Wisdom_Seeker Posted February 8, 2007 I guess this is how Mogadishu looks like when the TFG controls it. Martial Law went right out the window. There is no warlords, no ICU and yet they are still too inept to secure Mogadishu Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wisdom_Seeker Posted February 8, 2007 ^^ taliban, did you hear, America said it will open a base in Africa, to stop AQ from taking root. They haven't mentioned which country they are going to have their base at. But i am willing to bet that it is non other than Somalia. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They haven't mentioned which country they are going to have their base at. But i am willing to bet that it is non other than Somalia. They have already a base in Djibouti. If the news is about a new base, there are a number of regions (Waqooyi Galbeed, Bari, iwm) whose secular leaders are more than willing to welcome America and its bases. However, this news is merely a PR stunt, as opening bases means very little. They have many bases in Iraq and Afghanistan; what effect does it has on the insurgencies of those countries? Negligible effect. America is losing in both countries, and it's a matter of time (not if) before it's forced to withdraw out of there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jabhad Posted February 8, 2007 "And yet the TFG is betting the 8000 African troops could do a better job than the Ethiopian occupiers in securing Mogadishu." Ethiopians are not safe even in their hiding places let alone secure Mogadishu, a city of 2+ million. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
