MOGADISHU, March 21, 2007 (AP) Insurgents dragged the corpses of two soldiers through the streets of the Somali capital and set the bodies on fire Wednesday after a fierce street battle killed at least seven people, witnesses and medical officials said.
An Associated Press photographer saw insurgents drag the bodies of one Ethiopian soldier and one Somali government soldier through the streets of northeastern Mogadishu and then set them on fire.

As one of the bodies was still burning, women wearing head scarves and long, loose dresses picked up stones and pounded it as a handful of young men looked on.

Ethiopia sent soldiers into Somalia in December to help defeat an Islamic movement that threatened to destroy Somalia’s internationally recognized government. While the Islamic forces no longer hold territory, they have started an insurgency to overthrow the government and drive out the Ethiopian troops.

Somali and Ethiopian troops, supported by tanks and armored vehicles, entered an insurgent stronghold in central Mogadishu before dawn and were met by hundreds of masked insurgents.

“Ethiopian tanks rolled out of the former Defense Ministry and moved into the nearby Shirkole area, which is seen as the stronghold of the insurgent groups, and they met with stiff resistance,” said Ali Haji Jama, a resident of the northeastern neighborhood at the center of the fighting.

Other witnesses said minibuses filled with insurgents were racing through the city to reach Shirkole and defend against the Ethiopian advance. The same minibuses were used to carry away casualties, said Muqtar Abdulahi Dahir, a Mogadishu businessman who witnessed the fighting.

Medical officials at Mogadishu’s three hospitals said they had recorded at least seven dead and 10 wounded by midmorning.

Somalia’s government began the operation at about midnight Tuesday at the former Defense Ministry headquarters and plans to move forces into other parts of the capital, said Mohamed Ali Nur, the country’s ambassador in neighboring Kenya.

The operation is meant to try to stop militants from firing rockets at government installations, he told the AP.

Nur denied that any Ethiopian troops were involved in the operation.

Insurgents have fired mortars and rocket-propelled grenades at the Somali forces and their Ethiopian allies almost daily.

Somali leaders have said in recent weeks that they were preparing a major offensive to stop the growing insurgency.

Somalia has been without an effective central government since 1991. The present government has so far failed to assert itself, and the African Union has deployed a small peacekeeping force to defend it. Daily violence has continued in the capital.

Dozens of residents in Mogadishu fled Tuesday after a night of mortar attacks, while another threat—disease—took its toll in the south. Doctors reported that as many as 22 people died in southern Somalia from a suspected cholera outbreak.

A group calling itself the Brigades of Tawhid and Jihad in the Land of Somalia claimed responsibility on Tuesday for the mortar attacks. It said in a statement posted on the Web site of Somalia’s routed Islamic movement that it attacked several parts of the capital where “infidels live.”

Amsterdam, March 19 (EMF) — A leading member of the TPLF-led Parliament, Samson Wolde Yohanes, an opposition MP from the Ethiopian opposition coalition (CUD), has applied for asylum in Belgium, EMF source said on Monday. Samson is currently in Brussels while his application is being processed by immigration authorities. Despite his immunity not to be arrested and imprisoned, Samson has been unlawfully imprisoned for five days in Awassa. Like other opposition MPs, Samson had been threatened to join the TPLF-led parliament and had to join without his will, he said. Samson was a lecturer at Awasa University.

Meles Zenawi is once again trying to fool the international community by trying to portray himself as a compassionate statesman who has lost much sleep over the kidnapping of the British diplomats in Afar. In spite of his best efforts to hide behind his Armani suit and silk ties, the man himself is not only one of Africa’s worst dictators but also an expert kidnapper. The terrorist group he is leading, the Tigray Peoples Liberation Front, has long been in all sorts of terrorist and criminal activities including armed insurrection, treason, murder, torture, bank robberies, mass detention, election fraud, corruption and kidnappings.

The worst mass kidnapping ever committed in the African continent was committed by none other than Meles Zenawi’s gang that kidnapped over 50,000 civilians in November 2005 and carted them to harsh concentration camps like Dedesa, Denkoro Chaka, Shewa Robit and Ziway.

As far as Afaris are concerned, Zenawi has betrayed them by handing over the Assab, a port they have been using since time immemorial, to his one time mentor Isaias Afeworki. So far there is little evidence whether the diplomats have been kidnapped by Afaris, the TPLF and its Eritrean counterpart. In any case, the TPLF has the worst record of kidnapping. The following incidents that I compiled from the MIPT Terrorist Knowledge Base website are just a few of the many cases of TPLF’s kidnappings and acts of terrorism. Let us not rush to blame Afaris for the kidnapping saga in a nation held hostage by Meles Zenawi & Co, the worst kidnappers of all time in Ethiopian history.

Incident Date: Feb. 17, 1988

ETHIOPIA. Members of the Tigray People’s Liberation Front abducted six European aid workers in Asmara. The victims were three Irish nuns, two Belgian doctors and a Dutch nurse. All were released a week later.

Incident Date: Oct. 1, 1987

ETHIOPIA. A French nurse, Sophie Bedon, was kidnapped by Tigrean rebels, Tigray Peoples Liberation Front (TPLF). The woman was taken hostage after an attack on an Ethiopian garrison in Rama. In the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, she was handed over to the French embassy after being held for over three weeks.

Incident Date: Mar. 8, 1986

ETHIOPIA. Two employees of the American relief agency World Vision were shot to death in the dining room of their residence compound in the northern town of Alamata. The victims were both Ethiopian nationals. According to western diplomatic sources, the attack marked the beginning of a new guerrilla offensive by the Tigre People’s Liberation Front, a well-armed, highly disciplined rebel army that has been fighting for more than a decade in northern Ethiopia against the Addis Ababa government.

Incident Date: Mar. 2, 1985

ETHIOPIA. Rebels seized a French disaster-relief aircraft, its five crew members and four medical staff members in the northern town of Lalibela. The plane had been flying supplies for Ethiopian villagers as part of the international effort to relieve the disastrous drought and famine. The Tigre People’s Liberation Front, a regional autonomy group active against the central government, was suspected. The hostages were freed a few days later.

Incident Date: Oct. 17, 1984

ETHIOPIA. Ten foreigners, including two American tourists, were seized by secessionist Ethiopian guerrillas, the TPLF, when they overran Lalibela. The captured include two Britons, an Australian, a Finn, three West German medics and a Swiss International Red Cross representative. An American tourist couple, a British national and a Swiss citizen were freed on October 30.

Incident Date: June 1, 1976

ETHIOPIA. Jon Swain, British correspondent for the Sunday Times of London, was captured by the Tigre People’s Liberation Front near Axum in mid-June. He was released in Khartoum on September 5, 1976. It was not known what negotiations, if any, led to his release.

It is no more disputable that Ethiopia is being ruled by Zenawi’s terrorist group that has no concern for the the plight of its over 68 million hostages. No amount of pretension can hide the glaring facts. What makes our case much worse is he fact that the terrorist ethnic junta is sponsored by the West.
