Mogadishu — Since the Islamic courts union took over the Somali capital and its surroundings.
Ethiopian government's concern grows over a major battle between the Islamic court's militias and its forces what it called Eritrean embroil.
There are accusations and counter -accusations between Ethiopian and Eritrean governments meddling into the internal affairs of the anarchic Somalia.
Arch-foes Ethiopia and Eritrea, who are accused of supporting the rival Somali sides, are believed having made a political battle ground for the anarchistic country Somalia, but they often deny these accusation while there are some clear cut proofs as some independent sources confirm
Ethiopian authority accused of its rival, Eritrea of giving logistic and military support to the Islamic courts union which is enjoying broader support from almost the entire community of Somalia, on the other hand Eritrea accuse Ethiopian the same manner of supporting the weak Somali TFG based in Baidoa the provincial capital of By region .
Somalia engaged bitter war Ethiopia over territorial dispute in 1977 which left hundreds.
Ethiopia is now said to be afraid of Islamic courts to launch a war against its territory in lieu of Eritrea.
When the Ethiopian officials asked about the military intervention waging in Somali territory, in reply they often describe the move as "border tight security"
Islamists in Somalia deem Ethiopian authority is hostile to Somali community and has a great grudge against Somali people in which the Islamists claim they defend their country what the called enemy of "Islam Ethiopia" but are the Islamic courts ready to fight with Ethiopia on behalf of Eritrea?.
