The myth of U.S. 'humanitarian' intervention in Africa

The January 8 strike in the city of Afmadow killed at least 70 civilians. Why has this issue not even been discussed? Somaliland unn ayaa la hadal hayaaye. Why not discuss this bombing? -

What a car :cool: On 4 July 1957, an Italian icon hit the road as the first Fiat 500 rolled off the production line in Turin. Exactly 50 years later, another Fiat 500 is being launched. http://news.bbc.co.uk/nol/shared/spl/hi/pop_ups/07/business_the_cinquecento_returns/img/laun.jpg

I would argue the ONLF go political within Ethiopia. How many Somalis in Ethiopia vs Ethiopians?

Violence forcing residents out of the capital again NAIROBI, 4 July 2007 (IRIN) - Residents of Mogadishu, who had returned to the Somali capital after fleeing recent fighting between government forces and insurgents, are leaving the city again amid continuing violence, local sources said. "There has been an increase in the number of displaced who have returned to the camp in the past 30 days," said Hawa Abdi, a doctor, whose 26-hectare compound, 20km south of Mogadishu, is home to thousands of internally displaced persons (IDPs). "There were about 12,000 people sheltering in the compound in May, but there are now double this figure," she told IRIN on 4 July. "The property next to mine is now being turned into an IDP camp and as I am speaking to you, I can see a new family putting up a temporary shelter," Abdi said. "In May, people had been returning to Mogadishu but in June we saw people coming [instead] to the camp." An estimated 1,000 families returned to the area in June alone, she said. Despite the violence, at least 123,000 of the 400,000 people who fled Mogadishu between February and June have returned to the city, according to UN estimates. Many are from regions close to Mogadishu, such as Lower and Middle Shabelle. Prime Minister plays down violence But speaking in the Ghanaian capital of Accra on 3 July, Somali Prime Minister Ali Mohamed Gedi downplayed suggestions that daily violence in Mogadishu and other areas was so serious that it might even threaten a planned national reconciliation conference in mid-July. "I am optimistic security forces will be able to secure the capital city for the reconciliation conference," he told Reuters. Aid workers said insecurity and violence had limited the population’s ability to survive, restricted humanitarian operations and led to increases of between 50 and 100 percent in the prices of basic necessities such as transport, water, food and non-food items. In a situation report issued on 29 June, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), said despite a curfew in the city, grenade and bomb attacks as well as assassinations had continued. According to OCHA, 16 explosions went off in the first two nights of the curfew and on 26 June, a roadside bomb in Bakara market killed five women. The next day, two Ethiopian soldiers were killed as a military convoy hit a roadside bomb. Local residents said many people had been caught up in daily violence. "When there is an explosion, security forces respond by firing indiscriminately and arresting anyone they can find," a source said. ah/mw/eo

They back tracked. It didnt go ahead -
Crackdown in Ethiopia condemned Ethiopia's government has been accused of forcing thousands of civilians from their homes in a campaign against separatist rebels in the south-east. US-based Human Rights Watch says troops had burned homes, seized livestock and carried out arbitrary arrests. The group also accused the rebels of targeting officials and clan leaders who failed to support its insurgency. Security was stepped up in April in the remote Somalia region after a deadly rebel raid on a Chinese-run oil field. The ethnic Somali rebels - the ****** National Liberation Front (ONLF) - have been fighting for secession for the Somali region, also known as the ******, since the 1990s. Eyewitnesses "The Ethiopian government appears to be pursuing an illegal strategy of collective punishment of the civilian population, and the ONLF has targeted civilians for attack," Human Rights Watch's Africa director Peter Takirambudde said. "Whatever the military strategy behind them, these abuses violate the laws of war," his statement continued. But Bereket Simon, special adviser to Ethiopia's prime minister, denied the accusations. "The facts on the ground are absolutely different from what they say," AP news agency quotes Mr Bereket as saying. HRW's Tom Porteous told the BBC's Focus on Africa programme that the report was based on evidence collected from people fleeing the region, mainly to neighbouring Somaliland. "Whatever the sympathies of those civilians in the Somali region, it is quite clear under international humanitarian law that targeting these civilians is illegal and acceptable," he said. "In the long run it's counter-productive; it's likely to lead to an escalation of the conflict rather than a de-escalation of it. This conflict has serious regional implications." Meanwhile, about 100 Somalis are reported to be stranded on the border after being deported from Ethiopia, but refused permission to enter Somaliland. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/6270780.stm
