The Voice Of The Voiceless

Could the Ethiopian government's failure to provide evidence heighten suspicions that Mr. Zenawi’s foreign jihadists help justify the invasion? Or 2000 Eritrean well trained Soldiers are fighting for the Islamists staying in Mogadishu?

The answer is No, Ethiopia's claim that it has arrested British citizens in operations against Islamic fighters in Somalia looked increasingly dubious last night after the Foreign Office said that requests for proof had drawn a blank.

Meles Zenawi: Questions remain over his claims.

Meles Zenawi, Ethiopia's prime minister, whose forces ousted Somalia's Islamic Courts Union from power over New Year, said on Tuesday that the Britons were part of an "international brigade" of hard-core foreign jihadis targeted in Monday's US air raid in southern Somalia.

 Today whether the Ethiopians are an historical enemy of Somalia or not are not the question. The Somalis are already made up their minds, and do not believe either getting apology from any one or any explanation necessary for this minor violation of Ethiopia invading the sovereignty of their country. Their main concern is already too much trouble for the family’s to deal the lack of work, and sometimes their hard work up to 18 hours a day could not satisfy their ends meet.

Victims, most of their sons and daughters continue dying or maimed indefinitely, children orphaned at early ages and left with no one to look after them, a hopeless widows who did not choose to become one and whose husbands get killed in a tribal warfare and land expansionists warlord’s cause who became the political leaders of today and support by Ethiopia and the U.S. and for sure will go through stories that will narrate every mother to her children that will continue on for generations.

It is anyone's understanding the issues facing this country is one simple fact, a plague of disease called “Warlords”, who originally were armed by Ethiopians to overthrow a former Dictator Siad Barre who attacked them in 1977,

and as the result Ethiopia continuing fuelling the bloody warfare with the assistance of unknown foreign richer countries providing money and weapons, then finally came out the name Americans, making bad decisions by backing the same ugly warlords against unemployed civilians who grew up in a war torn country to be labeled and arrested by those warlords and started to extradite them to Ethiopia.

The veracity of the claim is not relevant as it worked for the benefit, and birth of Islamic Court Union former Warlords themselves that have only changed shirts. As the idea itself has created the Islamic courts group whose forces were nothing more than bodyguards for powerful Warlords, and hired gunmen freelancers who created by merchants want to protect their ill-gotten properties, and later supported by a man called; ‘Yusuf Indha adde’, his sub clan took over one the most fertile rich regions in Somalia and continued the exploitations of the indigenous people since in the nineties, later got rich from the extortion monies they were collecting over the years and surpassed his fellow warlords in Mogadishu like Abdullahi Yusuf, Hussein Aideed, Qanyare, Sude etc. the odd thing was being the only non-Ethiopian client weapon receiver, since the death of General Aideed, who united all the Habargidir sub-clans under his Leadership and could not find a replacing, and everyone knew his idiotic-punk son was no match for his father, even not worthy being a regular Habargidir soldier, but with cash and few hired gunmen stayed until Ethiopia brought him as Minister of Interior.

This had motivated the Ayr sub-clan’s intellectuals depart their own way, with their General Gallaal and former communist leader Mr. Abdiqassim Salad attempting to create a pre-fabricated government based on clan basis with the help of Djibouti’s President. They’ve created what they call 4.5 Somali clan power-sharing. They lost their bid to that government, who couldn’t functions outside Mogadishu and part of Southern Somalia, but with Mr. Abdiqassim Salad’s leadership resulted of its process opening new windows, and several millions of dollars collected from Arab Countries in the name of Somalia being divided among some members of Darood and Hawiye clan corrupted politicians. It also gave them big junk of leftover money, and experience to run the government control business by using an existing Islamic courts Union as cover up, and new way to rule these people.

 In Mid of 2005 the Bad Guys have become the Good Guys, and the formerly fiendish Somalian warlords became part of the "anti-terrorism coalition" that the U.S. flooding Somalian warlords with money and arms – came about a blessed opportunity to fight a claim to stop the new threat of extraditing young Somalis with beards to Ethiopia by warlords backing by U.S. government. Both have created imaginary enemies and after that; it was an easy and natural way to use the name Islamic Courts. Because it has become known to every one the fact that Somalis do not motivate by patriotism, flag or country, they also have seen the tribal loyalty as well, is no longer functional and can easily be waned for the long run, or can be influenced, or bought big time by any one with the green buck.

It wasn’t as hard as many of the Somalis thought in the beginning of the trouble how to get rid of these groups consisted of a gaggle of warlord slaves holed up in the pushes beside every street corner in every 1 kilometer with A.K 47, chewing drug leafs, and extorting money from the civilians for their Bosses in Nairobi, Kenya Hilton. And that motivated most of the people to march behind the Islamists to go to war for the Islamic Court Union and their alliances who were really nothing but naive followers. To fight along side with the Islamic courts against the Infidels who reiterated from their religion was an easy persuasion and privilege to all youngsters, and thought were doing what is best for themselves, their country's best interest and for God also, not to mention better paid than ordinary street thug who joins any other warlord team.

The United States becoming apparent by backing the warlords against The Islamic courts union have failed, even though themselves were crooks but motivated them to go to war against those who were the most hated by the people in the country as well as the Somalis abroad, and eventually the defeat have sent the wrong message to U.S. government by recognizing right away the corrupted illegal-conceived transitional federal government who were enjoying life in the best Hotels in Nairobi, paying their bills by the corrupted UNDP, on accounts from American, and European Union citizens hard earned tax-payer’s money.

Suddenly the warlords who disowned their ill-conceived government, and badly humiliated in Mogadishu by the Islamic courts went naturally back to their Boss in Ethiopia and regrouped them as family once again, and the International community showed the lack of concern for the will of the Somali people, with their sufferings that all started with the fault of the same warlords, with the same Ethiopian support, with the same financiers. And most of their loved ones dying in this senseless war that is clear today was avoidable, but seems a preplanned blue print designed by Ethiopia, and unfortunately even who ever today tries to help Somalia genuinely will be included because of the gigantic atrocities committed. That total disregard for their lost lives, properties, dignities and precious time to get educated and better their lives for 16 years. Should we say a lost meaningful life, a meaningful Lives they haven’t learned its importance that's still on the hang.

Their dead loved ones will not know, nor remembered by the corrupted illegal-conceived transitional federal government warlord members as victims or fighters.  The corrupted members of the government under the warlords, whom they hand picked such as Gedi, the so-called Prime Minister, Dinari, the Minister of Information, or Bubaa Minister of External Affairs who all represent their pockets shares the same attitude. The Somalian People are not playing the role of poor victims in a Movie story here, they are real victims with blood and flesh, and the danger still lies ahead, when the International community boldly stands beside the same criminals to come back and exposing to more dangerous situations once again, those suffering people, and how any one do intend to persuade them? Somalis can say many words on every event of their ordeal, but will never say; ‘forgiveness will be part one of their words they will speak out’.

Ethiopia and Abdullahi Yusuf’s cabinet warlord members will ever be those who launched an all-out attack on their houses and families for 16 consecutive years, knocking out houses, their schools, their hospitals, their roads, markets, airports, and fuel facilities, and doing enormous damage to civilians even today in every corner of Somalia the blunder and disaster clear from it. Being a defenseless against an aerial attack from a stronger enemy is not defeat for the Somalis, still they can remember without the Soviets help to the Ethiopians; there was no chance for Somalian sons to get stopped, and would have been able to ransack Addis Ababa 30 years ago.

And again, it is life; it has many faces and stages. No Somali will feel proud about that, it was all started with bad decisions made by the same Darood clan leaders, their butchers, their gangsters and their thieves who created this disastrous situations, and strangely leading today by the same gangster Mr. Abdullahi Yusuf who proudly claims the first shot against the Ethiopians shot by him, and leading them today to invade Southern Somalia. It was known that those other deposed gangs who misled children as young as 12 years old, as well as their rival T F G members used the same method and that’s enough crimes to be prosecuted in International criminal courts, ICC. They let them drive Toyota pickups around the cities with mounted guns, have the permission to shoot on their behest whoever they feel like, could never have matched the Ethiopian’s organized, disciplined strong 8000 well trained soldiers with their armored personnel carriers, their tanks, their artilleries, helicopter gun-ships and Mig 29 jet planes with American spying planes pinpointing for them what coordination to shoot.

Today, Ethiopia has one of Africa’s most powerful, well-trained armed forces with over 1,300 tanks and a modern air force that are now increasingly equipped and aided by the United States, and as we are told; Mr. Hussein Aideed told to one of his associates who refused to be named, as Ethiopia is heading soon Asmara, Eritrea and Sana, Yemen and this will all be part of greater Ethiopia. It is known; ‘Men proposes and God disposes’, It is all about like how you say; some Seasons rejuvenate the earth, while some others kill, only the infinite time will stand to tell where this new events leading us in the end, and for the coming generations to read, nothing stays forever, the truth as well will stand forever while the lies will collapse after its momentum is lost.

What we are witnessing today in Somalia is a disaster in the making of history, who started recently by the Islamic Courts Union to blame first by taking 12-year-old kids, gave them 3 days of training and ship them off to the combat at the frontlines close to Baidoa, where Ethiopians and Darood Soldiers slaughtered them mercilessly, at the request of political leaders who are willing to sacrifice the Somalis for their unending greed and ego. A resolution passed by spineless warlords as the world imposing a suffering nation as their only legitimate government who can run this unfortunate country of ours, when they are actually those who generated the deadliest, most horrific blow to this country without blaming anyone else.

Their previous refusal to negotiate with their other gang rivals from central Somalia, was all part of theirs, and their Ethiopian plan, using lies, disinformation, and demonization the Islamists who are blame worthy as well, and were part of wider plan for the greater evil to replace the not so-lesser evil, with the Ethiopians doing the dirt work for them for further rights claim to exploit Somali People’s resources. The answer lies in the nature of the warlord being, and who ever thinks that we are mind-directed creatures, who will act on the basis of what the warlord tells us, and at most what We the Somalis can do is protest in the streets, and that also can be challenged by the Warlord President normally who shoots to disperse the demonstrators as long as The repressive regime of strongman Meles Zenawi is on their side, again I forgot to mention, the Somalis are already under the martial law isn’t it? For the next 3 months, and can be renewed once again if it is necessary. This doesn’t sound Democracy as promised, but Dictatorship as expected.

Mr. Abdullahi Yusuf, A former pro-Mengiste Haile Miriam of former Ethiopia, A communist himself a Godless, and leader of Majertenia Puntland gangs, also citizen of Majertenia-Puntland is trajectory parallel to Somalia’s former Dictator Siad Barre, General Aideed, General Morgan, Colonel Barre Shire Hiraale, and General Gani whom all their hands stained with the Somalian People’s blood, their triumph to plunder, rape, and murder their way through the streets of Mogadishu’s success will only tell time how long it lasts, I wish Americans were not part of it, because the Somalis love the American People. Yet a complete lack of understanding of Somalis, its culture is on the move, as long as the same central Somalia self-appointed leaders are in put in charge, their misinformation will lead this country a further disastrous situations for generations to come. Who cares; seems the answer for that.

 The prefabricated history of Darood People is always flow, and usable for their benefit, if they can easily broadcast their warlord grand leader Abdullahi Yusuf coming to Mogadishu after 40 years to give good alibi for crimes he committed in Mogadishu. Also can tell us how Siad Barre Arrested him, and did he became former chief CEO of FIAT Somalia, or WAGAD. How did he betrayed his colleague's failed coup attempt by running away with the help of General Morgan's information about the foiled coup in advance, and all getting executed by Siad Barre, while He cowardly fled to Ethiopia in 1978 without warning his colleagues. How did he became a became a deputy for General Aideed in 1991 as an Ethiopian appointed to overthrow Siad Barre from his last visit in 1991, when General Aideed always despised him, and fired on the spot for his lack of contribution to the effort.

 The reality is that Somalia Issues are always diverted and occulted by few malicious thugs from most of the International Community Organizations such as the U.N, the AL, the EU, the AU, and the Muslim League falls for it, and unfortunately still kept ongoing those misleading prefabricated lies, which shall never produce any positive and lasting solution to this suffering nation that no one really cares about, or until reality recognized and accepted as it appears surfacing on Southern Somalia ground where the invaders should have no business being in the first place where they have to exploit the decent hardworking Somali population whose families in a miserable lives for their benefit.

Somalis are not blaming God, but those known corrupted warlords and whoever assists them with one penny and one tiny pistol!

The Southern Somali people will never forget the good deeds by USA and The International Community in 1992 and 1993, which ended in an ill-fated circumstances to all the victims, both Somali Maay Population as well as the International Community, we will always thank them, but in the situation by bringing back the warlords into the power cannot and will not be forgiven, and there can be no explanation or justification for that in any way.
