 Ethiopian
troops patrol in Somalia
By MOHAMED OLAD HASSAN,
Associated Press Writer Wed Nov 22, 11:41 AM ET , MOGADISHU, Somalia -
Hundreds of Ethiopian troops were patrolling a strategic road that leads
to Somalia's government headquarters after a brief
but intense firefight in the area this week, witnesses said Wednesday.
"At least 200 Ethiopian troops are carefully patrolling the road," said
Yusuf Kheyre, a resident of Bardale district about 40 miles southwest of
the southern town of Baidoa where the government is based.

 "It
is the firmly held view of the MG that committing such a (peacekeeping )
force to Somalia in the current context may in the worst case be the
catalyst that sparks a serious military confrontation between the
opposing sides, or at a minimum simply adds to the pressing momentum
toward a confrontation.."
...the
Monitoring Group on Somalia
.
....... It
is into this highly unstable, complicated and militarily diverse
environment that the Regional and international community is actively
considering inserting a peace keeping force consisting of military
troops from the IGAD or the AU. It is the firmly held view of the MG
that committing such a force to Somalia in the current context may in
the worst case be the catalyst that sparks a serious military
confrontation between the opposing sides, or at a minimum simply adds to
the pressing momentum toward a confrontation. And, given the situation
as described above, what control would such a foreign
peace keeping force be able to exercise? In virtually any case, there is
a very good likelihood that instead of curbing tensions, a peace keeping
force would simply become a part of the problem - another potential
combatant in the push toward a military solution in Somalia. ....

Islamists clash with Ethiopian forces in southern Somalia
MOGADISHU (AFP) - Islamic fighters have clashed with
Ethiopian forces near the seat of the Somali government, inflicting
large numbers of casualties and destroying armoured vehicles
The Islamists, who have vowed holy war against Ethiopian troops
protecting Somalia's weak government, said they ambushed an Ethiopian
convoy in Qasah Omane, a small village some 70 kilometres (45 miles)
southwest of Baidoa, where both sides are girding for war.
As the Islamists claimed victory against the Ethiopians in the second
attack in three days, witnesses reported fresh fighting at another
outpost south of Baidoa, about 250 kilometres (155 miles) northwest of
the capital.

Eritrea's
mediation in Darfur controversial
afrol News, 22 November
-
At a mini-summit on Sudan in
Libya, Eritrea's unpredictable President Issayas
Afewerki was urged to mediate in the Darfur conflict and
its spillover into Chad and the Central African
Republic. Eritrea earlier supplied arms to Darfuri
rebels, but has now reconciled with the Khartoum regime.
While Sudan's allies favour this mediation, others fear
it is a trick to swap mediations on Somalia and Darfur.

Intelligence Brief: Rebels
Advance on the Central African Republic
Drafted By:
http://www.pinr.com
..The rebels are joined together in the Union of
Democratic Forces for Unity (U.F.D.R.) and claim to be former
fighters who helped install President Francois Bozize into power in
2003. They have demanded that Bozize agree to power sharing talks
with the rebel movement. The leader of the group, Michel Detodia,
has accused Bozize of only empowering those within his ethnic group
and of excluding the rest from power. Bozize seized power in a coup
with the help of Chad in 2003 and won elections in 2005. Before the
elections, C.A.R. experienced 11 attempted coups in just ten
years.... |

Somalia in
mid-November: Sparring and Waiting for Someone to Strike
Drafted By: Dr. Michael A. Weinstein
http://www.pinr.com ,
13 November 2006
...With increasing militarization on the ground, other interested
external actors were constrained to take positions, most of them
following dual-track strategies of backing one of the sides while at the
same time calling for the I.C.C. and T.F.G. to engage in dialogue and
enter reconciliation talks. An emerging trans-regional polarization
pitted Djibouti, Egypt, Libya, Iran, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Syria, Sudan and
Eritrea, which backed the I.C.C., against
Uganda and Tanzania, which backed the T.F.G., Ethiopia and Kenya.
The north-south divide reflects a
convergent interest of the North African and Near Eastern states in
gaining a sphere of influence in the Horn of Africa through a unified
Somalia that would check Ethiopia, and the interest of the East African
states and Ethiopia in preventing the push south and, consequently, in
keeping Somalia relatively weak, if not divided.... |

 We're
in a struggle for the soul of our nation. Congress has just
given the President authority to detain people indefinitely
without charge or trial.
Outraged, and in
response, Amnesty International has launched a new campaign that
will fight to restore our traditional American values of
justice, rule of law, and human dignity. |
