Ethiopian troops reach in southern region

Ethiopian troops with armored vehicles and Somali militias have reportedly reached in Bakol region in south western Somalia, witnesses said on Saturday. Residents said the Ethiopian troops started operations and troop movement in Yeed village in Bakol region where they reached on Saturday. The people in Bakol region have expressed concern about the Ethiopian troops who reached in the region. The move comes as the speaker of Somalia’s parliament Sheik Adan Mohamed Nor demanded last Saturday from neighboring countries to send their troops in Somalia. The Ethiopian government did not rule out sending troops to Somalia again but it said there has not been danger against Ethiopia from Somali Islamist Insurgents. The Ethiopian troops are now in Kalaber junction in Hiraan region in central Somalia and they have also made operations in Elberde town in Bakol region days ago.
Ethiopia pulled out its troops from Somalia in mid January 2009 after two years of ill-fated occupation. Thousands of civilians were killed by shabaab Somalia and millions were displaced during their presence in the country.

  1. Ethiopia prefers to have somalia unstable. Thanks to somalia being lawless for 20yrs and counting ethiopia and kenya along with other african countries have had there infrastructure built from somalias living in there nations. So this fake help does not fool anyone. Green snake in green grass is hard to spot for the rookies but for at trained eye not so.
