U.S. Aiding Somalia in Its Plan to Retake Its Capital

Recommended Posts

So, When the federal government re-takes the capital, we will end up Shariif, Indhocade and co to be our leaders? disaster walaahay. maraykan danta soomalida ma wado.

In my opinion, shabaab should be given an oppurtunity to rule entire somalia. They are the only group capable bring SomaliLand and Puntand to the fold.

I have a question for those who hold the above viewpoint:

 

Which is more important?

A- Having a unitary Somali state, or

B- The welfare of the Somali people

 

Take two minutes to think about that before you answer...

^^^^ The two choices you give are neither contradictory nor are they the only two possible choices (it's not black or white). You're peddling a fallacy (false dilemma) here so rephrase your thought. :D

Allah said this ya Kashafa, you didn't. And if you ever choose to take a break from your constant (and self-righteous) indignation, it would be nice see you argue how this verse is applicable in this instance when the "plot" has been announced to the whole world in the NY Times.

lets just hope that our so call president will take advantage of the opportunity with a skillful military. I really do want to see Al-Shabaab being stripped naked. But we should also be concern for the civilian- its a difficult situation for Somalia unfortunately.

This will only result another round of civilian casualties. Opposition forces will melt away when the going gets tough and come out when the momentum of the foreign-backed forces wanes. Poor families in Benadir will pay highest prices yet gain. The same old song!

 

Not a wise move.

It will be Interesting to see whether the Al Shabab deviants will try to hold their own against this 'supposed' firepower being backed by the US or like last time, will they just go undergroound and resume the insurgent(read: cowardly) style of warfare that they've become infamous for..

 

If I were a betting man, I think I'd put my money on the latter. Al Shabab are too fickle, too ignoble to hold their own against any serious armed opposition. They've only been fortunate enough to reach their current heights of impudence in southern Somalia solely because of the irresolute nature of Sheikh Sharif's leadership. But in any case, I fear these sons of b!tches will, yet again, hearken back to their trademark suicide bombings and resort once again to wreaking further havoc and devastation on the civilian population, just to spoil things for the TFG.

 

And unless, the TFG puts together a concrete plan to tackle the aftermath of an Al Shabab defeat in South Somalia, I'm afraid the status quo will only be repeated, irregardless of any help received from any foreign power.
