Mogadishu

Heavily armed Ethiopian soldiers with armored vehicles have raided in Gubta settlement in Somali capital Mogadishu early on Tuesday morning, conducting security operations there.

According to residents in Gubta, Ethiopian forces were mercilessly beating civilians with batons and thick clubs in Gubta.


The bodies of two brothers have been found in Gubta where Ethiopian forces have been conducting house to house security operations.

One of the two brothers killed by Ethiopians was Koranic school boy aged 13 while the other was donkey rider aged 30.

The two dead brothers' mother, Halimo Abdullahi Abdi, told Shabelle radio by phone that the bodies of her sons with gunshot wounds were brought to her by the local residents late on Tuesday. She had been noticed that Ethiopian soldiers shot her sons dead.

The tearful mother in cracky voice told Shabelle her elder son was shot with 3 bullets while the younger was hit with a single bullet which brought their sudden death.

The bereaved family was depending on the deceased elder son, he was sustaining his family, while their father already lost his sight years ago and became blind.

There is no comment from Ethiopian side as usual about their daily incursion and killings against innocent children and defend less Somali citizens in Somalia.

It is not for the first time that troops from Ethiopians slain innocent civilians in Somalia especially in Mogadishu, the capital. It was last month when Ethiopians have killed three young men aged about 15 to 18 from one family in Mogadishu.

"All young men run away whenever they set eyes on Ethiopians in uniform", says Somali mother with six children. All my sons fled from the capital due to Ethiopian soldiers' mercilessly killings against our children, said the mother in loud voice.

Meanwhile, Ethiopians have returned to their bases in the capital after brief security operations in districts like Wardhiglay, Yaqshid and other locations in the capital.

I said it once, I will say it again, this is the price for supotring insurgency. ALWAYS, it is the civilian populatin that supports an insurgency that pays the highest price. Many of you arm chair cheerleaders here on the net have said things "No matter the cost". Well, this is part of the cost.

Quit preaching and suggest something else. This is a war of annihilation, they are here to clean the city and leave no single soul behind. And do you expect us to support them and then we all can become second class citizens in our country.

''this is the price for supotring insurgency. ALWAYS, it is the civilian populatin that supports an insurgency that pays the highest price''

Why do the civilian population support freedom fighters? Is it a coincidence?

They support it because they are against occupation, and resistance fighters are their brothers, sons, and fathers.

Resistance fighters are no aliens,,,,they are from the civilian population.

Anyways, rest assured: Washington will never achieve its goal through the merceneries of Addis Abbeba.

3 oct 1993, was the watershed moment in relations between Washington and Mogadishu.

"Why do the civilian population support freedom fighters? Is it a coincidence?"

It doesn't matter why. It doesn't matter who is right, who is wrong. I am telling you what happens and, more importantly, what will happen. Just as I did last year.

"They support it because they are against occupation, and resistance fighters are their brothers, sons, and fathers."

And that's why the Ethiopians kill their brothers, sons and fathers.

"Resistance fighters are no aliens,,,,they are from the civilian population."

That was kind of my point.

"Anyways, rest assured: Washington will never achieve its goal through the merceneries of Addis Abbeba."

Washington ALREADY achieved it's objective. None of the possible outcomes at this point makes a difference.
