Heavy fighting erupts in Mogadishu

[Hiiraan boy]

MOGADISHU (Reuters) - Insurgents attacked the Somali interim government and their Ethiopian allies and battled for nearly an hour on Tuesday, shortly after mortar attacks were aimed at Ugandan peacekeepers who had just landed in Mogadishu.

At least two civilians -- a 25-year-old man and 40-year-old man -- were killed as at least 100 insurgents attacked the government base at the former defence headquarters in Mogadishu's industrial area, a local reporter said.

"They are fighting with rocket-propelled grenades and heavy machineguns," said local reporter Anab Mohammed, who was trapped by the gunfire at a nearby hospital.

It was not immediately clear if there were any casualties in the earlier mortar strikes on Mogadishu's international airport, where more than a dozen explosions could be heard.

A contingent of about 350 Ugandan soldiers had landed just hours before, the first peacekeepers to enter the city in more than a decade.

Insurgents suspected to be a mix of Islamist militants defeated in a December war by the government and Ethiopia and clan militiamen have vowed to attack any peacekeepers or government allies.

They have mounted almost daily attacks since the government took over the capital in late December.

The Ugandans are the vanguard of an African Union force to help the government tame a country mired in anarchy since the 1991 ouster of dictator Mohamed Siad Barre.

The last peacekeeping mission there -- a well-funded U.S.-U.N. operation -- ended in a bloody withdrawal in the mid-1990s after relentless fighting with heavily armed local militiamen.

Brave patriots who deserve nothing less than respect and our gratitude.

Mogadishu has already fought for its freedom during UNISOM, we will fight again with the same vigor and bravery.

This time all quarters of Mogadishu city will participate in this struggle as this time it is is our arch-enemy Ethiopia with Norteastern chearleaders.

Not only the National Security and Interest of the free Somalia we knew is at stake

but also the General Security and Interest of Hawiye is at stake.

If we fail, Somalia will become a statelite-state of the Tigre's and Northeastern puppets will enjoy being the administrators of this new Kilinka 6aad.

Because of this serious situation, the people of Mogadishu have a tremendous responsibility in keeping the capital of Somalia independent and free from foreigners, especially Ethiopians and their ex-Somali puppets.


There is no space for errors. All traitors and opportunists which might derail the national liberation struggle must be isolated and decimated. No mercy must be given to these groups as the freedom of Somalia and its Capital are at stake.


Surely, the righteous ones always prevail.

''This time all quarters of Mogadishu city will participate in this struggle as this time it is is our arch-enemy Ethiopia with Norteastern chearleaders.''

This time people of Mogadishu are UNITED firmly against Northeastern Tigre Lovers and their Tigre masters.

We will deal with traitors, tigre puppets and political prostitutes without mercy.

Every Hawiye individual that collaborates with the enemy of the people must be executed. No mercy for cowards and traitors among ourselves. No mercy for traitors and puppets among the Somali people!

8,000 "peacekeepers" should be just enough to ensure a decent, continuous level of violence.
