First of all, Somalia is a Failed State. That means there isn't any functioning government. The famine hit the Al-Shabaab held areas of Somalia the worst. They refused to accept foreign aid/food, and they constantly create an environment of violence for the inhabitants of Southern Somalia. Certain regions of Northern Somalia are functioning properly fine without the need of foreign aid and that is mainly due to the stability and peace they have. "Al-Shataan" are corrupt, violent, and power-hungry warlords, hiding behind Islam. As you could see those women in the picture are probably from Al-Shataan held regions and they seem well fed and ready to kill, while the children are dying of starvation. These people are not risking their lives only, they are directly and indirectly killing innocent Somalis.
yeah, there are some stupid acts some members commit out of ignorance,
Stupid acts? That is a stupid comment you just made. Does killing innocent people come close to being called stupid act? Does implementing gang-like initiations, where they force young boys to kill their parents, their uncles, and their neighbors what you would refer to as a "stupid act". Does forcing children to fight their wars a "Stupid Act". Does shooting from behind my grandmother's house a "STUPID ACT". These people are criminal savages. Does shooting anyone that speaks out against their criminal acts and Stupid Act? How about standing infront of the mosque, waiting for a person to come out of the Mosque, and then shoot them while refering to them as a Kafir!
You know nothing about the rules of engagement or the rules in which Al-Shaatan, or what my family members have to go through because of these criminals you support!
Listen, Somalia was never close to getting "Shariah Law". They just dissolved some WARLORDS, and ACCEPTED some WARLORDS who started to wear a "Kufi and Khamis". And second of all, Somalis have been fighting each other LONG before the Ethiopia, the Kenya, or the Uganda sent troops to Mogadishu. What exactly did the Arab League did for Somalia for the past 21 years? Uganda, Kenya, and Ethiopia are part of the African Union. And Al-Shataan was stupid enough to threaten Ethiopia and Kenya. And for your information, the current TFG president was the leader of the ICC, which Al-Shataan was once part of.
I don't need the "western media" to know what is happening in Somalia. I've PLENTY of family members there, and ignorant individuals such as yourself who think they are doing the Somalis a favor by blindly advocating for a group that is tribalistic, violent, and un-Islamic, are actually blindly and ignorantly giving support to Muslim-Killers.
You think you are helping, but all you are doing is imposing your "Muslims vs, the West" mentality on an issue far more complicated than you current can comprehend.
P.S. Does the words Afghanistanian? of Americanian? Exist? There is no such thing as "Somalian". It's Somali/Somalis!
