WOMEN danced for ISLAMISTS?
Yeah, and cats and dogs are living together, too!!!!
MOGADISHU, Somalia - Somali women danced in the streets and antiaircraft missiles were blasted into the air yesterday to celebrate the election of Sheikh Sharif Ahmed as president.
The moderate Islamist leader won the presidency in an all-night parliament session in neighboring Djibouti yesterday and vowed to end the decades-old conflict in the Horn of Africa nation, make peace with neighbors, address the problem of piracy, and rule with honesty and justice.
He will certainly try; however, with the U.S protecting their thug pirates and funding their thug warlords as an "offshoot terror group"
Analysts said Ahmed has a real possibility of reuniting Somalis, given his Islamist roots, the backing of parliament, and support from once hostile Western nations.
Does that mean the U.S. is going to BUTT OUT? So ALL the DEAD PEOPLE and the SUFFERING REFUGEES were for NOTHING? Right back where we were almost three years ago?
Ahmed was chairman of the Islamic Courts Union that ran Mogadishu for six months in 2006 before Ethiopian soldiers drove them from power....
Yeah, the ETHIOPIANS didn't INVADE at our behest or anything. Don't mention that the SIX-MONTH ISLAMIC RULE was the MOST PEACE Somalia has seen in a long time!
In Mogadishu, thousands of supporters converged in the capital's war-battered stadium chanting "long live Sheikh Sharif."
"Welcome Sharif, we are tired of war. Let Somalis join hands," Farhia Hassan, a mother of three, said as she waved a green branch symbolizing peace....
That's right!
Ahlu Sunna Waljamaca, an Islamist group, said they would support Ahmed but warned him not to reach out to al-Shabab, their archrival. The group said it was not interested in politics but in the protection of Islam.
Yup, there is your dose of propaganda.
Ahmed has said he will try to correct what he sees as the misinterpretation of Islam by some insurgents and will welcome fighters in a new national security force, as long as they are committed to peace.
The ones that are not are most likely in the employ of the CIA!
Somalia's parliament met all week in neighboring Djibouti to choose the new president....
How come this is the first I've heard of it? What is with the selective coverage of politics, MSM?
Not all in Somalia celebrated. "Sharif's election was illegitimate and we shall never recognize him and his government," said Warsame Abdi Samatar, information minister for Somalia's semiautonomous Puntland.
Those must be our guys!
Some politicians from Puntland said they interpreted the comments as a warning to the new president to make sure the semiautonomous region is given senior government positions....

Any way you cut it, occupiers gotta leave.
So CUI BONO, readers?
"Peacekeepers kill 18 Somali citizens
MOGADISHU, Somalia - African Union peacekeepers opened fire yesterday on civilian vehicles and fatally shot 18 people after an AU vehicle was hit by a land mine, officials and a witness said.
Oh yeah, they gotta leave!!!!
The peacekeepers fired at three minibus taxis carrying civilians after the land mine damaged an AU vehicle in the Somali capital, Mogadishu, said the city's deputy mayor, Abdifitah Ibrahim Shawey. AU peacekeeping force spokesman Bahoku Barigye said the Ugandan contingent of the AU force was responding to gunfire and he does not know whom they hit.
Is that Orwellian or what -- "peacekeeping force?"
"A land mine hit one of our vehicles and then we came under small arms fire. We did not intentionally kill civilians," Barigye said, adding that one Ugandan soldier was wounded.
No, they never, ever, "intentionally" do it -- it JUST HAPPENS!!!!
Why does every government sound like Israel?
The shooting took place on a road in southern Mogadishu linking the presidential palace and the airport. Both are among the government installations the AU force guards as part of its mandate in Mogadishu.
I love how ILLEGAL AGRESSION becomes a MANDATE for OCCUPATION!
"There was a huge explosion, which blew up one of the Ugandan military vehicles," said Mohamud Abdisamad, a local resident. "Afterwards, Ugandan soldiers started shooting at people in the three buses wildly."
The Ugandans need to LEAVE RIGHT NOW -- before they KILL MORE SOMALIS!
"What happened here was a clear massacre against civilians," said a senior police officer, General Yusuf Hussein Dumal. "This is not peacekeeping."
--more--"
Any coincidence the shootings occurred on the same day that Khadafy was elected to lead the African Union?
