Danish Ship Hijacked Off Somalia
http://www.shabelle.net/news/ne3032.htm
Let's see: The French navy can't enter Somali waters, but the Somali transitional government doesn't have a navy. So that leaves Somali waters open to the pirates? I think the U.S. navy has a different approach.

SomaliNet News: Somalia: Former warlords to be named for ministerial posts : SomaliNet > Somali > So
http://somalinet.com/news/world/Somalia/10091
I get the feeling that Somali "Warlords" are in fact the traditional leaders, men committed to Somalia, who lead Somali families and clans. In the absence of a central government these men emerge as armed, unelected leaders. Militia perhaps? These leaders are now being recognized by the government. I think it may be a good thing.

http://www.shabelle.net/news/ne2841.htm
It looks like things are creeping back to normal after the latest face off with the Islamic insurgents. My impression of Shabelle.net - leans towards the Islamists, away from democracy. They could use a better English editor too.

It sounds like Somalia has managed to get through another attack by insurgents linked to the Council of Islamic Courts. The PM sounds like he intends to take the battle to the insurgents and to destroy them as a force. The Somali government is still getting support from Ethiopian troops.
