Eritrea Reportedly Arming AlShabab Militants.

Alshabab Militants have been freshly reinforced by Eritrea with arms and recruits, and are preparing to fight against the Somali Unity government and A.U. peacekeeping forces take over the ports and the airports, say Somali Minister and intelligence officials and other sources with direct knowledge of the events.

In the past two days, Eretria has sent several airplanes loaded with weapons, food and medicine in Balidogle airstrip near Mogadishu to the Alshabab and Hisbul ISlam spirtuall leader Dahir Awes. According to the sources Dahir Awes has also sponsored military training for several hundred Hisbul Islam Fighters at their own security forces' main camp, they said. Most of the reinforced Militants units are led by Arab fighters, a longtime friend of Awes better known as Abu Tariq who is now living in Mogadishu under Awes loyalist's protection. For months, Western military and intelligence officials have reported Eretria´s tacit support for the Somali Islamist and friendship with their leaders. But in recent days intelligence officials, diplomats and sources with direct knowledge of Shabab and Hisbul Islam activities say his support has become more active and the threat of a wider regional war is growing. These sources say Awes s recent arrival In Mogadishu reinforced violence in Mogadishu, his determination to either control Somalia, or back a new escalation of war in Mogadishu is credible. Awes acknowledged his friendship and historical ties with Alqaida leaders, in the past and he now become the number one enemy of peace in Somalia.

Today Somali security minister Omar Hashi told the BBC that "there is continues evidence establishing close links between the Arms o alshabab and the presence of terrorist leader Dahir Awes who is based in Asmara . Last week, senior Alshabab Official warned that the war in Somalia could spill into North Eastern region. And that they will invade Kenya. Kenya minister, responded by warning Alshabab not to "threaten this country with war, especially one that you cannot win. . . . Stop blaming your war on Kenya. he said"

Sources with direct knowledge said Arab and Asian Jihadist who are working for Shabab have been training fighters In near kismayu to go to Mogadishu and carry out suicide missions and killings.. They said men are equipped with pistols and grenades as well surface-to-air missiles, assault rifles, antitank weapons and other arms from a 66-ton shipment that moved through Baidabo from Balidogle airstrip. Until Eretria is punished, there will be turmoil in the region," said one intelligence official." There is too much evidence that Eritrean regime is arming terrorist and they are ignoring international Sanctions on Somalia." He concluded. Therefore the world must stop Eritrean interference in Somalia, so that Somalia can be stabilized.
