"Somali Islamic leader snubs UN-backed accord; Hope and doubts linger over peace in volatile region" by Mohamed Sheikh Nor, Associated Press | June 11, 2008
MOGADISHU, Somalia - A leader of the ousted Islamic movement rejected a UN-brokered peace deal between the government and an opposition alliance, saying yesterday that the insurgents will fight on.
I love starting off AP pieces with Zionist shit-spew journalism, don't you, readers?
The Somali government and the opposition Alliance for the Reliberation of Somalia agreed Monday to end months of violence and set a timetable for the withdrawal of Ethiopian troops supporting Somalia's fragile government.
The deal was an important step toward peace, but it remains to be seen whether hardline members of the opposition, who have denounced those who took part in the UN-led talks in Djibouti, will respect the accord.
Or whether some false-flag attacks will shatter it.
Does Israel respect the U.N.?
"The so-called deal is rubbish and inconsequential," said Sheik Hassan Dahir Aweys, who is on US and UN lists of terrorism suspects. "It will not in any way result in peace."
Insurgents attacked a police station in Mogadishu yesterday, killing two police officers and a civilian, police said.
"The fighting was terrifying. We were taking cover for nearly an hour," a resident, Abdiwali, Abdulle said.
A sticking point in talks between the government and the opposition is the withdrawal of Ethiopian troops, who have been in Somalia since 2006 to help government forces battle Islamic fighters. The opposition views the Ethiopians as an occupying force....
I love Zionist-sanitized accounts of the past, don't you?
Meanwhile, Somalia is facing a humanitarian crisis aggravated by high global food prices and drought. The UN said yesterday that 3.5 million Somalis will need humanitarian aid by the end of the year unless conditions improve.
Yeah, "meanwhile."
The SUFFERING of BLACK PEOPLE is an AFTERTHOUGHT to AmeriKa's RACIST, Zionist press!!!!

Not arguing about the AmeriKan shit media anymore, folks!!!!
Members of the Security Council visited Djibouti last week to encourage Somalia's government and the opposition alliance to hold direct peace talks.
Did they BRING ANY SUPPLIES with them, or did they just burn up valuable fuel and pollute the planet with their greenhouse gas-belching planes?
The opposition ruled out face-to-face talks unless the government sets a timetable for the withdrawal of Ethiopian troops, while President Abdullahi Yusuf said Ethiopian forces would not leave until fighting stops and a UN peacekeeping force is deployed.
The turning point in talks Monday was not immediately clear."
Maybe this had something to do with it, huh?
"More than 20 people were killed and 80 wounded Sunday in especially heavy fighting in Mogadishu, Somalia’s war-ravaged capital, where government troops face a deepening insurgency.
The trouble started around dawn, when Somalian troops began searching homes near Mogadishu’s main market, looking for weapons. In response, heavily armed insurgents flooded into the streets."
It's what is known as RESISTANCE to OCCUPATION -- and it usually involves ALL SOMALIS in regards to Ethiopia and their occupation.
