Ethiopian Troops Roll Into Somalia

MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) -- Hundreds of Ethiopian troops in armored vehicles rolled into Somalia on Thursday to protect their allies in this country's virtually powerless government from Islamic militants who control the capital.

The move could give the U.S.-backed Somali government its only chance of curbing the Islamic militia's increasing power. But Ethiopia's incursion could also be just the provocation the militia needs to build public support for a guerrilla war.

"We will declare jihad if the Ethiopian government refuses to withdraw their troops from Somalia," a top Islamic official, Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed, told The Associated Press.

The neighboring countries are traditional enemies, although Somali President Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed has asked Ethiopia for its support. Thousands of Somalis have taken to the streets in recent weeks to denounce witness accounts of Ethiopian troops along the border.

Somalia has been without an effective central government since warlords toppled dictator Mohamed Siad Barre in 1991 and then turned on each other, carving much of the country into armed camps ruled by violence and clan law.



Somalia having problems again..big suprise.  
:rolleyes:

Well, think about it.  If you're a Third-world player and wanna make a move, with everyone's attention diverted elsewhere in the world, now's the time to do it.

Kinda eerily like the beginning of WWI....

Ethiopians have troops?

I thought they were still starving.  

Maybe they took Sam Kinison's advice.  "MOVE TO WHERE THE FOOD IS YOU IDIOTS!"

They should have been smart enough to choose somewhere else to be born, and smart enough to choose different parents with whiter skin, like you boys did.

Sam was a comedian (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0455630/) in the 80s/90s

Africa is pretty well off in natural resources, maybe the richest continent in the world in this. Maybe they need to get busy developing and/or exploiting those resources?

Been watching this Religion thing for a few years now and came to a point to where we, the Western World, would really screw the minds of the Islamic/Muslim Fanatics.... I'm surprised you all hadn't figured this out.

It's a 2 event action...

1st we take every B52, B2 anything that can drop ord... load it up with pigs...that's right PIGs..small, large amd Medium sized pigs...painted Red, White & Blue... Carpet Bomb Syria, Iran, Iraq and Lebanon with pigs...

2nd we take off our uniforms and wear robes, head wraps and carry AK-47s rushing screaming "ALLAH ACK BA" into the major Cities..Tehran, Damascus, Bhagdad and Beirut...

Only shoot those dodging the pigs and we have the Worlds BIGGEST BBQ after the 1st Day!  War is over.

I should have been a Diplomat!

Hmmm, maybe we should supply pork rinds to the solders.
That way they could drop a couple on dead insurgents so they won't go to Vahalla.
 Did'nt McAurther do something like capture a a couple of Islamis in the Philippines, force them to watch as he had the ammo dipped in pigs blood and shoot one with the "tainted" ammo and let the rest go ?
 I seem to remember it pretty much quelled the problem at that time

I do consider myself very fortunate to have been born in a country with opportunity and with enough food that my mom had a healthy pregnancy.

You can do something about where you live and how you think about things but only if you were not damaged to much by some sort of prenatal problem.

Agree.  Jihads are overused and overrated.
