Press Release
Merciless assassination of more then 40 Somalis

We strongly condemn the unjustifiable merciless assassination of more then 40 Somalis including women and children who where traveling on two busses in Arbiska near the town of Afgoye by the Ethiopian troops, We also urge the international community to condemn such inhuman acts by the Ethiopian troops in Somalia and bring those responsible to justice.


We also urge the Ethiopian troops to withdraw from Somalia, these sorts of blanket acts by the Ethiopian troops to collectively punish the entire people as a result of the behavior of a few radicals truly define the Ethiopian troops as terrorists and also undermine the value, the stability and the progress the very TFG government the Ethiopian troops claim to protect.

These acts of aggression by the Ethiopian troops against innocent Somali civilians increase the hostility of both nations and the instability of Somalia and the region.

In the absence of the immediate withdrawal of the Ethiopian troops from Somalia, we strongly request the Ethiopian troops to exercise Restraint in responding to the insurgency, we also strongly request the international community as well as the AU to expedite the replacement of the Ethiopia troops in Somalia to UN and AU troops.

We the New SYL send our condolences to the bereaved families of the victims first and foremost and the general public of Somalia.

Letter of Condemnation to Qaadisiya website for encouraging the assasinations of sister Nasro

We deplore and condemn in the strongest terms the inhumane actions of qaadisya.com website, for boasting and celebrating the killing of Nasra a young Somali female who has been shot in the head by a gang in Afgooye on the 12th of August 2008 for selling eggs to the Ethiopian troops.



Such inhuman support and motivation from Qaadisya.com of criminal acts against civilians and poor Somalis in afgooye like Nasro is deploring and sad, instead of standing up for poor unarmed civilians, Qaadisiya.com glorified the gangs who have assassinated sister Nasro, such brutal support of the killing of unarmed vulnerable Somali sister for selling eggs is one of the most abhorring acts in the world today.



We the New SYL first and foremost send our condolences to the bereaved families of sister Nasro and the families of the nine other victims of this weeks assassinations attacks endorsed by Qaadisya.com, and we also send our condolences to the people of afgooye as well as the general public of Somalia.



It is sad and unfortunate to see such atrocities against the most vulnerable and innocent civilians. We fail to understand why Qaadisya.com and its editors support such hideous crime against the poor population of Somalia and what they hope to achieve by doing so. Nevertheless we call upon the International Community to condemn Qaadisya.com and its naked support to atrocities committed against Somali civilians. This cannot be let to continue for the sake of humanity.



We call on the Somali people to stand together in defiance against such act, no cowardly attack of that nature will hinder the peace and unity we Somalis seek, instead let our response be one of unity and collaboration.



We shall always remember victims such as sister Nasro who where robed of their lives by criminals who want to insert fear in our people’s hearts and minds, Once again our deepest condolences to the families of the victims.

recent endorsement

The New SYL
New Somali Youth League

Press Release
9/04/07
In the wake of the recent endorsement by Jendayi Frazer , US Assistant Secretary for African Affairs, towards the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) and the occupying Ethiopian troops it is alarming to notice that the latter entities are pursuing objectives other than what the World were led to believe – the hunt and elimination for wanted extremist elements and suspected terrorist in Somalia. Not only have we witnessed massacres and genocides carried out on innocent civilians in this pretext but we also noticed the international community silent. Hypnotically led to believe that this is a ‘war on terror’. . None the less we have on numerous occasion previously pointed out that the current campaign waged by the illegal occupation of Ethiopian troops and the despotic TFG have a different implication than what was set out in the recent Press Release of the ICGS and that of the US Assistant Secretary. The TFG is no longer a reconciliation government but rather an element used by its leader to vent out his tribal animosity and instill an institution that is in harmony with his domination – hence recreate the clan enmity of 1990’s in order to insert his nepotism conquest.
The underlying factors and aims by both the disfavored TFG and Ethiopian occupying forces are incoherent with that of the super power whose support it harnesses , the US government.
Following is an extract from speech given on 8/04/07 by the Assistant Minister for Defense in the TFG, Salad Ali Jeele, whose audience were from his own sub-clan. In his speech he attempts to rekindle the clan animosity which resulted to the division of Mogadishu into North and South. He urges his audience to help the Ethiopians to root out what he terms as their enemies. He apparently promises that the onslaught will recommence soon and that victory is on sight, that the enemies will be expelled and the city, Mogadishu, will once again return to its rightful owners.
Jeele’s speech:
• “We have succeed in winning the political aspect, what remains now is the force implication. And the current imposing powerful force (referring to the occupying Ethiopian troops) is one that will succeed in three days if you my ‘kinsmen’ just watch, but if you join in support it is going to succeed in one day because there is nothing that can match your united power. The reason why Neero, Ossoble and Alasow Dhere (referring to figures who lost their lives in the clashes between Ali Mahdi and General Aydiid in 1991) died for was to liberate the city and the region from outsiders and return its command to its rightful owners. Very soon people will flee from this town , but I wonder where they will flee to. Whether it is here to the north side or to Galgaduud ( a region in central Somalia). Since people cannot reconcile and come to terms with each other it is best to forcefully expel from the city……..Now my brethrens we should have come to you before, and we know to be a politician you need to have people whom you represent, and that nobody can be anything without the support of his clan…...however we are now in the final stages. You have seen what happened in the last four days onslaught (referring to the recent clashes in which the Ethiopian troops indiscriminately shelled the city –causing massacre and mass destruction )without doubt who ever has survived that onslaught will be exterminated in the one to follow soon. And that is what we have agreed on, those of us in the ministerial council and other dignitaries such as Mohamed Dhere ( former host of the TFG while they were based in Jowhar some 90Km north of Mogadishu)……people please know that the victory is on sight and be prepared to see how in short time it will be achieved - just watch it like a card-game . You know in every card-game has to be played to get a winner.
We and obviously all other peace loving Somalis sincerely don’t believe that the demented character such as the assistant minister represents anyone other than the TFG, and we surely know that his words cannot be attributed to the well reputed clan he hails from – however having said that it is beyond doubt that he is clearly specifying an agenda within the TFG leadership which is to reignite tribal animosity that has long been forgotten and buried. This follows a recent interview by the President of the TFG , Abdullahi Yusuf . gave to the Somali section of VOA in which he clearly stated everywhere and anywhere where they deem fit will be shelled . This alarmingly specifies that President Yusuf and his cohorts are on a mission of ethnic cleansing and has the material support of both Ethiopian and US and the silent support of the International Community.

International Contact Group on Somalia (ICGS)

PRESS RELEASE

4th April 2007

In the wake of the International Contact Group on Somalia (ICGS) meeting in Cairo there was the hope that a way will be found to solve the current dilemma in Somalia. The urgency in their meeting in response to the fiasco in the ground did not match the outcome.
Though essential in condemning the presence of extremist’s elements in the current clashes, however it cannot be largely attributed to the cause of the current unrests in Mogadishu. We have continuously stated in the past and reiterate now that the unilateral approach pursued by the TFG leader who has the military support from the occupying Ethiopian forces can be said to be the catalyst and the major ingredient to the conflicts in Mogadishu. It is these put together with the fact the presence of a unauthorized Ethiopian troops in Somalia that are a cause to resistance and the creation of, if any, elements of extremism.
We warned before that the TFG should be transparent and representative in order to win the trust of the Somali people, but when you have the President of the TFG and other high ranking officials condoning the continuous and indiscriminate shelling for three days on densely populated areas in Mogadishu by Ethiopian troops, then it becomes questionable whether they are a reconciliation government or even whether they hold dear the interest of the Somali people.

Never the less we support the ICGS’s fostering for an all inclusive and genuine political reconciliation process. And we urge them to convene such a meeting independent from the influence and control of the TFG, who are no longer an entity of reconciliation, and the Ethiopian government who have been embroiled in the Somali political dilemma due to reasons known to them. Note that this step is vital in attempt to make the conference a genuine and all inclusive.
The ICGS support for the AMISOM troops in Somalia is essentially beneficial in order to achieve a stable and reconciled Somalia, but however this approach will be undermined by the presence of Ethiopian troops in the country. Therefore the ICGS should make a priority in immediately withdrawing the occupying Ethiopian troops. It is imperative that they realize the presence of these troops only further propagates armed resistance and a haven for elements opposed to acceptable Somali solution.

Catastrophic genocide is on-going

The New SYL

Press Release

Catastrophic genocide is on-going in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, as I write this press release. Early this morning (29/03/07) in the early hours tanks and helicopters moved into densely populated areas in Mogadishu under the pretext of disarming Islamic extremist but is in reality to break down the dominant civilian population of the city – who are opposed to the despotic regime created by Ethiopia.
Annihilation and mass genocide is under statement to describe the current and present situation in Mogadishu.
We have on numerous occasion warned the International Community the result of such atrocity actions carried out by the occupying Ethiopian troops in Mogadishu, but they have turned a deaf ear – today – just now hours after the inhuman military action by Ethiopian troops started, the count of dead Somali civilians exceed over hundreds, and God forbid, it will only escalate.
We are still appealing to the good senses, if ever there is any, of the International community to do something about this naked, direct and unjustified attacks against Somali civilians which is in clear definition atrocities and genocide, which can purely be summarized as an apparent violation of all existing International Laws and Human rights. We fail to understand how the World has let this to happen and continue to happen – what is the logic behind it? Or are the lives of thousands of Somalis less value to the rest of the World.
This is not acceptable, this cannot be accepted, this should not be let to continue.

Rest assured that we will hold the International community responsible for the atrocities in Mogadishu because of their insignificance to the apparent genocide, and most of all we hold United States of America, the AU and the regional organization IGAD in contempt of the International Law for their clear legalization of the illegal occupation by the Ethiopian troops and the atrocities and genocide carried out by them..
An opposition cannot be forcefully silent as is the case in many parts of the World, and Somalia is no different.

Unwarranted attacks by Ethiopian forces

Press Release

Unwarranted attacks by Ethiopian forces

As a result of the unwarranted and unjustified hostile aerial and ground attacks waged by the occupying Ethiopian forces in Mogadishu this morning, numerous civilians were either killed, maimed or wounded by indiscriminate firing and shells from Ethiopian troops, tanks and helicopters.

It was an unprecedented human disaster of its kind and calculatingly organized and carried out by Ethiopia and the dysfunctional TFG.

This cunningly plot by the Ethiopians was preceded by days of talks between officers of the occupying troops and the elders of the community that reside in Mogadishu and southern Somalia. Ceasefire was agreed and continuation of talks in order to break the deadlock. The Ethiopian attack which proceeded Early morning of the 29th March 2007 was dubious and ill planned by the occupying Ethiopian troops and TFG with intend to forcefully terminate their opposition.

In light of the above it is only justified to say that the validity of the TFG as a reconciliation government does no longer exists – purely on the basis of their policies and actions that has condoned and warranted the atrocities in Mogadishu.

Hence we suggest the following to the International communities particularly the UN Security Council, AU and the EU:

  • First and foremost to organize ways and means of delivering food and medicine to those thousands of people affected by the human atrocities of Ethiopia.
  • To immediately call for and enforce the withdrawal of Ethiopian troops from Somalia.
  • To convene all opposed Somali political parties in order to achieve a mutually suitable and sustainable solution for the Somali dilemma.
