More good news: Mogadishu blasts kill 12 Woyannes

Posted on by Elias Kifle

(Press TV) — Heavy explosions strike Ethiopian Woyanne soldiers in southern Mogadishu, leaving at least a dozen people killed and some 24 others injured.

The blasts targeted Ethiopian Woyanne military convoys as they were heading for Radar district of Deynile in the south of the Somali capital, Press TV correspondent reported.

Eye witnesses said the incident left more than 12 foreign soldiers killed and some 24 wounded, while an Islamic Court Union spokesman put the Ethiopian Woyanne death toll at 22, which could not be independently confirmed.

Elsewhere, armed Somali groups clashed in Afgooye, some 30 km from Mogadishu, as both sides tried to take control of a building.

The fighting took the lives of four people while two more suffered serious injuries.

Heavy clashes between insurgents and Somali government soldiers continue in Harayale district, but no reliable report on the casualties has been as yet released.

  2. Elias sometimes you go little too far. This people are our people weather they are woyanee or others the bottome line is they are Ethiopians. Disagree with the government is something but wishing our brothers and sisters death is other thing. Please stop writing nonsense article.

    Thank You

  3. Woyanne army of gangs are being hunted now in Mogdishu and elsewhere in Somalia.Worse yet,their escape routes are no longer easy.Just take a look at the distance between Makale and Mogdishu and see if they can find any friend in between.It`s a high time for the people of the horn to take a stand and defeat the TPLF and end the nightmare.

  4. not good news.

    For me this is bad news. the people who are sacrificing themselves for wrong mission are our Ethiopian brothers.

  5. Is it good news? It is absolutely incorrect if your answer is yes. No matter who he/she is when a person is killed by a bomb blast it is not a good news. We are Ethiopians, we all have faith. Those who killed in Somalia are young Citzens who joined the army because they are jobless and wanted to get something to eat. Please, dont consider all the Ethiopian army as weyanne. That is wrong, no question! The weyannes are not in Mogadishu, but they are in addis Ababa, guarding the tyrant Meles Zenawi.

  6. I am sorry for those poor soldiers who lost thier lifes.They are our brothers and sisters who were forced to fight by the cruel regiem(Meles) and they have to do their duties,if not they will be killed.So let us be fair guys.This is not a good news.
    If you have the data,could you tell us the total number of soldiers who has lost their lifes at Somalia?
    Thak you.

  11. Even if many of your site visitor is anti Ethiopian govt. policy, by any measure this will be a “good news.” for us. If you like or not we are Ethiopian. We love the Ethiopian solders, we Ethiopian don’t like the govt. who sent them to some body’s land. meles and his adminstration will be responsible one day for their act but you have to stop saying woyane solder instead of Ethiopian solders. Those brave who sacrifice their life is an Ethiopian.

    God bless Ethiopia. Let those brave Ethiopian soul rest in pease.

  13. where is that kotetam demelash kele? he is still backing the self appointed king hailu shawul? demelash who borned in gojjam , grew in arusi , his brother is being killed by weyanes in arusi , now he is still creating havo for the struggle to expose the rest of his families in arusi.

  15. It just makes me wonder: Mengistu and his gangs had made a safe exit to Zumbabwe and other parts of Africa but can you imagine when the day of peace and prosperity comes to the horn of Africa as to which way Meles and his gangs going to exit or they rather keep being slaves and killers. In the name of “terrorist” they became terrorist themselves and soon America’s smart bombs will hunt them from wherever rat hole they hide! patience the people of the horn and particularly the Ethiopians!

  16. you are stupid,sorry. are you ethiopia?I do not blieve you.
    I am sure,you are Ertria. you know,Ethiopia solgers are our Bruther and ouer father.
    you are banda or you are shabia.
    way you wrote,good knews becuse ethiopia solgers were death.you are craze.

  17. This can not be a good news by any measure. Are you gone nuts?
    Think of how many poor, innocent Ethiopians join the army to win bread. Everybody in the military is not woyane. Let us stop this blind cursing. Those poor died are not necessarily enemies.

    The HEADER is blown too much that it is awful. I don’t understand your motives and goal elias. This doesn’t help the opposition struggle by no means. No Opposition will be happy to the loss of life.

  18. What is wrong with you guys.This is a bad news.The people dying are Ethiopians.A problem can not be solved at the same level of thinking it is created is a great saying.We Ethiopians will solve our problems in a more civilized and appropriate ways.So here I want to remind the writer of this article, that Ethiopia is a land of deep descency and wisdom and not just a land of gun men and blind propogandists.So please this is not going to cook you any knid of cookie! Lets think postively and chage things.
    Bye bye

  21. Elililililililililililil! Enquan des yalen! For those of you woyanes who try to make us feel sorry about the soldiers FUCK YOU! A woyane soldier is not Ethiopian. They have denounced their nationality by becoming Woyane. Woyane is not Ethiopia. It is a group of international terrorists!

  22. Unwanted,uninvited and untrusted the woyanae robbers came into Ethiopia with nothing in their pockets but with a lot of guns and bullets to steal and murder Ethiopians.

    Meles Naziawi spent years in Somalia as a messenger in distructions to recruit and organize antiEthiopia elements.

    He walked in the streets of Somalia, mingled with locals and spoke their languges,went to market and bouhgt fish and rice,sat down with recruits and with a mouth-full of chat and promised a lot and plot destructions against Ethiopia.

    Two Woyanae soldiers were caught redhanded rapping girls were shot dead at the spot. The same day, 17 woyanae soldiers were killed in the streets of somalia where Meles Naziawi walked on to and fro to buy chat and sugar 22 years ago.

    Dead woyanae soldiers in the street of somalia. Thousnads of homeless childreen in the streets of Addis Ababa. So far, no single woyanae dead soldiers were returned to their loved ones.

    Dead and Homeless. Return to the sender. The ad. reads Go Home another slogan reads in the streets of Addis Ababa. Everyone says death to woyanaes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  23. Man the Somali freedom fighters are indeed doing a marvelous job hunting TPLF vanguards at every corner. I am happy to say the least for what is taking place, I feel for the non-Tigreans that really do not support the Ethno-Dictatorial-Minority-Military-Junta yet they are dying for non other than besic salary.

  25. Are you crazy ?
    the soldiers dying there are our brothers who are working in the current regime as a member of the Ethiopian defence forces…they are just servants, serving the country…and you are happy of their deathes..very surprising..
    PLEASE ELIAS THINK THNK THINK BEFORE YOU WRITE SUCH STUPID COMMENTS.you are celeberating by the death of our innocent brothers who are ordered to enter somalia by the current fasict regime..they are soldiers must do anything ordered.

  26. I can’t believe you the so called “journalist”, Ellias. What kind of title you gave for this news. It is realy sad. The soldiers are ours or Ethiopian’s. Please, Comensense is much more sensible than politics. If you live in USA or the Uk, go and ask the people about the war in Iraque or Afganistan, most of them are aginst the war or the gov’t but they always support their soldiers in any ways up to the end. Shame on you realy.

  28. Elias, how come u can say good news, betam tasaznaleh, this people are our people eko. this people went there because of melese wrong policy. meles did not go there. he just send our poor people for killing. please respect our people. i know u are supporters od shabia, but u are also half ethiopian.

  29. I don’t like the fact woyanes are committing human rights abuses in somalia. I hope they get defeated and kicked out of somalia ASAP. However, i don’t celebrate everytime Ethiopian soldier is killed. Therefore, while it is legit to denounce woyanes actions in somalia, it is distasteful to yahooooooooooo everytime some young ethiopian is killed in somalia. Please mind your titles when bringing the news.

  30. u call it a good news, u must be out of ur mind. they are ethiopian solder not a woyanne, they serving their country like american solders in iraq, u could say i hat ethiopia policy in somalia but to say a good news for innocent solders died in line of duety. i do’t think u fit as a politian. god bless all ethiopian solder who defend their country. but go to hell to these who wish death for the army

  31. today may be your happiest day because about 12 ethiopian soldiers has died but for real ethiopians regarless of there political views it will be a sad day ,are you really an ethiopia guy i doubt it

  32. Elais Kfile you need to check in to Psychatirc hospital immediately. Even if they are woyane.. we talking about human life and our brothers and sisters. You are just a low life scum bug. Good day

  33. Dear Ethiopians:
    The way the army formed and the cause its members stand for made them waynes. The invasion of other country made their death justifiable. The Fascist army that came to Ethiopia or the Nazi army that killed Jews, 20 million Russians etc were made of dear sons and daughters of Italy and Germany. We still call then Fascists or Nazis. The soldiers in Somalia are Ethiopians by blood but they are wayanes, aggressors, oppressors or fascists by what they do and stand for. We always wish more than any thing else if they stand against their leaders or the weyane leadership comes to its none existent senses and withdraw but in their presence in Somalia we wish their defeat and that is why we may call it good news.

  34. AK?
    YOU SAID FAITH ,WHAT A FUKEN FAITH ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
    PUT YOUR SELF IN THE PEOPLE’S, WHOS BROTHERS AND SISTERS ARE MURDERED BY THIS ANIMAL SOLDIRES,SHOES-DO YOU STILL HAVE SUCH SYMPATHY FOR THESE BARBARIC ANIMALS? THINK MORE TIMES!.I SOME TIMES SIT AND THINK ABOUT THE GIRL WHOS MOTHER IS MURDERED IN FRONT OF HER ,FORGOT HER NAME OR HAVE TO GOOGLE IT,AND MONEY OTHERS UNREPORTED.

  36. Am longing to see zenawi end up like LENIN being embalmed & displayed in a shop window in ADDIS , with a poster on the window stating “here lies the biggest demagogue & war criminal that ethiopia has ever spawned”. To the tplf fans WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND, LET YOU reap what you were sawing…….

  37. these are the same soldiers that killed us as a result of the May 2005 election. Death is natural, they cannot miss it; it is only a matter of time. They deserve more than that. They (including their weyane supporters) should learn that there is a tit for tat. They killed innocent Ethiopians in Addis Ababa and other places of Ethiopia, and now they are paying it in Mogadisho. That is the price of tyranny.

  38. Whoever national or ethnic group(Amhara, Tigrian or Oromo) sent to the wrong mission, they shouldnt be characterized as they were send at their own will. Therefore, they should not deserve to be treated as enemy. After all we are Ethiopia’children. In fact all Somalians (and Africans for that matter are Ethiopians as Ethiopians are Africans). So why some commentary writers treated those in the line of duty (whether that mission is wrong or Right)characterize them as “Weyane’s Soldiers” ?? By the way, did any one heard who say that an American Solder presently serve in Iraq is the soldier of the Republican Party or the American Republic? Surely no one will tell even from those who hate George Bush. For how long we hear not the truth????

  39. Com’on guys, don’t be silly. Elias is a true Ethiopian who tells things as they are and not as we all wish them to be. I don’t think any one of you people accusing him of many things “Love” the Weyane soldiers any more than he does. But, when the Weyane soldiers are being misused and abused to serve the “Golden goose”, they are a fare game by the Somali victims. It simply is “Double standard” ala Americana when the Somali people or Ogadeni people or Oromo people die, it is business as usual, but when the Weyane troops fell to the same fate as the poor Somalis, Ogadenis etc, all our “Human” charade activities sound their alarmist horn. We have to be fair and square and call for the immediate withdrawal of the Weyane occupying army whether be it in Somalia or anywhere else its inching feet leads it. If we continue to expect double standard, we are in effect prolonging the misery of all of us.

  40. This type of news might be great news for U, your freind esayas as well as his tentacles OLF,ONLF& enemy’s of ETHIOPIA.No matter we dislike MELES adminstraton,we are united comming to national interest.Any way U knows how to exadurate news for your propoganda.One life lost U make it ten.good for U.DAWN TO U, ESAYASAS,AS WELL AS ALL ENEMIES OF MATHER ETHIOPIA.

  43. You guys are not with your mind, I think this is the time for us to think broader than our own individual interest. you have to be able to indentify which one is good news and which one is not. The money Meles is spending in Somali, the blood of those inocent soldiers and the suffering of Ethiopians because of Meles act is not interesting news for us Ethiopians, hope you will be able to write something which we can read and comment on our general problems to try to seck a solution not a thing without worth. Our people and Country realy needs our good idea not such weightless thing.

  44. The soldiers belong exclusively to TPLF and they are mercenaries. Thus they don’t serve the interest of the Ethiopian people, rather that of their employer TPLF and Meles.The downfall the current totalitarian government of Meles begin with the total annihilation of the foot soldiers wherever they are and it s a ray of hope and freedom for Somalians, Ethiopians and all eastern Africans. We shed no tears for the fallen mercenaries, but we will rather ululate with joy and celebrate the death of barbaric occupiers of Somalia who are willing to kill even their own family members if paid the right amount of money.

    Elias your choice of a fitting title is perfect and many true Ethiopians support you unless they are the TPLF beneficiaries or mercenaries!

  45. Great news indeed! The people of Somalia is telling the Woyannie slaves to get out of their home land. The Somalis did not invade Tigrai, it is the Woyannie slaves who are the invaders, so everyday a Woyannie expires, we congratulate the Somalis.

  47. It is a pitty to hear such a terrific news.If the news is viewed from a moral point of view,then it would be unacceptable.If viewed from a realist point of view,the action of the insurgents can not be condemned,for it is an invading army sent by the war-mongerig regime to kill our neighbouring people.They are not serving the national intrest of the country, but the wish of a small group of persons.This makes their death meaningless!Let us pray to God so that the end-less problem may come to an end!

  48. I like the comment given by #2. This soldiers nothing to
    do with the fight against Somalia.They just following orders.This soldiers are not tplf or woyannes , there are
    Ethiopian brothers and sisters.

  49. Elias i have been giving you due respect, but this type of nonsense article makes me tense. I am not sure if you are kidding with the blood of your brothers. I am questioning your Ethiopianism too Hating the government is something else and the death of the innocent soldiers is another. The death of my brother or your brother should not be a good news for you. You have to also understand that the majority of the soldiers may be believe military as an employment. You are residing in the safest place; you do not need to look for a job. Shame on you
