Puppet president says no negotiation with Islamists

[Castro]

DUBAI (Reuters) - Somali President Abdullahi Yusuf said on Monday there would be no negotiations with Islamists who ruled the capital Mogadishu and large parts of southern Somalia before they were ousted late last month.

 

"With regard to holding talks with the courts (Islamists), this will not happen," he told Al Jazeera television in an interview before he flew to the Somali capital for the first time since he became president in 2004.

 

Yusuf's entry into Mogadishu on Monday capped a remarkable turn-around in the capital after Islamists were routed by advancing Ethiopian and government troops on December 28.

 

Some Islamists have vowed to fight on. But others meeting in Yemen have offered the prospect of talks to ease the country's latest crisis and Washington's top envoy to Africa has promoted dialogue as a way to secure a lasting peace.

 

But Yusuf seemed to rule out this possibility.

 

"We will crack down on the terrorists in any place around the nation," he added in remarks dubbed into Arabic.

 

African and Western diplomats are working on a plan to send African peacekeepers into Somalia to fill a security vacuum when Ethiopian forces who helped drive out the Islamists leave.

 

"We are waiting now to replace the Ethiopian troops with international forces," he said, adding he had no objections for both Arab and African troops to join.

NO! That's your definition.

 

Terrorism is not description of reality as is, only reality for you. There's an aphorism unlike most aphorisms which actually says something meaningful, something that resonates with reality. The aphorism I'm refering to is one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. Truer words have rarely ever been spoken. People of the same ethnicity, religion, political persuasion can look at violent act and call it terroristic and non-terroristic act. Terrorism is mental contruct not reality.

people's opinion, socod, and what the ward actually means are two diffrerent things. There is terrorism and there is state terrorism and believe they both exist. Terrorism is simply the use of violence by a non-state entities for political gain. State terrorism is little complicated because scholars define government as the sole entity that has a right to use force or violence.

I think poems belong to the poetry forum.Don't u agree?

 

P.s.Terrorism exists objectively and in fact.This more than once qualifies terrorism to be a reality.

There is one individual who lives in Bristol who is completely opposed to the TFG, hence I suggest that they should negotiate with him , in order to bring peace to the country.

Come on guys, what is there to negotiate with the 'cimamadyals'...gabalkodi wu dhacey' big time.

Objected the Government!A simple answer,innit?

[Wisdom_Seeker]

Isn’t he making the same mistake the ICU is accused of making, not negotiating? The man is getting hopeful for no apparent reason.

[Castro]

Khartoum was a farce. The war was coming no matter what happened. To say the ICU asked for this war is like saying Hizbollah asked for the war in Lebanon last summer. Invasions are not impromptu events. They're meticulously planned for months if not years.

 

Now that the invasion has turned into an occupation, the planning of the second phase is not as good as the first. "Now what?" the Ethiopians ask the puppet regime. "What do you mean?" is the response they get.
