ANAA: Yemen’s foreign minister said on Wednesday that Sanaa could protect its regional waters and would take threats seriously after Al-Qaeda’s Yemen-based wing called for a blockade of the Red Sea and a regional jihad.Yemen also vowed to keep up strikes on Al-Qaeda.Western powers fear Yemen could become a failed state in which the global militant group could thrive.“The Yemeni government takes Al-Qaeda threats seriously, and the security apparatus will deal with them,” the Defense Ministry’s online “September 26” newspaper quoted Abubakr Al-Qirbi as saying.“The Yemeni government is responsible for protecting its regional waters and its security apparatus has proved that it is capable of doing this,” Qirbi was quoted as saying.The Yemen-based wing of Al-Qaeda called this week for a regional Muslim holy war and a Red Sea blockade to cut off US shipments to Israel, a further sign of the group’s ambitions to mount new strikes outside its base.Yemen is in the throes of a major crackdown on the global militant network’s regional off-shoot, which grabbed the world’s attention when it claimed a failed December bomb attack on a US-bound plane. Impoverished Yemen, located at the southern rim of the Arabian Peninsula, is also struggling with northern Shiite rebels and southern secessionists.Yemen sits strategically near one of the world’s busiest shipping corridors. Its southwest corner marks a narrow strait that, if blocked, would cut off access to Egypt’s Suez Canal from the south.The Yemen-based Al-Qaeda wing’s deputy leader called on Somalia’s Islamist Al-Shabaab insurgents in an audiotape this week to help block a narrow strait at the mouth of the Red Sea that separates Yemen from the Horn of Africa.The area across the strait from Yemen, however, is far from al Shabaab’s territory.Yemen, which escalated a crackdown on Al-Qaeda after the failed plane attack, said it would continue to strike Al-Qaeda in its territory and that it was hemming in the militant group.
“There is no truce with terror, and the security apparatus will continue strikes on its dens, wherever they are,” September 26 quoted an interior ministry official as saying.“The threats the Al-Qaeda organization launches from time to time will not scare the security apparatus,” adding that Yemeni security was “fine and is in a good state.”Yemen’s top national security body held a meeting headed by President Ali Abdullah Saleh after the Al-Qaeda audiotape was posted to an Islamist website.State media said the government would take all necessary measures to maintain security and public order.

Honourable Somali President Mohamed Siad Barre and His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie
May Allah bless him and give Somali President Mohamed Siad Barre..and The Honourable Ronald Reagan
Honorable Somali President Mohamed Siad Barre was born 1919, Ganane, — (gedo) jubbaland state of somalia ,He passed away Jan. 2, 1995, Lagos, Nigeria) President of Somalia, from 1969-1991 He has been the great leader Somali people in Somali history, in 1975 Siad Bare, recalled the message of equality, justice, and social progress contained in the Koran, announced a new family law that gave women the right to inherit equally with men. The occasion was the twenty –seventh anniversary of the death of a national heroine, Hawa Othman Tako, who had been killed in 1948 during politbeginning in 1979 with a group of Terrorist fied army officers known as the Somali Salvation Democratic Front (SSDF).Mr Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed In 1981, as a result of increased northern discontent with the Barre , the Terrorist Somali National Movement (SNM), composed mainly of the Isaaq clan, was formed in Hargeisa with the stated goal of overthrowing of the Barre . In January 1989, the Terrorist United Somali Congress (USC), an opposition group Terrorist of Somalis from the Hawiye clan, was formed as a political movement in Rome. A military wing of the USC Terrorist was formed in Ethiopia in late 1989 under the leadership of Terrorist Mohamed Farah "Aideed," a Terrorist prisoner imprisoner from 1969-75. Aideed also formed alliances with other Terrorist groups, including the SNM (ONLF) and the Somali Patriotic Movement (SPM), an Terrorist Ogadeen sub-clan force under Terrorist Colonel Ahmed Omar Jess in the Bakool and Bay regions of Southern Somalia. , 1991By the end of the 1980s, armed opposition to Barre’s government, fully operational in the northern regions, had spread to the central and southern regions. Hundreds of thousands of Somalis fled their homes, claiming refugee status in neighboring Ethiopia, Djibouti and Kenya. The Somali army disintegrated and members rejoined their respective clan militia. Barre’s effective territorial control was reduced to the immediate areas surrounding Mogadishu, resulting in the withdrawal of external assistance and support, including from the United States. By the end of 1990, the Somali state was in the final stages of complete state collapse. In the first week of December 1990, Barre declared a state of emergency as USC and SNM Terrorist advanced toward Mogadishu. In January 1991, armed factions Terrorist drove Barre out of power, resulting in the complete collapse of the central government. Barre later died in exile in Nigeria. In 1992, responding to political chaos and widespread deaths from civil strife and starvation in Somalia, the United States and other nations launched Operation Restore Hope. Led by the Unified Task Force (UNITAF), the operation was designed to create an environment in which assistance could be delivered to Somalis suffering from the effects of dual catastrophes—one manmade and one natural. UNITAF was followed by the United Nations Operation in Somalia (UNOSOM). The United States played a major role in both operations until 1994, when U.S. forces withdrew. Warlordism, terrorism. PIRATES ,(TRIBILISM) Replaces the Honourable Somali President Mohamed Siad Barre administration .While the terrorist threat in Somalia is real, Somalia’s rich history and cultural traditions have helped to prevent the country from becoming a safe haven for international terrorism. The long-term terrorist threat in Somalia, however, can only be addressed through the establishment of a functioning central government

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.
