WFP robbed by the TFG!

There are disturbing reports pointing to another episode of bad deeds happening to the UN's World Food Program agency in Mogadishu, Somalia. In the past, there had been complaints coming from the WFP agency citing lack of security is preventing them from helping those who are starving in the outskirts of Mogadishu, in this east African country. One of the solution was to bring about a UN force to help secure their operations.

On a side note, the US's Bush administration somewhat outsourced the security situation to Ethiopian troops -and also so they can help them secure the unexplored oil that Goerge W Bush wants for his oil company. Many citizens of this troubled country report indiscriminate killings and mascares by the ruthless Tigree (Ethiopians)on the civilian population instead of securing the country they invaded.

Today, there are reports that the TFG millitia army outclassed itself by robbing the same organization they were suppose to secure its operation. Basically, they stopped the WFP trucks on their route to the outskirts of Mogadishu heading to refugee centres.

For about and hour, the Abdullahi Yusuf loyalists kept the unarmed UN trucks under seige as they forced the drivers to pay up or stay put! Eventually, the defenseless drivers paid up not only to continue to their route, but because they were also threatened that they would be shot if they don't put out!

It brings one to question, should the UN continue to play a supportive role towards the TFG while the The Transitional Federal Government force the UN representatives to pay fines for helping the citizens of the country in which this same government is suppose to rule? I guess when you have no other means of getting income, you simply rob those you can force to pay!

Does Al-qaeda have influence in the Somali-Ethiopian conflict?

Welcome brothers and sisters where we discuss issues relating to our country so others can join our struggle and feel sorry for us! With that said, I have read news on dalkanews.com that there is Al-Qaida influence in the Somali-Ethiopia war.


As I qoute, "“ Waxaan ka Codsanaynaa Ururka Al- Qaacida in ay arimaha soomaaliya faraha kala Baxaan maxaa Yeelay hadaan diinta islaamka isku xukumayno iyo Hadii kale anaga ayay noo taalaa shacabka Soomaaliyeedna Waxaan ugu baaqayaa in ay taageeraan Heshiiskii Jabuuti," ayuu yiri Cabdiraxmaan Cabdishakuur.

"We request that Al-Qaeda to leave the Somalia situation because if we, the somalis, are to rule ourselves in the Shari-ah, it is up to ourselves",said Cabdiraxmaan Cabdishakuur. Abdirahman Abdishakur is one of the political leaders who signed the agreement recently in DJabuuti on behalf of the Alliance for the Re-Liberation of Somalia (A.R.S.)


This was reported in Dalkanews. So I beg to ask, is there really Al-Qaeda representative in midst of the Somali community? The second question is, are the somalis better with or without their help?
