Dragged or not, they were dead and their pictures were being posted, that is the main point here. Catch up will you.

 

The man took the opportunity to walk along side Ethiopians and help them kill fellow Somalis, (a sadistic decision to make) his actions resulted to his demise.

Gurey and Keynan

 

Factually speaking, the man is dead. Arguing about his death won’t bring him back. Whoever killed him will answer to the One Above.

 

His death isn’t more significant than the thousands of Somalis who died because of the Ethiopian troops he was assisting!

 

So boo-hoo cry me a river.

^^^

There is a reason foreverything. Some people have been bombed and they were burned beyond recognition, others were on the ground unburied for days. The vultures were feasting on them. Somalis were killed, by other Somalis, some with the help of the Ethiopians and American Airplanes. And I haven’t heard a single person condemn those killing. The way you die will not matter when your death wasn’t justified. America killed more than 70 innocent Somalis, not a single one of you were outraged, all of you remained silence! So do me a favor and remain silence now.

 

It was reported the road that lead to Mogadishu was ornamented with dead corpses. Apparently that didn’t disturb you.

 

The people in Mogadishu are frustrated for a reason, the group which brought them absolute peace for six months were ousted by the likes of this man and Ethiopia. For those who say the TFG has a massive amount of supporters in Mogadishu, let this be a wake-up call.

Congregating here is bunch of ******** ********. Neither the article posted nor any other news outlet is reporting any dead policemen being dragged through the streets (if I missed something let me know). Where are you guys getting this from? The article only mentions 2 people dead and 5 injured. The evidence for dragged policeman is 1 still photo whose circumstances we don't know. And unless you got hard evidence for what you're alleging, you should stop maligning entire people.

 

Lets be rational about this for a sec. If the people of Mogadishu have irrepressible urges to "drag the dead through the streets" as some here are saying, it would be daily occurance and we would be indifferent to the shock of it from seeing 1 too many. This sorry city has seen 10s of thousands killed since the early 90s, how many times have the dead been dragged through the streets?

Somali police convoy attacked

 

SUNDAY, JANUARY 28, 2007

 

 

Three people have been killed after armed men attacked a convoy

transporting Mogadishu's police chief, according to residents.

 

On Sunday, fighters opened fire on the convoy as it drove through the

Somali capital, witnesses said.

 

 

 

 

Mohamed Hussein, a local shopkeeper, said: "I heard a big explosion ...

I saw uniformed police exchanging fire with gunmen in civilian clothes."

Jama Nour, Al Jazeera's correspondent in Mogadishu, said it had not

been confirmed that the armed men were from the Islamic Courts Union.

 

 

 

 

Witnesses told Nour that the armed men were young people from the local

neighbourhood and that government and Ethiopian troops were regularly

attacked there.

Nour said: "We found a dead young man who was killed during the clashes.

Some youngsters were dragging him, saying he is a policeman but ... a

spokesman for the government affirmed that one policeman was injured.

"Witnesses at the scene affirmed that seven people have been injured

during the fighting and another three, including the policeman, have

been killed."

The ambush is the latest in a series on Somali government and Ethiopian

forces and follows an attack on two police stations in Mogadishu.

 

Grenade attack

 

Seven people were injured when gunmen fired rocket-propelled grenades at

two police stations in Mogadishu and fired machine-guns at officers

stationed outside.

"In Howlwadag, two policemen and three civilians were wounded while in

Wardigley, a civilian and a policeman were injured," said Ali Nur, a

Somali police officer.

The Somali government blames the attacks on fighters from the Islamic

Courts Union, which was forced from Mogadishu in December last year and

promised to continue a guerrilla war against the government and its

Ethiopian backers.

Islamic Courts fighters have pulled back from Mogadishu further into the

south of Somalia, where they have been attacked by Ethiopian and US air

raids.

Abdirahman Dinari, a government spokesman, said: "We will make sure such

individuals are filtered from society and apprehended."

 

"Cheap propaganda"

 

Leaflets allegedly from the Islamic Courts were circulated in Mogadishu

over the weekend, saying residents should avoid collaborating with

Ethiopian forces or face "losing lives and property".

Dinari called the leaflets "cheap propaganda".

He said: "It will not work. I urge the people to work with the

government, and in particular the police, in order to protect their

lives."

He also said that Islamic Courts fighters were regrouping and that the

Somali government lacked the troops, training and weapons to deal with

them.

"We need the support of the international community to deploy forces and

assist us in securing the country," said Dinari. Although the government

claimed Mogadishu from the Islamic Courts, the government faces

opposition from other groups including various clan militias.

In Ethiopia, Meles Zenawi, the Ethiopian prime minister, has said

Ethiopia will pull a third of its troops out of Somalia in the next two

days.

But although international diplomats agree Somalia will need a

peacekeeping force, it is unclear where the troops will come from.

As Ethiopian forces began to pull back from Somalia, Zenawi said that

the Islamic Courts were no longer a military threat but that they could

regroup unless there was reconciliation among Somali clans.

He said: "If the politics are not right, then they can in the future

rebuild their capacity."

 

"Power vacuum"

 

US military officials in Doha, Qatar, said Somalia could return to chaos

in just four months if international peacekeepers are not quickly

deployed to replace the departing Ethiopian troops.

They said a "power vacuum" was developing in Somalia with the departure

of the Ethiopian troops and reports that the army is being weakened by

malaria. The US military said it stationed a US Navy carrier battle

group off the coast of Somalia and mounted an air raid in the campaign

against the Islamic Courts last year, but it has no plans to increase

its role in the country.

"When Ethiopia pulls out, we'll reduce our presence there", US officials

said.

It is their failure that makes them rejoice in things like this, this man was doing his job, and for his death to be a matter of joy to some is quite sickening.

 

They are losing, thats the truth.
