Hours after the United state
department has issued it,s annual report,putting Iran on
the toppest line of countries do sponsor terrorist,
invest.and rectuit them,the US has subsequently launched
an air strike apparently targetting what was reffered as
al-Qaeda known base in Somalia and millitant leader Aden
Hashi Ayraw ,the establisher of Alshabab movement,the
former millitary wing of islamic courts but now declared
their split.
from the Asmara based group saying it is too secular to
intermingle with the single minded youth..
Ayrow,the millitary commander and
his assistant Muhyadin, along with other dozens were
killed in that bombardment at about 3:00 am in a mid
night in his edge house in the somali central town of
Dusamareb.
Later a spokes man for the central command of US marines
confirmed the raid and hailed it as successful .
He seemed cheerful and triumphant ruling out any
possible fail outs as many other air strike emerged but
rejected any more details of how the attack was carried
out.only said after weeks of intesified intelligence
gatherings alqaeda,s top operative has been forced to
lay rest.
It is well understood that AC_130
US war planes hit a missile at his hard wooden built
house leaving him dead and many others and reducing the
house in to rubble.
The cruise was very violent and strong because the other
houses around were completly destroyed plus the
surronding trees and that clearly shows the deep hostile
between United state government and it,s restless
antagonists including alshabab.
Dusamareb residents were harrowed by the huge explosion
and flared in to streets only to find peices of human
bodies littered all around,a move which clearly rivives
the memories of many somalis and blatantly justifies
that the war between Somalia And America is far from
over.
American policy makers and think
tankers have repatedly admitted that the resistance
groups in many countries are gaining much support
inclusively in pakistan and East-africa and posing
undenable threat to US,and its parners and that report
may partially motivated the attack They vigorously
emphasized their assurance to be seriously committment
to hunt terrorists where ever they are ,no matter how
much it costs and no matter how big opposition they do
face.
Alshabab have been designated in
the list of terrorist groups by the US adminstration
under the pretext of being notrious and waging horrible
attacks against the UNited Nation recognised government
and it,s Ethiopian backers which enabled the depraved
and powerless Led Abdullahi yusuf administration to oust
the speedly flourishing Islamic courts and drive them
from power through Huge fund and logistic support From
Washington .
Ayrow had previously survived three
more attempts but the inspired and articulative man
found no way this time to escape.
He had been rarely met,filmed or interviewed due to the
unleashed search and his critical work of mobilizing,
operations.and training the fighters which made the US
more anxious
The man in his early 30 ths is said
to have been trained in Afghanistan with other leading
alqaeda actors,a claim the group denies and provoked
much anger and outrageous hit-backs From Alshabab saying
they are only freedom fighters and want Ethiopian
occuptaion to come to an ending sight and accuse
Washington in return of being infidels,aggressors and
Ethiopian sympathizers.
the offensive came at a time when
UN,s especial envoy to Somalia Ahmed Oulda Abdalla is
sweating too much to bring the two feuding sides
together in DJabuti in the coming weeks to engage a
dialoge of reconciliaion process and surely such attacks
can tarnish the image of possible power sharing deal and
also reflects the United state,s many folded political
faces in East africa and their unclear and wicked show
interest towards the somali people who are jostling with
prolonged drought and high scale of displacement
worsened by bitter conflicts and forgotten sufferings.
The thunderous planes dropping
heavy bombs to somali community who are in desperate
need for amenable assistance and lasting peace are fed
up with washington,s miscalculated and ill-prepared
attacks,usually targetting densely populated areas and
causing colleterial damage to both live stocks and
innocent civilians.
The last strike in Dusamareb saw a number of victims and
un necessary destruction.which could have been avoided .
The US should be held
accountability for the irretrievable losses and the
culture of the accustomed and flawed impunity should be
brought to an end.
Ethiopia, america,s dearest friend
in East Afrrica had soon had a big mouth which with it
extended to praise and sensually approve the attack
despite the uncertainity and doubt over it,s role and
involvement of this incident.
Al-shabab has not been neither
discouraged nor fragmentated by the killing of their
leader but more encouraged and united this is was the
message the group sent to US through their official
spokes man Muqtar Robow.
He said those Sheik ayrow had trained them will continue
conducting the Jihad(holly war) through his right path
with good faith and firm decision .
Analysts say more guerrilla hit and run attacks and
retaliatory actions will be predicted in the long term
as Ethiopians and government troops are too busy to
guard them selves than to ran after the unidentifiable
Al-shabab
United state blamed allegedly
several times of alshabaab having links with alqaeda but
it is hard precisely to establish their attachment to
Osama,s fighters and many somalians consider such
accusations baseless and not serving the somali cause
and interests as the group is more popular and seem
actors in somali.s political rifle and power struggle.
The United Nation members failed to
come to an agreement over who should be regarded as
terrorist and how to deal with them, not only that but
the real mandate and responsibilities used to root out
the terrorist activitists
United state has it,s own agenda,s
and tactics for dismantling whom it should call
terrorists in a disputed manners for example Hamas the
plastenian armed groups and Alshabab are both terrorists
for their brutal and cold-hearted actions,an idea both
parties detested and created a big vacuum among the
world leaders.
Hamas,Hezbollah and Alshabab are
all freedom fighters and liberating forces a according
to their manifistos and strategic plans , they say their
only minds are to have invaders out of their soil.
They embrace and share such ideas wholly deducing the
fundamental rights to live in a free and fearless
country.
International laws are violated in
day lights hence they simple mentioned in rotten papers
and never implemented ,UN agency lost the credibility
and powers to intervene the gloomy situations in failed
states like somalia while the super power govenment(US)
is totally down to earth to eliminate their rivals in
different areas around the global , there fore neither
faithful arbitrator nor just peace maker is born thus
peace in the world is un attended and merely pipe dream
fiction..
The youth are dauntless and pious
with all techniques to maintan the hard grip on promise
as they are mainly from somali clans and count on
civilian ovation more over they are guided by harline
and devoted leaders with domeering beliefs,just to rule
Somalia one day with sharia law.
w are most importantly and costly achievement in somalia,
every Clan shed blood and fought wars just looking for a
formadable and unobtainable stability in somalia .
What is more ugly is that when ever hopes are raised
there are those who dash them away.They are Ehiopian
spoilers and American architectures.
Alshabab says the attack was to
uplift and help the defeated Ethiopian soldiers while
united state says it will add some weight to expected
peace negotiations and to send shocking message to other
groups but one thing is more sure and reliable that the
wound of somali proplems woun't fade away soon and the
already growing sense and sentimental feeling in somalia
will get more fuels to the burning and violence wracked
nation.
Somali people are very furious and
exhausted caught between ethiopian Tanks one side and
Alshabab,s unexpected slain from other side and now
joined by america,s mid night air strike.
Mean while Alshabab has learnt some thing from US which
is to lounge attacks in dark night .while US has also
learnt from Al-shabab to make friends some times means
to lose others.
Sadly both have never learnt to endorse peace for it has
a breast to be sucked.
Ethiopia is not ready to withdraw
from somalia,America is always commited to it,s war
against terrorists and Alshabab are ever determined to
contunue their struggle that means Somali,s enigmatic
prolems is for ever.
Lastly five years of Iraq war and
after neutralizing Aden Hashi ayrow which may sound
death blow to Alshabab and little relief for united
state one thing is not accurately definable where the
mission has been accomplished or not ??!!!
