War is about Will and Reinforcement. Hawiye people lack neither.
The Tigre troops do not have enough man power to defeat Hawiye and Somalia. They are moving their troops around from El Cirfid to Afgooye. The troop movement has already worked in the enemy disadvantage. Laamiga Balcad iyo Xamar wuu furanyahay.
Now, if the Tigres are bringing new forces in why would they abondon such a strategic point that require them more man to be captured again.
The Ethiopian forces stationing around El-Irfid settlement in northern outskirt of the Somalia capital are reported to have abandoned there heading to Afgoie town, 30km south of the city to reinforce the Ethiopian soldiers fighting the insurgents as the Shabelle Al-Adala correspondent reports on Saturday.
Residents told Shabelle Radio that the Ethiopian soldiers moved the compound mid last night. The traffic on the road to Balad town which has been blocked over the past week resumed to its normal.
But there were fears over that the Ethiopian forces might leave mines on the ground.
The road linking Mogadishu to the northern district Balad has been sealed since last week after an Islamist suicide bomber driving car mounted with explosives attacked the Ethiopian barracks killing dozens of Ethiopians.
Somali’s government soldiers were left at the compound where the Ethiopians deserted and are also preparing to leave there.
