Fighting exploded between Islamic Courts Union (ICU) forces and the “official” Transitional Federal Government (TFG) of Somalia Dec. 20, just as the ICU’s deadline for Ethiopian troops to quit the country or face a declaration of “jihad” expired. Rocket, mortar and machine-gun battles since have centered on the area around Baidoa where the TFG is based. But ICU leaders emphasize that they consider the real enemy to be the Ethiopian forces. “We are at war with Ethiopia, but not with the (Somali) government,” ICU leader Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys told Reuters by telephone. (Reuters, Dec. 21)
The International Committee of the Red Cross reported that the fighting has claimed dozens of lives, and that that hospitals and clinics in the region have received at least 200 wounded since Dec. 20. (KUNA, Dec. 22) Hundreds have also fled their homes, especially in the Daynuunay area, and the towns of Baidoa and Buur Hakaba have swelled with internal refugees. (KUNA, Dec. 22) International aid agencies have issued an appeal for $35 million to help deal with more than 34,000 already displaced by Somalia’s fighting. (SomaliNet, Dec. 20)

This is to all my somalian brothers.As an Ethiopian it pains me that we are dragged to another senseless war by our dictatorial,child killer ,american puppet of our socalled regime.This war has nothing to do with Ethiopia and Ethiopians.This is solely a weyane war supported by the champions of democracy,America and the socalled samaritan westerrn governments.We Ethiopans are suffering under this brutal regime.Somalians!!we are with you not against you.Please obliterate the false information that the war is with Ethiopia.May God be with you!!
In today’s very competitive
In today’s very competitive world, civilized people all over over the world are reserching to find the most effective ways to solve human problems. Civilization is all about improving the human condition. Civilization while trying to improve the human condition, it also tries to maintain a healthy, productive and sustainable environment. Unfortunately in this century, the Arab and African people are not contributing anything to civilization. Here is one example, an asian nation, South korea, had about 17000 patent rights in the year 2005, in the same year arab people of all countries have less than 300 patent rights. The arab mind is preoccupied to do evil things, while the korean mind is trying to solve problems and improve the human condition. Arab people, from very young age are thought to hate and lie by their parents and their community. My Advice to Somali brothers is not to follow the Arab example of terrorism, hate and lie.
Dear sirThe fighting is b/n
Dear sir
The fighting is b/n Tigers and Somales. It is not b/n Christians and Moslims. If you are hero fight only Tigers.
i agree. the united states
i agree. the united states should stop its war of terror and its war on islam. for if it doesnt it will be sorry when muslims rule the world ishalllah.
Lesson from history:
One can be a good neighbour of Ethiopia only in peace, not war. When faced with enemies, we have the history of winning numerous wars. Surprisingly, the Somali militias have not recognized this and claimed land from Ethiopia before they even control Somalia. The declared they are enemies of Ethiopia. Believe me, this is a costy mistake. Neither Somalia nor the militia will benefit, but lose the opportunities they started to foresee.
Haile
Weyane will come out of Somalia humilated
Haile the Weyanay,
Make no mistake.Weyane will cramble in a matter of months.As usual, You will be back to Dedebit (u know what to do…melemegn).All rebel groups inside Ethiopia are sharpening their sword to slay Meles.

The soldiers found in Somalia don’t belong to ethiopian, they are Meles’s soldiers. Try to isolate the people of ethiopia and the Murderer government please. We all are brothers’ of somalia people. Try to understand it please.

tigray.we dont need to hear the history of menilik or h/selassie.
fuck them up .we have our souverine nation.tigray live for ever
Do not lie
Never in world history does Somalia defeated Ethiopia. We know each other very well. Let alone the impoverished Somalia European colonial (your past masters) never defeated Ethiopia. Nevertheless, this should not lead us to war. As neighbours-religions aside-we can leave peacefully. We have to be frank and assertive in critically seeing which side is making mistake and critising even our own side if they do the mistake. Stop this blind propoganda and stop lies.
