BBC NEWS | Africa | Somali Islamist orders 'holy war'


"I am calling on the Somali people to wage a holy war against Ethiopians in Somalia," said Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys of the Union of Islamic Courts.


Ethiopia denies that its forces are in the government's base of Baidoa, but a BBC reporter has seen them patrolling.


It never rains but it pours war in buckets. Given that the area in question is right off the Red Sea shipping lane it's not exactly another pointless though bloody African conflict.
