Editorial Africa needs authentic governments, not occupation of Somalia 15 Jul 15, 2010 - 7:08:16 PM GAROWE ONLINE EDITORIAL | Imperialism – under any pretext – has absolutely no justification and is inherently evil, immoral, and eventually leads to self-destruction. One reads with disgust at the violent, opportunistic, and immoral call for the African Union to "occupy Somalia and rule her for 50 years" – indeed, the title of an opinion written by Mr. Jerry Okungu and published by Uganda-based New Vision newspaper. It is more sad and heartbreaking that Mr. Okungu misuses the memory of innocent victims of the July 11 bombings that killed more than 70 people in Kampala, the Ugandan capital. Rightfully, condolences go to the people of Uganda who became victims of a regional war deeply rooted in the 20-year-old conflict raging in Somalia. Al Shabaab, a Somalia-based militant group with ties to international terror networks, has claimed responsibility for the Kampala bombings. According to militant rhetoric, the bombings were "revenge" for Ugandan troops' presence in Mogadishu, the Somali capital, to support the Western-backed Transitional Federal Government (TFG) of Somalia. Al Shabaab accuses Ugandan soldiers of "massacres" against Somali civilians, a charge the Ugandan government and the African Union deny repeatedly. There is a real war raging in southern Somalia between the international community, including UN, AU, EU, U.S., and the Al Shabaab militants who are backed by hidden regional powers who are members of and pay lip service to that very same "international community." Indeed, Uganda has been caught squarely in the middle of a long, bitter, winner-takes-all war in Somalia with various international interests colluding and colliding – depending on the ever-shifting alliances on the ground in Somalia. Naturally, every war has consequences. In Mogadishu, there are daily bombings, indiscriminate shelling of civilian centers, and uprooting of civilians with no end in sight. No one remembers of Mogadishu's dying victims – indeed, the Somali conflict is the world's most forgotten war. Piracy – and, more recently, the Kampala bombings – have brought Somalia back on the international stage as a conflict that needs the world's attention and genuine support to the Somali people. But to read Mr. Okungu's despicable suggestion that the African Union "occupy Somalia" is a far-fetched, hate-inspired dream. He intentionally misuses the memory of the bombing victims to bring forth his imperialist views; how absurd, a fellow African, calling for a modern-day occupation of another African country for 50 years! How easily we Africans forget the painful torments of yesteryear's colonialism. Imperialism – under any pretext – has absolutely no justification and is inherently evil, immoral, and eventually leads to self-destruction. Somalia is a sick country and it needs prescription applied in a gentle, caring, and understanding way. Any forceful remedy will be met with an equally forceful reaction – as has been the case with the British and Italian colonizers, both of whom failed to brainwash Somalia, as was successfully done in a number of African countries through cultural imperialism. The strength of the Somalis was and is the Islamic religion, as Somalis do not feel inferior to Europeans, as is the case with many black Africans. Mr. Okungu, in his delusional mind, forgets or ignores that Uganda is a puppet country playing another man's game of global domination. Indeed, Uganda and Burundi are acting on the orders of non-Africans who seek to deepen the endless conflicts across Africa as a means of maintaining global dominance – no matter who dies, Somali or Ugandan. It is no secret that the Ugandan soldier deployed in Somalia gets paid higher wage than the Ugandan soldier in Uganda, not by the African Union, but by Western powers bankrolling AMISOM troops in Mogadishu. Furthermore, it is no secret that the Republic of Burundi, which just reemerged from decades of civil war, prefers to have its soldiers in Mogadishu instead of Bujumbura, where their violent tendencies are likely to cause another military coup or return the country back to civil war. These are the facts on the ground. Mr. Okungu, and like-minded individuals, should not beat up their chests as if they are free men able to make their own decisions. Africa's undemocratic rulers, including Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki who stole an election, remain the key impediment to Africa realizing its full potential, as they are naturally subservient to geopolitical interests – even if it endangers their own countries. Finally, Africa needs authentic governments, and not suggestions of occupying Somalia. In fact, the less foreign interference there is in Somalia, the better for Somalia and the world as a whole.

^Usheeg NNC Ayeeyo LoooooL@Dhoocil aan aqoon si loo niikiyo, or dhuuboow dhaadheerayaasha sidii sanabka gadaashooda utaagan? To be fair to the kids-they probably seen hiphop videos or Jamaican dancehall where boys stand there and girls uniikiyaan sidii muruq koronto ku dhagtey. I'm gonna listen to my advise and stop trolling.Jimca wanaagsan Somaliweyn! Alla ciyaalka ha,soo hanuuniyo!

Ayeeyo...Everyone of us watched the video, is that nuursi too? NNC...Hada lagula hadli karo miyaa mise subaxii dabeecad xun lasoo kacdaa Bal wayaahe let this be our last exchange till next time. I feel for casiir kids. Ok folks-lets stop trolling and digressing from the topic!

NNC...No one remembers what man does.People still love Bill.In fact, they pay hundreds of thousands for speaking engagements. Where's poor Lewinsky-imagine being famous for you know what. But I share Seeker's sentiment we should educate our children girls and boys alike instead of just ordering to conform. The behavior of the kids is bit out there. Mida kale, isdaji noh-ma carabaha maad ku nooleed ciyaal shaxam shaxam maas aheed

^There always was such thing. It was just underground!

^Waraa Tuujiye iska daa noh.

I was more disturbed by one or is two little children were sitting there viewing this disaster. This reminds in Somalia there was always one loose in every neighborhood. I guess this girl was it. I wonder where do these people live.Looks like they are not from the west? Gheelle.T..It's similar to something called Jamaican Dancehall Dry Sex dance. Don't youtube or google that. It's bit out there honestly

^I have said it before, AS made strategic blunder considering how much is at stakes for Somalis in East Africa.That said I'm not gonna weep for dead Ugandans considering the daily massacres of my people by Ugandan mercenary forces in Xamar.

Top Obama officials worried U.S. terror attack by Al Shabaab may be next after Uganda bombings In an interview with the South African Broadcasting Corporation Tuesday, Obama suggested that the group represents a growing threat to the region. "(W)hat we know is that if al-Shabaab takes more and more control within Somalia, that it is going to be exporting violence the way it just did in Uganda," he said. source

Obama Says U.S. Will "Redouble" Efforts Against Al-Shabaab Jim Lobe* WASHINGTON, Jul 14 (IPS) - U.S. President Barack Obama has said Washington will "redouble" its efforts against the Somali Islamist group al- Shabaab (The Youth), whose deadly bombings in Kampala Sunday are likely to result in stepped-up U.S. military and other assistance to the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) in Mogadishu. In an interview with the South African Broadcasting Corporation Tuesday, Obama suggested that the group represents a growing threat to the region. "(W)hat we know is that if al-Shabaab takes more and more control within Somalia, that it is going to be exporting violence the way it just did in Uganda," he said. "And so we've got to have a multinational effort. This is not something that the United States should do alone, that Uganda or others should do alone, but rather the African Union (AU), in its mission in Somalia, working the (TFG) to try to stabilise the situation and start putting that country on a pathway that provides opportunity for people, as opposed to creating a breeding ground for terrorism," Obama said. bbc

Terrorist groups like al-Qaeda and al-Shabab do not think African life is valuable, President Obama has said in response to the Uganda bombings. At least 74 people were killed in blasts targeting people watching the World Cup. The Somali Islamist group al-Shabab said it was behind the attacks because Uganda supports Somalia's government. An US administration official said al-Qaeda was racist and used black Africans as "cannon fodder". bbc

NAIROBI, (IRIN) - Tension is high between Somali and Sudanese refugees in Dadaab refugee camp, northern Kenya, after the killing of a Somali boy on the night of 13 July. The killing sparked riots in the camp after the body was found near structures occupied by Sudanese refugees, with reports that some shelters were burnt down. The Kenyan police and officials of the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) were in the camp and tried to calm things down. IRIN spoke on the telephone with Halima Ali Durgube, a Somali refugee who was the boy's guardian: "Abdullahi Mahmud Osman was 13. He was staying with my family although I am his second aunt. "Abdullahi arrived from Somalia recently. He was with us for only four days. Today would have been his fifth day and he is dead. "His father is dead and his mother is a pastoralist in Harardhere [near Mogadishu] where he was before going to Mogadishu and finally coming to Dadaab. "I last saw Abdullahi at around 8pm last night as he left home. He told me: 'Aunt, I am going to pray at the mosque... I will come back soon.' These were his last words to me as I opened the door for him to go out. "He did not come back soon and I eventually fell asleep; it was about 3am when I first noticed that Abdullahi had not returned. In the morning when I woke up, I heard people shouting, saying the body of a boy had been found lying somewhere in the camp. I rushed to the scene to find out what was happening. "I was shocked to recognize the body as that of Abdullahi; he had been slaughtered and his liver and kidneys taken. His hands were also damaged and his stomach was taken out of him... "I uncovered his face, which had been covered with a piece of cloth, and examined the body from head to toe. "The body was lying near the Sudanese camp residence. "Can you imagine how horrible I feel? I believe this was a deliberate plot by evil minds. I don’t think he was killed by other youths; youth cannot eat liver and kidneys. I believe these organs were taken by people who eat flesh. "The police have taken Abdullahi's body; we don’t know where it is as I have not received any information from them yet. "I have never seen horrible killing like this... I haven’t communicated with UNHCR officials because riots broke out between Somalis and Sudanese as soon as the body was found. I went back home to ensure the safety of my children. "At the moment, I don't have anything to say. Everybody can see this is a catastrophe. Everyone can see what has happened to us. "We trust God will relieve us from the grievance we face." Hiiraan

It depends on the number people in the family and the location as far as Kenya is concerned. Somalia is relatively cheap. On average, single person can live off $100-150.

^It's unfortunate development if it's proved they actually carried out this attack. Amistad...One would think you would learn from 20 yrs of foriegn intervention.There's no such thing called constructive engagement. Things will only get worse.

^

^You would have run away in the first sign of trouble What happened was unfortunate but expected.

Duke has always been consistent in his support for Yeey and the reasoning behind that support.People condemned and even insulted him. Now those very people are supporting Sharif who is indulging in the very things Yeey was known for. And whether you support Yeey or not, Yeey was also consistent but Sharif is hypocrite who declared war on Zenawi only to sit with him later looking all submissive. Sharif then and now

Uganda was warned repeatedly to leave Somalia and stop their discriminate bombardment of suuq Bakaaraha, suuq bacaad, and other neighborhoods.They were told what repercussions will be should they continue being mercenaries in Xamar. Nin kuu digey kuma dilin! On the larger geopolitical arena, this was bad move on the part of Al-Shabaab.

Maaddeey....If it turns Al-Shabaab did this. It's bad for all of us.There's really no need to do this considering the West and their minions were beginning to talk about disengaging from ineffective TFG. Not everything can be solved with bullets. Sometimes you need to play savvy politics.
