By the way what does that have to do with this topic No actually it was not a border clash, Ethiopians entered the territory and killed 13 people after your government accused the SSC of being terrorists. Read the article from your own enclave, the Ethiopians were stationed near by buhoodle. The point of this is that you have no business mentioning others calling in Ethiopians when your own government does the same. At the very least they could have condemned this action.

Xaaji Xunjuf Posted October 18, 2011 Not really a group of Ethiopian soldiers were attacked beyond the Ethiopian border by an armed group from buhoodle the Ethiopian troops retaliated which resulted the lose of 13 People, do you even know where buhoodle is located parts of it is located in Ethiopia and part of it in Somaliland. Somaliland govt did not call the Ethiopians in and even if they did i would not agree with that but you on the other hand fully supported Ethiopians shelling Residents in Mogadisho according to you it was a revenge from your Clan against the Mogadisho Community.

Thankful Posted October 18, 2011 The forces had crossed from neighbouring Ethiopia into Somaliland - a self-declared republic - two weeks earlier. Xaaji I don't expect you to admit the irony in someone from your enclave accusing others of bringing in Ethiopians. I provided several reports that show that Ethiopians crossed the Somali border. Your unbelievable claim that the people from Buhoodle were the agressors is even more ridiculous. Also, what are you talking revenge from your clan against the mogadishu Community? Need I remind you that both North and South Gaalkaayo were allies in that war. That the Prime Minister at the time (Geedi) was fully supporting the defensive operations?

Xaaji Xunjuf Posted October 18, 2011 We all know what drove Cabdulahi yusuf to allow Ethiopian Mercenaries to shell Mogadisho, Ethiopia was driven by their Abyssinian Pride their Soldiers were taking Pictures at the Somalia defense Ministerial office raising their flag. And Cabdiilaahi yusuf was driven By Clan revenge. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No i must have not, why would i? AMISOM is in Somalia through a mandate, AMISOM is not occupying Somalia, lest you've bought the AL-QAIDA version that goes Infidels are occupying Muslim Somalis, hence it's AL-QAIDA's duty to liberate Somalia.

Good question, this is a good quesion given that it was asked under cincere circumstances. Well, Every incursion has both short term and long term aims. here word from the grapevine has it so Kenya will at worst retake control over it's northren disctricts( specially the costal districts at the border with Somalia) those became AL-QAIDA/ AL-SHABAB hub as of late because of the social dynamics of those districts, and Kenya will hopefully tilt the volotile military situation in southren Somalia to the favor of Somalia's TFG , the majority of the Somali people and the international community. So yes, this incursion is already showing to be more successfull than expected, and to the disappointment of those who support the terrorits, it is not strengthning AL-SHABAB on the contrary , AL-SHABAB took severe military and political blows as their days became less numbered since the incursion got underway.

The Kenyans and forces loyal to Somalia's Western-backed transitional government have secured the towns of Tabda and Afmadow, which is about 120 kilometers (75 miles) east of the Kenyan border, Emmanuel Chirchir said today by phone from the Kenyan town of Garissa. Heavy rains have slowed the troops' advance, he said. "The next town is Kismayo," he said. "The troops are ready for anything. If it takes us to December they are willing to celebrate Christmas there."

These declarations are not in keeping with anything like what you announce. Also can we clarify who the TFG allies are in these regions? Surely you realize the likes of the Ras Kamboni group on the border, aren't that divergent from AlShabaab? If you are against their principles( a valid stance) Im not sure how much of a stark departure such groups are. Are they even capable of maintaining whatever territories are gained once the Kenyans leave? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
