The Islamphobic Washington plutocracy has set its eyes on Somalia...It is sad to see the country torn apart for no other reason than to plunder and pillage. Somalia and its people have never been a threat to Ethiopia or any other nation in the Horn, least of all the United States. Somalia is not a terrorist haven, that has been the pretext for the intervention in Somalia from the get go.

The Somali people are not insurgents and the puppet TNG installed is not one of their own choosing. They are forced to defend their nation and their resources and no amount of propaganda by the Washington plutocracy and their hired guns will change that fact. The wishes and aspirations of the Somali people cannot be extinguished by gun fire. Killing Somalis and labeling them 'extremists', 'fundamentalists' etc. is not going to absolve anyone of the genocide in Somalia.

The US-backed Ethiopian invasion and occupation of Somalia in 24 December 2006 has caused the greatest humanitarian emergency in the history of Somalia. Over a million have been displaced, over 17,000 massacred in cold blood and thousands more have been injured and abused and international crimes are committed in that country with impunity.

Under the watchful eyes of the UN Security Council and the inept and corrupt regional organizations in the region, the Organization for African Disunity and the Intergovernmental Authority for the Destruction of the region, Somalia is being systematically dismembered and weakened.

As for the mercenary Somali elite, their historical betrayal of the people of Somalia will never be forgotten. History and the people of Somalia, wherever they end up, will judge them harshly for every drop of Somali blood shed, for every tear shed by a Somali child in agony, for every orphan left homeless and alone, every rape victim, and every displaced man, woman and child who are suffering today because of their greed and cowardice!

By shakir.
