Anti-Ethiopian protests rock Somali capital
Posted: Saturday, January 6, 2007

They want it to appear as if this is just another one of those African conflicts. Of course, some African nations that are eager to get aid from the U.S. would support another chapter in the U.S. crusade.

Ethiopia: Meles Zenawi's Delusions of Grandeur
The Tigrayan minority regime in Ethiopia, which waged an unprecedented propaganda campaign exalting its prowess and might as it conducted its illegal war of aggression and invasion against the Union of Islamic Courts militia using various pretexts, including "defending Ethiopia's sovereignty", "routing terrorists", "crushing extremists", etc. etc. in violation of international law, UN Security Council Resolution 1725, the African Union Charter and boasting of "victory against Islamists", now wants the "international community" to bail it out of its self made quagmire and finance its illegal occupation of sovereign Somali territories.
