Press Release
The on going carnage in Mogadishu is despicable and entirely unacceptable and inhumane. The International community should with immediate effect interfere to bring halt to this, what seems like a legalised genocide.
Somalia and its people don't deserve this; they certainly don't merit the fate that has been brought onto them by the occupying Ethiopian troops and the unpopular and regionally imposed TFG government.
The notion that all this is been done at the expense of eliminating extremist elements and in seek wanted Internationalist terrorist is stale and exceeding its sell by date. The Somali people and in particular those in Mogadishu can no longer bear the burden of a ill conceived and devised plan. Though however if such elements existed the current operation condoned by US and carried out by the Ethiopian troops and their puppets the TFG is unjustifiable. Due to the density of human destruction and the targets of the ill-conceived mission questions should be asked whether the goal of the endorsers of the invasion and that of the fulfillers are parallel and in one. It is alarmingly unhealthy to camouflage the decimation of a particular clan and destruct their habitat as purpose of war against terror.
We have a city shelled from left to right and centre from heavy artillery fire by occupying Ethiopian forces. The victims ; innocent civilians mostly women and children, half of the city buildings brought to the ground , the little infrastructure that existed destroyed, independent media curtailed in attempt to put a lid on actual reporting of the ongoing genocide , people fleeing from this massacres denied shelter and international relief. The volume of this carnage exceeds beyond comprehension that even International Humanitarian are warning of an unpredictable circumstances emerging from the ongoing conflict in Somalia.
This is no longer and never was to empower an internationally recognised Transitional Government. This is de facto an invasion by a long standing enemy country, Ethiopia, and their will to empower a weak and puppet government, TFG that has granted it the reasons to invade Somalia.
The Internationally Community should have heeded the cries and appeals of the Somalia people and it did not, now we wonder what more specifications and warnings does it warrant to get their attention other than the inhumane chaos in Mogadishu currently. How many people should die in Mogadishu before they see this matter as dangerous and unacceptable. It has been reported before that Ethiopian troops are liable to be charged for crimes against humanity in Mogadishu, it's a wonder what will be the charges of the International Authority the remained silent in the face of this genocide.
Finally we appeal, still, the UN, AU, IOC and others to immediately interfere and engage in steps to bring an end to this unfortunate massacre. Likewise we appeal to use your influence to press for the unconditional release of independent journalist held captive by the TFG and their backers occupying Ethiopian troops, the crew of Universal TV led by their director anchorman Mr Abdulqadir Mahamed Ashir (Nadara) Mr.Nadara.
Sincerely, Mr. Awale Ali Kullane
