Somali Transitional Government Militia Kills a Civilian For His Mobile In Mogadishu

The copy-Ethiopia TFG militia killed an unarmed civilian near City View hotel in Mogadishu. In light of casual argument the victim tried to retake his mobile phone which was confiscated by the armed bandits, he was sprayed with bullets of an automatic AK47 and dropped dead on the spot.

The killings by the TFG militia are very common in Mogadishu. During the past month or so, since the new armed bandits who were trained in Ethiopia and known as copy-Ethiopia, arrived in Mogadishu, they killed people in broad day light perhaps sensing they were given the licence to kill.

The young man killed today was accompanied by a friend whose mobile was also robbed by the same TFG robbers while they travelled together at Florence and Hararialle Intersection. Apparently, he did not try to get his mobile back so he survived. But unfortunately, his friend died trying to get his cell phone back.

The two men ran away earlier from Bakaraha market which was hit continuously with artillery by the TFG militia that were attacked yesterday near Somali Villa, the Presidential palace.

ICU Fighters Force Restaurants To Close During Fasting Hours in Beledweyne, Hiran, Somalia

Members of the ICU in Beledweyne shut down local restaurants where Ethiopian troops are said to have been buying and eating their meals during the fasting hours of holly month of Ramadan. 
 
As the Ramadan started two days ago, the Islamic Courts Union fighters vowed to destroy any restaurant or shop selling ready food for eating at site, specially those located at near or at the areas the Ethiopian troops control.  They also warned anyone found in the act - eating at the restaurant-  will be detained.
 
The Ethiopian troops and the ICU fighters both occupy the capital city of the Hiiraan.  Beledweyne has been a fighting front for the two forces for some time now and it seems neither one of them is in full control of the city during the Ramadan.
 
In some parts of the City, restaurants are seen open during the day hours to serve non-fasting secular individuals as well as members of the occupying Tigre troops.  The majority restaurants, however, located in areas under the ICU control are closed during the fasting hours.

Ethiopian Troops Start Withdrawing From Somalia

Ethiopian troops in Tanker military vehicles depart their Mogadishu's residential base today.  At least 18 military vehicles carrying Ethiopian troops were seen leaving Mogadishu taking the road from Mogadishu to Baidoa.
 
It is not clear their destination, or how many of them still remain in Mogadishu as the number of Ethiopian troops left Mogadishu is unknown. However, sources indicate two different scenarios for their departure from the Capital city of Somalia.
 
Some sources claim the Ethiopian army's departure of Mogadishu is a first step to Ethiopia's withdrawal from Somalia, a scenario hinted by Melez Zenawi earlier last week.  Other sources contradict that the Tigres are simply moving their infantry to new bases for better security of their army.  One should note there is still a large number of Ethiopian troops in Mogadishu.
 
It was not long ago that the Transitional Federal Government and the leaders of the liberation army agreed to sign a peace deal which dictates the Ethiopian troops to leave residential areas as whole.  It is possible this may be why the Tigre army is vacating their bases in Mogadishu.

6 Civilians Killed By Former Mogadishu Mayor's Militia In Mogadishu, Somalia

On August 30, 2008, members of the TFG militia, specifically those under the command of the former Mogadishu Mayor, Mohammed Dhere, executed 6 civilians in the Ba'ad market which is the second largest market in Mogadishu. Mayor
 
As the holly month of Ramadan approaches, residents of Mogadishu crowd the markets to gather food in preparation for the holly month.  Unfortunately, the gathering of many unarmed civilians provides the TFG Militia with many targets including women, children and important businessmen. 
 
This is not the first incident where TFG militia armed with automatic weapons entered markets at the heart of the city and murdered shoppers and businessmen in broad daylight.  In addition to killing random victims, the TFG militia also rob stores and detain whoever they want. 
 
In Mogadishu, it is normal never to hear from those the TFG militia, including copy-Ethiopia, detain unless they pay tariffs.  Most often though, the TFG detain businessmen whom they think may own properties and demand money for their release.  Killing civilians is a way of announcing their seriousness and that they mean business.
 
Currently, the Ba'ad market is closed as the shop keepers are worried they may be targeted by the TFG militia raiding the market.

Somali TFG Police Clash with Ethiopian Trained TFG militia: Reported on Somchat.com

 
The Somali Transitional Government Police in deadly clashes with the TFG's Copy Ethiopia army in Afgoye in the Lower Shabelle region. Residents of Afgoye report that major fighting is taking place in the heart of the agriculturally rich city coming from both sides of the TFG militias. So far, no casulties have been reported from the hostile areas but are expected to arise as the fighting cools down.

The TFG copy Ethiopia army was trained in Ethiopia for the purpose of one day replacing the Ethiopian army and defending the Transitional Federal Government. So far, they have conducted robberies, murders, rape, and displacements of the Southern Somali populations. Earlier this month, the took part in killing 75 civilians in a refugee camp.

No only are they not favoured by the other groups of the TFG such as the Police, but also the Copy Ethiopia militia are targetted by anti-government and anti-Ethiopia reliberationists such as Al-Shabab and ICU armies. As a result, several hundreds of the original 3000 Copy Ethiopia troops have surrendered to anti-Ethiopian fighters who gave them amnesty after disarming them.

Today's fighting shows how far the Copy Ethiopia are from what the Ethiopians are said to have trained for. Instead of fighting the anti-government force, they cause too distress and fear among the civilians. And now, they are fighting other forces of the government they are supposed to protect by being in a face off with the TFG Police.
