Islamist militants took almost full control of Mogadishu on Thursday, less than 24 hours after Ethiopian troops withdrew from Somalia's capital, a witness reported.
The Ethiopian forces pulled out their last remaining bases in the city late Wednesday after two years propping up Somalia's transitional government.
Forces from different Islamist groups -- including the hard-line al-Shabab, which the United States has designated a terror organization -- immediately seized every base the Ethiopians abandoned.

Any time you hear the yodeling of the Call To Prayer, the Islamist groups have taken over a city.
We've already lost Michigan.
This is when having a nuke handy would be nice.

But, but, but that is the “most beautiful sound in the world” according to the President Elect! We should ALL love that sound of the religion of peace!

Yeah, I know, what's a somali goat herder/itinerant terrorist going to do for a living in the U.S. Well, we could put them on welfare! There's plenty of folks working here, and I'm sure that none of us would mind chipping in to make a nice luxurious life for these new “Americans”.
I'll bet the addition of their diversity would have a wonderful impact, especially in a relatively homogeneous area like Minneapolis.
I have a lot of good ideas.
You could probably land an editorial position at the Wall Street Journal with that kind of insight and responsibility.
Good thing the anti pirate patrols have been handing captured pirates over the Somali govt. Now the Muslims can set them all free to do more pirating and terrorizing. <sarcasm
(used to be, pirates where hung from the yard arms or forced to walk the plank. I guess we just aren't that smart anymore.)
And the world lets out a collective yawn while they continue to wring their hands over all the dead Hamasholes
