pull-out leaves government on brink - Ethiopian
withdrawal marks end of disastrous intervention
that sparked new violence and suffering
SOMALIAS FRAGILE government appears to be on the
brink of collapse. Islamist insurgents now
controls large parts of southern and central
Somalia - and are continuing to launch attacks inside the capital, Mogadishu.
Ethiopia, which launched a US-backed military
intervention in Somalia in December 2006 in an
effort to drive out an Islamist authority in
Mogadishu, is now pulling out its troops.
A shipment of Ethiopian weapons, including tanks,
left Mogadishu port last month as part of the
withdrawal. Bringing the equipment back to
Ethiopia by land would have been impossible -
analysts believe Ethiopian troops and their
Somali government allies control just three small
areas in Mogadishu and a few streets in Baidoa,
the seat of parliament. There are now estimated
to be just 2500 Ethiopian soldiers left inside
Somalia, down from 15,000-18,000 at the height of the war.
Ethiopian troops still in Baidoa are under
