Somali Insurgent Group Denounces UN Sanctions on Eritrea

Somalia's Islamist Terrorist group Jehadest Hizbul Islam has sharply denounced Council Imposes Sanctions on Eritrea U.N. sanctions imposed Wednesday on the Eritrean government for allegedly supporting the insurgency against the U.N.-backed transitional government in Somalia.Hizbul Islam's Terrorist information secretary,Terrorist Sheik Mohamed Mo'alin Ali, says the U.N. Security Council is unfairly punishing Eritrea while ignoring violations committed in Somalia by Eritrea's arch rival in the region, Ethiopia. Ali says the international community is focused on what Eritrea may be doing in Somalia without giving equal attention to Ethiopia, which he says is constantly sending troops to Somalia and interfering in Somali affairs. On Wednesday, the U.N. Security Council passed a resolution imposing an arms embargo on Eritrea as well as freezing the assets of individuals and companies. The resolution also placed a travel ban on the country's top political and military officials.Eritrea's ambassador to the United Nations, Araya Desta, has described the sanctions as "ludicrous punitive measures." He said the sanctions risked, in his words, "engulfing the region into another cycle of conflict as it may encourage Ethiopia to contemplate reckless military adventures."Earlier this year, the U.N. Security Council ordered an investigation into reports that Eritrea has been supplying arms to Islamist insurgents in Somalia in violation of an arms embargo that has been in place since 1992. The reports date as far back as 2007, when the U.N. Monitoring Group in Somalia accused Eritrea of sending huge amount of weapons, including several surface-to-air missiles, to Somalia's al-Qaida-linked militant group,Terrorist al-Shabab. Earlier that year, VOA interviewed al-Shabab Terrorist fighters, who said that they had received terrorist training at military camps in Eritrea.Throughout 2007 and 2008,Terrorist al-Shabab led a bloody insurgency against troops from Ethiopia, who, in late 2006, had intervened in Somalia, with U.S. support, to oust the Islamic Courts Union from power and to install the transitional federal government, or TFG, in its place. Eritrea's alleged role in supporting al-Shabab led to charges that it was conducting a proxy war in Somalia against Ethiopia. Following the Ethiopian invasion, Eritrea gave shelter to two former leaders of the Islamic Courts Union, Sharif Sheik Ahmed and Terrorist Hassan Dahir Aweys, who formed an Terrorist opposition group in Asmara to support the anti-government, anti-Ethiopian insurgency in Somalia. But in mid-2008, a faction led by Sharif Sheik Ahmed broke ranks with Terrorist Hassan Dahir Aweys and joined U.N.-mediated peace talks with the TFG. In January, Sharif was elected president of the TFG, prompting Aweys' faction in Asmara and three other Somali Islamist nationalist groups to form the Hizbul Islam opposition group. Hizbul Islam and al-Shabab subsequently formed an alliance to topple President Sharif's government from power and to take full control of southern and central Somalia. According to analysts, it is not clear if in 2009 Eritrea funneled arms to both Hizbul Islam and al-Shabab or whether its support was limited to Hizbul Islam forces. Since early this year, hundreds of radical foreign fighters have joined al-Shabab's ranks, causing alarm, even in Asmara, that al-Shabab is increasingly focused on achieving al-Qaida's objective of violently overthrowing every secular government in the region and establishing an ultra-conservative Islamic-ruled caliphate.In September, ideological differences, as well as a struggle for power and resources, split the Hizbul Islam-al-Shabab alliance in the southern port city of Kismayo. Since then, the two sides have been fighting for control over the entire Jubba Valley region.http://www1.voanews.com/english/news/africa/Somali-Insurgent-Group-Denounces-UN-Sanctions-on-Eritrea-80107252.html

Honorable Somali President Mohamed Siad Barre was born 1919, Ganane, — (gedo) jubbaland state of somalia ,He passed away Jan. 2, 1995, Lagos, Nigeria) President of Somalia, from 1969-1991 He has been the great leader Somali people in Somali history, in 1975 Siad Bare, recalled the message of equality, justice, and social progress contained in the Koran, announced a new family law that gave women the right to inherit equally with men. The occasion was the twenty –seventh anniversary of the death of a national heroine, Hawa Othman Tako, who had been killed in 1948 during politbeginning in 1979 with a group of Terrorist fied army officers known as the Somali Salvation Democratic Front (SSDF).Mr Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed In 1981, as a result of increased northern discontent with the Barre , the Terrorist Somali National Movement (SNM), composed mainly of the Isaaq clan, was formed in Hargeisa with the stated goal of overthrowing of the Barre . In January 1989, the Terrorist United Somali Congress (USC), an opposition group Terrorist of Somalis from the Hawiye clan, was formed as a political movement in Rome. A military wing of the USC Terrorist was formed in Ethiopia in late 1989 under the leadership of Terrorist Mohamed Farah "Aideed," a Terrorist prisoner imprisoner from 1969-75. Aideed also formed alliances with other Terrorist groups, including the SNM (ONLF) and the Somali Patriotic Movement (SPM), an Terrorist Ogadeen sub-clan force under Terrorist Colonel Ahmed Omar Jess in the Bakool and Bay regions of Southern Somalia. , 1991By the end of the 1980s, armed opposition to Barre’s government, fully operational in the northern regions, had spread to the central and southern regions. Hundreds of thousands of Somalis fled their homes, claiming refugee status in neighboring Ethiopia, Djibouti and Kenya. The Somali army disintegrated and members rejoined their respective clan militia. Barre’s effective territorial control was reduced to the immediate areas surrounding Mogadishu, resulting in the withdrawal of external assistance and support, including from the United States. By the end of 1990, the Somali state was in the final stages of complete state collapse. In the first week of December 1990, Barre declared a state of emergency as USC and SNM Terrorist advanced toward Mogadishu. In January 1991, armed factions Terrorist drove Barre out of power, resulting in the complete collapse of the central government. Barre later died in exile in Nigeria. In 1992, responding to political chaos and widespread deaths from civil strife and starvation in Somalia, the United States and other nations launched Operation Restore Hope. Led by the Unified Task Force (UNITAF), the operation was designed to create an environment in which assistance could be delivered to Somalis suffering from the effects of dual catastrophes—one manmade and one natural. UNITAF was followed by the United Nations Operation in Somalia (UNOSOM). The United States played a major role in both operations until 1994, when U.S. forces withdrew. Warlordism, terrorism. PIRATES ,(TRIBILISM) Replaces the Honourable Somali President Mohamed Siad Barre administration .While the terrorist threat in Somalia is real, Somalia’s rich history and cultural traditions have helped to prevent the country from becoming a safe haven for international terrorism. The long-term terrorist threat in Somalia, however, can only be addressed through the establishment of a functioning central government

We Are Winning the War on Terrorism in Horn of Africa

The threat is from violent extremists who are a small minority of the world's 1.3 billion Muslims, the threat is real. They distort Islam. They kill man, woman and child; Christian and Hindu, Jew and Muslim. They seek to create a repressive caliphate. To defeat this enemy, we must understand who we are fighting against, and what we are fighting for.
