The United Nations Children’s Fund (Unicef) has appealed for extra resources to help thousands of severely malnourished children in Ethiopia. The organisation says more than 126,000 children could be affected. The World Food Programme says nearly 3m Ethiopians will need emergency food aid this year because of late rains and the high cost of food. A BBC correspondent who visited a feeding centre says she saw a child whose arm was as thin as a man’s thumb. Some aid agencies running food and medical units say they are being overwhelmed with cases. |

The History of Somali Communities in the Sudan since the First World War
Introduction:-
Sudan(AllBoon/HiilDan). Sudan and Somalia are connected historically through strong ties: religious, cultural and political. Sayyid Muhamad Abdallah Hasan, known to the British Colonial authorities in Somalia as the Mad Mullah, fought the colonizers from 1898-1920. The Sayyid was a disciple of Muhammad Salih al-Rasheed, the Sudanese, who propagated the Salihhya order in mekka. Al-Rasheed appointed Sayyid muhamad Abdallah Hasan as his deputy to spread the Salihhya teachings in Somalia. Due to the efforts of the latter, the Salihhya order ranked second to the Qaddriya order in Somalia in the nineteenth century. Other sources point to the actual participation of some Sudanese in fighting with the Sayyids troops against, the British and the Italians in Somalia. Also, the same sources direct attention not only to the impact of the Sudanese Mahdi on the Sayyid, but also to the possibility of their meeting at the port of Suakin in Eastern Sudan; though this event could not be confirmed or validated.

Diiradda Lughaya News: Faallo:Yuu Noqon Doonaa Guddoomiyaha Gobolka Cusub Ee Selel? Lughaya.com
Gobolka Salal oo ka mid ahaa gobolladii maalintaasi lagu dhawaaqay ayaa 2 bishan May xaflad ballaadhan oo si la yaable loo soo agaasimay loogu wanqalay, waxaana halkaasi lagu soo bandhigay barnaamijyo dabaal-deg ah oo kala duwan iyo cayaaro ku salaysan dhaqanka reer Salal.
Haddaba inkasta oo dulahaanba la filayo inuu muran badani ka dhalan doono gobolladan cusub ee S/Land ku soo kordhay ayaa waxaa durba soo ifbaxaya muran ku salaysan cidda hoggaamin doonta gobolkan Salal ama guddoomiye ka noqondoonta, sida ay wararku sheegayaan waxaa haatan ku muransan amaba ay mid walba halkeeda ka diyaargaroobaysaa beelaha kala ah Abrayn, Bahabar Celi , Bahabar Muse iyo Ciise oo dhammaantood wata xujooyin ay isleeyihiin waad ku hanan kartaan madaxnimada gobolkan cusub.
Sida la hadal hayo beesha Abrayn waxa ay rabitaankeeda kursiga ku salaynaysaa qodobbo ay badankoodu la xidhiidhaan taariikhda, tusaale ahaan Salal oo gobolkan cusub loogu magac daray islamarkaana ayna cidiba iswaydiin macnihiisa ayaa ah sida aannu ilo-xog ogaal ah ka helnay alle ha u naxariistee Salal Idris Caweer oo ka soo jeeda beeshaasi Abrayn kuna aasan dooxa Salal oo wixii ka danbeeyay xilligii uu ingiriisku degay loo yaqaan Ceel-Gaal.
Sidoo kale waxyaabaha ay reer Garbo-Dadar ku doodayaan waxa ka mid ah iyada oo ay wakhtigii Turkiga hayn-jireen hoggaanka magaalada Saylac, islamarkaana ay magacda dabiiciga ah iyo kuwa shakhsiyaadka ee deegaannadaasi saacidayaan sida gacan Abrayn oo dhowr KM u jirta magaalada Saylac iyo Godin Abrayn oo aan isaguna waxbadan ka fogayn, iyo waliba dhagaxa Shirdoon Qarni iyo xaafadda duugga ah ee Khoor-Dubai oo ka tirsan magaalada Saylac iyo Axmed Guray oo mudo badan kasoo talinayay boqortooyadii ADAL ee jabisay boqortooyadii ardul xabash.
Beesha Bahabar-Celi qudheeda ayaa iyana sida la sheegay dhacdooyin taariikheed u cuskanaysa doonista madaxnimada gobolkan, waxayna diiradda saartaa shakhsiyaad magac wayn ku lahaan jiray Saylac wakhtiyo hore iyo muwaadiniin qayb libaax ka soo qaadatay ololihii la dagaallanka gumaysiga sida Cali Dable, Jaamac Saylici, Xaaji Diide, Xaaji Kuul iyo Rag kale.
Beesha Bahabar Muuse oo la sheegay inayna labada hore kula tartami jirin deegaanka Saylac qarniyadii hore ayaa waxay wararku sheegayaan inay iyada lafteedu marroosinka aasatay halganna ugu jirto sidii ay u hanan lahayd guddoomiyannimada Salal, iyada oo cuskanaysa dhaxaltooyada maqaamka Sheekh Ibraahim Saylici oo ay in muddo ahba iska daboqabanayeen culimaa’udiin beeshaasi ka tirsan sida Sh.Warsame Birikoo, Sh.Kaariye Qowdhan iyo Sh.Maxamad Abaadir Shirwac oo illaa imika horjooge ka ah maqaamka.
Sidoo kale waxaa Bahabar Muuse ka soo jeeda taliyaha ciidamada xeebaha Jeneral Maxamad Ibraahim Xudhuun oo ay beeshaasi ku dooddo inuu tan iyo wakhtigii taliskii Ziyaad dhacay halgan iyo samir badan ku bixiyay daryeelka gobolkaasi Salal .
Aan u gudubnee beesha Ciise ayaa iyaduna aaminsan inaan gobolkan cusub cidiba kula doodi Karayn, maadaama uu tan iyo qaybo ka tirsan cahdigii Afwayne duqa Saylac ahaan jiray nin beeshaasi ka soo jeeda, illaa maanta oo gobolkan la magcaabayna Cumar Maxamad Xaddi (Cawad) guddoomiye ka yahay, islamarkaana ay xarunta gobokan ee Saylac u dhawdahay Djibouti oo ay beesha Ciise ka taliso, arrintaasina waxa ay aad uga muuqatay sidii ay Jamhuuriyadda Djibouti uga qayb-qaadatay xafladdii wanqasha SALAL inkasta oo ay tallaabadaasi wax wayn u dhintay sharciyadda Somaliland oo uu meel carrigeeda ka mid ah dal daris ahi xaflad ku qabtay amaba uu ka soo qaybgelay iyada oo aan casuumad loo fidin.
Isku soo wada duuboo dad badan oo siyaasadda ku xeel dheer ayaa qaba inuuna Salal ka talin doonin fannaan dal daris ah ka yimid balse ay qaddiyaddu u taal dadka gobolka deggan, waxaana farta lagu godayaa inay isku soo hadhi doonaan wareega u danbeeya beelaha Bahabar Celi iyo Abrayn oo labaduba cuskanaya deegaan iyo taariikh, inkasta oo mala awaal ahaan loo badinayo inay beesha Abrayn ku guulaysan doonto hanashada hoggaanka gobolkaasi, maadaama ay sida ay ku doodayso taariikh ahaan cid kasta kaga horrayso Salal, walaw ayna 40kii sannadood ee u danbeeyay wax muuqasho ama dhaqdhaqaaq ah lahayn sida ay dad badani qabaan.
Laakiinse maadaama ay beesha bahabar Celi badankeedu baryahan danbe qaadatay caqiidada xisbiga Kulmiye islamarkaana dorraad loo diiday C/raxmaan Saylici inuu xafladdii SALAL ka hadlo, waxaad mooddaa inay kor u soo kacayso rajada hoggaamiyannimada beesha Abrayn oo laga dhandhansan karo hab-dhaqankeeda xoogaa Udubnimo ah, waa haddii uu madaxwayne Rayaale xilka sii hayo, haddii kalena waagii baryaba waayo leh, waxayna dadbadani hadal hayaan guddoomiye ku xigeenka degmada Saylac Cismaan Muumin Caarre iyo Muscab Xirsi Cali oo ah wiil da`yar oo aqoonyahan ah oo ka tirsan guddiga doorashooyinka inuu midkood Salal guddoomiye ka noqon doono haddii uu xisbiga Udub xilka sii hayo.
Dhinac kale dadka qaarkood baa aaminsan inuu madaxwayne Rayaale intuu waxanba iska dhaafo Salal u soo magcaabi karo masuul ka soo jeeda beesha Aadan Yoonis tusaale ahaan, maadama uu sida ay dad badani qabaan madaxwayne Rayaale iska yaqaan xigto- u miiska kana soo qalin jabiyay Dugsigii Kacaanka.

Wargeyskii Tukaale
Boon Iyo Wargeyskii Tukaale
Sida qaalibka ah (As a matter of fact), kuma an dhalan Boon, waanse u dhashay, kuna barbaaray, waxanse ku dhashay una dhashay Gorayacawl oo wakhtigaasi Aabahay (suldaan Faras-cadde) ku hogaamin jiray ma jixinjixayaashii la odhan jiray GUNTI-GAABTA. Gunti gaabtu waxay ahaayeen ganacsadayaal ka difaaca ganacsigooda Xabashida iyo xulafadii u basaasi jirtay ee Koofiyad Dhuubta.! Aniguna wali halkii aynuunbaan ka taaganahay Xabashi iyo cid kasta oo u adeegtaba.
Wakhtgii an Boon si rasmi ah usoo degay waxay ahayd 1975 oo an ka bilaabay dugsigii H/Dhexe ee Boon. Dagaalkii 1977 ayaa isagun bilaabmay oo xigay. Isla sanadahaasna 77-79 waxa Boon ka bilaabmay wargays an wali aad u xusuusto oo socday ilaa iyo markii Boon iigu danbaysay ee 1981. Wargeyskan waxa lahaa Marxuun TUKAALE IBRAAHIM- GURAY (Raxmatullaah Calayhi). Wuxu ahaa Buug yar oo Tukaale dadka reer Boon oo dhanba uu ku weydiisan jiray inay wax ku qoraan.
TUKAALE, wuxu ahaa nin jimidh iyo joogba Ilaahay u dhammeeyay balse sanadahaasi (77-79) dhexdooda isku yar buuqay. Tukaale wuxu jeclaa in Buugiisa wax loogu qoro kadibna loo akhriyo. Hadaba Buugaasi yari wuxu noqday Wargeyskii ugu horreeyay ee Boon ka hir gala.
Waxanan ka mid ahaa dhalinyarada habeen iyo maalin kasta halkaas wax ku qora kuwa ugu badan. Xiisaha an u hayay af-soomaaliga oo qoraalkiisu igu cusbaa ayaan buugga Tukaale wax ugu qori jiray. Iyo tartan an kula jiray reer Boon oo an u immaday iyagoo af-soomaaliga ku wada gabya oo kuna wada bartay ololihii af-soomaaliga.! Runtii ma jiro guri reer Boon ah oo an laga heli karynin ugu yaraan hal qof oo af soomaaliga ku gabya kuna heesa ama ah gabayaa iyo heesaa. Waana mid ka mid ah mucjisooyinka Boon dheertahay dalka intiisa kale.
Tukaale, waxan ahayn daris oo labadayada guri waxay isku hayeen cidhifka. Waxan xusuustaa, Tukaale oo intuu isa soo taago kadinka gurigayga, kadibna igu yidhaahda: “Waryaa Garaad C/Qani, waar bal kaalay Huunno ii qor-qor Buugii”. Aniguna waxan ku odhan jiray: “Huunno Tukaale Maxaan maantana kuu qoraa”. Wuxu iigu Jawaabi jiray: “Waxad ii qortaa sheekadii waar Garaad hana madhin, waar garaad hanna madhin”.
Sida qaalibka ah, waxan ku bilaabay buugaasi inaan ku qoro sheekooyinkii Boqor Wiil-waal, gaar ahaan sheekadii ahayd waar Garaad hanna madhin. Tukaale (AUN) halkaas ayuu ka soo xigtay magaca Garaad, had iyo jeerna wuxu igu odhan jiray, Huunno garaad kaalay ii qor buuga. ALLAHAYOOW KUU NAXARIISO TUKAALE
Si kastaba ha ahaatee buugaas yar ee Tukaale, waxan ku tilmaami karaa inuu ahaa Wergayskii ugu horreeyay uguna danbeeyay ee maalin iyo habeen laha ahaa, ee Boon kasoo baxa. Wuxu la mid ahaa sida shabakadaha caalamiga ah ee imika oo kale, oo wuxu lahaa Forum laysku dacaayadeeyo iyo qayb wararka lagu soo qoro, qayb wax lagu sawiro iwm, qayb suugaanta ah iwm. Aduu wuxu la mid ahaa uun sidaas shabakada SaylacNews oo kale, marka macal Forumka lagu daro.!
Balse, wakhtigani xaadirka ah, waxay Boon leedahay shabakado inkasta oo wali lagu jiro sii ballaadhin tooda. Dhalinyarada reer Boon, gaar ahaan facii wakhtigaasi Tukaale noolaa iyagu wax qori jiray, in badan ayaa ka nool oo ku kala baahsan dunida. Waxan odhan karaa facii 1975-1981 wax ku bartay Boon, waxay ahaayeen kuwii ugu tirada iyo tayada fiicnaa ee kasoo baxa Boon. Meel kasta oo ay joogaana waxan ka codsanayaa INAY:
- Wargeyskii Tukaale dib u xusaan dibna u habeeyaan,
- shabakadaha iyo wargeysyada kale ee Boona aad u ballaadhiyaan.
- Taariikhda Boon ururiyaan oo noo soo gudbiyaan
- Isku xidhnaanta iyo wada jirka dadka reer Boona aad ugu guntadaan
- Xeer iyo xaagaan Boon leedahayna ku xarriiqaan qalinka oo laysku xukumo
- Hadday Xoog milatari u baahdaana Gorayacawl weydiistaan.!
Sidaa iyo Waxay Boon ku tidhi ayaan ku nidhi. !

Illegal Fishing
Africa: Illegal Fishing Costs Continent Sh62 Billion

The scale of illegal fishing across Africa is now so serious that it is in danger of decimating stocks across the continent, a new report says.
The report represents the first detailed quantitative analysis of the problem on a global scale and studies indicate that losses for sub-Saharan Africa total $1 billion per year.
Britain‘s minister for Trade and Development, Mr Gareth Thomas, said that the scale of illegal fishing could be double earlier estimates with weak international governance hampering progress in tackling the problem.
His comments follow publication of the ‘Global Extent of Illegal Fishing’ report which reveals that global annual losses from illegal fishing could be double earlier estimates at $10 to $23 billion (between Sh62 and Sh142.6 billion) annually.
The report follows a similar recent study by the Institute for Security Studies which says that that the scale of illegal fishing now threatens around 10 million African people who depend on fishing for an income.
ISS is currently monitoring the level of destruction of fish stocks off the Kenyan and Tanzanian coasts in a research project which will be published soon.
The culprits in the devastation of African fishing stocks are large-scale commercial fishing companies most of whom originate in the European Union and Asia.
Depleted stocks
Not only are such fleets overfishing in African waters, having depleted fishing stocks around European Union and East Asian shores, but the loss of fishing stocks is being compounded by the way the fishing fleets go about their business.
Firstly, the ISS report says that large amounts of unwanted fish are dumped at sea because they are not considered lucrative.
Secondly, is the way in which the fleets operate, using harmful fishing methods, such as nets and long-lines that indiscriminately damage the ocean bed or kill birds, dolphins and other marine animals.
Mr Thomas said that illegal fishing is a persistent global problem which is having a chronic effect on developing countries.
“People and countries who can least afford it are losing out – many developing countries generate more revenue from fish exports than coffee, cocoa, sugar, bananas, rubber and tea combined,” Mr Thomas said.
“For a family in Africa, it’s about the father no longer being able to go out and earn a living because the area’s been over-fished by illegal trawlers.
“Governments are not doing enough to protect their natural resources -countries such as Namibia, Iceland and New Zealand have understood this and ensured their fish boosts their economies, but many developing countries are missing out. We can turn this situation around but only if governments act now to protect their communities from criminal operators.”
Big trawlers
Ghanaian fisherman, Mr David Quaye, 63, said: “I come from a fishing family -my father was a fisherman and my brothers are fishermen and I am secretary of the local fishermen’s association.
A long time ago, when we were fishing there were no big fishing trawlers and if there were, there was a particular zone for them where they fish. Now these bigger, foreign fishing trawlers are mixed with the local fishermen.
“Illegal fishing has cost our fishermen a lot. Formerly they get fish, they get money, they send their children to school. But now they are not able to give to their family.” Mr Thomas said that the international trade in fish is worth over $80 billion a year with more than half of that from developing countries.
“DFID has led the way in developing the voluntary partnerships between the EU and exporting states to tackle illegal logging – we need to apply this approach to illegal fishing.”
But the ISS report said that part of the problem is that African governments “often simply lack the necessary capacity and expertise and are, therefore, easy targets for predatory fishing vessels.
The task of combating the myriad forms of criminal activities involved in commercial fisheries requires significant infrastructure and spending. An effective strategy to combat illegal fishing will also involve strong regional co-ordination.
“African governments also lack the necessary political will. This may partly stem from insufficient concern about sustainable and responsible use of the oceans.
However, equally worrying is the empirical link between proxies of ‘bad governance’ and rates of illegal fishing. Countries where corruption is endemic are particularly ineffective at combating criminal activities and the reason for this may include politicians and public officials being complicit in crimes.”

A Rotten Day For Gorod Boon!!!!
Cripes! Boris takes London (and rounds off a
rotten day for Gordon Brown)
.
Boris Johnson rubbed salt into Gordon Brown’s wounds last night by winning a sensational victory over Ken Livingstone in the election for London Mayor.
Labour’s gloom at suffering its worst council election results for 40 years deepened when Mr Johnson, the colourful Tory MP and journalist, ended the political career of Mr Livingstone after eight years as Mayor.
In a major coup which handed David Cameron a landmark double election victory, Mr Johnson won 1,168,738 votes (53 per cent) to Mr Livingstone’s 1,028,966 (47 per cent) after the second preferences of people who backed the other eight candidates were redistributed to the two front-runners.
Mr Johnson won 1,043,761 first-preference votes, Mr Livingstone 893,877. Brian Paddick, the Liberal Democrat candidate, trailed in third with 236,685.
After the result was declared just before midnight, Mr Johnson paid a generous tribute to Mr Livingstone and hoped London would continue to benefit from his “transparent love” of the city. He said his victory did not mean London was now “a Conservative city” but did mean the party could be trusted again.
An emotional Mr Livingstone said the fault for his defeat was “solely my own”. His voice trembling, he said: “You can’t be Mayor for eight years and then if you don’t win that third term, say it was somebody else’s fault.”
Labour sources said Mr Johnson had won by piling up a mountain of votes in outer London suburbs in a £1m campaign. Labour could not match the high turn-out of Tory supporters in its inner London strongholds. In Bromley and Bexley alone, the Tory candidate amassed a huge 81,382 majority over Labour, winning by 122,052 votes to 40,670 in the first Mayoral result declared.
Mr Johnson started the race as an outsider with little chance of ending Mr Livingstone’s reign at City Hall. Allowing him to become the Tory candidate was seen as a gamble by Mr Cameron after a chequered political career. Now the Tory high command will be keen to ensure Mr Johnson does not make embarrassing mistakes as Mayor, which could put a cloud over Mr Cameron’s attempts to portray the Tories as a government-in-waiting. A strong team of experienced advisers is expected to be appointed by the incoming Mayor.
Mr Livingstone’s fall from power will send shockwaves through Labour. His ratings were consistently 10 points ahead of his party’s national figures – yet he still lost. His defeat highlights the scale of the fight-back Mr Brown needs to give Labour a chance at the next general election.
A battered and bruised Mr Brown is struggling to restore his authority after suffering a humiliating setback in his first elections as Labour leader. In the party’s worst council results for 40 years, Labour lost more than 330 seats in local elections on May Day, finishing third with a 24 per cent projected share of the vote behind the Liberal Democrats (25 per cent) and the Conservatives (44 per cent).
Less than a year after he succeeded Tony Blair with high hopes of enhancing Labour’s electoral appeal, Mr Brown had to promise to listen to the unmistakable message from the voters who had rejected his party.
Mr Brown conceded that the local results were “disappointing”. Speaking in Downing Street, he said: “My job is to listen and to lead. We will learn lessons, we will reflect on what has happened and then we will move forward.”
Mr Brown pledged to steer the country through difficult economic times and prepare for the prosperity that would follow. “The test of leadership is not what happens in a period of success but what happens in difficult circumstances,” he said. He said he needed to show “strength and resolution as well as the conviction and ideas to take the country forward”.
Tessa Jowell, the Minister for London, conceded that the voters had given Labour “a pasting”. She said the Government had to conduct a conversation with ordinary people rather than inside “the Westminster village”.
Labour’s heavy losses exceeded the party’s worst nightmares. Officials had predicted the loss of only 200 seats because many of those contested were last fought in 2004, when Labour did poorly and won 26 per cent of the vote amid a backlash over the Iraq war. In the event, Labour did even worse on Thursday.
The huge 20-point gap between the two main parties sparked comparisons with similar results at the 1995 local elections. Two years later, John Major lost the general election.
Derek Wyatt, the Labour MP for Sittingbourne, ominously called the results Mr Brown’s “John Major moment”. He said: “Gordon has committed spectacular own goals and the public is punishing him for it.” He added: “We have to clear the crap out of the Cabinet … He has until the conference season [this autumn] and, if he is still 24 per cent down in the polls, the party will have to take some pretty brave decisions.”
There was unanimity among Labour MPs that Mr Brown’s decision to abolish the 10p-in-the-pound lower rate of income tax proved an electoral disaster. Labour’s vote dropped in many of the party’s working-class strongholds as people rebelled over a change which hit 5.3 million low-paid workers.
As ministers rallied round, there was no immediate threat to Mr Brown’s position. But the Labour MP Ian Gibson, a Brown ally, suggested the leadership issue might be reopened before the general election if Mr Brown failed to mount a successful fightback. “I’ll give him six months to do it or there will be really hard talking,” he said.
After his first electoral test as Liberal Democrat leader, Nick Clegg said his party had “regained momentum” by gaining 30 councillors, even though its projected national share of the vote was four points down on 2004. “We have confounded the critics … and gone forwards rather than backwards,” he said. He described Labour as “a government that has run out of steam that is in power and nobody knows why, that has lost touch with ordinary British families”.
Why all may not be lost …
1968
The Beatles may have been singing “You say you want a revolution, well, you know we all want to change the world”, but the British electorate did not want a changed world at all. They wanted to go back to the way things used to be. In London, the Conservatives picked up over 60 per cent of the vote, compared with Labour’s 28.5 per cent, which meant that Labour lost all but four of London’s 32 boroughs. The outcome was a harbinger of the 1970 general election result.
1981
An example of how misleading local election results can be. Labour did very well, seizing control of the Greater London Council and Liverpool among other prizes, taking every seat but one in Islington. The way that they ran these councils caused so much controversy that the party might have been better off nationally without them. The general election two years later was the worst for Labour since the 1930s.
1990
The Conservative Party chairman, Kenneth Baker, cleverly outspun Labour by pretending to believe that the real electoral tests were whether the Tories could hold on to Bradford, Westminster and Wandsworth. When they held the two London boroughs, the result was interpreted as a defeat for Neil Kinnock, pictured. However, Tory MPs in marginal seats knew the results were bad, which is why they removed Margaret Thatcher from office six months later.
1995
This was the slaughter of the Conservatives. They lost nearly 2,000 seats, and were left in control of almost no councils of any size apart from some London boroughs and Buckinghamshire council. There were numerous major cities in the north of England, including Manchester, Liverpool and Newcastle with no Tory councillors at all. This heralded the 1997 general election defeat. But there was an up side for the Tories: their results were so bad that they have made gains in every council election since.
2004
This week’s elections were not the first in which Labour fell behind the Liberal Democrats. They hit what was then a historic low in 2004, because of the unpopularity of the Iraq war and student fees, losing control of councils in areas seen as Labour’s heartlands, such as Newcastle, Leeds and Doncaster. This did not stop Tony Blair leading Labour to general election victory the following year.

An Islamist group called al-Shabab, which literally means “the lads” in Somali, has been added to the United States’ list of “foreign terrorist organisations”. Its name stems from its first incarnation as the youth and military wing of a group of Sharia courts who controlled much of southern and central Somalia in 2006. When, at the end of that year, the Union of Islamic Courts (UIC) was driven from power by Ethiopian troops supporting Somalia’s weak transitional government, al-Shabab melted away into remote and distant parts of the country. But it did not disappear. Pattern It re-emerged as a radicalised group of young fighters, who, for the past 18 months have been conducting an insurgency against the interim government and its Ethiopian allies and attacking African Union peacekeepers.
Unlike many UIC leaders, who fled into exile in Eritrea, al-Shabab stayed behind to fight. It has its own website and has become increasingly active, not only fighting in the capital, Mogadishu, but carrying out hit-and-run attacks throughout central and southern Somalia. In the past few weeks, al-Shabab has attacked a number of strategic towns, including Dinsor in the south-west and Bur Hakaba, near the seat of parliament in Baidoa. A pattern is emerging whereby the militia briefly occupy the town, often killing a number of people, then withdraw with arms, ammunition and military vehicles seized from Somali government and Ethiopian troops. Last week, a Somali soldier was beheaded after the group issued a warning that it would attack checkpoints and behead those operating them. Al-Qaeda Al-Shabab has distanced itself from the Somali opposition based in Eritrea, saying it is too secular.
What started as a purely Somali armed group has become a more serious threat. “Al-Shabab is a violent and brutal extremist group with a number of officials affiliated to al-Qaeda,” the US State Department said in a statement. Led by Aden Hashi Ayro, who is said to have trained with al-Qaeda in Afghanistan, al-Shabab is reported to have attracted members from Yemen, Pakistan and various African countries. It is this that worries the Americans. But ironically the fact that the US has repeatedly made statements linking al-Shabab with al-Qaeda may have made it more attractive to some of the foreign fighters. A senior member of the al-Shabab, Sheikh Muktar Robow, told the BBC he welcomed the US decision. “Al-Shabab feels honoured to be included on the list. We are good Muslims and the Americans are infidels. We are on the right path,” he said. But he rejected the US’s accusations that members of the group are linked to al-Qaeda. “We are fighting a jihad to rid Somalia of the Ethiopians and its allies, the secular Somali stooges,” he said. After repeating that al-Shabab would not stop fighting or engage in reconciliation talks until Ethiopian troops withdrew from Somalia, he said: “We will continue to attack peacekeepers in Somalia, regardless of their nationality.” |

Infidel Planes Bombed Dhusamareb -Somalia
Air raid ‘kills Somali militants’ |
|||
The leader of the military wing of an Islamist insurgent organisation in Somalia has been killed in an air strike, reports say. Aden Hashi Ayro, al-Shabab’s military commander, died when his home in the central town of Dusamareb was bombed. Eight other people, including a senior militant, are also reported dead. Al-Shabab, considered a terrorist group by the US, is the military wing of the Somali Sharia courts movement ousted by Ethiopian troops in 2006. The group is in effect in control of large parts of central and southern Somalia. ‘Infidel planes’ An al-Shabab spokesman, Mukhtar Robow Adumansur, told the BBC that Ayro was killed in the attack, along with his brother. Locals said the attacks happened at about 0300 (2400 GMT).
“We heard a huge explosion and when we ran out of our house we saw balls of smoke and flames coming out of house,” Nur Geele told the BBC. The house was totally destroyed to the ground, also other houses nearby,” local elder Ahmed Mumin Jama said. Residents said the air strike was carried out by US planes, but there has been no confirmation of this. The US says al-Shabab is part of the al-Qaeda network, although correspondents say it is impossible to accurately establish those links. In its annual report on terrorism published on Wednesday, the US said al-Shabab militants in Somalia, along with al-Qaeda militants in east Africa, posed “the most serious threat to American and allied interests in the region”. Al-Shabab has been at the forefront of a guerrilla insurgency against the government and its Ethiopian allies since early 2007. In recent weeks, they have briefly captured several towns in central and southern Somalia before withdrawing. The US has launched several air strikes against suspected extremist targets in Somalia in recent months.
