Send them packing boys,,,,,,, Witnesses: Ethiopians troops pouring into Somalia By MOHAMED SHEIKH NOR – 17 hours ago MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — Ethiopian troops are pouring into neighboring Somalia to fight radical Islamists who have taken over much of the country, raising fears of more violence in a country fighting a deadly insurgency and piracy, witnesses and the Somali government said Tuesday. The Ethiopians' advance comes just weeks before they are scheduled to withdraw after an unpopular, two-year presence here. The Ethiopians are integral to protecting the Western-backed government, and their planned withdrawal at the end of the month will likely herald the administration's collapse. Dahir Dhere, a Somali military spokesman, said the Ethiopians are "helping the Somali people and they will get rid of al-Shabab," referring to the extremist Islamic group that is advancing steadily toward the capital, Mogadishu. The phone of Ethiopian foreign ministry spokesman Wahde Belay rang unanswered. Somalia has been in chaos for nearly two decades, and the country's Western-backed transitional government has failed to assert any real control since it was formed in 2004. Ethiopia — the region's military powerhouse — sent thousands of troops here in late 2006 to help oust the Islamic extremists, who soon launched an Iraq-style insurgency. The Somali troops and their Ethiopian allies have come under near-daily attack from the militants. The Associated Press interviewed nearly a dozen residents of towns near the Somali-Ethiopian border, who say troops from Ethiopia have been streaming into the country in recent days. In Balan Bal, another town on the countries' border, hundreds of Ethiopian troops riding 14 military vehicles entered the city Monday, said resident Ahmed Sheik Roble. "The Ethiopian troops took positions at a former military base and a police station," he said. "Some of the troops started to dig trenches while others started to patrol the city." The United States fears that Somalia could be a terrorist breeding ground, and accuses al-Shabab of harboring the al-Qaida-linked terrorists who allegedly blew up the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998. Ethiopia recently announced it would withdraw its troops by the end of this month, leaving Somalia's government vulnerable to insurgents, who have captured most of southern Somalia and even move freely in the capital. The Shabab declared an Islamic state in a region of southern Somalia on Sunday, establishing posts including a governor, security official and chief judge, according to the U.S-based SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors extremist sites. The declaration is the latest sign of the Shabab's steady advance.

Well done! 20 young doctors graduate in Somalia, 1st in years By MOHAMED OLAD HASSAN – 14 hours ago MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — They dodged firefights on their way to school, maneuvering through one of the world's most violent cities. Yet on Thursday, 20 men and women accomplished something that nobody in Somalia has done in nearly two decades: They graduated from medical school. The graduation ceremony for 12 men and eight women was held inside the barricaded walls of the Shamo Hotel in Mogadishu, the bullet-scarred capital of a country that has not had an effective central government since 1991. "The graduation of these students shows something that nobody outside Somalia can believe — that students can still learn despite violence and anarchy," said Mohamed Malim Muse, president of Mogadishu's Benadir University. The new doctors are graduating at a time when Somalis desperately need medical care. The current government was formed in 2004, but has failed to assert any control as an increasingly powerful Islamic insurgency has taken over much of the country. Civilians have taken the brunt of the violence — thousands have been caught in the crossfire, killed or maimed by mortar shells, machine-gun fire and grenades. Two classmates of the new doctors were gunned down recently in the street. Earlier this week, Mogadishu got its first public ambulance system in 18 years, raising hopes residents will no longer have to resort to wheelbarrows to transport their wounded. "Every morning I was risking my life to reach the university, and about seven times I was trapped under crossfire," said 19-year-old Hafsa Abdirahman Mohamed, whose mother lives in London and helped her pay the $1,500 annual tuition. "But that did not stop me, and now my dream is real," said Mohamed, who like the other graduates will work at local hospitals, busy but poorly equipped institutions in a city that sees mortar attacks and gunfights nearly every day. The United Nations says there 300,000 acutely malnourished children in Somalia. "The level of malnutrition in Somalia is higher than anywhere in the world, even higher than in Darfur," Christian Balslev-Olesen, the head of UNICEF for Somalia, said Thursday. But attacks and kidnappings of aid workers have shut down many humanitarian projects. "If we get a good and functioning government we can be a leader among African universities, regardless of security, because we know how to survive in anarchy," said Abdirizak Yusuf, 25, head of the medical students' association at Benadir. With the men wearing suits and ties and the women in Muslim headscarves, the graduates smiled for a portrait and hoisted their diplomas in the air after a six-year program. Given Somalia's chaos, it is likely the medical degrees will be recognized only in Somalia, not overseas. Somalia is notorious for its violence and poverty. But through nearly two decades of violent anarchy, life has carried on in this gun-riddled country, where militiamen rule the streets and piracy flourishes off the lawless coast. Despite the lack of a functioning government, there is electricity for those who can afford it, wireless Internet access — even a university education, some five years after the education ministry made a push to reopen some schools. There are about 500 students at Benadir University, studying everything from medicine to teaching. The teachers at the school became doctors during the regime of dictator Mohamed Siad Barre, who was overthrown in 1991 by warlords who quickly turned on each other. Since then, the country has plunged into chaos and public institutions have crumbled, transforming this once-beautiful seaside capital into a looted shantytown. Somali's deputy foreign minister, Abdikarin Ahmed Ali, also saluted those who made Thursday's graduation possible. "I am very grateful for the teachers and parents who have shown dedication and resilience to educate and produce qualified doctors and teachers, despite the insecurity and lack of funds," he said. AP Writer Malkhadir M. Muhumed contributed to this report from Nairobi, Kenya.

Somalia will have lease out it's agriculture operations for a period of 15 years while at the same time putting in place measures/frameworks to ensure Somalis know how things are done at the end of that period.

Quite disturbing and insightful at the same time. 36 shots before the age of 6 is just crazy! Reer MN need to heed this gentleman's advice and organise themselves.
