Somchat.com Somali Blogs and News to Bring you Somali News in English and Somali Medium

New Announcement:

As Muslims around the world begin to observe the holly month of Ramadan, Somali Blogs and News decided to add more resources for our visitors to enjoy. As of today, the 2nd day September 2008, we will be posting Somali News in Somali Language as well as English language. We think this is important to our visitors and to encourage interest for our site's promotion.

It is not a secret that there is a huge number of Somali news web sites already publishing Somali news in their mother tongue. We think this isolates the world body that needs to hear about the current situation is Somalia, but doesn't speak the Somali language. Those who do not speak Somali will be served with news in English while our Somali audience gets to enjoy the latest news in Somali language.

As you may have noticed, we also discuss technology and have personal blogs on our web site from time to time. The technology articles are usually a 'how to' lessons. We will extend these articles to include technology news as well. Furthermore, both the blogs and tech articles will be published both in English and Somali languages.

For now, we wish you Ramadan Mubarak!

Somali blogs and news will keep you posted on any additional reports coming of out of Mogadishu about this story.

Ethiopian Troops Leave Mogadishu

Ethiopian troops in Tanker military vehicles depart their Mogadishu's residential base today. At least 18 military vehicles carrying Ethiopian troops were seen leaving Mogadishu taking the road from Mogadishu to Baidoa.



It is not clear their destination, or how many of them still remain in Mogadishu as the number of Ethiopian troops left Mogadishu is unknown. However, sources indicate two different scenarios for their departure from the Capital city of Somalia.

Some sources claim the Ethiopian army's departure of Mogadishu is a first step to Ethiopia's withdrawal from Somalia, a scenario hinted by Melez Zenawi earlier last week. Other sources contradict that the Tigres are simply moving their infantry to new bases for better security of their army. One should note there is still a large number of Ethiopian troops in Mogadishu.

It was not long ago that the Transitional Federal Government and the leaders of the liberation army agreed to sign a peace deal which dictates the Ethiopian troops to leave residential areas as whole. It is possible this may be why the Tigre army is vacating their bases in Mogadishu.
