Clashes escalate in Somalia, 2 hours after the deadline of ultumatum Heavy fighting erupted between Somali Islamists and government troops backed by Ethiopian forces, a day after the expiry of an Islamist ultimatum for Addis Ababa to withdraw Rival forces pounded each other with heavy shells and rockets near the seat of government in Baidoa, about 250 kilometres (155 mile) northwest of the capital Mogadishu, and hundreds of terrified civilians fled the battlezone. The leader of the Islamists, Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys, nevertheless said the clashes on two fronts were "a small incident" pitting his forces and Ethiopian troops and not the government. "There is heavy fighting which I think could result in many casualties," Islamic commander Sheikh Mohamed Ibrahim Bilal told earlier. Government commander Ibrahim Batari confirmed the fighting, accusing the Islamists of mounting the attack. "There is shelling everywhere... our forces are facing Islamists, hell is going on," he told "I can't tell you the casualties but there is fighting everywhere today," he added. Both sides claimed victory in the clashes that occured in Adale and Mote Mote trading posts, south and east of Baidoa. "The fighting was a small incident," Aweys told a reporters in Mogadishu after a meeting with European Commissioner humanitarian chief Louis Michel. "We had a meeting with the EU and the meeting was significant and it ended in mutual understanding," Aweys added, without elaborating. Fighting erupted overnight Tuesday in Idale, a trading post about 60 kilometres south of Baidoa, two hours after a seven-day deadline the Islamists gave the Ethiopians to pull out or face major attacks. The government said its forces had defeated Islamists who stormed Idale overnight Tuesday, sparking artillery duels that claimed at least 12 fighters -- 10 Islamists and two government soldiers. Commanders said the fighting had spread to Mode Mode, a key stronghold of the Islamists, and the army garrison in Deynunay, about 25 kilometres east of Baidoa. "The fighting is so fierce, but government forces are still controlling Deynunay," said Issak Adan Mursaley, a resident in Deynunay. Residents said hundreds of civilians fled the battlezones in southern Somalia, where nearly a million people have already been affected by heavy flooding. "People have already started fleeing (from the area) and there are a lot of armed forces from both sides," Muhidin Ali Mursal, a resident of a village near Idale, told Michel, who earlier held talks with President Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed in Baidoa, said the Islamists had agreed to resume talks with the government. "We are happy the the Islamic courts have agreed to resume peace talks without pre-conditions," Michel told reporters. The Islamists, who control swathes of southern and central Somalia and are accused of links to Al-Qeada, have already declared a holy war on Ethiopian forces and claimed first blood in recent skirmishes with Addis Ababa troops. Deputy defence minister Salad Ali Jelle said the Idale fighting was led by Sudanese national, Abu Taha al-Sudan, one of three extremists wanted by Washington. "Al-Sudan, the terrorist is leading the Islamic courts militias in the fighting," said Jelle. "We have information that he is the one who attacked us is Idale." Ethiopia has sent several hundred military trainers and advisers to help the government, but denies widespread reports it had deployed thousands of combat troops to Somalia. But Addis Ababa said its officers in Somalia were not involved in the clashes. "So far none of our advisers has been attacked," Zemedkum Tekle, the spokesman for Ethiopian information ministry, told Analysts have warned that a war in Somalia would engulf the whole region, drawing in Ethiopia's arch-foe Eritrea, as both countries are accused of fighting a proxy war in the lawless country. But Eritrea President Issaias Afeworki downplayed the fears, saying Ethiopia was worsening the situation. "I don't see war in Somalia. War between two nations in the Horn of Africa, I don't see that happening," state-run newspaper Eritrea Profile quoted him as saying. Somalia has lacked an effective administration since the 1991 ouster of dictator Mohamed Siad Barre and the two-year-old government has failed to exert control across the impoverished nation of 10 million people. olol.us Chicago USA

^^^Ayoub news is only relevent when it is new.

^^^Ayoub, aagain you say nothing new. The Ethiopians you speak of are in Berbera and Hargaysa and their influance is as strong on Somaliland as it is in Baidoa. Time for talking is finished and the Clan Courts will take the blame, it is them who atatcked the TFG and not the other way, as for Xaji indaCade tryinng to prove a point and we will see where that takes him. The TFG has yet to attack, but I doubt it will wait much longer. indacdae commenting on clahses

^^^You are coreect on Puntland being part of TFG, thus news coming from that source might be biased. Howver any news coming from Somalia will not be objective. This is what the goverment is saying, thus it is up to the other side to refute it.

^^^When one secsionist runs out of breath another one takes over. Ayoub, look at my latest posts, my stance is the same as ever that the TFG is the only credible NATIONAL entity in Somalia, my support for it is 100%. Thus what you are implyinng is nosical, as for Ethiopia, they are our allies, as much as they are yours. Thus dont get all Red Sea with me..

^^^No, I am reporting the latest news, it matters not what position you take. Also Gagab is not an apointee of President Yusuf or the TFG. He is a leader from Puntand and he was giving hi side of the story.

^^^Saxib, Mr Gagaab is is part of the delegation led by president Cade Muse who have been in Baidoa for the past three days.. I hope that answers your question.

^^^lol. I have said it before, do not ask me how I feel, refelct on your position.

^^^Shame on you, if you belive your fellow Muslim brothers and kinsmen want to massacre you. Thus you defeat your own argument, I'm asking you personally. Does it bother YOU that there are Somali Muslims slaughter for political greed fuel by power hungry yaxaasyo…? Thus do some inner reflecting, I know where I stand.

^^^Ahmed, you may say you are a mole, I am not for anyone. Socod, brother, it is not me who declared and then back out of an all out Jihad. If this is the all out war that one has to fear, then I am sorry for you..Baidoa has not fallen, the foreign support and troops are coming and they even agreed to go back to talks. Their offensive has faltered, this only strengthens the TFG. Thats my point. If you have anything else to add go, but dont tell me to eat humble pie, when I ahve not even lost.

^^^lol. Saxib stick to your delusions, the clan courts are your masters after all. I expect to hear from, Bambo, Olol and the powers behind the courts, not the comanders assistant.

^^Juje, I was just being fair mate. Bothe parties are playing a role in this.

^^It bothers me that my nation is divided and have been throught my whole life. It is the single greatest dilema I have faced. Having no country and being in exile most of my life. Also ask the aggressor, who are attacking, why? Ask the likes of Red Sea, who have been praying for a war in the south, while defedning their clan feifdom in the North west. Saxib, dont act like you have the moral high ground. After all you are a scesionist noh?

^^^Thats just a silly question. You need to ask that to both parties and not me.

Ahmed, why the anger, so far I have refrenced, Allpuntland [which basicly translated news from AP, REUTERS & others] , waayaha.net, somaliweyn, puntlandpost and so on. You have sourced nothing other that your own inner clan hatred.

Here is Horn-Afrik's take on the news..no claim of victory Also look at the claim of "Ethiopia" Vs Courts. This is amazing.. This is anotehr indication of a major set back since when ever they have a set back it is against Ethiopia, and never to a Somali group. Dadaaladii ay waday Beesha Caalamka ayaa u muuqda kuwo guud dareystay ka dib markii uu dagaal culus ku dhexmarey duleedka magaalada Baydhabo ciidamada Itoobiya iyo kuwa maxkamadaha Islaamka xilli uu magaalada Baydhabo booqanayey, Louis Michel oo ah mas’uul sare oo ka tirsan midowga Yurub. December -20-2006 HornAfrik, Mogadishu. Dagaalkii ugu cuslaa ayaa maanta markii ugu horeysay wuxuu ku dhexmarey deegaanka Daynuunaay ciidamada maxkamadaha Islaamka iyo dowlada Itoobiya :eek: iyadoo qasaare aad u culus uu ka soo gaarey labada dhinac. Warar kala duwan ayaa ka soo baxaya qaabkii uu dagaalkaasi u dhacay iyo cida rasmi ahaan gacanta ugu haysa Daaynuunaay. Illaa iminka dhinacaya isa soo horjeeda deegaanka Daynuunaan waxa ay kala sheeganayaan gacan ku haynta oo 30Km koofur bari kaga beegan magaalada Baydhabo dhinaca Buurhakaba. Inkastoo dhinaca deegaanka Iidaalle ay u dhacday maxkamadaha Islaamka hadana dhaawac yadii kasoo gaarey dhinacyadii ku loolamayey deegaanadiisi isku haya qaybo ka tirsan gobalka Baay. Dagaalka ayaana soo baxay saacado yar ka dib markii uu magaalada Baydhabo uu gaarey Wafdi ka socda midowga Yurub oo uu hogaaminayo madaxa arimaha bani`aadinimada iyo hor marinta Louis Michel. Dagaalka ayaana noqonaya kii ugu horeeyey oo si toos ah u dhexmara ciidamada Itoobiya iyo xoogaga midowga maxaakiimta Islaamka oo iyagu gacanta ku haya goobo badan oo ku yaala koofurta iyo bartamaha wadanka Soomaaliya. Maxaakiimta Islaamka ayaa soo baxay ka dib markii ay ka guuleysteen hogaamiyaashii dagaalka ee lamagac baxay Argagiso la dirarka oo iyaga la rumaysnaa iney taageero siin jirtay xukuumadda Washington.

^^^NN, the good Sheikh Fiqqikhayre, is playing mind games with people. As for the news, the news, it was meant as some consilation for their 7 day Jihad threat. Yusuf IndaCade had to wipe the eggs from his face some how.

Ahmed, you need to get your head stright son. These clashes will not gain any advantage to the clan courts in fact, all it does is play into the hands of the TFG. The courts have already broken the UN resoloution by attacking the TFG. The fighting has spread to Bur-Hakabo and thus a reversal for the courts who are claimming to be 20km west in Danuunay. One important fact that gives confidance to the TFG story, is that Shabbele,Hornafrik and other clan court media are trying to be even in their coverage, when this only happened when the courts are on a backfoot. Hence if they thiught they were winning they would not be so fair.. Anyhow watch this space. This is a breaking story and thus we must wait for the dust to settle.

So much for an all out attack, the aim of the whole recent clash was to startle the TFG meeting the EU delegation. This is yet another example of the agression of the Clan Courts. The clashes started near Idaale, and then spread to Qansax-dheere and Burhakabo. The latest news is that the TFG forces have pushed back the courts in Idaale and the fighting is raging in Bur-Hakabo itself.
