Somalia: ICU Militias Advance Near Baidoa

July 19, 2006 17 22 GMT

 

Somalia's national security forces were on high alert July 19 after militiamen loyal to the Islamic Courts Union (ICU) advanced to the town of Burhakaba, about 40 miles from the interim government's base in Baidoa, said Prime Minister Ali Mohammed Ghedi. The advance follows the reported defection of 150 government troops to ICU militias. Meanwhile, Ethiopia has said it will intervene if ICU forces attack Baidoa.

 

Somalia's transitional government is on alert after Islamist militias, who control much of the south of the country, moved closer to their base in the north.

 

Witnesses said fighters from the Islamic Courts Union were in the town of Bur Haqaba, 60km from the government's base of Baidoa.

 

An official in Somalia's Islamic militia has said that his forces will soon seize the base of the internationally recognised transitional government.

 

"Nothing will stop us from going in to Baidoa," said Sheikh Muqtar Robow, deputy defence chief for the Islamic group.

 

The government is on high alert and ready to defend itself from an attack, deputy information minister Salad Ali Jelle said.

 

Ali Mohamed Gedi, the Somali prime minister, said "several" Islamic fighters with around 30 battlewagons - machine gun-mounted pickups also known as "technicals" - were positioned southeast of Baidoa.

 

Peace talks

 

Gedi urged the Islamists to send their fighters back to Mogadishu and allow peace talks to go ahead at the weekend.

 

"I appeal to them to go back to Mogadishu, stop attacking other parts of Somalia and needlessly displacing civilians," he said.

 

The Islamic group's deputy defence chief was contradicted by a senior cleric from the Supreme Islamic Council of Somalia in Mogadishu who said that there were no plans for the fighters to carry on to Baidoa.

 

Ethiopia's government spokesman said the country is prepared to invade Somalia to defend the government.

 

Ethiopian troops

 

Up to 2,000 Ethiopian troops crossed the border last week with several tanks to join about 2,000 soldiers already there, various sources have claimed.

 

Relations between the government and Islamists have been tense since the Islamic courts took control of Mogadishu in June challenging the authority of the largely powerless government.

 

The two sides agreed a truce and mutual recognition deal in Sudan on June 22 – the government says the Islamists have broken the deal.

 

They were due to hold further Arab League-sponsored talks in Khartoum last weekend but the government boycotted them. On Monday, officials changed their minds and the talks were rescheduled for this Saturday.

 

Somalia has been without effective central government since clan-based warlords overthrew President Mohamed Siad Barre in 1991 and then turned on each other.

Up to 2,000 Ethiopian troops crossed the border last week with several tanks to join about 2,000 soldiers already there, various sources have claimed.

Somalia's transitional government says its troops are on high alert after Islamic militiamen deployed near the government's base of Baidoa.

 

Analysts say Wednesday's developments could mark the start of open conflict between the government and Somalia's Islamic movement.

Where did the UN authorized Eithopia to invade a a sovereign state? Can you share your sources?

[raadamiir]

It's common sense don't you think. Cause if they didn't the U.N would have said something about that.

 

"We have the responsibility to defend the border and the Somali government. We will crush them," Ethiopia's Minister of Information, Berhan Hailu, told The Associated Press.

 

remarks like that are coming out of Ethiopia and U.N has no respones which means they support it.

Bring the effing Ethios on. Who are they? these guys will fall like a cardhouse, If they invade Somalia that will be the end of Ethiopia. So bring them on, I am unemployed and I need a job, so let those big headed midgets come in and we will make a nice barbeque for them.

[Wiilo]

Nation sxiib aad ayay kaaga qaldan tahay, haddii ay kula tahay Ethopia and all their dabadhilifs inay wax ka qaadayaan kacdoonka ummadda soomaaliyeed.

 

 

Go figure:..........

[General Duke]

Nation, do not fall into a trap, the media ishyping up the situation.. The Ethiopians if they invade will not help matters, the courts have so far said they will not attack Baidoa, the TFG can defend itself. As for Eritria is they had any might they would not have lost the previous war with Ethiopia...

 

We need to take a step back and not get involved in a regional war..

BAYDHABO: Wararka ka imaanaya Baydhabo oo sheegaya in ciidammo ka tirsan kuwa Dowladda ay baxsadeen

Posted to the Web Jul 19, 16:33

 

 

Baydhabo (PP) – Wararka ka imaanaya Magaalada Baydhabo ee Gobolka Bay ayaa sheegaya in ciidammo gaaraya ugu yaraan 300-askari oo ka tirsan ciidammada Dowladda ee tababarka uu uga socday Xerada Manaas ee duleedka Baydhabo ay ka baxsadeen xeradaas.

 

 

Ciidammadaan oo la sheegay inay ahaayeen kuwo ka soo jeeda deegaannada gobolka Hiiraan kana mid ahaa ciidammadii dowladda ee ka soo galay Gobolka Bay dhanka Gobolka Bakool ayaa waxay doonayaan inay gabi ahaantood ku laabtaan dhanka Gobolka Hiiraan oo ay ka soo jeedaan.

 

 

 

Wararka qaarkood ayaa waxay sheegayaan in ciidammadana ay soo gaareen deegaan ku dhow Degmada Buur-hakaba halkaasoo ay hadda ku sugan yihiin, waxaana soo gaaritaanka Ciidammadaan deegaan hoos yimaada degmada Buur-hakaba ay ku soo beegmaysaa xilli ay maanta gaareen Degmada Buur-hakaba ciidammo ka amarqaata kuwa Maxkamadaha Islaamiga ah ee Muqdisho.

 

 

 

Ma jiraan warar xaqiijinaya in ciidammada ka soo baxsaday dhanka xerada ciidammada Manaas ay ku biirayaan kuwa maxkamadaha, waxaase wararka qaarkood ay xaqiijinayaan inay dhici karto inay ku biiraan isla markaana howlgallo la sameeyaan.

 

 

 

Warar ku saabsan arrintaan baxasashada ciidammada oo ka soo baxay dhanka Dowladda Federaalka Soomaaliya ma jiraan, balse dowladdu waxay qorshaynaysaa inay isku daydo xallinta khliaaf kasta oo keeni kara inay baxsadaan ciidammo ay tababaratay.

 

 

 

Ma ahan markii ugu horreysay oo ay ka baxsadaan xeryaha lagu tababaro ciidammada dowladda Federaalka Soomaaliya, balse waxaa jiray marar dhowr ah oo ay baxsadeen ciidammo, waxaana kuwii ugu dambeeyay lagu xiray gudaha Magaalada Baydhabo oo laga qabqabtay iyagoo hubkoodii iibsanaya.

Duke, walaal, these people say one thing and do another. This is how they buy time. While sharif was sayng that their forces are not in Buurhakaba from Xamar, supposed Sheikh, Muqtar Robow was in buurhakaba saying nothing will stop them from taking

baydhaba. This is what all sane people have been warning about before all these people decided to jump on the bandwagon of the newist form of moryanism with their slogans of we will protect the nation from some imagined enemy while when they really mean to do the opposite.

[General Duke]

NN, do not lose sight of the real goal, which is peace. Let these people get excited all they want. Who benefits from war?

 

 

There seems to be a difference within the courts, Shiekh Sharif has said that he had no knowledge of any attack or even the trip of Mr Mansuur who went there on a personel trip..

Do you know what common sense means? Look it up in the dictionary. Common sense is a judgment one makes, right or wrong, not a claim similar to the one you made above. UN supporting Ethiopia to invade a neighboring country is not called common sense sxb. If you wish amxaaro to invade and kill residents of Mogdisho/Somalia, then say so without dragging United Nations name in your claim, unless you're UN representative on SOL, in which you need to state your sources. Keep your hatred for Somalia to yourself. UN may support Ethiopia to defend its borders with Somalia but not invade a sovereign nation. That's called supporting aggression war on another member nation. UN knows better.

You gotta love these so called wadaads - since when was it the behaviour of true Muslim leaders to conquer another Muslim territory. As if they don't have enough to do in Mogadishu itself.
