There should be no allowance for any cease-fire talks until the Islamists are well and truly crushed. Keep the UN and the Arab League as far from this fight as possible until it’s truly finished. The Ethiopians and the transitional Somali government forces, fighting together against the Islamists in spite of a history of war between Ethiopia and Somalia, should not make the same mistake Israel and the US have made in Lebanon and Iraq and Afghanistan. They should win the fight outright and dictate terms to the surviving Islamists. Foreign fighters should either be imprisoned and tried for their crimes or, well, imprisoned and tried for their crimes. Anything less, and the Islamists will go to ground and come back with an insurgency in a few months or a year.Absolutely correct. Ethiopia needs to set an important example in the fight against Islamofascism by bringing down the Mogadishu right to the last one. They need to effectively wipe out the entire terrorist gang.

In fact, there’s nothing to guarantee that that won’t happen even if the Islamists accept their position and surrender outright. But a real and clear defeat for them and the demonstration of Ethiopia’s resolve will make an insurgency more difficult to mount and might dry up support from Iran and elsewhere. It might also put a dent in the plans fellow Islamists are laying for Israel in Gaza, to see their brethren rejected and defeated on the ground of Black Hawk Down.An interesting observation there, one more reason why this operation must be completed. Keep any negative movements out of this!
