Abdi2005 Posted December 28, 2008 Security guards of president Yusuf leave Mogadishu Posted: 12/28/2008 3:11:00 PM MOGADIHSU (Sh. M. Network)-The Security guards of the ineffectual Somali President Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed have left from Mogadishu to Puntlnad regions, witnesses said on Sunday. A special plane took 120 of security guards with their families and other soldiers loyal to the incompetent president of Somalia Abdulahi Yusuf from Aden Adde international airport in Mogadishu to their home towns in north eastern Somalia. The departure of the soldiers comes as media reports speculating that President Yusuf will step down, under U.S. pressure. But the Somali president has not addressed a full parliament yet and his final decision remains unknown. Somali President Abdulahi Yusuf took thousands of soldiers from Puntland to protect him in Mogadishu and work as federal troops. The Ethiopian government has announced plans to withdraw from Somalia in the coming weeks, after failing to stop the advance of Islamists across the country's southern regions.

Abdi2005 Posted December 28, 2008 Uganda asked to withdraw troops from Somalia Posted: 12/26/2008 1:14:00 PM Shabelle: SOMALIA KAMPALA ( Sh. M. Network)-The Shadow minister for Defense, Hussein Kyanjo has said Uganda needs to withdraw its troops from Somalia because of the confusion over the Somali transitional government. Kyanjo says the African Union Peace Keeping forces were invited by the interim government headed by Yusuf Abdhulai which government seems to have lost control of the war torn country. This follows a decision by Yusuf to sack all his cabinet members and Prime Minister Nuru Hassan Hussein. But the Somali Parliament rejected Yusuf’s move and declared Nuru Hassan Hussein as the rightful leader of the interim government. Kyanjo who is also the MP for Makindye West says the conflict between the two groups are likely to cause conflicting loyalties for Uganda and Burundian peace keepers who are in Somalia on behalf of the African Union. This comes at a time when the mandate of the AU peacekeeping mission in Somalia has expired, although AU foreign ministers meeting in Addis Ababa this week agreed to extend the mandate of AU peace keepers by two months. The AU ministers appealed to Uganda and Burundi, the only countries to answer a call to send troops to the war torn Somalia to send more troops to cover the gap left by withdrawing Ethiopian troops. The UN Security Council which was expected to send peace keeping troops to Somalia recently said they would not send peace keepers, saying there was no peace to keep in Somalia because the different clan factions have not shown strong evidence of wanting an end to the factional fighting.

Abdi2005 Posted December 28, 2008 Ethiopia says withdrawal from Somalia "irreversible" Wednesday, December 24, 2008 ADDIS ABABA, Dec. 24 (Xinhua) -- Ethiopia's decision to withdraw its troops from Somalia is "irreversible," said Foreign Ministry spokesman Wahide Belay on Wednesday. The decision had got approval of the lower House of People's Representatives, Wahide told journalists. "The Ethiopian army, that successfully discharged its mission in Somalia, will be withdrawn," he stressed. Ethiopia will continue to support the activities aimed at ensuring peace and stability in Somalia, after it pulls its troops out of the Horn of Africa nation by the end of the year, said Wahide. "As the current chairmanship of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), a member of the Peace and Security Council of the African Union (AU), an active participant in the UN and international forums, Ethiopia will continue exerting efforts to help ensure peace and stability in Somalia," said the spokesman. Ethiopia's Foreign Ministry announced last month that the country would pull its troops out of Somalia by the end of the year. The announcement of Ethiopia's withdrawal has caused panic among the AU Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), whose peacekeepers are to take over security duties but will need more preparation time. Currently, the piracy at south Red Sea and along the Gulf of Aden has become a major international threat, he said, adding that resolving problems on land of Somalia is the solution. However, Wahide said Ethiopia alone cannot continue to shoulder the responsibility. "The responsibility should have been the burden for the international community to share," he added.

Abtigiis Posted December 29, 2008 I am relishing the demise of the invaders. They were comprehensevly routed and have to be evacaued by Antonov planes since yesterday. Kabtaydii yaa arkay baa ka dhacday. The mood is blue here in Lusaka among the TOLKA. How I am cherishing this moment! I invite any SOLer to send me a PM if he wants a wonderful New Year Gift. It is not just a year! It is the year where treason was defeated and tribal avarice thoroughly reversed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
