Ethiopian Force Enters Somalia

Troops Set Up in City of Baidoa to Protect Interim Government

MOGADISHU, Somalia, July 20 -- Hundreds of Ethiopian troops in armored vehicles rolled into Somalia on Thursday to protect their allies in this country's virtually powerless government from Islamic militiamen who control the capital.

The move could give the interim Somali government its only chance of curbing the Islamic militia's increasing power. But Ethiopia's incursion could also be just the provocation the militia needs to build public support for a guerrilla war.

"We will declare jihad if the Ethiopian government refuses to withdraw their troops from Somalia," said Sharif Ahmed, a top Islamic official.

The neighboring countries are traditional enemies, although Somali President Abdullahi Yusuf has asked Ethiopia for its support. Thousands of Somalis have taken to the streets in recent weeks to denounce accounts of Ethiopian troop movement along the border.

Somalia has been without an effective central government since warlords toppled dictator Mohamed Siad Barre in 1991 and then turned on one another, carving much of the country into armed camps ruled by violence and clan law.

The government, which includes warlords linked to the violence of the past, was established with the support of the United Nations to help Somalia emerge from anarchy. But the body wields no real power, has no military and operates only in Baidoa, about 100 miles east of the Ethiopian border.

The Islamic militia stepped into the power vacuum in recent months, seizing the capital of Mogadishu and most of southern Somalia. On Wednesday, the militia reached within 20 miles of Baidoa, prompting the government to go on high alert.

The militia began pulling back Thursday as more than 400 Ethiopian troops entered Baidoa. The soldiers smiled and waved to residents before setting up their camp, according to witnesses, who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals.

The Ethiopians, wearing their national military uniforms, also deployed at the airport outside Baidoa and set up a compound near the president's home in the city, witnesses said.

The United States has accused the Islamic militia of having links to al-Qaeda that include sheltering suspects in the deadly 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. In a recent Internet posting, al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden has urged Somalis to support the militia and warned countries not to send troops there.

Ethiopia sent troops into Somalia in 1993 and 1996 to quash Islamic fighters attempting to establish a religious government.

In the absence of his own force, Yusuf, a staunch secular leader who has condemned radical Islam, has apparently chosen to rely on Ethiopia for protection. But anti-Ethiopia sentiment still runs high in much of the country, and Yusuf's reliance on Ethiopia might hurt his legitimacy.

Lo que se ve no se juzga

Tenía ya unos días conteniendome de publicar esto, más que nada porque aunque no lo conozco, si respeto al señor Enrique Dans y no me gustaría que se malinterpretara, pero, en fin.

En este su humilde Blog ya hemos hablando de la hetaira bloggeril que nos llego de Ecuador (nada contra ustedes hermanos, hay muchos bloggers ecuatorianos que me caen muy bien como Andrea Guerra que casualmente esta muy relacionada con Arcos)


Bueno, además de hablar como asmatico,homosexual, ufano y pagado de si mismo, el enajenado de las Macs de Eduardo Arcos sostiene en su blog una politica en la que cualquier comentario que no le agrada es calificado de "Troll" y lo borra.

Hay muchas victimas de la escasez de información que hasta tiene de pagina de inicio ese "ALt+Copy+paste", pero en fin.

En el blog de Enrique Dans (que me encanta, se nota porque esta aquí en los links) lo han puesto de una manera muy clara

"Eduardo Arcos es una piruja que se vende por dos telefonos (medio malones por cierto) que le mando una empresa coreana"

New England's summer gay capital, is facing a rise in harassment and discrimination

By Jason Szep

PROVINCETOWN, Massachusetts (Reuters) - Provincetown, New England's summer gay capital, is facing a rise in harassment and discrimination. But this time it's straight people who say they are being ridiculed as "breeders" and "baby makers."

Less than a decade after a successful campaign to end violent paroxysms of "gay bashing" in the beach town at the tip of Cape Cod in Massachusetts, police and town officials report a resurgence in tension between gays and straight people.

Police Chief Ted Meyer said straight people complained of being called "breeders" over the July Fourth holiday weekend, and that in one serious incident a man was charged with assaulting a woman who signed a petition to ban same-sex marriage in Massachusetts, the only state where it is legal.

Equally troubling, he said, Jamaican workers in Provincetown say they have been the target of racial slurs.

"It's been a series of issues," Meyer said.

The flare-ups in a town that overflows in summer with a colorful mix of gay couples often openly holding hands or kissing, cross-dressers and flocks of curious tourists coincide with a planned vote this year in the state Legislature on an amendment to ban gay marriage -- a measure that has rallied activists on both sides of the issue.

Gay-marriage advocates have set up a Web site -- www.knowthyneighbor.org -- that publishes the names of people who have signed the petition, including at least two locals in Provincetown who say they have been singled out and verbally abused by gays since their names appeared on the Web site.

Town officials said the town is struggling to strike a balance between protecting the right to freedom of expression for petition signers, and ensuring its gay majority contain their anger at what many see as an assault on their hard-won right to marriage.

Police would not classify the slurs and name-calling as "hate crimes." But a town meeting was called last Friday to discuss whether social attitudes were changing in the gay resort village with a population of 3,431 that swells to 60,000 in summer and includes a large number of Jamaicans.

"We have business that we haven't talked about as a family," Town Manager Keith Bergman said. "The impact of the same sex marriage petition is high on that list."

Some gays expressed shock at being accused of discrimination after years of suffering harassmen
"There are still a lot of straight people who treat gays badly," said Steve Bowersock, 35, an artist who owns the Bowersock Gallery on the town's main Commercial Street.

Bowersock, who was once married to a woman, said he moved to Provincetown in 2004 with his partner because it gives gays a political voice. He admits he sometimes discriminates against straight people he finds offensive

"If there's a straight couple and I hear them in the background going 'oh fags', I'm like 'hello, where the hell do you think you are?' So in turn I get mad," he said.

"If I see someone nervous like a big butch guy, and you can just tell he's a redneck, I'll grab my partner and I'll kiss him. It's not being mean, but 'hello you're in our town'."

The Rev. Henry J. Dahl, pastor at St. Peter's Church, said several of his parishioners had complained to him of being singled out and verbally abused after signing the petition.

"I don't think it's totally unexpected that there would be some reaction to people who signed the petition," he said. "Let's just hope we can have civil discourse."

Joe Solmonese, president of gay rights group Human Rights Campaign, said the petition signers invited trouble by taking a position that says "loud and clear that you believe that gays and lesbians should be treated as second class citizens."
