April 19, 2007: Three Somali Islamic radical leaders threatened Ethiopia with "all out war." The three emphasized Somali "national resistance" to Ethiopia. It was clearly an attempt to forge a new Somali national front. Is Eritrea backing the effort? . The three Somali leaders issued the statement in Eritrea's capital city, Asmara. Ethiopia has the upper hand in Somalia, while Eritrea is backing the weaker force (the Islamic Courts), which is also the more widely hated one. This puts Eritrea in the same corner with Islamic terrorists. Not a good place to be.
