political minefield and security mayhem

Contemporary civil wars in some parts of the world particularly in Somalia Somali are primarily of a political nature. There is, however, some degree of incongruity present in other conflicts that have ethnic nature such as Rwanda and Burundi (Hutu versus Tutsi), or those of sectarian nature such as Iraq and Lebanon (Shia versus Sunni) - although energy was the primary motive that triggered the Iraqi war in the first place.There are also resource driven conflicts such as Democratic Republic of Congo (blessed or cursed whichever it maybe, with precious resources such as Colton, diamond, uranium, gold,). And conflicts that have strategic importance such as Afghanistan-the only viable export route of Caspian energy basin worth more than 12 trillion dollars. .Somalia’s civil war is unique; it is not any of those mentioned above. Its roots are political, and the main protagonists (Hawiye warlords of all stripes) are all presidential wannabes.When the all hawiye Islamic Courts entered in the political scene in June 2006, we thought an endogenous political group were about to take root, at least blessed with moral rectitude. That prospect has now been dashed. The new administration led by Talaban President Sh. Sharif Sheikh Ahmed are exogenous in nature, they are enormous in size and lack coherence much less a moral rectitude. The task before them is massive, they can hardly fulfill a fraction of what is demanding to be done.
Somalia is cursed with an awful social stratification power-sharing formula (4.5). However cumbersome that formula may be, it would have been mitigated and made manageable if much of the deal was to be done amongst Somali leaders in a traditional Somali fashion. Unfortunately, that is not the case. The so called international community is calling the shots.Feingold Advocates for Change in U.S.-Somalia Policy..'Very Naive, clueless.... misguided...left-wing Apologists conference They designate the winners and the losers in Somali conflict; they dispose and depose the leaders of their choice, in other words they are the de facto major stakeholders in the Somali political setting. Thus, any administration Administration that emerges from such a process is ultimately expected to put the preferences of the international actors first, and the desires of the Somali people second. But all depends how the new leaders keep the tricky balance between demands of the international community the aspirations of their people., one of the reasons some Islamists are still dragging their feet when it comes on pledging support for the current government, the prospects is very bad . there is no hope.The government should use military means , that is what we adviced same as international backers advice them to do so. My guess is that jehadist Terrorist Hassan Dahir Aweys and jehadist Terrorist Al-Shabab spokesman Mukhtar Robow Ali alias Abu Mansur , The most Dangerous man Sheikh Hassan turky http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dB2mnoXLoec&feature=related and the lieutenant al shabaab , will never join hands with the government in restoring peace..Somali Talaban mostly Hawiye Government is not willing to Fight In their own .They Know most of these Jihadists are on USA Terrorist list, Shabaab al-Mujahideen: They are die-hard jehadist, they will choose to stay away from the political process,The threat is from violent extremists who are a small minority of the world's 1.3 billion Muslims, the threat is real. They distort Islam. They kill man, woman and child; Christian and Hindu, Jew and Muslim. They seek to create a repressive caliphate. To defeat this enemy, we must understand who we are fighting against, and what we are fighting for. obviously they would be to capture or kill ..Let me quote the British politician Sir Winston Churchill (1874 – 1965) saying:” Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realize that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events,Terrorists filter into Africa

Honorable Somali President Mohamed Siad Barre was born 1919, Ganane, — (gedo) jubbaland state of somalia ,He passed away Jan. 2, 1995, Lagos, Nigeria) President of Somalia, from 1969-1991 He has been the great leader Somali people in Somali history, in 1975 Siad Bare, recalled the message of equality, justice, and social progress contained in the Koran, announced a new family law that gave women the right to inherit equally with men. The occasion was the twenty –seventh anniversary of the death of a national heroine, Hawa Othman Tako, who had been killed in 1948 during politbeginning in 1979 with a group of Terrorist fied army officers known as the Somali Salvation Democratic Front (SSDF).Mr Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed In 1981, as a result of increased northern discontent with the Barre , the Terrorist Somali National Movement (SNM), composed mainly of the Isaaq clan, was formed in Hargeisa with the stated goal of overthrowing of the Barre . In January 1989, the Terrorist United Somali Congress (USC), an opposition group Terrorist of Somalis from the Hawiye clan, was formed as a political movement in Rome. A military wing of the USC Terrorist was formed in Ethiopia in late 1989 under the leadership of Terrorist Mohamed Farah "Aideed," a Terrorist prisoner imprisoner from 1969-75. Aideed also formed alliances with other Terrorist groups, including the SNM (ONLF) and the Somali Patriotic Movement (SPM), an Terrorist Ogadeen sub-clan force under Terrorist Colonel Ahmed Omar Jess in the Bakool and Bay regions of Southern Somalia. , 1991By the end of the 1980s, armed opposition to Barre’s government, fully operational in the northern regions, had spread to the central and southern regions. Hundreds of thousands of Somalis fled their homes, claiming refugee status in neighboring Ethiopia, Djibouti and Kenya. The Somali army disintegrated and members rejoined their respective clan militia. Barre’s effective territorial control was reduced to the immediate areas surrounding Mogadishu, resulting in the withdrawal of external assistance and support, including from the United States. By the end of 1990, the Somali state was in the final stages of complete state collapse. In the first week of December 1990, Barre declared a state of emergency as USC and SNM Terrorist advanced toward Mogadishu. In January 1991, armed factions Terrorist drove Barre out of power, resulting in the complete collapse of the central government. Barre later died in exile in Nigeria. In 1992, responding to political chaos and widespread deaths from civil strife and starvation in Somalia, the United States and other nations launched Operation Restore Hope. Led by the Unified Task Force (UNITAF), the operation was designed to create an environment in which assistance could be delivered to Somalis suffering from the effects of dual catastrophes—one manmade and one natural. UNITAF was followed by the United Nations Operation in Somalia (UNOSOM). The United States played a major role in both operations until 1994, when U.S. forces withdrew. Warlordism, terrorism. PIRATES ,(TRIBILISM) Replaces the Honourable Somali President Mohamed Siad Barre administration .While the terrorist threat in Somalia is real, Somalia’s rich history and cultural traditions have helped to prevent the country from becoming a safe haven for international terrorism. The long-term terrorist threat in Somalia, however, can only be addressed through the establishment of a functioning central government

They kill man, woman and child; Christian and Hindu, Jew and Muslim. They seek to create a repressive caliphate.
