Somalia: War with Ethiopia inevitable, Islamists say
2006-08-26
(SomaliNet) The powerful Islamists controlling the capital of Somalia Mogadishu and other key parts in southern the country said on Friday it is more inevitable that war rage between its fighters and Ethiopian troops who had already occupied parts of Mudug region in central Somalia.
“Sheikh Ahmed urged the Islamic Courts to exercise the children with the Islamic religion to get more martyrs...”
The leader of executive council of Islamic Courts Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed said his Islamic militiamen will engage in fierce fighting with Ethiopian troops if Ethiopians don't stop provocation against Somali's soil. "The Ethiopians (our enemy) reject the rising Islamic light and they use unwise so called Somalis," Sheikh Ahmed said in a ceremony on opening new Islamic Court named Nasrudin in Mogadishu. Sheikh Ahmed urged the Islamic Courts to exercise the children with the Islamic religion to get more martyrs.

#5  God, I am so looking forward to this : the Islamists make their move in the rump state of Somalia, and now do the expanionist move on the Puntlanders and Somalilanders. So, all of the really committed Islamists are in on the move, and the Ethiopian Army can clean all the major rats out of the nest with the coming war. Hopefully, the Ethiopians will be merciless in their approach to the Somali Islamists.
