Ethiopia being taught a lesson in Muqdisho

Heavy battles in Somali capital

 

Very heavy fighting between Ethiopian troops and insurgents has broken out in Somalia's capital, Mogadishu.

 

Reports say several people have died in the morning battles taking place in three areas close to the stadium.

 

Ethiopian forces supporting the interim government have moved in reinforcements in a bid to crush Islamist fighters.

 

The UN says Mogadishu is facing a "humanitarian catastrophe" with some 80,000 people fleeing the fighting within the past three days.

 

Uncertainty

 

The Ethiopian forces engaged fighters who have been conducting guerrilla-style attacks on them since the beginning of the year.

 

The insurgents are loyal to a group of Islamic courts which were expelled from Somalia after briefly controlling much of central and southern parts of the country.

 

It is also reported that local residents have also been firing at Ethiopian forces.

 

There was heavy fighting at the weekend, and according to eyewitnesses the fighting in the past few hours has been more intense and casualties have been numerous.

 

International aid agencies have warned of an unfolding humanitarian crisis in parts of Somalia since the fighting began last week.

 

This warning came as Somali faces further uncertainty after its prime minister, Ali Mohammed Ghedi, resigned on Monday.

 

About 40 aid agencies working in Somalia have said the fighting has cut off their ability to respond effectively to the needs of the displaced people.

 

According to the UN some 400,000 displaced people are now living in camps in towns outside Mogadishu, which include Afgooye.

 

Somali's [puppet] transitional government is struggling to impose it authority on the country and its forces and their Ethiopian allies face daily attacks from insurgents.

Somalia: Slain Ethiopian troops paraded in Mogadishu streets

2 Nov 2, 2007 - 8:41:18 AM

 

 

 

MOGADISHU (AFP) — Masked Islamist insurgents on pick-up trucks paraded what they said were the bodies of three Ethiopian soldiers in the streets of Mogadishu Friday, an AFP correspondent reported.

 

The show of defiance by the Shabab, the radical armed wing of the main Somali Islamist movement, came as a four-day lull was shattered by renewed fighting in the capital's southern neighbourhoods.

 

"We will keep killing them until they get out of our country," said one of the gun-toting insurgents, shouting from the back of pick-up, the kind that has become a symbol of Somalia's 17-year-old lawlessness.

 

His face hidden behind a red turban, the Islamist fighter and his two fellow insurgents toured the southern Barua district for several minutes with their gruesome trophy.

 

"The people who invaded our country are dying every day in the fighting," an AFP reporter heard the man shout.

 

Witnesses confirmed an artillery duel between Ethiopian forces and insurgents in the nearby Gupta neighbourhood, in the first night marred by major clashes since Ali Mohamed Gedi resigned from the premiership on Monday.

 

According to witnesses, the latest spate of attacks in the restive seaside capital left four Ethiopian troops, two civilians and an insurgent dead. The death toll could not be immediately confirmed by medical sources.

 

Residents said at least one Ethiopian soldier was killed when raiding suspected Islamist insurgent hideouts in southern Mogadishu's Al-Baraka neighbourhood.

 

"I have seen the body of an Ethiopian soldier at Al-Baraka junction ... Another soldier was wounded in the leg," said a resident who requested anonymity for fear of retribution.

 

"A man selling petrol near the junction was hit by a stray bullet and another was shot by Ethiopian forces as he tried to escape," said Mohamed Ali, another resident.

 

Ethiopian troops have been venturing deeper into the streets of Islamist bastions in recent days, in abid to break the back of an insurgency that has plagued efforts to stabilise the transitional government for months.

 

The Ethiopian army came to the rescue of the embattled Somali government last year to oust an Islamist militia that briefly controlled large parts of the country and sought to impose Islamic law.

 

The Islamic Courts Union were swiftly defeated earlier this year, but its remnants and allied tribes have since waged a guerrilla war against their enemies.

 

However the heavy-handed crackdown on the insurgents has also angered many in Mogadishu. Three civilians were killed late last month when Ethiopian troops opened fire on demonstrators protesting against their presence.

 

On Wednesday, the UN refugee agency said up to 90,000 civilians were displaced in Mogadishu in the weekend fighting, which was "the worst in months" stoking worsening humanitarian crisis in the country.

 

The parading of dead Ethiopian troops through the streets of Mogadishu was somewhat reminiscent of 1993, when the bodies of US special forces taking part in a doomed operation were famously torn to pieces and paraded in the streets.

 

Alarmed by the escalating violence in Mogadishu, 40 aid groups warned of an "unfolding humanitarian catastrophe" in parts of Somalia and said they could no longer meet the country's growing relief needs.

 

The fighting is exacerbating an already dire humanitarian situation which has left 1.5 million -- almost one sixth of the total population -- in need of help.

 

Bloody clan feuds following the 1991 ousting of dictator Mohamed Siad Barre escalated into a civil war which continues to defy every peace initiative.

Saaxib you understand it better than anyone I can think of. What is frustrating you is the clear, present and persistent idiocy of policy makers on all sides.

 

I have a prescription of relief for you: pick a side. Once you've done so, you will be spending much of your time cheering for your side and cussing out the opposition. I recommend you choose the resistance. It's the group to support despite all their shortcomings. The TFG is an awful nightmare from which we will undoubtedly wake up one day and when we do, you do not want to be on the wrong side of history.

 

Abdillahi Yuusuf is a nincompoop turncoat and only those who (short-sightedly) see him as a their elder clansman will support him. And of course, those (Ethiopia and others) whose tunes he will happily dance to like the lifetime dabo-dhilif that he is.

^I find this odd, and surely inaccurate. How can an insurgency be engaged in an 'artillery duel'? surely insurgents have no way of sneaking real artillery in the city passed the noses of the ethiopians? mortar fire maybe,but artillery?

 

In any case, those men who are fighting to free their country are brave and are fighting for a just cause, may God have mercy on their souls and forgive them for any previous transgressions.
