Ethiopia, Kenya planning to attack Somali Islamists

[Che -Guevara]

After the entry of the Ethiopian troops, who were driving forty battlewagons, in Hiiraan Region, it is said that their entry is part of a tripartite plan to weaken the power of the armed Islamists opposed to the government.

 

 

The information we received indicate that the role of the Ethiopian troops will be to capture Galgaduud, Hiiraan, Bakool and Gedo regions while collaborating with Somali government forces.

 

 

These forces are said to be destined for Baled Weyne and Jowhar. The preparations for the accomplishment of the plan is under way as the Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi phoned Somali President Shaykh Sharif, who is currently in Libya, over the issue. The two leaders discussed the military plan.

 

 

Reports indicate that Meles Zenawi asked permission for his troops to enter Somalia and reach Jowhar and Beled Weyne so as to destroy Islamist forces who are based there.

 

 

The president`s decision over the issue is not yet clear. Joint Kenyan-Somali troops are also expected to enter the Lower Jubba Region and reach up to Mudul-Baraawe (southern Somalia).

 

 

US and European commanders are said to be behind the plan scheduled to begin at the same time.

 

 

AMISOM (AU troops) and government forces are to take control of Mogadishu, Ceelasha Biyaha, Afgooye, Marka, Balcad from the armed groups. (Passage omitted)

[General Duke]

^^^lool. He keeps looking at the watch no time for anything else.

Please stop posting propaganda kthxbye

[Dhubad.]

lol@the Rolex, I have noticed that as well.

 

 

There are some truth in this report, Kenya has beeng mobilising and training Somali militias who are supposed to fight against the Islamist groups in Gedo and Jubboyinka. But the same militia who will outs Al-shabaab are themselves divided and each have its own hidden agenda which could trigger another clan war!

 

 

I don't know when we will break this obscene cycle!

The only problem here is, why we keep falling for the same trick?

 

If you want to solve the issue, you create a national army and not one based on independent clan militia who later on will turn on each other.

 

5000 militia with 5 different comands who are now fighting Al Shabaab will become, 5 different clan militia fighting over the port and killing civilians.

 

Thus no solution.

Che, not anymore.

[Che -Guevara]

^Welcome back my friend.

 

Duke...Agreed!

[Paragon]

^I was never away, though I was at somewhere identifiable. But thanks anyway. Adigu you were not here nor there.

[General Duke]

^^^Che, the fact is Sharif has failed, and so has Al Shabaab, it seems that after the fog clears, only Somaliland & Puntland will be left standing.
