Why did Somali Insurgents Reject al-Qaida Criticism

It was just a few weeks ago in DJabuti, that the head of the Alliance for the Re-liberation of Somalia (ARS) agreed with the useless TFG to a deal calling for an end to insurgent clashes with Ethiopian invaders and their proxy allies, the TFG Millitia, where both parties agreed to bring UN Troops to Mogadishu to replace Ethiopian civilian hunters, an unlikely task, in the next 120 days. Provided the fact this is not much of a deal worth even discussing, there are cries from concerned muslims around the world about how this is an invitation for the Ethiopian army to continue their work which is a job the Bush administration wants to sustain destabilization of the Somali people.

As reported by VOA, Sunday, an al-Qaida leader, Abu Yahya Al-Libi, posted a video to a militant Islamist website, criticizing the deal. He urged Somalis to continue fighting for an Islamist government in Somalia.

Alliance for the Re-Liberation of Somalia Deputy Chairman Abdirahman Abdishakur, who was in the Kenyan capital Nairobi, rejected the terrorist appeal.

"I do not think we are interested in al-Qaida's statements and they have nothing to do with Somali issues. Al-Qaida has not got any base in Somalia and they always issue statements against any peace process. I do not think their statements are relevant to the Somali people," said Abdishakur.

This is why the Somalis have unsurmountable task of uniting themselves before any peace can take hold in their country. Some of us are weak and are afraid they may be labelled terrists if they don't do what the big GIANT wants; comdemn someone else for speaking their opinion on a certain issue that involves us. Is Abdishakur afraid that the US may put him on the terrorist list if he doesn't reject what Abu Yahya Al-Libi says? Considering one of the deals in the agreement he recently signed was to abandon his militant activities, I am not surprised he is doing what he can; condemn instead of abandon.

How does american pay to kill Somalis?

While you and I are sitting infront of a computer basically enjoying peace and calm in our lives, there are people in many places in Africa struggling to survive. If you live in the west, it is next to impossible to know what I mean. Really. How many of us living in North America, or in Europe ever witnessed a murder? No, the TV and movies certainly don't count in real life. I am talking about a real cold blooded murder where a soldier stopped a civilian right in the street, then aim his AK-47 at him, and then right there infront of everybody that was there, shut the civilian right in forehead. Now, you ask yourself, have you ever seen anything closer to that brutality, happening to so many innocent people? What if I told you that you could be the one financing that same soldier to kill thousands of young women and children with missiles and automatic guns as the defendlessly cry and beg for their life?

Everyone denies what they can't admit to. It is in human nature to say, "It is not my fault, it is someone else's fault". But, the fact is what the truth tells.

Africa is a continent whose countries are controlled by dictators. Zimbabwe, we all know who the dictator is. Ithiopia, his name is Zinawi. etc etc. The governments are ruthless and in order to stay in power they usually have to resort to making sure everyone is in check and that no political movements or other orginaziation can say or do anything not in the governments interest. But people do. So the government imprisons, torturs or kills members of the civilian population who, regardless of the extents of their actions, do something anti-govermental. Just recently, a couple years back, a prime example was when Melez Zenawi, the Ethiopian dictator, ordered his military to shoot at a gathering of students demonstrating against him after fixing an election. The Zenawi government is not legit and all Ethiopians know that. In fact, there is a struggle against him with rural areas being attached everyday by armed millitias. So he kills every citizen who speaks of them or the facts, or says something. Similarly, we all know what Mugabi in Zimbabwe does to his people, the same Saddaam Husein did, but that another story.

Killing your people, those that are citizens of the country your dictatorly rule, and killing people from other nations is totally a different thing. That is why America is hated all over Arab countries. They kill, or help kill foreigners. But fortunately, the American government cannot kill its people because it is a democratic country. Well it atleast cannot kill its people in broad day light. Regardless, it does contribute to killing people overseas, especially in Africa. I am not even going to mention IRAQ because that is well documented. But, I refuse, and I must, as an african to stay quiet while african people are killed by foreigners because it suits their interest.

Here is the situation, take Somalia for example. It is a small country whose population no more than 10 million people. But the country is located in a strategic geographical area where there is unexplored oil, natural gas, and minerals. So it is a hot bed for oil exploriation companies as they all have their eye on it. The bigger company you are, the most influence on who explores that oil you want to be.

Apparently, this is the truth because there are documented news stating there are several amercian, European and asian companies running around inside the country eventhough the country is at war with Ethiopia. A simple google search Somalia Oil keyword will return numerous links and mostly about oil companies. But you might not hear this fact. Goerge Bush sent US Troops, under the cover of helping starving somalis, so he can get influence for his oil company in the exploration of this untouched oil reserves. His son, then came back to Somali again a decade later, again under the cover of rooting out al-qaida-, so he can get influence for his oil company. But this time, the jr. Bush will not leave because he does not have troops on the ground in the cities to be attacked like what happened back in 1993. We all know black hawk down movie.

Instead of getting american troops killed, this Jr. Bush, decided to hire someone whose lives he don't have to protect. Wait, who is dumb enough to do this? No country in the world wants his people getting killed for something they will not profit from. Wait, what about the dumb hungry, ignorant, ugly africans!?

Yes, you guessed it. Bush hired an african dictator to do the dirty work. This dictator is Ethiopian ruler, Melez Zenawi. Now instead of American troops fighting for oil, it is Melez Zenawi fighting for his security - apparently the ruthless can claim his christian country's security is at risk by muslim government in somali taking hold in the future- amazing.

So you see, Zenawi's troops are walking around in Somalia killing anyone they feel is looking at their direction. They are shooting rockets anywhere and everywhere and every direction, and as a result, young children and women, and basically anyone in the country is a target because no one cares who gets killed and who dies.

To think that the money given to Zenawi to keep his troops there comes from american tax payers, it is a shame this has to go on! Wonder why everyone hates americans!
