Wiilo Posted December 24, 2006 Ethiopian warplanes begin air strikes on Somalia Somaliweyn Media Center (SMC) Ethiopian warplanes have for the first time started air strikes on Somali civilians in Hiran region of central Somalia, leaving many ordinary people dead, while ferocious war carries on central and southern Somalia regions. Reports from Hiran says the Ethiopian helicopters bombed Kalabeyr village some 25km from Beledweyn, the provincial capital of Hiran, as heavy fighting between the Islamic courts forces and the Ethiopian occupiers still keeping on the border. “Four warplanes of Ethiopian army are bombing here, they are using excessive power by eliminating civilians” Abdi Ahmed, a local resident told SMC by phone. Abdi said also the Ethiopian helicopters with guns firing the city, killing many people and left many others injured. He also pointed out that the Ethiopian warplanes also destructed many apartments in the city and cut roads to stop military aid towards the Islamists forces, warring on the border. On the border between Hiran and Ethiopian skirmishing between the Islamic forces and the Ethiopian troops still continuing, as many Somali life devotees are on their way to the border to take part the battle. Amin Da’ad, the local commander of the Islamic courts forces told they repelled attacks from the enemy, hoping that the upper hand will be with them. Sources said the Ethiopian troops took Jawil village and other villages in Hiran. But the Islamic courts officials are yet to confirm this report. Local residents say if the Ethiopian air strikes continue, they will take Beledweyn, the provincial capital, because of lack of power to put down their warplanes. The battle also is continuing in Banidiradley of Mudug region in central Somalia and Deynunay, near the seat of the western backed Somalia government. The international community goes on with ignoring the Ethiopian aggressive war on Somalia, saying only that the government and the Islamists must stop the war, while the fighting is between the Ethiopian occupiers and the Islamic courts.

Thierry. Posted December 24, 2006 This was well expected I am sure ICU made the necessary preparation for such attacks. As for the civilians may Allah save their innocent souls from this foreign aggression. Remember the mighty America and Israel could not defeat the Taliban and Hezbollah with all their air strikes Inshallah may the Courts succeed in this. Guys if you can not go your selves at least make some contribution to your local mosques to this cause. Salaam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coloow Posted December 24, 2006 Asalamu calaykum, The coward Ethiopian airforce supported by the murderers gathered in Baydhabo have taken this conflict to new hights. I guess the supporters of the amxaaros and their lackeys on SOL are proud that Ethiopian warplanes have bombarded Beledweyne and Matabaan. This action shows that Ethiopians would bomb civilians (to ethiopians somalis are somalis). My hope is that this latest action would help our brothers and sisters on SOL who out of blind faith/loyalty to tribalism understand this is more than fighting an armed islamic resistance. This is about Ethiopia bent on humiliating somalis. This would NEVER happen. They bombed beledweyne, Hargeisa, Luuq, and Baydhabo- and even attempted to occupy Balanbale/Galdogob but they have never broken our will. Walaahi I have never felt this bad in many years. I could picture the bodies of innocent women and children lying on the streets of Beledweyne. What makes more angry is that this kind of action is supported by people on SOL.
