On December 24, 2006 Ethiopia has for the first time admitted its ground troops were fighting in Somalia, its fighter jets were destroying Somalia's infrastructures and are now occupying the whole of Somalia illegally.
As a result of this unlawful invasion, thousands of Somalis fled their homes to escape from the indiscriminate Ethiopian air bombardment and thousand more were killed, the situation has only deteriorate.
On January 8, 2007 United States has also admitted it has carried out air strikes by AC-130 in southern Somalia targeting what it called Al-Qaeda suspect based on "credible intelligence", according Pentagon spokesman. Nevertheless US ambassador to Kenya Michael Ranneberger acknowledged no Al-Qaeda's were killed, who did they killed? Innocent civilians and their lives stocks, the media reported 70 were killed but resident on ground have reported much higher number of civilian casualties.
The Ethiopian Government Clearly violates Council resolution 733 (1992) which prohibits supply of armies, military equipments, technical training and assistance intended solely and the use of force. Security Council resolution 1725(2006), calls for respect of Somalia sovereignty, territorial integrity, political independent and Somali Unity.
