General Duke Posted May 13, 2009 The bloodshed has caused splits in both heavily armed sides: there was a deadly clash on Monday between police and soldiers, then a rift broke out in the opposition after a veteran warlord stoked rivalries between two insurgent factions. Sheikh Yusuf Mohamed Siad, also known as "Inda'ade" or "white eyes," handed control of his hundreds of fighters and 19 battle wagons -- pickup trucks mounted with heavy weapons -- to Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys, another senior opposition leader. That angered Shabaab leaders, who are also fighting the country's fragile new government. Washington accuses both Aweys and the Shabaab group of having links to al Qaeda. A relative of Inda'ade said Shabaab wanted to behead the warlord and had ordered Aweys to hand him and his weapons over. Separately, a Shabaab official admitted foreigners were operating with the group. A local elder told Reuters he had seen many "long-bearded Arabs" in the weekend's clashes. "We sent an alarm to the Muslim world when Ethiopia invaded our country, and they sent us brothers to help us," Shabaab official Sheikh Ali Hussein Fidow told reporters in the capital. Ethiopia sent thousands of troops into Somalia in late 2006 to crush the Islamic Courts Union led by Aweys and current President Sheikh Sharif Ahmed, which ruled much of the south.

Wakaalada wararka ee Reuters oo kasoo xigatay warkan ilo ku dhow-dhow Indha-Cadde ayaa xaqiijiyay warkan, waxaana ey sheegeen in Indhacade uu iminka magan ahaan ugu jiro ururka Xisbul Islaam (Garabka Xasan Daahir) oo uu hubkiisa ku wareejiyay mar uu kasoo baxsaday dagaal yahanada Al-Shabaab oo xoog kagala wareegay goobo ey maleeshiyaadkiisu ku sugnaayeen. Kooxda Al-Shaab oo waligood sanifsanaa Yusuf Indha-cadde ayaa waxaa kasii careysiiyay kadib markii uu dhawaan ku hadlay hadalo lidi ku ah Al-Shaab islamarkaana uu heshiis horudhac ah la galay dowladda midnimada Qaran oo uu dagaal kala dhexeeyo kooxda Al-Shabaab. Arintan oo uu ku dhex-jiro Xasan Daahir ayaa wado dadaalo uu kooxda Al-Shabaab uga maslaxayo Yuusuf Indhacadde, waxaana warar horu dhac ah oo kasoo baxay kulan dhexmaray Xasan Daahir iyo Al-Shabaab oo ku aadan arinkan ey sheegayaan in uu fashil ku dhamaaday kadib markii Al-Shabaab ey ka fuqiwaayeen mowqifkooda ah in gacantooda lasoo galiyo Indha Cadde. Dadka qaar ayaa aaminsan in arinta Indha-cadde ey xiisad ka dhex abuuri karto kooxaha islaamiyiinta ee kala sheegta Xisbul Islaam iyo Al-Shabaab oo maalmahan u dambeeyay dagaal wadajir ah kula jiray dowladda midnimada qaran.

NGONGE Posted May 13, 2009 If he has only hundreds of fighters and 19 battle wagons, how many fighters and battle wagons do Al Shabab, Sheikh Aweys and the government have? Why do I get the feeling that the entire total of 'troops' here does not exceed several thousand? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
