	Military of Somalia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dreams of a 'Greater Somalia' and Somalian support of the WNLF-rebels, active inside the Ethiopian part of the Ogaden, led Siad Barre's regime to start an invasion of the Ethiopian Ogaden province, in 1977.
		Somalia Prime Minister Ali Mohamed Gedi, who is based in Baidoa -- a neutral town 240 kilometers (150 miles) northwest of Mogadishu and the temporary capital of the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) -- recognizes the power of the Islamic militias and has reportedly tried to open a line of dialogue with the ICU.

	Somalia - British Military Administration
		Somalia was full of Italian military stragglers, so the security services of the northern and southern protectorates collaborated in rounding them up.
		Additionally, military administrators opened the political process for Somalis, replacing Italian-appointed chiefs with clan-elected bodies, as well as district and regional councils whose purpose was to advise the military administration.
		Although southern Somalia legally was an Italian colony, in 1945 the Potsdam Conference decided not to return to Italy the African territory it had seized during the war.

	PINR - War Clouds Loom over Somalia as Military Fronts Open Up Amid a Flurry of Diplomacy
		The event that triggered the increased militarization of the conflict was the I.C.C.'s peaceful takeover on September 24 of the key seaport of Kismayo in Somalia's deep south and its inroads into the southern regions of Middle and Lower Jubba.
		A military confrontation between the Somaliland administration and the I.C.C. is distant, but the events of early October show that the sub-state is being drawn into the wider conflict and faces an internal opposition sympathetic to the Courts movement.
		The key factor in the current military situation in Somalia is the presence of Ethiopia on all the emerging fronts.

	AUTHORITY TO USE UNITED STATES MILITARY FORCES IN SOMALIA
		I am further informed that the efforts of the United States and other nations and of private organizations to deliver humanitarian relief to those areas of Somalia are being severely hampered by the breakdown of governmental authority in Somalia and, in particular, by armed bands who steal relief commodities for their own use.
		Apart from your constitutional authority, I conclude that ample statutory authority exists for the use of the military to engage in the distribution of humanitarian relief in Somalia.
