Jacaylbaro Posted April 19, 2007 April 18, 2007: The Transitional Government has dismissed 31 members of the 275 member parliament, who had allied themselves with the Islamic Courts. Meanwhile, nothing has been settled by the recent fighting, and ceasefire. The Islamic Courts, and the clans that support them, are waiting for an opportunity to renew the fighting. The Islamic radicals are raising more money and fighters overseas, especially in expatriate Somali populations. Historically, the Somali clans have to be hammered quite a bit more before they submit and settle down. The Ethiopians are willing to go in and persuade the hostile clans with force, but the UN wants to do nothing and hope for the best. SOURCE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
