More than 1,000 Somalis rally in Minneapolis

MINNEAPOLIS

More than one-thousand Somalis rallied in Minneapolis to protest Ethiopia's military intervention in their homeland.

The gathered yesterday at Peavey Park, singing, chanting and holding up signs that said, "Ethiopia out of Somalia." Police estimated the crowd at 15-hundred.

Thousands of Ethiopian troops entered Somalia before Christmas and on Friday took over the capital city of Mogadishu, which had been controlled by the Union of Islamic Courts.

Many at the rally objected to the U.S. government's description of the Islamic Courts as a terrorist group and the Bush administration's support for Ethiopia.

Minnesota's large Somali community is divided over the issue. One supporter of Ethiopia's offensive was quickly escorted away from the protest by police, to the cheers of the crowd.

I'll make a deal with ya. I'll do that if you first get between the sheets with Meles and Yusuf, and be the meat in a gay boy sandwich.
