Somalia's Troublemakers are Expelled

Somalia's News

Kenya has closed its borders with Somalia to halt defeated Union of Islamic Courts (UIC)'s militias driven from Kismayo in the south of country. Ethiopian aircraft and artillery are backing Somalia's interim government to restore order by destroying the so called Islamic militias. Helicopters and hundreds of army men and police have deployed in the border town of Luboi, while hundreds of Somali refugees are stranded at the border in bad conditions.

The so called UIC says their retreat from advancing Ethiopian and Somali forces is tactical and warns of an insurgency. Meanwhile, Somalis interim President Abdullahi Yusuf met Kenyan leader Mwai Kibaki in Mombasa to discuss the security issue. Kenya issued an official statement after the meeting quoted Kibaki as he urged all parties in Somalia to embrace dialogue.

News says Ethiopian helicopters pursuing Somali UIC's militias attempting to escape into Kenya bombed a Kenyan border post by mistake, but no casualties or damages are registered at Har Har the border post.

Somalia's Prime Minister Ali Mohamed Ghedi says that heavily-armed Ethiopian soldiers would be needed for months to help government restore peace and order.

Reports say Kenyan police have detained a man holding a Canadian passport who is suspected of having ties with the UIC. The suspect has been held while he and other seven persons carrying Eritrean passports were caught trying to cross into Kenya last Monday.

Eritrea has been accused of sending arms and fighters to the UIC, a claim it denies. The Canadian High Commission in Nairobi the capital city of Kenya said it was attempting to get information about the Canadian national but it has no details yet.

Humanitarian agencies have warned that an increasing number of children are being conscripted into Somalia's fighting factions, exposing them to attacks and separating them from their families. The Somalia's Transitional Federal Government (TFG) has denied recruiting underage soldiers and accused the UIC of recruiting children.

Various NGOs and United Nations agencies claim, the use of child soldiers in Somalia has increased since the fighting between the UIC and TFG escalated in December last year.
