Ethiopian troop reinforcements arrive in Somalia: witnesses

MOGADISHU, April 6, 2007 (AFP) -

Dozens of Ethiopian troop reinforcements headed to the Somali capital after flying into a nearby town local residents told AFP on Friday, five days after a shaky ceasefire took hold in Mogadishu.

Residents of Baidoa, 250 kilometres (150 miles) northwest of Mogadishu, said two Ethiopian planes landed on Thursday carrying dozens of Ethiopian troops, who left for Mogadishu overnight.

"I have seen two huge military planes. They arrived at Baidoa airport in the afternoon (Thursday). They carried a lot of Ethiopian troops," said Mohamed Aden Abdi, who lives near Baidoa airport.

"I have seen some nine military vehicles in the street. They were going towards Mogadishu."

Another resident, Abdullahi Isak, said he saw five vehicles carrying dozens of troops heading in the same direction.

Ethiopia denied it had deployed more troops to Somalia.

"This is not true. There are no additional troops to Somalia," a spokesman from the Ethiopian information ministry, Zemedkum Tekle, told AFP by telephone from Addis Ababa.

"It is getting calmer and calmer and there is no need to do that. We have pulled out almost two-thirds of our troops from Somalia and there is no need for further deployments."

An Ethiopian offensive just over a week ago triggered four days of the worst fighting in Mogadishu in more than 15 years. Hundreds of people were killed and tens of thousands forced to flee.

On Monday Mogadishu residents said hundreds of Ethiopian forces had joined deployments in the south of the city. Ethiopia said it was strengthening its positions but had not deployed more troops.

On Friday brief exchanges of weapon fire and shelling could be heard in the early hours near Mogadishu's soccer stadium, where Ethiopian troops have been facing off with Islamist insurgents and clan fighters since Sunday.

Most residents have fled the area, and the nearby Al Kamin neighbourhood.

Ethiopian forces helped the Somali transitional government drive Islamist fighters with alleged links to the Al-Qaeda network out of south and central Somalia some three months ago.

Eyes are you ready to quit yet, or do you want more dead Hawiye?

Dhabacyo are really slavers wallahi..

Like Costa iyo Mad mac but she is gaalo..

The Can bring all ethiopian troops to mogadishu...

Cause hawiye will never loose in mogadishu

[eyes-only]

Mac, walaal....I myself don't like wars and fighting unless I have to. I've never started a fight in my life but when someone starts on me, I never quit whether boy or girl and I've never lost.

I can't speak for all the resistance, but I doubt the hawiye would ever quit and live under occupation. The important thing to mention here is, if someone wages a war on you...you have to fight and defend yourself. Ethiopia illegally invaded Somalia, attacked Somalis and is now murdering innocent civilians. The hawiye fighters will continue fighting for their freedom, land and people.

Our independence and freedom is not something we can stop fighting for...our dead people have not died for nothing...

Victory will be ours Insha'Allah

I wish for all freedom fighters a victory. wixi qabil o daga lama yana ayagay jirta.

Do you want the Ethiopian troops to withdraw? Then stop fighting them. Eventually, they'll pack up and leave.

You say they are murdering innocent civilians. What makes you think they are innocent.

What kind of nonsense is that ? Are you suggesting they roll over and spread their arse cheeks for these stinking pigs ? As for innocence, you KNOW!!! they are innocent, because they sure as hell aren't killing the Blessed Mujahidiin. But you're just revelling in the discomfort the forummers feel at what's been happening. You're too learned to have us believe you think otherwise.

Insurgents or Mujahedin or whatever the fock you want to call them can not operate with a civilian base that provides them aide and comfort. This is a fundamental pre-requisite.

If the Hawiye were to simply stop fighting, and act civilized, and worked with the TFG, the Ethiopians would wihdraw. Pretty simple really. If that doesn't happen, and the Hawiye insist on fighting, then you will see a lot of civilians, innocent and otherwise, dead. Your decision. Just don't whine about the obvious consequences.

[michael_ital]

Can't quit, because the Mujahadiin are the righteous, while the Ethiopians and their poodle's are the tyranny of evil men. The odds of fate are against them, therefore in the long run, they CAN'T win. Much in the same way that in every illegal or unrighteous operation the US has engaged in, they lost dramatically. From Vietnam, to South America, and now to the Middle East. They can't win for losing, even with technological superiority. Why ? Because they're on the side of wrong. They'll never win.
