"We are now planning to launch the most enormous attacks on the government and Ethiopian main positions. We will allow no foreign forces in our land... In the past days the infidel troops of Ethiopians along with their puppets and al-Shabab al-Mujahideen have fought heavily in Mogadishu. We have raided the enemies' military bases showering them with mortar shells...When we force Ethiopia to withdraw its troops from our country, its traitors will follow and the people will be able to embrace an Islamic government.
