The 843-day war
By Prof. Al Mariam
In mid-July 2006, Zenawi sent his troops to Somalia to prop up the so-called transitional government in Baidoa. By late December 2006, his tanks rolled into Mogadishu to dislodge the "government" of the Islamic Courts Union (ICU) and crush the "Talibanic" Al Shabab.
