrean and make regime change in favor of the vast majority of Muslims in that country I think thats very good idea Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BoiBoi Posted August 26, 2006 This is the same Eritrea where hundreds of muslims have disappeared, Koran schools have been closed, where any bearded Muslim is called a terrorist, and where Muslims in general are treated as second class citizens. What are Eritrean troops doing in Somalia's capital? Didn't the ICU say "NO to ALL foreign troops". So much for their "Tough Words". When will the irony stop. This is not a defence for Ethiopia, I think they are both just as guilty as each other. Instead wasting their resources in reconciling Somalia, it would be best if they put their resources to reconcile between each others countries. I think the ENTIRE IGAD should one massive reconciling movement. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

General Duke Posted August 28, 2006 ^^^Ubahane I love your daydream, sadly we have come accustomed to your rants. Christian Eritria is using the courts to further its agenda. It has rightly understood that these people are not real Islamic movement thus not a threat to them... Christian Ethiopia is using the TFG also to futher its gains. Dhubad the Amara regime is even worse than the one in Adis and has suppressed countless Muslims in that country.. It is not propoganda nor from your phantom enemy....

Naxar Nugaaleed Posted August 30, 2006 dude, they let eritra go, what would they want with Somalia and all its problems and shaiks/warlords. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedSea Posted August 30, 2006 There is saying that goes, the Enemy of my enemy is my friend. Although this news hasn't been confirmed entirly, but if it so happens to be the truth, then I don't see no reason as to why not to have Eritrea' backing since offcourse its arch enemy Ethiopia is backing the TFG. The government of Eritrea hasn't gotten involve in Somali politics nor is it involve in the decision making ulike Ethiopia does, they are simply in or would be there to assist and disrupt any future plans that Ethiopia might have with Somalia, common sense people.If it happens to be cargo plains full of weapons or militry personal/advisors, then why not.Yaa faraha baruur kusita. Finally, I would like to take the words of Hezbollah leaders as he talked about the Isreali-Hezbollah conflict earlier. He said "if Isreal behaves as if there are no rules in war, we also have the right to behave the same". So this means,if the TFG is bringing Ethiopia into the mix and ignores the voice of the people, then the ICU has the right to bring in whoever they want to also advance their goal, kabiish.

General Duke Posted August 30, 2006 ^^^lol. Eritria Vs Ethiopia = Ethiopia wins all the time. These courts have just replaced the big talking warlords of Mogadishu. The warlords used to attack Ethiopia at every turn. They denied occupaying other clans land. They thought they could solve everything through the barrel of a gun[Aydeed]. The clan courts need to change, so far they have not and are heading the same route as the fallen warlords. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Naxar Nugaaleed Posted August 31, 2006 ^^^ true. Its very clear that all eritra is doing is distracting Ethiopia from its border but But the ethios can afford to both defind its borders from those useless fascist and assist the Somali government to defind itself from those warlords in xamar.

RedSea Posted August 31, 2006 folks unlike the TFG, the courts have the man power and ability to get it done, well, because with weak and nonfunctioning garbage like the TFG trying to challenge them. It's not like they need Eritrea to be there for them like Abdullahi Yusuf wants the Xabshis to look after him from the courts. However, the courts may need little more sophisticated weaponary, they might have that as well and I am might be underestimating in that sense. Duke,the man you have quoted is Caydiid's son, does that ring a bell for you brother? another thing, this isn't about Eritrea vs. Ethiopia, this is taking place on Somali soil, whether Ethiopia wins over Eritrea in their routine wars has nothing to do with the situation, it's about the Weak TFG and its cry for help from the Xabashis, the courts don't need no military help from anyone except that stated above already. The bottomline is, as I have said time and again, the contesting powers are Ethiopia trying to have dominant influent on Somalis vs. The ICU,denying that to happen,for the sake of God the TFG is nothing to really say they can even appose any threat to anyone.
