Somalia: 4 jihad registration centers opened in Hiran region

Somali Jihad against Ethiopia update, plus an update to this story from Garowe Online:

BELETWEIN, Somalia Oct 15 (Garowe Online) - At least 4 centers for jihad registration have been opened in Beletwein, the capital of central Somalia's Hiran region, a day after the regional Islamist chief declared jihad on Ethiopian troops inside Somalia.

Abdurahman Farole, an Islamist official in charge of jihad offices, told local media Sunday that jihad registration has officially started in Beletwein, even though he declined to give details of the exact number of people who signed up.

No doubt just a tiny minority of extremists.

Yesterday, a large anti-Ethiopia rally was held in Beletwein, attracting hundreds of locals and featuring speeches by the region’s Islamist leaders.

Sheikh Farah Moallim Mohamud, chairman of Hiran region’s Islamic court, encouraged supporters at Saturday’s rally to prepare for jihad against the invading Ethiopian army.

Time for some of that high tech weaponry to target these centers and zap them.

Well, those Jihazis are going to have to learn to shoot straight. I hear those Ethiopians are skinny little buggers...

Seriously, though, do you really think Ethiopia is going to invade Somalia??? This is probably just more sabre rattling from the Somalian Jihazis in an attempt to attack the Ethiopians.

I have a couple of friends that fought the Ethiopians in the Eritrean War, and they say that Ethiopia isn't a threat to anyone right now...

No doubt the war on Ethiopia will begin with a Somali report claiming that Ethiopia invaded sacred Somali soil. It'll be just like 1939 when Goebbels said the Polish aggressors started WW2 by invading peaceful Germany, giving the Nazis no choice but to counterattack.

With the religious fervor behind the Jihad that first escalated after the 6 day war the growth will continue, and unless something is done soon, radical Islam will destroy Israel, and fly their flags at the White House. They use our democracy against us, crossing our borders, and silencing moderate Muslims.

Let's see, how do you declare 'inner struggle' against someone else? Never fear, the U.N. will spring into action like they always do.

Howcome no one ever mentions Somaliland?
This breakaway portion of Somali is about
as stable a region as it gets in that part
of the world, but it still can't get
recognized as a indepentent nation.

even though he declined to give details of the exact number of people who signed up

I'm willing to wager it was more than the total number of Muslims who have marched to protest the "hijacking" of their religion by the "few" violent "extremists".

Somalia is a country with hardly any maintained roads, schools, or hospitals. Most International aid charities had to pull out because it was just too dangerous to operate there.

But now they have several Jihad registration centers up and running. Glad to know they've got their priorities straight.
