Somaliweyn Media Center (SMC) Ethiopian warplanes have for the first time started air strikes on Somali civilians in Hiran region of central Somalia, leaving many ordinary people dead, while ferocious war carries on central and southern Somalia regions.
Reports from Hiran says the Ethiopian helicopters bombed Kalabeyr village some 25km from Beledweyn, the provincial capital of Hiran, as heavy fighting between the Islamic courts forces and the Ethiopian occupiers still keeping on the border.
“Four warplanes of Ethiopian army are bombing here, they are using excessive power by eliminating civilians” Abdi Ahmed, a local resident told SMC by phone.
Abdi said also the Ethiopian helicopters with guns firing the city, killing many people and left many others injured.
He also pointed out that the Ethiopian warplanes also destructed many apartments in the city and cut roads to stop military aid towards the Islamists forces, warring on the border.
On the border between Hiran and Ethiopian skirmishing between the Islamic forces and the Ethiopian troops still continuing, as many Somali life devotees are on their way to the border to take part the battle.
Amin DaÂ’ad, the local commander of the Islamic courts forces told they repelled attacks from the enemy, hoping that the upper hand will be with them.
Sources said the Ethiopian troops took Jawil village and other villages in Hiran. But the Islamic courts officials are yet to confirm this report.
Local residents say if the Ethiopian air strikes continue, they will take Beledweyn, the provincial capital, because of lack of power to put down their warplanes.
The battle also is continuing in Banidiradley of Mudug region in central Somalia and Deynunay, near the seat of the western backed Somalia government.
The international community goes on with ignoring the Ethiopian aggressive war on Somalia, saying only that the government and the Islamists must stop the war, while the fighting is between the Ethiopian occupiers and the Islamic courts
