Opposition fighters gaining ground in Somalia - 31 Aug 08

First they took Kismayo, a key port city, now they're making headway across southern Somalia.

Opposition armed groups, including al-Shabab fighters and remnants of the Islamic Courts Union, are seizing control of the small southern town of Dhobley, near the Kenyan border.

There's been a major comeback by Islamic groups in recent months and few in Somalia are complaining.

Somalia is a Muslim country as such it should be ruled according to Shariah. Al-Shabab and their like have brought peace to our troubled land. International community should butt out of our business, dont think its Ethiopia acting on its own here, its only in Somalia because of American encouragement. Inshallah peace and stability will return to our homeland.

@ridwana81

Al shabab are the Wahabis, and they deserved to be killed. Prophet said in sahih marfu Hadith in Bukhari, that a near the end of time a young foolish people will apear who will use best of the speeches i.e. Quran and Hadith, yet they will leave Islam as an arrow leaves the bow, Alshabab means the young ones or the youth ... they are fullfilmnt of the prophecy, they are kharijis and they should be killed by Muslims and anyone who supports them should also be killed.
