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.

Jan 18, 2007 (ADDIS ABABA) — Ethiopian Foreign Minister Seyoum Mesfin said the Eritrean regime which has been trying hard to destabilize the Horn of Africa in collaboration with “terrorists” is putting itself into chaos. He further urged Eritrea to refrain from supporting Ethiopian opposition.

In an interview with Ethiopian TV, Seyoum said the Eritrean government is one that has repeatedly challenged the peace and security of the Horn of Africa Region. As a result, Seyoum said, the regime is remaining isolated from the international community.

Somalia: The New Frontier in the War On Terror

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.
