| Islamic Courts plea the world to force Ethiopia out of Somalia |
| 2006-07-26 |
| (SomaliNet) The powerful Council of Islamic Council (CIC) in the Somalia capital Mogadishu has issued a press release on Tuesday asking the world community to put pressure Ethiopian government to pull out its troops from Somalia territory. The statement said the regime in Addis Ababa has admitted to have sent thousands of its troops into Somalia particular Bay and Bakol regions in southwest of the country while the so-called Somali Transitional Federal Government continues to deny it. The Islamic Courts said they will invite the international community to visit all areas under its control to witness the facts. The Islamic Courts accused the Ethiopian government of harbouring some of the defeated warlords by the people's uprising as the current military movements by Ethiopia indicates how it is happy with recent peaceful developments in Mogadishu and in Somalia and parts of the country. The CIC draws the military intervention by Ethiopia as in violation of Somalia sovereignty and its territorial integrity, violates the United Nations arms embargo on Somalia, and jeopardizes the Khartoum peace talks between the TFG and Islamic Coorts. The Islamists also made it clear the Ethiopian invasion has subverted IGAD as the key organization responsible for the Somalia peace%2 |

| #3 Resisting the urge to grin. The Ethopians at least know how to fight the growing threat of Islamic "radicalism". I hope the start annexing land and forcing the Jihadi's into direct fire-fights. If worse come to worse I highly doubt we'll let Ethopia fall. At least I hope we won't. |

| #2 "all areas under its control" Ah, I think I see the problem. Funny how they can dish it out, but can't take it. Rather classic Islamonazi reaction. Council of Islamic Council Izzat something like the Department of Redundancy Department, only subhuman? |
