MOGADISHU (Reuters) - Gunmen from the Somali Islamist group al Shabaab killed at least eight officers in a raid on a police station near the capital, police and the militants said on Saturday.

 

Al Shabaab fighters at about 1am local time stormed a police station on the edge of Afgoi town, 30km southwest of Mogadishu, killing eight officers and stealing three pick up trucks, including one that had a machine gun mounted on it.

 

"Al Shabaab killed eight of my colleagues and took three of our cars last night," Major Abdikadir Hussein, a police officer told Reuters from Afgoi.

 

"We traced them this morning, killed 10 of them and secured our pick up car with a gun hooked on," he added, saying the Islamists ran off with the other two vehicles.

 

Al Shabaab, which wants to topple a Western-backed government in Mogadishu, has in the past stepped up the number of raids during the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, which began on Wednesday.

 

The group's military operations spokesman, Sheikh Abdiasis Abu Musab, told Reuters his fighters had killed 12 officers in the raid on the Afgoi police station and lost one gunman in the second battle.

 

"This morning the police attacked us and after a fighting we burnt a police car. We left the pick-up car we had taken. One fighter martyred from our side," he said.

 

In the past, al Shabaab has exaggerated the number of soldiers it has killed, while officials have played down losses.

 

The latest assault highlights al Shabaab's ability to launch attacks even though it has lost territory and urban strongholds since a major military offensive against began last year.

There are photos on twitter showing the dead bodies of ethiopian soldiers. Lots of battle wagons and lots of assault rifles taken. A surprise attacked launched on an ethiopian convoy.

 

In another development in the early hours alshabab also attacked afgoye police station killing a number of tribalist federal forces.

 

 

This was also followed a few ago by a raid inside Kenya killing a number of Kenya soldiers.

 

The rapid and successive attacks being launched recently shows alshabab is able to adapt to its top leadership being killed off.

As someone who is not pro-alshabaab, i support the killing of invaders: Ethiopians, Kenyans and Amisom. Allahu Akbar.

Somaliland president is in Ethiopia to sign a few papers regarding negotiations to do with trade between somaliland and Ethiopia on going for over 3 years. It's not xaraam to have trade deals with non muslims. Somaliland and Ethiopia are naibours. It is islamic to live with your naibours in peace. Especially one with over 50 million muslims and over 5 million somalis.

 

 

Djibouti has a similar relationship. Those people who accuse somaliland of being subservient to Ethiopia hide their own failures. Somalia is a direct colony of Ethiopia why...? Ethiopian forces on the ground. Ethiopia chooses presidents I.e. abdullahi Yusuf, sharif sakin ahmed madobe etc.

 

 

No ethiopian soldiers in somaliland and it's people choose there own leadership. They have a good relationship with Ethiopia but so does every other country in the region other then Eriteria.

 

 

and also to be frank I personally perfer an eskimo to a southern somali. Jahil, dugaag, con artists. There is a reason why you people live in chaos and we don't. You have no culture, your leadership does not fear God. And your people are all jahils from the wadaads to the smallest child

Siilaanyo from kililka lixaad goes every year 3 times or more to Ethiopia.

What else u expect from a servant of the kuffar? I expected nothing else from someone whose forefathers washed the feet of the British.

 

 

The judgement is clear: if u take kuffar as awliyah then u are one of them!
