Somali Islamists lose last stronghold

! This post hasn't been updated in over a year. A lot can change in a year including my opinion and the amount of naughty words I use. There's a good chance that there's something in what's written below that someone will find objectionable. That's fine, if I tried to please everybody all of the time then I'd be a Lib Dem (remember them?) and I'm certainly not one of those. The point is, I'm not the kind of person to try and alter history in case I said something in the past that someone can use against me in the future but just remember that the person I was then isn't the person I am now nor the person I'll be in a year's time.

The Islamists trying to overthrow the vaguely legitimate Somali government have lost their last stronghold thanks to Ethiopian troops.

The Somali government have offered talks with the Islamists but they refuse to talk until the Ethiopians have left the country.

It’s early days yet – the Somali government is weak and the African Union are reluctant to help out but for the time being at least, another country has escaped Islamification.
