Answer 2

THEY ARE THE ONLY ONES STANDING UP TO THE ISLAMIC JIHADIST. THEY ARE NOT ATTACKING SOMALIA THEY ARE CONDUCTING JOINT MILITARY OPERATIONS WITH THE LEGITIMATELY RECOGNIZED GOVERNMENT OF SOMALIA. TOGETHER THEY ARE TRYING TO PUSH OUT THE ISLAMIC EXTREMIST THAT PLAGUE BOTH COUNTRIES.

MOGADISHU, Somalia (Reuters) -- A joint force of Ethiopian and Somali government troops advanced Wednesday to just 18 miles (30 kilometers) from Islamist-held Mogadishu, but a representative said they would besiege the Somali capital rather than attack it.

"We are not going to fight for Mogadishu, to avoid civilian casualties. Our troops will surround Mogadishu until they [the Islamists] surrender," Ambassador Abdikarin Farah told reporters in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Answer 3

Report put forward by Times Mirror, the oil factor in Somalia, 1/18/1993.
"Far beneath the surface of thetragic drama of Somalia, four major US oil companies are quietly sitting on the prospective fortune in exclusive concessions to explore and exploit tens of millions of acres of the Somalia countryside."....
"Officially the Administration and State Dept. insit that the US backed military mission in Somalia is strictly humanitarian. Oil Industry spsokessmen dismissed as "absurd" and "nonsence" allegations by aid experts. veteran East Africa analysts and several prominent Somalis that presidnet bush a former Texas oilman, was moved to act in Somalia, at least in part by the U.S. corporate stake."
that was then but still is the primary reason for US intervention in area.
"Based upon published and unpublished data, the geology of those basins(ie. Somalia, Odagan and by looking at map the vast palins all the way into Africa Central; authors imprint)proves that oil and gas have been generated with fvorable resovoirs as well as structural and strategic traps. Morover the continuation of these basins across the gulf matching hydrocarbon producing marib-Hajar and Say'un-Al Masiila basins of Yemen raises the hydrocarbon prospects of Northern Somalia.
Under US laws on export of arms no nation may use those arms outisde of country unless invaded.
Somalia never invaded Ethiopia.
After the US intervention helped destroy whatever governetnal structures reamined in somalia they actually existed without a central government and Mogadishu while saying they were the capital had no influence outside of its city streets until US pushed UN to recognize it as legitimate government of country.
U.N refuse to do that and only agreed to it being an interim government.
While the quasi governemtn backed by US and corproate interest agreed to a Un African corps to help form a truly national Interest they refused to let Ethiopia be aprt of that force. This dates back to Ethiopeian invading Somalia not other way around, Ethiopia having to concede loss and giving up on Eritreas claims for independence.
The US vetoed this planned arrangement and demanded Ethipia be allowed to enter.
the UN resolution demqands that neighboring countrys respect Somalias borders and Ehtiipia is most assuredly not doing so.
The Us and UN favored governement is hunkered down in Baidoa and has not been able to rewachg anywhers else.
Whiel the two people leading Somalias interim governemtn and only do so through US aid asked the Ethiopians into country the so called legisalative body set up to prove it was a democracy came outr on DEC 15th in Mogadishu, (Garowe Online) African news channel, and publicly stated they never invited the Ethiopians and it was those tow leaders who had. Mr. Omar Hashi is the top official in new governemtn sau=id the Parliment did not vote for neighboring countrtys to enter Somalia. The US backed Ethiopians said they will not leave Somalia unless the leaders who invited them say to.
What a quagmire when two governemtn officials agaisnt the 60 can get their backers the US to keep foreign forces in country.
Note the official aid to Ethiopia has been totaled at over 230 millions since 2004 and increased each year by around 60%. Military aid to a country that even its own oversight committees have deemed one of worlds worst violators of human rights in direct conflict with laws passed by them.
thsi constant barrage of christian nation of Ethiopia is just propaganda as the country has over 70 different dialogues and ethnic groupings with the so called christians only in majority of capital area.
If one loks at who runs US embassy in Ehtiopia notice the name of one Col Richard Orth who actually operates out of Djubuti, CENCOM and is very instrumental in training such forces as Ugandan Spec ops and other african forces. Notice the carrer of William Hemmink the USAID '

Answer 4

hey, a bunch of stupid idiotic retard Islamic fascists decided to attack Ethiopia.
plus the Ethiopian army are joined by the legitimate Somali government and the Somali army

Answer 5

Will you people ever read a book. Do you remember the book "Blackhawk down?"

The somalians have been fighting, each other in clans and other countries, for decades.

Answer 6

the ethiopian government is hardly the "deadliest terrorist" regime in africa. the somalian regime they're attacking is as deadly if not worse, and there are worse in africa than either of the two. for instance the somalian forces ethiopia is fighting has instituted a "pray or die" policy of either conversion or death ( http://news.scotsman.com/international.cfm?id=1814932006 ) in the territories it controlls.

in the past the u.s. has distributed aid to easch of them and the only notable difference in our realations with the two is that whereas etheopia took u.s.'s aid and maintained normal relations, the somalis took our aid and for reasons entirely ideological, declared themselves enemies of the u.s. - even going so far as to shoot down u.s. helicopters on a mission to protect food relief shipments and drag the crew's mutilated bodys through the streets.

somalia has been attritionally encroaching upon ethiopia for a few years now and ethiopia is beating them back. is ethiopia stockholm? do either of these parties wear a perfectly white hat? no. welcome to the real world.*

finally, the limited diplomatic cover we're lending ethiopia in this matter is so limited that a hawk like u.s. embassador to the un is calling for ethiopia to halt the offensive so the un can establish peace talks already.

*i suspect you know better but are here just trying to intentionally mislead people. the way you have simplified and distorted the issue here qualifies as lying, and your motivation for lying is revealed in the inclusion of the u.s. into this. the u.s. has no guns or signifigant interests in the conflict, but you framed the u.s. as central to it because death, misery, poverty, hate and confict affecting real people in places like africa are to you only usefull incidentals in your campaign of hate against the u.s. and her people.

i hope someday you will gain the perspective and humilty to leave hatred behind and learn to actually care about people.


___________________________________________

of course the facile "because of oil" schtick is being performed above. lots of places have oil. countries and entities other than the u.s. need oil too. the sudan has oil. and there's an ongoing ethnic cleansing there (by similar forces to the ones ethiopia is fighting). i suppose that if we tried to end the ethnic cleansing it would be "for oil".

why not? sudan already gets twice as much aid from the u.s. as does ethiopia and it actually has oil within its borders and not just in a neighboring country. so if signifigant fighting does occur there (not just one side slaughtering the other wholesale) and the u.s. says something ,or nothing, or coughs while the security council is in session, the anti-american demagogues can say that its "for oil" and cite u.s. aid levels to the sudan as proof, even though the regime of the country recieving that aid has sworn itself as an enemy and the oil we're after is scarse, running out and already goes to china.

china is similar to all non-u.s. countries in that it does nothing simply "for oil".

further, who do you think these anti-american demagogues will sympathise with and wear while they're sympathising?

answer to the first part of that question is simple: right now as the genocide in sudan persists, radicals have framed the government in kartoum as legitimate and calls to end the genocide from israel and the u.s. as a zionist plot "for oil."

which all but answers the second part: they'll be wearing che shirts and bandannas. they will be progressives of the social justice movement. "social justice" means - and has always meant - genocide for the "right" reasons.

something to remember the next time a liberal says we should be using our troops to end the genocide in dafur instead of fighting a war "for oil".
