Ethiopian fighters are beating the Somali Islamists.
Islamic fighters were in a tactical retreat Tuesday, a senior Islamic leader said, as government and Ethiopian troops advanced on three fronts in a decisive turn around in the battle for control of Somalia.
Somalia’s internationally backed government called on the Council of Islamic Courts to surrender and promised them amnesty if they lay down their weapons and stop opposing the government, spokesman Abdirahman Dinari said from Baidoa, the seat of the government.
Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed, leader of the Council of Islamic Courts’ executive body, said the group had asked its troops to withdraw from some areas.
“The war is entering a new phase,” he said. “We will fight Ethiopia for a long, long time and we expect the war to go everyplace.”
This is very good news. Now if only someone would intervene in Sudan.
“We will fight Ethiopia for a long, long time and we expect the war to go everyplace.â€
Isn’t that what the Global Jihad is all about?
At least he is calling a spade a spade.
Find them,fight them,finish them. It’s the only dialogue that these jihadis understand !
I would say – let’s hold the horses for a while. Here comes a word of caution from a wise person.
The enemy of my enemy is not always my friend.

It is possible that this may be like the Iran/Iraq war. It is something in which you wish both sides a lot of success.
Unfortunately, the innocent civilians caught in the middle will be the ones to suffer.
