Moderate elected as Somalia president, Al-Shabab threatens
The moderate Islamist leader Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed was elected as the new president for Somalia overnight by the Somali Parliament in presidential contest held in Dijbouti as the Islamist rebels threatened to wage war against the new government.Speaking to the Parliament, the elected president clerk Sheik Ahmed said he would bring total change and end the crisis in the horn of African nation 'Somalia' promising peace with the neighboring countries."we will rule the country with honesty and justice and the Somali people will get their rights back," Sheik Ahmed, former Islamic Courts Union leader won over majority vote in the election against Maslah Mohamed Siad,the son of former president Siad Barre.Before the vote for presidency in Djibouti, the radical group of Al-Shabab, which on Washington's list of foreign terrorist groups, said it would began new wave of hit-and-run attacks on the government.Many Somalis show doubt on how the new president can succeed to impose law and order in Somalia as the Islamist harliners of Al-Shabab vowed to disrupt any government formed by the international community which they see it as enemy to thier Islamic will.Ahmed urged his rival Islamits to stop the war and join the peace process and warned against what he called 'the misterpretation of the Islamic religion' which he meant the Islamist radial group of Al-Shabab that controls much of southern parts in Somalia.In Mogadishu and other key towns in Somalia, people turned out in celebration and showed thier total support to the new president Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed.

We Are Winning the War on Terrorism in Horn of Africa
The threat is from violent extremists who are a small minority of the world's 1.3 billion Muslims, the threat is real. They distort Islam. They kill man, woman and child; Christian and Hindu, Jew and Muslim. They seek to create a repressive caliphate. To defeat this enemy, we must understand who we are fighting against, and what we are fighting for.
