^^April fools was shaleyto warya!

Tahil, dont be hard on yourself. You are on the right side of the fence as are many others who hail from the north east. When the dust settles so to speak will the TFG fans realise the absudity of their support.

Oo kaaley, Sufism wali wadanka waa jooga miya?

Peace/truce deals with the Xabshis while all the TFG goons are shouting 'obliterate' including El Presidante from a cave in Baidabo/Kenya/Ethiopia. Our SOL Ethiopians are thinking 'damn it, i though adeero had some clout'. Begs the question just who is charge? :confused: Any remaining credibility for the TFG has gone!!!!!!!! A govnt in name only :rolleyes:

lol Whenever the word 'Suffi' comes up i remember my uncles stories. He was in Xamar for a vacation back in the 80s and made his way to pray Asr. As he approached a particular mosque he hears loud music/drums/banging (whatever they do) and thinks to himself 'waar ma Michael Jackson baa ka ciyaaraya'? Loooooool He is a funny man!

Sometimes its good to have such discussions in general for maximum exposure. Will listen when everyone has left the office.

Fighting in Somali Capital Continues By SALAD DUHUL Associated Press Writer MOGADISHU, Somalia -- MOGADISHU, Somalia -- Mogadishu's dominant clan said Sunday it has brokered a truce with Ethiopian military officials who are supporting Somalia's government, even as mortar shells continued slamming into the capital for a fourth day. Ahmed Diriye, the ****** clan spokesman, said fighting in Mogadishu should end within hours. Ethiopian officials were not immediately available for comment. Somali government troops and their Ethiopian allies have been waging a fierce offensive since Thursday to wipe out Islamic insurgents, sparking some of the heaviest fighting in 15 years in the capital. Untold numbers of civilians have been killed and hundreds wounded. The offensive has focused on parts of the capital controlled by a clan that is a major supporter of more radical elements of the Council of Islamic Courts, which ruled Mogadishu for six months before being driven out in December. That clan is the **** *****, a branch of the larger ****** clan. The International Committee of the Red Cross said dozens of people have been killed since Thursday and more than 220 wounded, most of them civilians with bullet, grenade and other wounds. But the fighting is so severe and widespread that bodies were not being picked up or even tallied. Hospitals were overwhelmed, with patients sleeping on floors. "The victims are the civilians, only civilians are dying and getting wounded in this fighting," Khadijo Farah Warsame, 45, a mother of seven, said Saturday. Ethiopia says its forces have killed more than 200 insurgents since the assault started. Somali presidential spokesman Hussein Mohamoud Hussein on Saturday blamed the violence on foreign terrorists, saying al-Qaida had sent fighters to battle government and allied troops. "These elements were behind the downing of the helicopter yesterday," he said. The insurgents are linked to the Council of Islamic Courts, which was driven from power in December by Somali and Ethiopian soldiers, accompanied by U.S. special forces. The U.S. has accused the courts of having ties to al-Qaida. The Islamic courts stockpiled thousands of tons of weapons and ammunition during the six months they controlled Mogadishu. The insurgency will likely last until that stockpile is depleted, or key leaders are killed. The militants have long rejected any secular government and have sworn to fight until Somalia becomes an Islamic emirate. Clan elders have tried to negotiate several cease-fires, but cannot control the young insurgents. The U.N.'s refugee agency said 58,000 people have fled violence in the Somali capital since the beginning of February. Somalia has been mired in chaos since 1991, when warlords overthrew dictator Mohamed Siad Barre and then turned on one another. A U.N. peacekeeping operation in the 1990s saw clashes between foreign troops and Somali fighters, including the notorious downing of two U.S. Black Hawk helicopters in 1993 -- which was followed by a firefight that killed some 300 Somalis in 12 hours. The U.S. withdrew from Somalia in 1994, and that was followed a year later by the departure of U.N. peacekeepers. A national government was established in 2004 but has failed to assert any real control. source

Shelling continues in Mogadishu Peacekeeper killed A Ugandan soldier was killed by artillery in Mogadishu in the first death reported by African peacekeepers in the Somali capital, a spokesman said on Sunday. Major Felix Kulayigye, a Ugandan military spokesman, told Reuters: "Our troops were guarding the presidential compound on Saturday when it was struck by mortars. One of our soldiers was killed." The AU has sent 1,200 Ugandan troops to help the government, but they have been attacked by the armed groups. Other African nations are baulking at sending more peacekeepers to boost the AU force to its planned strength of 8,000. AJE

^^what are you saying man? The stadium is in hands of Somalis? How reliable are your sources?

ARMY vs Civilians, 4 days and still no objectives achieved for the ARMY. Heavy losses for the ARMY, no news on losses of insurgents.

LoL I would love to see that.

Abdullahi Ahmed Gedi said: "The mortar hit our house. My wife and my daughter died at the same place, and also my brother died immediately from the attack. They used to help me walk, because I am disabled, and now two other members of my family are also injured." This is the worst fighting I have ever seen in twenty years the Union of Islamic Courts and Ethiopian troops are both to blame i have just witnessed my cousin being raped as i was hiding as she would call my name but i could do nothing but hide and cry as i watched her suffering. Anon, Mogadishu http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/6515061.stm

AK47s, RPGs and pick up trucks vs Tanks, Helicopter Gunships, well trained and organised ARMY. We know who the true victores are!

Artillery fire, mortar shells rain down on Somali capital Sunday, April 1, 2007 By SALAD DUHUL ~ The Associated Press MOGADISHU, Somalia -- Artillery fire and mortar shells rained down on Somalia's capital Saturday, killing and wounding untold numbers of civilians as government and Ethiopian troops tried to wipe out Islamist insurgents. The offensive, which started Thursday, has sparked the heaviest fighting in Mogadishu since the early 1990s. On Friday, insurgents shot down an Ethiopian helicopter gunship and mortar shells slammed into a hospital, leaving corpses piled in the streets and wounding hundreds of people. "The victims are the civilians, only civilians are dying and getting wounded in this fighting," said Khadijo Farah Warsame, 45, a mother of seven. The International Committee of the Red Cross said dozens of people have been killed since Thursday and more than 220 wounded, most of them civilians with bullet, grenade and other war wounds. But the fighting is so severe and widespread that bodies were not being picked up or even tallied. Hospitals were overwhelmed, with patients sleeping on floors. "All the commercial areas have closed, all the markets, all the stores, and now the people are looking for food. Where can we buy food?" said Farah Hassan, a 50-year-old resident. Ethiopia says its forces have killed more than 200 insurgents since the assault started. Somali presidential spokesman Hussein Mohamoud Hussein on Saturday blamed the violence on foreign terrorists, saying al-Qaida had sent fighters to battle government and allied troops.

The U.S. withdrew from Somalia in 1994, and that was followed a year later by the departure of U.N. peacekeepers. A national government was established in 2004 but has failed to assert any real control. The administration, with crucial support from Ethiopian troops, toppled the Council of Islamic Courts in December, but insurgents with links to the group have staged attacks nearly every day. Waves of people have crossed the border into Kenya, raising concerns that Islamic radicals could be trying to hide there. On Friday, a senior Kenyan police official said six officers in Garissa, near the border, were arrested and accused of aiding "possible terrorists" from Somalia or Ethiopia. Forty-five Somalis have been detained since Friday, police said. http://www.semissourian.com/story/1196323.html
