US-EU joint statement on Somalia - Thursday, May 12, 2005 at 00:33 Richard Boucher, Spokesman Washington, DC May 11, 2005 "The United States and the European Union welcome Somali efforts to conclude an agreement on the relocation of the Somali Transitional Federal Institutions to Somalia, including the efforts of the Somali parties to facilitate demilitarization in Mogadishu, which should be incorporated into a national plan as soon as possible. "The Somali reconciliation process is at a critical stage. There is an urgent need for a viable agreement on relocation and security endorsed by the Transitional Federal Institutions. In order for this process to succeed, the Somali people, through the Transitional Federal Institutions, must make their own decisions regarding how best to relocate to Somalia and begin the gradual process of establishing governance. "The European Union and United States urge all Somali parties to continue their efforts towards reconciliation and dialogue and quickly come to an agreement that will facilitate the relocation of the Transitional Federal Institutions to Somalia. "The European Union and the United States also welcome the visit of Prime Minister Ali Mohamed Ghedi to Mogadishu. This visit represents a positive step forward in the reconciliation process. We deeply regret, however, the incident of May 3rd at Mogadishu Stadium during the Prime Minister’s visit and we extend our condolences to the families and relatives of the victims." 2005/504 Source: http://usinfo.state.gov/xarchives/display.html?p=washfile- english&y=2005&m=May&x=200505111303381CJsamohT7.587832e- 02&t=livefeeds/wf-latest.html ------------------------ Daily Press Briefing Richard Boucher, Spokesman Washington, DC May 11, 2005 INDEX: SOMALIA : US-European Union Joint Statement on Somalia MR. BOUCHER: Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. If I can, I'll talk about a couple of things. It's a tough one. We've put out a statement with the European Union together on Somalia and support for a process underway there that Somalis are undertaking... QUESTION: Can you anything more about the genesis of the statement on Somalia that you put out today? Is there -- is there a working group between the U.S. and EU? MR. BOUCHER: We have been in close consultations with the European Union in order to support the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia. We strongly support the establishment of a functioning central government in Somalia. It's time to bring Somali people out of a very long period of civil conflict and address the international community's concerns regarding terrorism. So we have worked together with them, consulting frequently with the Europeans. I don't know if you know, but the United States is the largest bilateral donor to Somalia -- $30 million in the last year -- and that goes to provide assistance to Somalis, but not any direct assistance to the Transitional Federal Government. So we work closely with the Europeans. I think we're all looking at the same goals that -- to reestablish effective government for Somalis so that they can live in peace and prosper. And we'll work -- to continue to work together with them in that regard. QUESTION: Obviously, you know, the draft of the statement is encouraging the transitional government to set up in Somalia. Would the United States and EU be willing to support this financially? MR. BOUCHER: As I said, we are indeed trying to help Somalis. You'll have to ask the European Union about whether -- to what extent they're willing to support the government itself. But I think as we said, the installation of government in Somalia, as you see in the statement, is really a matter for the Somalis to decide how to go about that and to decide how to do that with the support of different people inside Somalia and in the best possible manner so that the government is established effectively and accepted in Somalia.

In the end, it took five Marine assaults, grenades, a tank firing bunker-busting artillery rounds, 500-pound bombs unleashed by an F/A-18 attack plane and a point-blank attack by a rocket launcher to quell them. WHAT A FIGHT U KNOW AS LONG AS GOD IS ON YOUR SIDE U JUST CAN'T LOST NO MATTER WHAT. LET THE AMERICAN'S BRING OUT WHAT EVER BUT THEY WILL KNOW THAT THE WAR IS FAR FROM OVER.

QUOTE: SOO MAAAL: think you should stop the nonsence, the era of warlords and mayhem ended for good. U KNOW BROTHER U TALK THE TRUE I LIKE THAT IT'S OVER OF THE WARLORDS IN SOMALI THE FINAL STEP TO TAKE THEM OUT IS ON IT'S WAY IT'S A TRUNING POINT IN SOMALI HISTORY THAT WILL BE REMEMBERED FOR EVER. MAY GOD BE ONE THE SIDE OF THOSE THAT ARE FOR THE GOOD OF SOMALI.

Insurgents in western Iraq fight to finish ‘They came here to die,’ Marine sergeant says USMC via AFP - Getty Images An image released Tuesday by Marines shows mortar rounds and a BMW automobile, the making of a car bomb, discovered in Anbar province. By Ellen Knickmeyer Updated: 6:43 a.m. ET May 11, 2005JARAMI, Iraq, May 10 - Screaming "Allahu Akbar'' to the end, the foreign fighters lay on their backs in a narrow crawl space under a house and blasted their machine guns up through the concrete floor with bullets designed to penetrate tanks. They fired at U.S. Marines, driving back wave after wave as the Americans tried to retrieve a fallen comrade. Through Sunday night and into Monday morning, the foreign fighters battled on, their screaming voices gradually fading to just one. In the end, it took five Marine assaults, grenades, a tank firing bunker-busting artillery rounds, 500-pound bombs unleashed by an F/A-18 attack plane and a point-blank attack by a rocket launcher to quell them. The Marines got their fallen man, suffering one more dead and at least five wounded in the process. And according to survivors of the battle, the foreign fighters near the Syrian border proved to be everything their reputation had suggested: fierce, determined and lethal to the last. • More Iraq news "They came here to die," said Gunnery Sgt. Chuck Hurley, commander of the team from the 1st Platoon, Lima Company, of the Marines' 3rd Battalion, 25th Regiment, that battled the insurgents in the one-story house in Ubaydi, about 15 miles east of the Syrian border. "They were willing to stay in place and die with no hope," Hurley said Tuesday. "All they wanted was to take us with them.'' The fighting that began Sunday in Ubaydi was an unplanned opening phase of a massive Marine offensive in Iraq's far northwest against the foreign fighters who U.S. and Iraqi commanders say are crossing the Syrian border to join the Iraqi insurgency. By Monday, more than 1,000 Marines backed by Cobra helicopters and Hornet warplanes were pouring into an area north of the Euphrates River where few American troops and no Iraqi forces have been for at least a year. U.S. commanders say they believe that foreigner leaders of the insurgency have established a refuge north of the Euphrates they use to channel incoming fighters, arms and support to insurgents in the rest of Iraq. "We're taking down an enemy safe haven," said Lt. Col. Tim Mundy, commander of the 3rd Battalion, 2nd Regiment, which along with the 3rd Battalion, 25th Regiment, did the bulk of the fighting at Ubaydi. U.S. officers say the most-wanted insurgent leader in Iraq, Jordanian-born Abu Musab Zarqawi, is being sheltered among tribal leaders in Haditha and Hit, two towns 80 and 110 miles downriver. The Americans say Zarqawi was almost caught in February at a checkpoint between the towns. Other sightings since have placed him in other towns on the south side of the Euphrates. In Haqlaniyah, Zarqawi felt bold enough to preach a sermon at a mosque, according to at least one report to U.S. forces. U.S and Iraqi officials blame Zarqawi and other foreign fighters for many of the insurgency's bloodiest attacks, including suicide bombings that are claiming dozens of lives almost daily in Iraq. Fighting continued Tuesday north of the Euphrates, where the Marines' heavy-caliber weapons, mortars and artillery could be heard booming across the green river at dusk. At least three Marines have been killed in the offensive. Marine Col. Stephen Davis, commander of Marine Regimental Combat Team 2, said he believed at least 75 foreign fighters were killed Sunday alone, after the offensive opened prematurely with the clash at Ubaydi. The ambush At noon Sunday, Marines were waiting on the bank of the Euphrates for U.S. Army engineers to finish erecting a temporary bridge when insurgents opened fire from Ubaydi, less than a mile away. They fired AK-47 assault rifles at helicopter gunships overhead and pounded the waiting Marines with mortar rounds -- including one that landed yards from a Humvee carrying the operation's commanding officers. The Marines pressed against the walls of a ruined home for protection and waited for the mortars to stop. When they did, one officer said: "Let's go to Ubaydi." Lima Company and a company from the 3rd Battalion, 2nd Regiment, entered the town. Insurgents -- dozens of them, Marines said later -- met them with AK-47 fire and rocket-propelled grenades. In the first hours, one Marine was killed and at least seven were wounded. Lima Company battled its way through town, at one point exchanging fire with fighters on a the roof of a mosque and forcing them down. The mosque's loudspeakers screamed Arabic that the Marines could not understand, but they said that since it was past time for prayers, they assumed the loudspeakers were rallying forces for attack.

Somalia: Mogadishu Stadium rocked by large explosion Tue. May 03, 2005 08:35 am. Somali Prime Minister Mr. Ali Geddi was in a middle of long speech in the stadium which was packed by government officials, foreign and UN delegates, and thousands of Mogadishu residents when the whole building shook and deafening sound followed. Seven people were confirmed dead and about a dozen wounded. The cause of the explosion is now leaning toward accidental anti-tank missile firing although people at the scene described it as an attempt on the prime minister’s life. He left the stadium right away unharmed. Whether it was an accident or deliberate attack, innocent people who came there because of their deep hunger for justice, equality and true government lost their lives today. Somalia has been without central government for over a decade now. The new government was setup in Nairobi, Kenya last year and it is now trying to relocate to Somalia. A lawless country filled with all types of weapons and people who have not been governed for a long time await Mr. Geddi and his government.

Somali PM unhurt in stadium blast, 10 dead - Tuesday, May 03, 2005 at 14:38 By Mohamed Ali Bile MOGADISHU (Reuters) - At least 10 people were killed by an explosion at a soccer stadium in Somalia's capital Mogadishu where the prime minister had just addressed hundreds of supporters on Tuesday, witnesses said. Prime Minister Ali Gedi escaped unhurt and talked to reporters shortly afterwards, saying he was in shock. The cause of the blast, just days after Gedi's arrival in Mogadishu on a trip to mend a rift in the fledgling government, was not immediately clear. Lawlessness has continued to plague Mogadishu despite the formation of President Abdullahi Yusuf's Transitional Federal Government in the relative security of neighboring Kenya last year in an attempt to end 14 years of chaos and bloodshed. Seven people were killed at the stadium, one was killed by a vehicle escaping the scene and two others died on their way to hospital, witnesses said. Officials at three hospitals said they were treating a total of 35 wounded. The powerful blast destroyed a wall of the stadium and witnesses said they saw lots of blood at the scene. Gedi flew to Mogadishu on Friday for the first time since his appointment last year to try to end a rift in his government and shore up sagging confidence in efforts to rebuild the broken country. Foreign governments and donors have put increasing pressure on the new government to return home. But cabinet ministers and members of parliament are split over which city it should initially be based in -- a dispute that stems from power struggles among rival clans and regional powers vying for dominance in Somalia, diplomats say. MPs aligned to Yusuf say they want to temporarily relocate to the relatively calmer cities of Baidoa and Jowhar. Others insist the government should return to Mogadishu, Somalia's single most dangerous place, which the transitional constitution stipulates must serve as the capital. Yusuf has asked African and Arab states to supply 7,500 troops to help disarm the militiamen roaming Mogadishu since warlords overran the Horn of Africa country in 1991, ousting military dictator Mohamed Siad Barre. However, militant Islamists and influential warlords - some of whom are in the government - have vowed to attack troops from so-called frontline states of Kenya, Djibouti and longstanding rival Ethiopia if they are deployed.
