We have just called Mogadishu. The Ethiopians armed with 100 urals and 20 tanks and towing equipments were left to pass the main road to Pasta factory. The AC130 were dropping some smoke bombs and other bombs on the front line freedom fighters. The Ethiopians haven't taken over any place! They simply drove on the main road till they got to the compound of the Pasta factory. That is all they have done. So Geedi is lying again as usual. The reason why the Ethiopians were left to drive through was militarilly strategic, I was told. Tonight we will learn about the fate of the Ethiopians camped in the Pasta factory.

^^We simply wanted to see peaceful Somalia but not Ethiopian occupied Somalia. But his days are up and he's going down.

^^Peacenow, I really don't know how to thank you. You and Xanthus are really doing superb job. I think we also need to find away to influence think-tanks to carry out research on this on-going catastrophe. Anti-war coalition and student bodies (such as the socialist students) also need to be informed so as to help in organizing a massive demo. Most importantly, the MCB and other Islamic orgs can play a great role. I have some contacts with some Islamic bodies and University ISOCs. I will try to contact them. If you know anyone in this orgs please arrange to meet them and explain what is happening to them. Then we can meet up all at once, all of us plus the contacts of these organisations and bodies to discuss further plans for a massive demo. I am sure my former Uni's Somali society would be able to arrange a meeting place, other university Somali societies have enough resource also. Lastly- do you know any contacts of Somali or Islamic student association in a university or college? If you do- please try to contact them. I will do that myself. Thanks a bunch.

British think-tank blasts Ethiopia, US over Somalia Wednesday, April 25, 2007 LONDON (AFP) - US and Ethiopian military intervention in Somalia has hampered international efforts to bring peace to the war-torn country, an independent British report said Wednesday. "Genuine multilateral concern to support the reconstruction and rehabilitation of Somalia has been hijacked by unilateral actions of other international actors -- especially Ethiopia and the United States -- following their own foreign policy agendas," the report from the Chatham House foreign affairs think-tank said. The installation of a new Somali government in early 2007 with Ethiopian backing and US support to counter a rise in Islamism, plus the arrival of African Union peacekeepers, was "highly provocative", it said. Eight days of ongoing violence between Ethiopian forces and Islamist guerillas in the Somali capital Mogadishu has claimed at least 329 lives, according to a tally from a human rights group. Similar battles at the end of last month claimed at least 1,000 lives and thousands of civilians have now been displaced. Chatham House researchers Cedric Barnes and Harun Hassan said support for the brief Islamic Courts regime that came to power in Mogadishu in 2006 is likely to re-emerge. "This experience (the unrest) dramatically underlines the benefits of the brief period of 'Islamist' authority in southern Somalia which already begins to seem like a 'Golden Age'," they said. Barnes, from London's School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), and Hassan, from the Somali Media Centre, said people do not trust the government and it does not represent the powerful interest groups in Mogadishu. "Whatever the short-term future holds, the complex social forces behind the rise of the Islamic Courts will not go away," they said. "Indeed, while warlords and secular governments have come and gone, the Islamic Courts have enjoyed relatively consistent support for over a decade. "They have tended to garner support when the populace are fed up with insecurity and ineffectual and corrupt politicians. "For these reasons alone, as well as the likely long-term failure of the Transitional Federal Government's reliance on foreign protection and unwillingness to reconcile with armed opponents, the forces behind the Islamic Courts -- in one form or another -- are likely to rise again."

If you are in London or around London, and you want to show your oppose what is happening in Mogadishu, please PM me. We need to meet up as soon as possible. The civilians are being bombed mercilessly and the Americans have joined this bombing campaign. We need to organise ourselves as quickly as possible and organize a demonstration. Letter writing is very important but it is not very suficient considering what is happening in Mogadishu right now. Lets do something for change.

There are some reports that the people of Mogadishu are being sprayed with poisonous chemicals. This has been the cause of the Courts defeat, it has been alleged. The former courts' soldiers were systematically sprayed with chemicals causing immediate death, hence Ethiopia's easy progress to Xamar. I hope this news is untrue.

Hmmm good topic, MMA. Time we face our demons. Now what do you call more than 21 years of systematic resource/opportunity allocation based on favouritism? 'Legalized and Wholesale Booliqaran', that is what it is.

^We will, Xanthus, we will.

Even I supported the SOB. Darn.

Adigu kaftan ayey kaa tahay Jacaylbarow, balse, rag aan aqaano waa ka dhab . Aqli mee! And like Xanthus suggested, go away from this topic . NGONGE, Lol@Father4Justice I really think such a tactic would work but as you said a protesting Muslim in Britain is considered a potential terrorist. There is no longer freedom for expression for Muslims NGONGE. So we must only engage in effective communication of vital messages to the media and the public. I think we can do that by organizing a well planned demo and then simultaniously calling up a press conference. Send the press and internet news sites notices of the press release- send it to them after the conference. What do you think? Xanthus, I am have a good feeling that there would be other joining us .

^^I think that was the whole point, NAA. To make them think twice. Unlike Nigeria where workers are taken hostage and released, here they are killed. A clear message.

^^Lol Dhucdhuc. Xanthus thanks. I am taking notes.

^How about big boys and girls accidentally fall on top of each other and something clicks. So after 3 months the tummy starts to swell .
