Shied His Soul
She's coming on his path,
but he did not look down,
Her quick check on him struck him
as a pang.
His sharp edged intellect's dulled,
watered down, or gone,
And felt a major alter happenings in his soul,
a disturbing clang.
The soul rays arranged and
rearranged into a single row,
For it paused all senses, and began its journey
up to the surface.
Great beauty, paradise's glory
what on her what he saw,
The look of prophets' thrill, captivating
her face.
He stood up there gazing,
half dead for a while,
Equally, for unwise and wise eyes: he's just seemed
a silly guy.
His faculties of sense,
partly disconnected or a little avail,
Shied his soul when the body withdrew
or amazingly sly.

Ethiopia (MNN) -- There have been two attacks on Christians within days of each other in Ethiopia.
Voice of the Martyrs-Canada sources say the first attack took place on January 5, where a Christian was murdered in a small town in Central Ethiopia.
Ajja Delge was killed by an unknown person in the town of Kofele. VOMC reports he was hit on the head with a metal iron, and his body was found in a nearby jungle the following day. Family members believe he was killed by Muslims. Since the Kofele area is dominated by Muslims, local Christians believe it is unlikely that the police will conduct a proper investigation into Delge's murder.
Then, on January 8, Muslims burned the homes of three Christian families in Begge, Western Ethiopia. Tareku Meres, Jemal Tasesa and Tamene Gemechu and their families are currently taking shelter at a local Gospel church. At last report, police have taken little action in either case.

Somalia has become the new frontier in the war on terror, joining the unpopular club of Afghanistan and Iraq, a situation that is worrying the rest of Africa.
The only difference is that President George W. Bush sent U.S. troops to get rid of the Taliban in Kabul and Saddam Hussein in Baghdad, after Sep. 11. Bush is using the same soldiers to hunt down what he calls "terrorists".
In Somalia, Bush's dirty work is being handled by Ethiopia. Ethiopian troops, backing Somalia's weak Transitional Federal Government (TFG), drove out a radical Islamic militia group from the capital Mogadishu on Dec. 28, 2006.
The Islamists, who had become popular, had restored some semblance of stability after 15 years of lawlessness. Somalia has no effective central authority since the fall of the dictator Mohamed Siad Barre in 1991. After getting rid of Barre, the rebels then turned on each other.

Ethiopia gears up for millennium party
According to the Ethiopian calendar, we are in mid-1999. Here, "the year is divided into 12 months of 30 days each and a 13th month of 5 days and 6 days in leap year," the Ethiopian Ministry of Culture explains. The Ethiopian calendar is 7 and a half year behind the Gregorian calendar, also having 365 days in a normal year and 366 days in each leap year, so the distance remains almost constant.
According to Harvard University Professor Ephraim Isaac, most scholars that have studied Biblical times agree that the Ethiopian calendar is much closer than the Gregorian to start its calculations of time around the birth of Jesus Christ. Some put this event in the year 0 of the Ethiopian calendar, while most historians hold the founder of Christianity was born in year 3 of the same calendar - or year 5 in the Gregorian.

He has clearly decided to emulate them. His argument is exactly that which was given by George W. Bush and Ehud Olmert. We must attack our neighbor because we have to keep Islamic terrorists from pursuing their jihad and attacking us. more

Mogadishu
Somalia's internal affairs minister Hussein Mohammed Farah Aideed has alleged today that his remarks that Ethiopia and Somalia should unite with one passport were distorted by the press on Wednesday.
He denied that he meant Ethiopia and Somalia should be combined as one nation. "My speech was not as people took it", he said.
Speaking at a government meeting participated by the cabinet ministers and the parliament cabinet, Aideed stated:
"When I said that the boundaries between Ethiopia and Somalia should be wiped out, I did not mean that the two countries should be combined as one country, but I meant that two nations should be more friendly and brotherly to create confidences between the two peoples", he said.
He said he did not even mean that Somalis should abandon their passport and take the Ethiopian one. "I meant both nations can have one passport as European countries do", he said.
He accused the press of writing all his terms to the opposite. "I never said Somalia must be colonized and I never will", he added.
Civil society organizations in the capital asked the international community to bring an immediate peacekeeping force to Somalia to secure the war torn country, Somalia.

yea, yea, yea!
The day that she was born
she's been
so sad,
Day in day out: cried,
cried, and cried
so bad.
In that her nameless language,
she became
annoyance,
Everyone enjoyed it though
engaged in
a tapping dance.
kinfolks giggled
and said yea, yea, yea
But she cried
and said nay, nay, nay.
Learnt lifting up and setting down
each foot and a good
walk of life,
Though many nays, many yeas
made her soul
tough and rough.
The designer at the end
gave her
a whistle call,
She became delightful
and smiled
the sweetest one of all.
She wished getting some ears
to share
that pleasure,
But everyone's busy
filling the teardrops up
in a larger tanker.
She giggled
