Ethiopia, Egypt pledge more troops for Darfur

ADDIS ABABA (Reuters) - Ethiopia and Egypt will each send 850 troops early in the new year to serve with a joint United Nations-African Union force in Sudan's Darfur region, an AU official told Reuters on Monday.

AU troops in Darfur were swapping their green headgear for U.N. blue berets on Monday as the joint force formally takes over peacekeeping duties from the all-African peacekeepers.

The worthless woyane is sending innocent kids everwhere to show that it belong to international community. The fact of the matter is Woyane is is a group of badits that poised in terriozing the Ethiopian people. It does not have a mandate to send troops anywhere.

I wonder if Egypt is sending her troops for a genuine contribution to AU's blue helmet army, or a bunch of spies to pass on the movement of UN's movement in Darfur Sudan, to the government of Sudan, decoded under the blue helmet.

These TPLF troops are known, not for peace keeping, but for raping, none judiciary killing, and terrorizing the innocents. And it happend in different parts of the Ethiopian empire, and also during their previous so called "peace keeping" mission in Ruwanda/Burundi, and Liberia. Many of them had to be kicked out and sent back from those missions.

Not only that, but the comment from one of the UN mission leaders in Ruwanda - " the Ethiopians (TPLF soldiers) are ill trained, ill equiped, and undicipilined" .

DOWN WITH WOYANE!!!!

Thats good, Ethiopia is playing a crucial role in peacekeeping. It played a leading role in peace keeping
mission in Rwanda, Burundi, Sieraleon, and now in Sudan. WE are proud of our troops, its shows the military capability and dedication of our troops, our troops are disciplined and know how to operate under difficult circumstances irrespective of the terrain, climate and cultural, religious and language barriers. VIVA EPRDF/ETHIOPIA.

Comment from: Aba Tigist [Visitor]
This is good for Darfur to get internationally experienced Ethiopian soldiers. Their peace keeping duties was much heralded in Liberia. Ethiopian troops were much liked as they were very disciplined and very helpful. This is also good for Ethiopia as it beefs up its status as Africas peace maker, to the chagrin of Eritrea, and its allies: CUD, OLF, ONLF, Yarbegnoch Ginbar etc.

Other benefits to Ethiopia includes giving the fighting soldiers a chance to size up the army of its sworn enemy, Egypt (It is the Nile stupid !). A third benefit is the high salary of the peace keepers would be a benefit to the defense forces of Ethiopia and their families. Good job Meles, it seems that you have not lost sharpness after 17 years in power. Keep working for Ethiopia.

TO BOXOO,

Your tribal haterade to the galant and intelegent people of Tigrai is intolerable. You even call the Ethiopian army the TPLF army. Why so much hate? Why so much propoganda which you know not to be true but you know that nobody believes it to. It is your Shoa culture. You are a victim of it. You grew up hating everybody, jelous of everybody suspicious of everybody, oromay you will never change. Last time a friend of my told me that how Ethiopia would prosper and live happily only if the Shoans succeed from the rest of Ethiopia. Unfortunatly I critisize my government for puting you with the Amhara region. Except language you have nothing in common with, say, Gonder or Gogam. You dont even look like them. You look like more from South Sudan and Central Africa where you originally came. If you dont believe it read the slave trade in Shoa. Good examples are Mengistu and Menelike who was born from a slave. More than that you have this ugly pagan names like Debelalkachew, Shenabachew, Irabachew etc.

Boxoo: where did you get the information that, the Ethiopian solders being kicked out off their peace keeping missions duty from Rwanda?. The last time I read and heard, Ethiopian peace keeping solders under the blue helmet army were praised and received an honorary medals, for an outstanding service to the international community services. You are a pathological layer.

Yes, Ethiopia is committed to assist Sudan and the entire region. Ethiopia is willing to send up to 5,000 peacekeepers to Darfur to save lives. Thanks to our brave men and women in the armed forces who are making us proud! We love you and we appreciate your services.

To Fox , Bulbula hagos,Boxoo, Philly:well , well whats going on ?misserable eritreans. One thing is for sure nobody wants your millitary (which tortures its own citizen) for any operation . you are useless outside your desert , camel hangout country.From now on I will remind you and your likes where to focus your hate:SOURCE:AMERCICAN CHRONICLE-Just in the last eight years the number of Protestant Christians killed is horrifying. The demonstrations in London last week against the killings and torture of the Eritrean government shows how much desperate the situation is getting in Eritrea. In the last three years, the Eritrean government has already murdered 35,000 students and opposition supporters all around the nation. The worse part about all of this is not the number of dead but how harmless the victims were. The refugee camps in Sudan and Ethiopia have already overflowed with innocent Eritreans fleeing from their country. The fact that the Eritrean government has insulted the American government calling it "imperialist" was not a surprise since American, Kenyan and Ethiopian governments are second questioning the role of Eritrea in Somalia. Already widely reported by the United Nations, Eritrea is arming and helping the jihadists in Southern Somalia.

To FOX , BULBULA HAGOS,BOXOO, PHILLY:Do you guys should start clean up your own mess. If you need help , ask. Here is dose of realty for now: SOURCE : US DEPUTY ASSISTANCE SECRETARY OF STATE SPEAKING AT A FORUM:"The exception, he said, was Eritrea, which he described as experiencing “economic decline and a lack of freedoms, for the press and political expression, [and] widespread and arbitrary conscription”. He described President Issayas as “increasingly tyrannical and megalomaniacal”, actively seeking to destabilize the region “fueling regional insurgencies and supporting groups affiliated with terrorists.” He said Eritrea supported the al-Qaida affiliated to al-Shabaab militia in Somalia in an effort to undermine the Somali political process, opting to support terrorists and spoilers rather than uniting behind a common strategy to achieve lasting peace and stability in Somalia as the rest of the region and the international community had done. The Eritrean government, he said, had fabricated a national mythology by demonizing Ethiopia in order to get complete compliance with internal autocratic policies. “Democracy and economic opportunity remain purely theoretical concepts for the people of Eritrea”. Mr. Swan described the reality in Eritrea as “atrocious”, with the government allowing no opposition parties, no non-government organizations, no private media. Mr. Swan said that Eritrea’s ruling cabal, to the great regret of the US, was leading Eritrea towards increased domestic repression and hardship, as well as regional and international isolation."

PEACE SPOILER IN SOMALIA IS GOING TO GET KEEPING DOLLAR IN DAFUR.

TPLF/MELESE has been craving to get there army involved in peace keeping force since they came to power.

The desire is not only for international recognition but it is for dollar for tigrian bank aaccount.

The nation that keep its people under the gun and is involved in killing and genocide the somalia can

It's not only by sending troops that the Human Right crisis shall resolved. The only solution is how to help the peoples of the region to get rid from tyrant regimes and buil a democratic system.The TPLF facist regime specially the tyrant Zenawi have no legitimacy to send troops in the Darfur ,everyone knows that they have comitted the same crimes at home and in Somalia.These guys have no lesson to give for nobody specially on the Human Right issues .

So CUD Please contact Prof Almariam and hold a vigil supporting Kenyan opposition. You may have a chance to blame the EPRDF for it.ki ki ki, Now we are sending our troops to keep peace in darfur Sudan, this is the militart capability of Ethiopia. Our troops have bravely served in Brundi, Rwanda, and sieraleon. Its contribution to bring peace and stability in Somalia and averting the danger of extremism which Ethiopia faced is amazing aswell.

Mogadishu 01, Jan. 07 (Sh.M.Network)-President Yoweri Museveni has recalled the UPDF contingent spokesman in Somalia, Capt. Paddy Ankunda, to replace Maj. Felix Kulayigye as the chief defence and army publicist.



Mr Museveni's directive through the Chief of Defence Forces, Gen. Aronda Nyakairima, at the weekend is also to affect 34 other senior UPDF officers that have been sent to various military academies in Kenya, Zambia, Tanzania and Kimaka in Jinja.



Outgoing defence spokesman, Maj. Kulayigye confirmed the developments in a telephone interview yesterday.



"I am leaving this Friday. Capt. Paddy Ankunda has been appointed to take charge while I am on the course," Maj. Kulayigye said.



Maj. Kulayigye will be going to Karen Defence Staff College in Kenya for one year military course. In Somalia, Capt. Ankunda, will be replaced by Capt. Barigye Bahoku, who has been the government spokesman during negotiations with Joseph Kony's Lords Resistance Army (LRA) in Juba

MOGADISHU, Somalia Dec 31 (Garowe Online) - A pregnant mother and her
five young children died in overnight Sunday clashes in the Somali
capital Mogadishu, the surviving father said today.

A seventh victim who was visiting the home also died when a mortar
slammed into the residence, according to the father, Madey Sufi Moallim.
Mr. Moallim said his family recently returned from Elasha Biyaha, a
stretch of land between Mogadishu and Afgoye where thousands of families
have fled to in recent months, living in makeshift refugee camps.

He said his wife was seven months pregnant, adding that he was not at
home when the deadly mortar hit.

Another mortar hit a house near Mr. Moallim's home in north Mogadishu,
witnesses said.

Two women, a mother and her daughter, were wounded in the second home.

Other mortars hit military installations in Mogadishu used by Ethiopian
troops and African Union peacekeepers, including the international
airport and the former ministry of defense building, residents said.

Muktar Robow "Abu Mansur," spokesman for the Al-Shabaab guerrillas
waging war on the government, claimed "victory" in last night's clashes.

He said the Al-Shabaab fighters wanted to inflict casualties on the AU
peacekeepers from Uganda and Burundi, saying that last night such an
attack "became possible."

Abu Mansur denied that any of the Al-Shabaab fighters were wounded in
Sunday night's attacks.

Capt. Paddy Ankunda, spokesman for the AU Mission in Somalia (AMISOM),
dismissed the other side's claim of victory.

He said a group of guerrillas in an armored truck attacked AU
peacekeepers at the KM4 junction in central Mogadishu.

"Our soldiers chased away the attackers.and also chased away another
group that was launching rockets from the distance," Capt. Andkunda said
on Monday.

There was no casualty report about the mortars that hit Ethiopian bases
in Mogadishu, including the former ministry of defense building.

Dahir "Dheere" Mohamed, an official at Medina Hospital, told Garowe
Online that 25 wounded civilians were admitted to the hospital since
Sunday night.

Somalia's government invited Ethiopian troops into the country a year
ago to help quell a powerful Islamist movement.

The Islamists have since regrouped and have waged a relentless series of
attacks, including assassinations, face-to-face combat, roadside
bombings and mortar attacks.
Mogadishu's Islamist fighters have demanded that all foreign troops, and
especially the Ethiopian army, to withdraw from Somalia or they will
continue their armed struggle.

Comment from: united ogaden [Visitor]
It’s unknown why the troops with thrown and where they went to.







The withdrawal of these troops came as heavy clash between government military and police troops occurred in that parish on Tuesday which caused the death of two soldiers from the two sides and the wound of other one.







The clash is said to have began after the soldiers have disputed the extortion money they take from the civilian vehicles use in the districts roads.

To United Ogaden : So whats your point ? Read carefully the following copy and paste---Comment from: united ogaden [Visitor]---YOU SEE IT it says COMMENT . Let me repeat it for you COMMENT. Thats what it is you comment about the issue at hand . when you want to put related news , quote important point and lets here your opinion how it related to the title.OTHERWISE dont waste our time .everybody is here because they have computer acceses and they know how to navigate and gate the news regarding ethiopia.BY THE WAY WHATEVER GARBAGE NEWS YOU BROUGHT HERE . It doesnt change the fact that Ethiopia is the power in the horn. Before 1998 we said no more to war after the fall of Mengstu and put our defense forces and budget to the minimum. But some fools from the north miscalculated us and THEY WOKE UP THE NAPPING LION. you know what happened ? We taught them unforgetable lesson .We crushed them within weeks.After that we said NEVER AGAIN NEVER AGAIN we will be caught taking a nap. So OUR MILITARY MIGHT IS READY AND DECISIVE to take action any where , any time with in short period of time. The result is out in the open for the whole world to see. Did Eritrea tried again to do what they did before ?NO. Did you see what happened to ONLF ? It took us days not months to crush those cocoroches. They are out of the game. What about UIC who braged they are going to prey in addis mosque within weeks of declaring jihad on ethiopian ? Our millitary showed them how its done the other way around . THE ONLY THING ERITREANS,ONLF AND UIC HAS LEFT IS there FALSE PROPAGANDA MACHINE ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND IN WESTERN MEDIA -AND THATS ALSO GETTING OLD. Every body is tired of your bullshit stories-you are not even good at it. When you fabricate stories and myths be creative. Any way DONT MESS WITH US. RESPECT.

I'm proud of any soldier that fights to secure our country and eliminate those who threaten us. This particular peacekeeping troops which are to be sent to Sudan though makes me, not only, proud but I also feel sorry for them (for some obvious reasons).

ethiopian man
last week or before u gave ur view about my comment about on "Mengistu to Zimbabwe" issue. What the biggest joke of the year(2007 obviously)is that u DON'T have any idea what he was up to and I don't find it worthy to give you the whole info since you already seem to oppose any comment that possibly isn't good for tplf. But the one thing that makes me laugh (and at the same time feel sorry)is that all of you out there that support one political org. always take "support/love" to be synonymous with "hate/not listen to" voices that oppose yours.
