Somali government recaptures southern town, over 100 killed

 

Sun Dec 24, 6:41 AM ET

 

IDALE, Somalia (AFP) - Ethiopian-backed Somali troops have recaptured the southern Somali town of Idale from Islamists in clashes that claimed at least 100 lives, an AFP correspondent on the scene said.

 

Defence Minister Barre Shire Hirale confirmed that the government seized control of the township, about 60 kilometres (40 miles) south of the government seat of Baidoa.

 

"We have recaptured the town," Hirale said Sunday. The Islamists seized Idale after deadly clashes on Saturday.

 

The correspondent saw more than 100 bodies in the township, which was the first frontline when war erupted Wednesday, hours after an Islamist ultimatum for Ethiopian troops to pull out or face major attacks expired.

 

Residents said the Islamists fled down south towards Dinsoor, about 120 kilometres (75 miles) south of the capital.

 

The seizure comes as a joint Ethiopia-Somali government ground assault began on Beledweyne and Bandiradley early Sunday, widening the conflict that has threatened to engulf the entire Horn of Africa region.

 

The Addis Ababa government on Sunday acknowledged its troops have launched a counterattack against Islamist forces in Somalia, saying its "patience has been exhausted" and "Ethiopia has started to use its rights for self defence".

 

"The Ethiopian defence forces have started counterattacking today, so basically the counterattack is taking place on the ground," a government spokesman told AFP.

 

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said on Friday the fighting around Baidoa, the seat of the government, had left "dozens" dead.

 

The government claims its Ethiopian-backed forces have killed more than 500 Islamist fighters since Wednesday, while Islamists speak of killing at least 70 enemy combatants in the same region.

He loves his country and countrymen. He wanted to negotiate and agree with his fellow countrymen, before accepting any foreign peacekeepers. He would have accepted Uganda or Sudan in that part of Somalia. He saw the only way to save somalia was establishing a federal government where every region governs itself.

 

ICU forced the man to choose untimely. If any somali needs a clear indication that ICU means trouble for everyone in the region, look no further than ICU not being able to negotiate with the defence minister.

 

ICU was never interested to negotiate with him. ICU must have some ugly secret that it doesn't want to share with anyone.

Suldaanka-

 

Adeer-ow horta meeshaad ka karkaraysid waan garanayaa kol horaana kuu sheegey, haatana dooni maayo inaan kuugu soo celiyo balse waxaan rabaa inaan ku iraahdo;

 

1. Sababtu dawlad-goboleedka Puntland ciidaankeedi yiil Ari-Cadeeye kasoo rartay ee nawaaxiga Gaalkacyo keentay soo maaha ka shidaal-qaadinta Somaliland ee ka shidaal-qaadato magaalada Addis Ababa ee u diiday inay furintigooda dhaafaan? Diin iyo wadaninimo hadii marba laga hadlayo, sow ismaadan odhan waxaa kugu haboon inaan taa ka hadashaa?

 

2. Dekeda Berbera sow maaha deked-u-gaar ah danaha Etoopiya ee waliba qiil aad siin jirtay eena ahayd meesha waxa hub iyo madaafiic ay Soomaaliduba isku baaba'iso laga soo dejinaye?

 

3. Sababaha loo xiraya suldaamada iyo odey dhaqameedyada dadka Somaliland ee u cod-dhiiba ku dhaqanka Shareecada Islaamka maaha amar idinkaga soo baxa wadanka Etoopiya ee aad iyaduna qiil u raadisiin ku salaysan dhawritaanka "jiritaanka" Somaliland sow maaha?

 

Soomaalidu waxay ku maah-maahdaa isma-oge Islaan dhaan, marka adigu kula yaabi maayo.

 

 

Anigu haatan Wasiirka Gaashaandhiga difaaci maayo, qiilna siin maayo sababtoo iyadu u ah waa nin dawladaa ku-meel-gaarka kamid ah, iyaduuna xilka u hayaa, iyaduuna kamid yahay, aniguna afhayeenka dawladaa maahi.

 

Balse waxaan odhan lahaa;

 

1. Shalay markay Axmaaro iyo cadowgu soo weerareen gobolkaayo Gedo ee Dollow iyo Luuq duqeynayse, nimanki Axmaaro u qori qaatuu ahaa kamid ahaa. Taana wadaadadu ICU'da iyo waxa la midka ahba waa waxay ogyihiin eyna dhowr mar ka hadleen.

 

2. Dorraad markay ummada Soomaaliyeed halaag iyo baaba' ka dhex abuurnayd, hogaamiyaha keliya ee Soomaaliyeed, ee macaa kamid tahay Somaliland, ayuu ahaa ee aan weligii Axmaaro hoos fadhiisan, hubna u doonan, taakulayne u doonan.

 

3. Shalay markay nimaanka ICU'da isu magacoween u dhaqaaqeen magaalada Kismaayo, iyagoo qiranaye amaalka ninkaa ay u hayaan, waa iyagi soo adeegsaday ciidan ajnabi iyo quwad shisheeye ee kamid yihiin Pakistan, Oromo, Eretreyaan, iyo qoloyin kale. Adigu iyo cid kale ee aan taa kala doodayana inaysan jirin waayo xaqiiqdeedu anigaa og laygana soo xigsan karayaa.

 

4.Markuu Baardheere tegey ee nimaankaane Kismaayo kasoo bixiyey cabsi daraadeed, watay Axmaaro Baardheere timi Barrena u balanqaaday ciidan, iyo cudud, iyo hub uu Kismaayo kusoo hanto ee laakiin ku ganac-sayre kuna diiday taakulayntooda. Markuu nimankaa fooda la darayne agagaarka Bu'aale waa iyagu quwad shisheeye iyo awood ajnabi ku tiirsanaa ee waliba ninkii hogaaminayey Cabdalle Al-Suudaani dokumiintigiisi gacanta lagusoo dhigay.

 

Nimaanka ICU'da iyagaa laga bartay howshaan, ta Soomaaliyana maanta kasocoto wax kale ee aan ahayn lagaa bartay, lagaa badiyey uma arko ee marka adeer adigu waxba meelaha ha maaraysan, fursad qaali ah yaad heshay mooyee.

Well anyone who is non-partisan to Somalia's tribal politics can see the truth. Let our young fellas from the north take the best from the moment ( ), even though, Ethiopian support to the army that captured Iidaale is not anymore beneficial to them than the one given to the opposing kind by foreign fighters.

Supporting the secession of Somaliland has not stripped some of their Somalinimo nor did wrapping oneself in the blue and white flag bestow it on those who do.
