allAfrica.com: Somalia: Mogadishu Under House-to-House Search Operations (Page 1 of 1)

allAfrica.com: Somalia: Mogadishu Under House-to-House Search Operations (Page 1 of 1): "Somali and Ethiopian troops have conducted massive house-to-house search operations in a large part of Mogadishu, the Somali capital, on Sunday. The troops halted all movements of passenger buses and ordinary people walking to Bakara market, the capital's largest open-air market where 80% of the population goes for work.
The joint search operations have been carried out in at least 10 neighborhoods in the capital. 'All roads to the neighborhoods where the troops are lingering have been blocked in early morning. I was going to Bakara this morning and I have returned after the troops refused anybody to enter Bakara,' said Ahmed Hashi, a resident of KPP neighborhood."

Broken Spring?       : Information Clearing House

Broken Spring?       : Information Clearing House This is a sequel to my June 2011 article, ‘After the spring’, on the upheavals in the Arab world. It is an article that has been painful to write, because it brings bad tidings and offers a pessimistic analysis of the upheavals, at least in the short term, in a number of Arab countries. The outcomes and potential outcomes of these uprisings have also acquired new, very significant dimensions. These include a complex entanglement with the accelerated preparations for a possible attack on Iran, and a poisonous, sectarian aspect that could have the consequence of ripping Syria and the Middle East apart.
