It is unbelievable that the so-called "international community" has allowed a mass murderer, a war lord, a killer of children, women and elderly to impose his murderous will on Somali people of Mogadishu. This killer and destroyer, the so-called "president", Abdillahi Ysuf, is busy right now, with his Etrhiopian and American supporters, shelling and destroying the Somali capital of Xamar, one of the most beutiful cities in Africa. This destruction of thousnads of years old city and its inhabitants by a rabid mass murderer and his criminal supporters from America and Europe will go down in Somali history as an act of horrible, horrible crime against Somali people. And we Somalis will rember this for a long time to come. Our enemies will never be forgoten.!!!!!

Is there a "international community" out there? Is anyone listening to the cries of babies and women who are being slaughterd by "a government" supported by Americans and Ethiopians?

I’m from Somaliland and will not allow our government to be silent even though the opposition parties have spoken against the genocide committed against Hawiye Clan by the Tigrinya regime.
This war has nothing to do with war on terror or Islamist. It’s a war led by Majerteen Warlord A. Yusuf who wants to commit crime agains humanity. He misled previous Ethiopian Government led by Mingisto but Mingisto didn't fall his trap and put him in Jail where he belongs unfortunately Meles Zenawi has other agenda but will fell. Times online should contact former president of Ethiopia Mingisto Haile Miriam to find out why TFG leader A. Yusuf was in jail in 80’s. My humble opinion is don’t trust this butcher if the world is ready to save humanity and put him where he belongs in Jail.

America yet again causing international problems based on their own agenda. The Islamic courts were working and providing peace in the country and seemed to have good out look regarding the west, they never had a chance to govern long enough to say one way or another. I can't see Sudan trusting the western countries anytime soon now.

Ethiopian troops and the militia of the transitional government committed war crime and crimes against humanity by purposefully targetting civilian neighbourhoods far from the fighting area. Furthermore, Ethiopian troops intentionally targetted and destroyed two medical centres in Mogadishu. Abdulahi Yusuf, warlord cum president told VOA Somali service that his troops and Ethiopian forces will target civilians. If that not a clear case of war crime, I do not know. What the international comuunity and all the human rights organisations need to do is to launch an investigation as to how to bring those crininals to justice. We have to remember also that there will never be any peace in Somalia without justice.

What is happening in Mogadishu, Somalia is a war crime committed against unarmed Somalis. The world should see this for what it is and ignore what Ethiopia and its puppets are saying.

Please visit this website and listen what the president of the Somalia TNG is saying. He is talking about his plans of how he wants to wipe out the Hawiya Clan. This is his authentic voice and any Somali would recognize. Please listen and spread the word. Thanks.

What is happening in my country is an act of genocide of mass killing civilians using war planes, artillery shelling, and all type of military equipments as define by article 2 of the convention of the prevention and punishment of the crime of genocide as “any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group," There are no terrorist in Somalia the only terror is the sound of the tank firing, continues shelling, and the war planes dropping bombs on children and elderly people, where is the UNITED NATION on this where is the world on this why aren’t they condemning and putting stop to this inhuman acts, this is causing continues severing and destruction of lives, Please write to your MP’s or who ever you think can bring this to light so that you can end the mass killings of innocent civilians, Thank you and may god bring peace and happiness to all.

I am from Mogadishu and it is clear war crimes are being committed in my hometown. Abdullahi Yusuf, Ga'amadheere, Salad Ali Jeele and the Ethiopian leadership and military should remember what happened to good friends of the US who committed war crimes in support of US foreign policy such as General Pinochet of Chile. The US could not protect him when he was charged with Human rights violations in Europe and Chile. The so-called Transitional government in Somalia is a Vichy regime in Somalia.

Mohamed Hussein, Mogadishu, Somalia

The only time Somalia seemed to enjoy some relative order and peace over the last 15 years was when the Islamic Courts were in control. Instead of recognizing and supporting that progress the contempt of the US and Allies towards Islam has refuelled this current bloodshed [with the support of the so-called transitional government]. War on Terror?! War OF Terror more like! Very sad situation indeed.

Sue, Stamford Hill, London,

I am from somalia and I am part of Hawiye Clan. What many are claiming: that there is fighting between hawiye clan and Darod clan is totally baseless. Remind you, most of the minsters of the government are from diverse group of Hawiye clan. These members of hawiye clan, who are part of the government are supportive of the ongoing disarmament of Mogadishu people. If you need veryfication for this, you can contact with the Prime Minister: Ali Gedi, Deputy Minster of Defense: Salad Jelle, or The Minister of Interior: Ga'madhere. All these powerful positioned members of the Somali government are diverse members of the majority subclans of Hawiye clan, and these government minsters are supportive of the efforts to fight against the Radical ISlamic Courts recieving support from International terrorists.
So I would advise the international community to contact with the government officials for clarification and not listen to the sympathisers of Radicals, who are playing the clanish card.

Awo, fairfax, Virginia

So called "Christian" forces supported by the west should withdraw from Somalia and leave the Islamic people alone to choose their own form of government. The Ethopians are interfering in Somalia's internal affairs. Get them out of there.
