![]() Robow vowed that his forces would continue attacking the Ethiopian troops, who began withdrawing from Mogadishu on Friday. He pledged that the fighting would not stop even after the Ethiopian troops' withdrawal is completed. "As long as there are crusader forces, be they from Africa, IGAD or the UN, or forces of the apostate government, the Jihad (holy war) would go on," he said. The spokesman played downed the taking over of some police stations in Mogadishu by a rival Islamist group as "a distraction". |
